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   43843   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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
    The two primary objectives were to compare PFS between the combination treatment of everolimus, trastuzumab, paclitaxel, and the combination treatment of placebo, trastuzumab, paclitaxel in patients with HER2-overexpressing, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in the:  Full population, and  Hormone receptor (HR)-negative subpopulation
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    Clinical benefit rate (CBR) equal to or greater than 24 weeks - HR-negative Population
    End point description
    CBR is defined as the percentage of participants whose best overall response is either complete response (CR), a partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) lasting for at least 24 weeks, according to RECIST. This was assessed in a subset of patients with Hormone Receptor Negative disease. Complete response is achieved when all lesions evaluated at Baseline are absent at subsequent visit.

    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Adverse Events are collected from First Patient First Visit (FPFV) until Last Patient Last Visit (LPLV). All Adverse Events reported in this record are from date of First Patient First Treatment until 30 days after Last Patient Last Visit.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Consistent with EudraCT disclosure specifications, Novartis has reported under the Serious adverse events field “number of deaths resulting from adverse events” all those deaths, resulting from serious adverse events that are deemed to be causally related to treatment by the investigator.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    12 Mar 2009
    In the original protocol, primary efficacy endpoint was based on independent central review of radiology data. In protocol amendment 1, the primary efficacy endpoint was changed to progression-free survival (PFS) assessed using local radiological assessment. The other changes introduced in amendment 1 were: Information on mTOR mechanism of action, safety & PK was updated based on the latest published data & updated everolimus Investigator Brochure Version 8. Management of hyperglycemia was updated as per the most recent everolimus Core Data Sheet Version 1.3, dated 22-Oct-2009. Guidance on the usage of CYP3A4 and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inducers & inhibitors was modified to be consistent with Internal Clinical Pharmacology Drug-Drug interaction memo, which was updated 02-Dec-2009; Inclusion criterion #8 was updated with clarification that in the metastatic setting the discontinuation of endocrine therapy before randomization should be due to disease progression. Exclusion criteria #16 was updated with notes explaining 3rd space fluid accumulation. - Guidelines regarding the management of hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections were added; Modification of neutropenia dose adjustment guidelines, allowing reintroduction at the same dose level if improvement occurs within 7 days; Exploratory PK analyses was added to explore exposure-response relationships between selected efficacy end points/safety parameters/biomarkers & everolimus exposure (Cmin and C2h); Mandate for the IDMC to review PK data was removed. Therefore, ongoing PK data were not be submitted to the IDMC unless specifically requested; Everolimus was now to be administered after meals in clinical studies. This approach had been approved as the global strategy within the everolimus program to achieve consistency between clinical studies; Administrative and typographical revisions were made.
    31 Dec 2012
    This amendment, implemented prior to the planned interim analysis, replaced 514 with 420 events required for the final PFS analysis. It was noted that a higher percentage of patients than anticipated discontinued the study prior to a PFS event & it was highly unlikely that originally targeted events required to perform the final analysis would be observed. Based on number & timing of deaths observed, it was projected that the 434 OS events would not be reached prior to end of 2016. Due to longer time interval between the interim/final PFS analysis & final OS analysis, an additional OS interim analysis was added, to be performed after observing approximately 329 (75% information fraction) deaths. As a result of adding an additional OS interim analysis & to maintain the 80% power to detect HR of 0.75 as was originally planned, final number of OS events was revised to 438 from 434. Protocol Synopsis, primary & key secondary efficacy analysis section including sample size & statistical power sections were revised. List of pre-specified subgroups assessing consistency of the efficacy results was updated based on emerging data in the treatment of HER2 positive breast cancer patients & also efficacy of everolimus in ER+ patients based on another study data. Additional safety updates: re-definition of hepatitis C reactivation & AST/ALT dose adjustment guidelines were updated to be consistent with current safety recommendations with everolimus use; language emphasizing the risk of infection specifically pulmonary infection & sepsis; language outlining reproductive toxicity & use of everolimus with guidelines for contraceptive use & pregnancy follow-up; a clarification was added to confirm SAE data was to be collected in the safety database, not clinical database for screen failure patients who signed the ICF. Other administrative changes were added, including updates on SSC membership, TRIO & Novartis Project Teams, change of CIRG’s name to TRIO & editorial clarifications.
    26 Mar 2014
    The primary purpose of this amendment was to add a second primary objective to evaluate PFS in the HR-negative subpopulation in addition to the full study population. Similarly OS and all other secondary objectives would be evaluated in HR-negative subpopulation in addition to the full study population. This amendment was supported by emerging pre-clinical and emerging scientific data from randomized Phase III studies of everolimus; and recent data from clinical studies using novel HER2 targeted therapies. The multiplicity arising from two tests performed to address two primary objectives was controlled via use of a weighted Hochberg procedure. Additional changes were: The protocol was updated with recent available clinical data from everolimus studies; data on HER2 targeted therapies in HR negative patients; and the number of patients with various malignancies exposed to everolimus; Sample size and statistical power; statistical hypothesis, model, and method of analysis; interim analysis for PFS and OS; and recording and processing of data were updated to address implications for the HR-negative subpopulation; Sections on schedule of assessments and disease-related events/outcomes were updated for consistency. Safety assessments were updated to clarify routine monitoring of vital signs; Administrative and typographical revisions were made.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Of the 480 patients enrolled in the Everolimus arm, 8 were untreated and in the Placebo arm, of the 239 patients enrolled, 1 was untreated.
