Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To investigate the efficacy and safety of nintedanib as compared to matching placebo in patients with stage IIIB/IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with standard therapy of pemetrexed after failure of first-line chemotherapy
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were entered in the study. All subjects were free to withdraw from the clinical trial at any time for any reason given. Close monitoring of all subjects was adhered to throughout the trial conduct. Rescue medication was allowed for all patients as required.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    5 patients at one investigator site were excluded from the enrollment count because of site non-compliance. In the subject disposition , started are actually the randomised patients and completed patients were On-treatment at analysis DBL date (15 February 2013).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    All subjects were screened for eligibility to participate in trial. Subjects attended specialist sites to ensure that they (the subjects) met all implemented inclusion/exclusion criteria. Subjects were not to be randomised to trial drug if an specific entry criteria was violated.

If required the dose of nitedanib could be reduced to 150 mg twice daily (b.i.d.) or 100 mg b.i.d. and two dose reductions for pemetrexed were allowed (according to the protocol-defined dose-reduction scheme).

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Baseline characteristics are based on the patients who were randomised after successfully completing the screening period and received at least one of the trial medication.

    End point description
    QoL was measured by standardised questionnaires (EQ-5D, EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-LC13). The EORTC QLQ-C30 comprises of 30 questions, using both multi-item scales and single-item measures. EORTC LC-13 comprises of 13 questions incorporating 1 multi-item scale and a series of single items. The following were the main points of interest: Time to deterioration of cough (QLQ-LC13 question 1), Time to deterioration of dyspnoea (QLQ-LC13, composite of questions 3 to 5), Time to deterioration of pain (QLQ- C30, composite of questions 9 and 19). Time to deterioration of cough, dyspnoea and pain was defined as the time to a 10-point increase from the baseline score. Median, 25th and 75th percentiles are calculated from an unadjusted Kaplan-Meier curve. 99999: As only 43.9% of patients had a deterioration of cough by the cut-off date, the 75th percentile was not estimable.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    09 Jun 2009
    It was specified that the DMC represented an independent multidisciplinary group consisting of clinicians & biostatistician who, collectively, had expertise in the management of patients with NSCLC &in the conduct &monitoring of randomised clinical trials. It was added that DMC reviewed all serious adverse events in an A/B fashion (i.e. the data were presented to the DMC un-blinded per treatment group without identifying the nintedanib or placebo arm) on an ongoing basis. The dose of folic acid was clarified. In ddition, it was specified that in the USA, folic acid was supplied by the trial sites. Outside of the USA, folic acid was provided by a Contract research organisation appointed by BI. Brain metastases had to be stable for 4 weeks,therefore the exclusion criterion was modified: “Chemo-, hormone-, immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, or radiotherapy (except for extremities) within the past 4 weeks prior to treatment with the trial drug". It was clarified that investigator could access the assigned treatment of individual patient if un-blinding was medically indicated.The dose reduction scheme for pemetrexed was modified.It was specified that Quality of life was only assessed in countries where validated translations of the questionnaires were available. The laboratory analysis of bilirubin was changed. It was clarified clarified that measurement of the oral or tympanic body temperature was preferable, but that other locations were allowed if the measurements were not feasible. However, the same location was to be used at each measurement. In addition to date& time of nintedanib / placebo intake,the investigators were required to also collect the time of the most recent food /beverage intake before each dose of nintedanib / placebo for 2 days prior to and on the day of blood sampling. The screening period was extended from 14 days to 21 days for exceptional cases.
    07 Jul 2011
    It was clarified that the treatment criteria for liver enzymes is for both AST and ALT. It was clarified that patients in the treatment group pemetrexed + BIBF 1120 cannot change to the treatment group BIBF 1120 monotherapy. It was clarified that the patients and site staff will be un-blinded to patients that were on active treatment as of June 18 2011. The sponsor’s trial team involved in the later analysis of the trial remained blinded. For the primary analysis of PFS and supportive inference on OS, the trial database was locked and un-blinded. Recruitment and randomisation was held from 18 June 2011. After the ad hoc interim analysis (cut-off of 14 June 2011), the sponsor stopped recruitment on 29 July 2011. Patients who had completed active therapy by 18 June 2011 remained blinded. Patients on active therapy on 18 June 2011 were un-blinded and thus this procedure did not apply to them. Patients who entered the study after 18 June 2011 were not blinded. Patients interrupting nintedanib therapy for 14 or more consecutive days were not considered non-compliant.After 18 June 2011, Quality of Life (QoL) questionnaires were no longer completed. After 18 June 2011, information on caregiver support was no longer collected. After 18 June 2011, thyroid parameters were no longer determined. For patients entered after 18 June 2011, no PK assessment was done. For patients who were on-treatment with nintedanib before 18 June 2011 and were scheduled for PK assessment after 18 June 2011 and decided to continue combination therapy with nintedanib plus pemetrexed, the PK assessment was to be completed as originally planned. For patients entered after 18 June 2011, no pharmacogenetic blood sampling and analysis was performed.

For patients entered after 18 June 2011, no pharmacogenetic blood sampling and analysis was performed.
    12 Feb 2014
    After the final analysis of PFS and OS had been completed, Amendment 4 changed the definitions for the follow-up period and the end of the whole trial. Instead of follow-up until death or lost to follow-up, patients were now to be followed up for 28 days after the last administration of trial medication (which was the reporting period for AEs). The definition for end-of-trial was thus changed to the point when the last patient had completed his first follow-up visit. Additionally, the Amendment clarified that data on patients who were still on treatment at the time of the final PFS and OS analysis were to be added to this follow-up CTR, following the process of a CTR revision.
