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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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.

    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated

    E.1.2System Organ Class 10029104 - Neoplasms benign, malignant and unspecified (incl cysts and polyps)
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To determine whether pre-operative treatment of HER2 positive breast cancer patients with anti HER2 therapy increases cell death and/or decreases proliferation
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To identify indicators (molecular markers) of response to anti-HER2 therapy. At
    present, we can only look at markers in tumour tissue removed at surgery i.e. before any anti HER2 treatment. In EPHOS-B we aim to compare these markers using tissue taken before anti HER2 treatment with tissue taken again at surgery after 11 days
    (± 1 day) of treatment, to see which set of markers best predict a patient's future outcome.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    • Women aged ≥18 years.
    • HER2 positive (3+ on IHC or amplification proven by FISH*) operable invasive breast cancer diagnosed by core biopsy.
    • Planned surgery within one month of diagnosis.
    • Serum creatinine and bilirubin <2 times the upper limits of normal for the institution, or creatinine clearance >30mg/dL. (Marginally abnormal test results should be repeated).
    • ECOG performance status 0, 1, or 2 (Karnofsky ≥ 60%).
    • Non pregnant and non-lactating with no intention of pregnancy during study treatment. Women of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate non-hormonal contraception for the duration of the treatment phase of the study (adequate contraceptive measures include intra-uterine device, barrier method e.g. diaphragm and condoms used in conjunction with spermicidal jelly). Women of childbearing potential must have a negative blood serum pregnancy test within 28 days prior to randomisation).
    • Patients must be candidates for and willing to undergo adjuvant chemotherapy and trastuzumab post surgery.
    • Written informed consent obtained for trial and to donation of tissue and blood samples.

    * Details of how FISH cases should be categorised are included the protocol.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    • HER2 negative cancers and those with unknown HER2 status.
    • Inoperable breast cancer (T4 category) or suspicion of distant metastases.
    • Diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer.
    • Clinical evidence of metastatic disease.
    • Prior herceptin therapy within the last 12 months or local (radiotherapy) cancer treatments.
    • Previous cancer at any other site that has been treated within the last 6 months (except previous basal cell carcinoma and cervical carcinoma in situ)
    • Have current active hepatic or biliary disease (with exception of patients with Gilbert's syndrome, asymptomatic gallstones or stable chronic liver disease per investigator assessment).
    • Impaired gastro-intestinal function thought sufficient to reduce lapatinib absorption.
    • Contra-indicated to receive adjuvant chemotherapy and /or trastuzumab (ECOG >2).
    • Known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity, reaction to drugs chemically related to trastuzumab or lapatinib.
    • Other concomitant investigational agents or concurrent anti-cancer therapy.
    • Use of herbal (alternative) therapies within 2 weeks of study entry.
    (NB vitamin and / or mineral supplements are allowed).See Appendix 1 of the protocol.
    • If patients are taking any of the prohibited medication as listed in Appendix 1 of the protocol.
    • Regular use of systemic steroids or other agents that could influence study endpoints (inhaled steroids are allowed).
    • Any altered mental state that would preclude obtaining written informed consent.
    • Clinically significant cardiac abnormalities or uncontrolled hypertension.
    • Previous myocardial infarction, heart failure, or significant angina. Cardiac function should be assessed by physical examination, ECG, and baseline LVEF should be ≥55% as measured by echocardiography or MUGA.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoints are preoperative changes in apoptosis and/or proliferation. The hypothesis is that there will be a significant increase in tumour apoptosis or a fall in tumour proliferation between baseline biopsy at diagnosis and surgery.

For all other purposes, the study end date is deemed to be the date of of last data capture.

Choice of therapy will be independent of whether the patient received perioperative antiHER2 treatment. With regard to the duration of the trastuzumab treatment centres may choose at their discretion
