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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 determine the Progression-Free Survival (PFS) of oral vinorelbine as a single agent in patients with hormone receptor positive breast cancer with bone metastases previously treated by a hormone therapy.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the current Declaration of Helsinki and was consistent with International Conference on Harmonization Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP) and applicable regulatory requirements. The study was conducted in compliance with the protocol. The protocol, amendments, and the subject informed consent received Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) approval/favourable opinion prior to initiation of the study and/or their implementation.
    Background therapy
    Prophylactic oral anti-emetic medication with a 5-HT3 antagonist was recommended before each oral vinorelbine administration. Oral antiemetic treatments were provided to the patients at home. The use of corticosteroids as anti-emetic treatment was allowed. Patients had to receive full supportive care including antibiotics, antidiarrhoeals, analgesics, transfusion of blood products, when appropriate. The use of drugs with laxative properties had to be avoided. Prophylactic use of Colony Stimulating Factor (CSF) was allowed during the study treatment. Granulocyte stimulating growth factors could be given to patients who experienced febrile neutropenia, grade 4 asymptomatic neutropenia or neutropenic infection according to institutional rules. Patients had to be under treatment by a bisphosphonate since at least one month before entering the study.
    Evidence for comparator
    No control arm was planned as the study aimed at evaluating the clinical benefit of oral vinorelbine in patients suffering from bone metastases from breast cancer after failure to hormone therapy.

    Dosage and administration details
    Patients received Oral vinorelbine single agent at the dose of 60 mg/m² weekly at the first cycle (1 cycle = 4 weeks of treatment) then at the increased dose of 80 mg/m² at cycle 2 and subsequent cycles in the absence of a grade 3 or grade 4 neutropenia. Oral vinorelbine was given on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of a cycle. Patients had to receive at least 3 cycles of treatment unless documented disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient refusal. Vinorelbine was supplied as soft capsules that had to be rapidly swallowed with a glass of water without chewing or sucking them. It was recommended to take the capsules with some food. The treatment was administered on an outpatient setting. However, the patient had to return to the hospital at Day 1 of each cycle to receive study drugs at the hospital under the supervision of the investigator. The study medication had to be stored refrigerated (2°C to 8°C) and protected from light in the original closed container.

    Progression-free survival [1]
    End point description
    PFS was estimated on the ITT population (all treated patients) using Kaplan Meier curves and Confidence intervals on the median PFS were calculated using the reflected method. Patients lost to follow-up, or without a known record of progression or death at the time of analysis had the progression-free survival censored at the date of last tumour assessment or last contact of a follow-up showing no progression, whichever occurred last.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    PFS was calculated from the registration date until the date of progression or death due to any cause if no progression was recorded first. Median duration of follow-up at final analysis was 43.3 months.
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Each patient was assessed for occurrence of AEs throughout the study period (starting after the 1st dose of study medication and up to and including 30 days after the last dose). At DCO, all patients have discontinued (med duration: 5.8 (0.9-18.4)months).
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Any AE occurring during the study period, spontaneously reported by the patient or observed by others, was recorded in the CRF. The relative dose intensity was 83.0% [22.9-108.2]. More than 1/3 of the patients received more than 90% of the planned dose. The median number of cycles was 6 (1-18).
