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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 ).

    AUY922 was diluted to the appropriate concentration (according to patient body surface area [BSA]) in a 500 mL infusion bag containing 5% dextrose or glucose (with a maximum infusion volume of 500 mL) prior to administration. The drug could be administered using a central line or via peripheral vein. For the Phase Ib part of the study, the starting dose of AUY922 was 55 mg/m2, administered i.v. once weekly (Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each treatment cycle) in combination with the standard trastuzumab therapy (2 mg/kg once weekly or a loading dose of 4 mg/kg at Cycle 1, Day 1 if felt necessary by the investigator). It was possible for some dose levels to be skipped or additional, intermediate doses added during the course of the study. Dose escalation was not to exceed a 100% increase from the current dose being studied. In no case was the AUY922 infusion to start later than 24 hours after trastuzumab infusion.

    Determination of The Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD): Number of Subjects Experiencing Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) During Phase Ib [1]
    End point description
    The number of subjects experiencing a DLT was used to identify the MTD of AUY922 when administered intravenously once a week in combination with the standard trastuzumab therapy. A DLT was defined as an adverse event (AE) or abnormal laboratory value assessed as clinically relevant, occurring ≤ 28 days following the first administration of AUY922 (Cycle 1) in combination with the standard trastuzumab therapy. The MTD was determined as follows: The distribution of the DLT rate for each AUY922 dose and the starting dose level summarized the probability that the true rate of DLT for each dose lay in the following categories: 1. [0, 16%) under-dosing 2. [16%, 33%) targeted toxicity 3. [33%, 100%] excessive toxicity The escalation with overdose control (EWOC) principle mandated that any dose of AUY922 in combination with the standard trastuzumab therapy that had more than a 25% chance of being in the excessive toxicity category was not considered for the next dose cohort.

    Progression Free Survival (PFS) by Investigator Review at The Recommended Phase Two Dose (RPTD) [4]
    End point description
    As defined by the RECIST criteria, PFS is the time from date of randomization/start of treatment to the date of event defined as the first documented progression or death due to any cause. Progression was defined as an increase of at least 20% in the sum of the longest diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of longest diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline. If a subject did not have an event, PFS was censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment. A subject was considered to be censored when data on time to event was missing due to the subject being lost to follow-up before the completion of the trial.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    05 May 2011
    This amendment introduced the following changes: * Removal of FDG-PET imaging assessments. Similar data had been obtained in an ongoing phase II study of HER2+ MBC patients [AUY922A2101], and Novartis considered that additional data would not add further scientific value in understanding the efficacy of AUY922 in MBC; * An exploratory objective (effect of AUY922 on the number of circulating tumor cells) was deleted from the Phase II part of the study. Similar data had been obtained in an ongoing phase II study of HER2+ MBC patients [AUY922A2101], and no additional data were needed at this time. Data obtained before the amendment were to be listed. * Post-Text Supplement 2 “Excluded Medications” was made consistent with Section 6.6.7 of the Study Protocol. Namely, drugs known to be metabolized or to interact with CYP3A4 isoenzymes were not excluded medications, but had to be used with caution as this was the case for drugs known to be metabolized or to interact with CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP2C8; * Removal of the request for chest x-ray, as all patients were having a CT of the chest performed as a required radiological assessment in this study; * Clarification that the AUY922 infusion should start as close as possible but no sooner than 10 minutes from the end of the trastuzumab infusion in order to monitor potential allergic reactions to trastuzumab. In no case was the AUY922 infusion to start later than 24 hours from the end of the trastuzumab infusion; * Updating of Table 6-4 of the Study Protocol to align with the National Cancer Institute CTC version 4 grading of diarrhea. (In the original version of the protocol, Table 6-4 of the Study Protocol was still matching the CTC AE version 3.)
    14 Dec 2011
    This amendment introduced the following changes: * Reduction of the number of biomarkers to be evaluated. Emerging knowledge in the field indicated that, at this time, there was no strong evidence indicating that several of the parameters initially included in this amendment would bring significant value; * In the already completed Phase Ib part of the trial, the HSP70 biomarker had been analyzed in the blood samples collected to compare the levels of specific biomarkers in pre and post-treatment PBMC samples. Other HSP90 client proteins such as CDK4 had not yet been analyzed in these samples and would not be analyzed in the future as sufficient information had been obtained from the HSP70 analysis; * In the Phase II part of the trial, plasma and serum biomarker samples had not yet been analyzed and would not be analyzed in the future. With this amendment, no further blood collections were to be done for biomarker assessments. so far in pre and post fresh tumor biopsy specimens. The changes in HER2 were analyzed as the only PD marker in pre and post fresh tumor biopsy specimens. Also, the collection of paired pre- and post-treatment fresh tumor biopsies became optional; * In addition, a clarification was made in the imaging Section 7.4.1 of the Study Protocol “Radiological assessment of tumor” for consistency with the Section 5.1 of the Study Protocol (inclusion criteria). Following RECIST, measurable lesions which could not be assessed by CT/MRI (for example skin lesions) were acceptable as target lesions; * Another clarification was made in Table 7-4 of the Study Protocol: Summary of tumor assessment.
