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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 clinical benefit (defined at 4 months as complete response, partial response or stable disease), safety and preserved geriatric independence. (main objective is a “bi-criteria” or composite criteria).
    Protection of trial subjects
    In order to ensure the protection of the rights, safety and well-being of trial subjects, this study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origins in the latest version of the Declaration of Helsinki (1964) and subsequent amendments, ICH Good Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPMP/ICH/135/95), the European Directive (2001/20/CE) on the conduct of clinical trials, and the applicable local regulatory requirements and laws (The Huriet Law N°88-1138 of the 20th December 1998 on the protection of persons taking part in biomedical research; The National Informatics and Freedoms Commission – Law N° 78-17 of the 6th January 1978 modified by the law N° 2004-801 of the 6th August 2004 concerning the protection of the person with regards to the use of personal data; Bioethical law N°2011-814 of the 8th July 2011). Furthermore, independent Ethics Committees reviewed and gave favorable opinions to the study documents, including the initial protocol and all subsequent amendments, and all information and documents provided to subjects/patients. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients prior to enrollment.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The GERICO 09 study was a multicentric phase II study evaluating the toxicity and activity of the combination of lapatinib+ capecitabine in locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer over expressing HER2 for patients aged ≥70 who have failed after one line of chemotherapy in combination with trastuzumab.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The study consisted of a 28-day screening phase (patients' eligibility and baseline measurements), a treatment phase (21-day cycle till disease progression or unacceptable toxicity), and a long-term follow-up to monitor the clinical benefit rate, time to progression, progression-free survival, overall survival, overall response, rate and safety

    Lapatinib plus capecitabine
    Arm description
    Lapatinib was administrated orally at the dose of 1250 mg/day in combination with capecitabine. Capecitabine was administered at 850 mg/m² bi-daily from D1 to D14 of the first 21-cycle then, if no unacceptable toxicity was observed during the first cycle, at the dose of 1000 mg/m² bi-daily from D1 to D14 of subsequent 21-day cycles.

    Benefit was defined at 4 months after inclusion as complete response, partial response, or stable disease.
    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.
    Justification: The study was halted prematurely with only 4 patients inlcuded. Thus, no statistical analysis was performed.
