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   44313   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7357   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
    Phase I: To determine the safety profile of weekly RAD001 in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in chemonaive patients with unresectable or inoperable locally advanced HNSCC. Phase II: To assess anti-tumor activity of the combination in these patients.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Premedication Administration of paclitaxel should be preceded by an anti-allergic premedication with solumedrol 80 mg IV and polaramine 5 mg IV, and an anti-emetic prophylaxis at the discretion of the investigator. Dose adjustments: Doses will be reduced for hematological and other adverse events. Dose adjustments are to be made according to the system showing the greatest degree of toxicity. Adverse events will be graded using the NCI CTCAE version 3.0. Except for nausea and vomiting, dose reductions are definitive. A maximum of 2 dose reductions are allowed. First dose reduction has to be done on RAD001 and the second one on carboplatin and/or paclitaxel. Patients who should experience a third dose reduction must be dropped out of study. Anemia should be treated according to investigator’s discretion. No dose reduction is allowed, but erythropoietin use is permitted.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Patient enrollment occurred from 15 October 2009 (first patient was treated in phase I) to 20 November 2012 (laste patient enrolled in phase II).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Patient with inoperable Locally Advanced Head and Neck Squamous cell carcinoma. Phase I (permitted to identify the recommended dose level): 7 patients were enrolled: 4 at dose level 1 (RAD001 30mg) and 3 at dose level 2 (RAD001 50mg). Phase II: 43 patients were enrolled at dose RAD001 50mg.

    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: 50 patients were included in phase I and phase II. 4 patients treated at dose level RAD001 30mg and 3 patients at dose level RAD001 50mg, permitted to identify the recommended dose level (RAD001 50mg) 46 patients treated at the dose level recommended (3 patients phase I and 43 patients phase II) were evalauted (overall period)
