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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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
    The main objective of this study was to prospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of axitinib with and without dose titration in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC)
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements, as well as the ethical principles of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) as required by the major regulatory authorities, and in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki as amended by the 52nd World Medical Association (WMA) General Assembly in October 20001. Informed consent was obtained from each patient (or patient’s legally authorized representative) before the patient was admitted to the study.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    This study was conducted at 49 centers in Czech Republic, Germany, Japan, Russian Federation, Spain, and United States (US).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Participants were enrolled in a 4-week lead-in period, during which they received axitinib 5 milligram (mg) twice a day (BID). After the lead-in period, participants meeting randomization criteria were then randomized to one of the two treatment arms. Participants, not meeting criteria, continued study without dose titration (non-randomized arm).

    Subject, Investigator
    Blinding implementation details
    The dose titration in the randomized arms (Arm A and B) was double-blinded. The interactive voice response system (IVRS) assigned study treatment on Cycle 2 Day 1. The IVRS maintained the blind.

    Arm title
    Active Titration Arm
    Arm description
    Participants initially received axitinib 5 mg twice a day (BID) + axitinib (blinded therapy) 2 mg BID. After at least 2 consecutive weeks, participants satisfying the dose titration criteria had their dose level increased by one additional dose level, to axitinib 5 mg BID + axitinib (blinded therapy) 5 mg BID, unless otherwise contraindicated per the investigator’s clinical judgment. The maximum total daily dose was 10 mg BID (axitinib 5mg BID + axitinib [blinded therapy] 5 mg BID).

    ORR was defined as the proportion of participants with objective response based assessment of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.0). CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease. No new lesions. PR was defined as >=30% decrease on study under baseline of the sum of longest diameters of all target lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-target disease. No new lesions.

    Apparent oral clearance (CL/F) of Axitinib [11]
    End point description
    Clearance (CL) of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed (F). Clearance is defined as the volume of blood from which drug can be completely removed per unit of time. CL/F for steady-state axitinib was evaluated on Cycle 2 Day 15.

    Reporting group title
    Active Titration Arm
    Reporting group description
    Participants initially received axitinib 5 mg twice a day (BID) + axitinib(blinded therapy) 2 mg BID. After at least 2 consecutive weeks, participants satisfying the dose titration criteria had their dose level increased by one additional dose level, to axitinib 5 mg BID + axitinib (blinded therapy) 5 mg BID, unless otherwise contraindicated per the investigator’s clinical judgment. The maximum total daily dose was 10 mg BID (axitinib 5mg BID + axitinib [blinded therapy] 5 mg BID).

    Reporting group title
    Non-randomized Arm
    Reporting group description
    Participants not eligible for randomization were assigned to receive axitinib 5 mg BID or a reduced dose per the dose modification guideline. Dose titration was not permitted in this treatment arm.

    Reporting group title
    Placebo Titration Arm
    Reporting group description
    Participants initially received axitinib 5mg BID + placebo (blinded therapy) 2 mg BID. After at least 2 consecutive weeks, participants satisfying the dose titration criteria had their dose level increased by one additional dose level, to axitinib 5 mg BID + placebo (blinded therapy) 5 mg BID, unless otherwise contraindicated per the investigator’s clinical judgment. The maximum total daily dose was 10 mg BID (axitinib 5mg BID + placebo [blinded therapy] 5 mg BID).
