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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To determine the effect on progression-free survival (PFS) of adding amatuximab (MORAb-009) to the combination of pemetrexed and cisplatin in the treatment of subjects with unresectable malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) who have not received prior systemic therapy, as assessed using the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) for the assessment of response in MPM. Secondary: • To evaluate antitumor activity, as assessed by objective tumor response (overall response rate [ORR]) • To evaluate duration of response (DR) • To evaluate overall survival (OS) • To determine the safety and tolerability of amatuximab when administered with pemetrexed and cisplatin Exploratory (various tests were performed)

    End point title
    Progression Free Survival at Month 6
    End point description
    PFS was defined as the time from the date of the first dose of amatuximab to the date of disease progression or death due to any cause, as determined by independent radiologist based on the modified RECIST utilizing the total tumor measurement (performed by computerized tomography (CT)/ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) which includes the pleural unidimensional measure plus the total of the target lesion(s) measurement (Byrne and Nowak, 2004). A “response”, in terms of PFS, was defined to be at least a 6-month stabilization of disease. The data is presented as number of participants (PFS responders and non-responders) at 6 months for the first 77 participants enrolled. Progressive disease (PD) as measured by Modified RECIST was defined as an increase of at least 20% in the total tumor measurement over the nadir measurement, or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    End point description
    ORR, defined as the percentage of participants with objective evidence of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined by independent radiologist based on the modified RECIST utilizing the total tumor measurement (performed by CT/ MRI) which includes the pleural unidimensional measure plus the total of the target lesion(s) measurement (Byrne and Nowak, 2004). Tumor assessments performed up to the initiation of further anticancer therapy were considered. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions with no evidence of tumor elsewhere, and PR was defined as at least a 30% reduction in the total tumor measurement. A confirmed response required a repeat observation on two occasions 4 weeks apart. ORR = CR + PR. There was no subject with CR.

    Date
    Amendment
    24 Jun 2009
    - The number of sites was increased 25 to 35 - An IDMC review of safety after 8 subjects completed one cycle of combination therapy was added - Added to inclusion criterion #3 "...or who are otherwise not candidates for curative surgery" - Removed from inclusion criterion #3 the requirement of 75% sarcomatous content - Amended inclusion criterion #9 to instruct subjects to maintain adequate birth control throughout the study and for at least 8 weeks (5 half-lives) after the last dose of amatuximab - Removed exclusion criterion #11 which required contrast agent for tumor imaging and clarified in procedures that use of contrast agent with CT was recommended - Reduced the number of cycles on combination therapy from 12 to 6 - Removed the requirement for use of non-protein binding tubing for study drug infusions - Specified that amatuximab premedications be administered approximately one half hour before the infusion - Removed references to oral administration of diphenhydramine to allow standard practice per site - Specified that pemetrexed and cisplatin (and associated premedications) should be administered per package insert or per the site's standard practice - Removed the requirement to collect source and length of exposure to asbestos - Clarified timing of vital signs assessment as 1, 2, and 4 hours post amatuximab infusion, not following infusion of pemetrexed and cisplatin - Removed the requirement for imaging of the pelvis - Moved baseline PFT assessment to Screening visit - Expanded the definition of Overall PFS to differentiate it from the primary endpoint
    19 Nov 2010
    - Added US Adopted Name for MORAb-009 (amatuximab) - Removed exploratory fludeoxyglucose and single-photon emission CT imaging substudies - Clarified the time point for the interim analysis and corresponding IDMC review meeting as "33 subjects evaluable for PFS at 6 months" instead of "33 subjects have completed the first enrollment stage." - Made the following modifications to the Inclusion criteria: >Clarified requirements for measurable disease at screening as "measurable disease at Screening using CT-scans covering chest/thorax and abdomen" in criterion no. 4 > Specified details of surgical eligibility related to criterion no. 3 > Specified diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma in criterion no. 3 - Made the following modifications to the Exclusion criteria: >Clarified the specific exclusion of peritoneal mesothelioma in criterion no. 1 >Added an allowance for prior use of low-dose corticosteroids to criterion no. 9 - Specified “pleural” mesothelioma in inclusion and exclusion criteria - Added request for delivery of imaging data after discontinuation due to either intolerance to study treatment or any reason other than unequivocal disease progression - Revised to state that interim analysis decision to complete Stage 2 of Simon 2-stage design would be determined by the IDMC based on the primary statistical assessment of PFS response using independent radiologist imaging assessments rather than the investigator's imaging assessment of tumor response
    16 May 2011
    - Changed time frame for concomitant medication data collection to 30 days prior to first dose through 30 days after the last dose of amatuximab - Clarified temperature monitoring log for amatuximab - Extensively clarified reporting of Grade 3 versus Grade 4 AEIs - Clarified pregnancy reporting - Updated ADA blood draw schedule for single-agent maintenance therapy as Week 1 of every third cycle - Updated single-agent blood draw schedule and amount of blood to be collected - Updated instructions for NCI CTCAE Grade 3 or 4 Allergy Mandated IRB/IEC notification of deviations from the protocol or SAEs as “must” rather than “should” notify and updating of study status if “required” rather than “requested” - Included both references to Federal Code of Regulations and ICH Guidelines in regards to the inclusion of the elements of an informed consent form - Clarified subject confidentiality - Clarification of data management plan, eCRF details and study materials - Clarified the instructions and regulations for required retention of data
    03 Oct 2011
    Increased time frame for subject treatment to 84 months and follow-up to 30 months
    14 Jun 2012
    Implemented an exploratory endpoint of tissue-based biomarkers as a surrogate for predicting response to immunotherapy
