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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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.1.2Term Glioblastoma
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    • To demonstrate the superiority in overall survival (OS) when bevacizumab is
    added to temozolomide with radiotherapy followed by temozolomide for the
    treatment of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma
    • To demonstrate the superiority in progression-free survival (PFS) (using adapted
    MacDonald criteria) when bevacizumab is added to temozolomide with
    radiotherapy followed by temozolomide for the treatment of patients with newly
    diagnosed glioblastoma
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    • To compare 1-year and 2-year survival rates between treatment arms
    • To evaluate the safety profile between treatment arms
    • To compare health-related quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30, BN20) between
    treatment arms
    Exploratory Objectives
    • To compare the objective response rate (ORR) based on adapted MacDonald
    criteria, and the duration of objective response, between treatment arms
    • To assess and compare OS and PFS between and within arms in relation to MGMT
    status
    • To compare the neurocognitive function (NCF) using MMSE© between treatment
    arms
    • To explore and compare the use of corticosteroids between treatment arms
    • Roche Clinical Repository (RCR) samples will be collected to enable exploratory
    correlative analysis of biomarkers with the overall survival, progression-free
    survival, and objective response rate
    • RCR samples will also be collected to explore and compare changes in biomarkers
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Title : Roche Clinical Repository (RCR) project for exploratory biomarker research, included in the main protocol (full title : see section A3)

    objectives : Genetic and non-genetic samples will be collected and will be used for research purposes to identify dynamic biomarkers that are predictive of treatment response (including therapeutic response or resistance, dose, safety and
    tolerability) and will help to better understand the pathogenesis, course and outcome of glioblastoma and related diseases. The collected samples might allow the generation of statistically meaningful biomarker data.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    • OS, defined as the time between randomization and death due to any cause. Patients without an event will be censored the last time they were known to be alive.
    • PFS, defined as the time between randomization and disease progression (using adapted MacDonald Response Criteria) or death due to any cause. Patients without an event will be censored at the date of last follow up for progression. Patients with no post baseline follow up for progression will be censored at the day of randomization. For submission purposes in the United States, patients who receive non protocol specified anti-cancer therapy (NPT) will be censored at the last tumour assessment prior to receiving NPT. Also, only deaths occurring within 112 days (two tumour assessments) of the last tumour assessment will be counted as events

Based on the statistical assumptions (see Section 8 of the Protocol) and anticipating a recruitment period of approximately 42 months, the end of the study is estimated to occur when the last randomized patient has been followed for 17 months (at the time of the final OS analysis).
