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   43845   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the safety, efficacy and toxicity of carboplatin AUC-10 in metastatic seminoma in a multi centre setting.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Participant safety was continuously monitored through reporting of adverse events and laboratory assessments. Requirements for platelets, white blood cells and neutrophil levels for treatment to proceed were specified in the protocol with guidance on management in the event that these parameters were below the required levels. A Trial Steering Committee (TSC) convened periodically throughout the trial to review the conduct of the clinical trial to ensure continuing patient safety.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Patients with metastatic chemotherapy and radiotherapy naïve seminoma who had International Germ Cell Cancer Collaborative Group (IGCCCG) good prognosis disease (i.e. no non-pulmonary visceral metastases) were recruited into the study at two centres in London, United Kingdom between Feb - 2012 and Apr - 2015.

    Carboplatin AUC 10 according to the Calvert formula (10 x (GFR (ml/min) + 25) mg was given in 5% glucose over 1 hour every 21 days. A PET-CT scan was carried out on day 17-21 of the first cycle. The PET - CT scans were centrally reviewed. If the PET - CT scan showed a complete response (Deauville ≤3) the patient would stop treatment after 3 cycles. If the PET – CT showed persistent activity (Deauville >3), then patients went on to have 4 cycles in total

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    30 Apr 2012
    - Inclusion criterion 2 amended to specify minimum required glomerular filtration rate of 25ml/min (value was missing). - Inclusion criterion 5 amended to clarify that age range is inclusive of 18 and 75 years. - Full Blood Count added on Cycle 1 Day 13-17 to check blood counts prior to proceeding to cycle 4 (previous version specified only cycle 2-4). - CT scan within 28 days of completing treatment removed as not required.
    29 May 2012
    Change in Sponsor name from Barts and the London NHS Trust to Barts Health NHS Trust.
    19 Dec 2012
    - Removal of requirement for post - treatment PET - CT scan for patients who have complete remission after cycle 1. - Allowable window included for Day 1 procedures on Cycles 2 – 4. - Confirmation that dose banding is not permitted added.
    24 Oct 2013
    - Change in requirements for recording concomitant medications. The IMP for this study was a licensed product, therefore it was not deemed necessary to record concomitant medications administered as supportive care. - Clarification added for when to recalculate Carboplatin dose. The glomerular filtration rate determined by EDTA clearance was only assessed pretreatment. Therefore the dose only needed to be recalculated if serum Creatinine rose >20% above baseline.
    12 Feb 2015
    - Clarification of the process for sending images for central review. - Amendments to the reporting timelines for the central review. - Change in Sponsor's representative. - Addition of urgent safety measure procedures. - Update to the pregnancy reporting procedures.
    21 Sep 2015
    - Exemption of requirement for baseline CT scan if PET-CT scan was done instead if clinician already suspected diagnosis to avoid unnecessary scans for trial subjects.

    - Reduction of the follow-up period from three years to two years. This decision was made as normally less than 10% of the total recurrences occur beyond 2 years and hence it has now become convention to quote 2 year progression-free survival in germ cell tumour (GCT) studies. This change does not affect the scope or validity of trial results, and was made after review by the Chief Investigator and trial statistician. - The end of the study definition was changed from “the date the last patient has completed his final follow up visit” to “3 months after the date when the last patient has completed his final follow up visit”. This was to allow additional time for data collection, cleaning, and analysis.
