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
    The primary objective of this study was to assess the clinical efficacy of ADI-PEG 20, via the primary endpoint of tumor response by RECIST, in subjects with relapsed sensitive or refractory Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in full conformity with the current revision of the Declaration of Helsinki, International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Guidelines and applicable local laws and regulations, with the understanding that local laws and regulations took precedence over respective sections in the Declaration of Helsinki and/or the ICH Guidelines. Before study drug could be shipped and subjects could be entered into the study, the Institutional Review Board (IRB) or its equivalent must have approved the protocol and informed consent form in writing. The investigator was to obtain witnessed written informed consent from each subject or the subject’s legally authorized representative after adequate explanation of the aims, methods, anticipated benefits, and potential hazards of the study and before any study procedures were performed. Subjects were only to be identified by their initials, date of birth, and subject number on the case report forms (CRFs) or other documents submitted to the Sponsor.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    This was a 2-arm, open-label, phase 2 study of pegylated arginine deiminase (ADI-PEG) 20 in subjects with relapsed sensitive or refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC). ADI-PEG 20 was administered intramuscularly (IM) at a fixed dose of 320 IU/m^2 once weekly for a 4-week cycle.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    22 subjects were enrolled in the study and were treated.

    Cohort 1 Sensitive Disease
    Arm description
    Cohort 1 comprised subjects with "sensitive" disease, defined as subjects who were treated with 1 previous line of chemotherapy and maintained an appropriate response for 90 days or more. Subjects received 4 administrations of ADI-PEG 20 (320 IU/m^2) followed by 1 week of follow-up in each treatment cycle.

    Arm title
    Cohort 2 Refractory Disease
    Arm description
    Cohort 2 comprised subjects with “refractory” disease, defined as subjects who either (a) were treated with 1 previous line of chemotherapy and either had no response or progressed < 90 days after completing treatment or (b) required third-line therapy, i.e., had completed 2 previous lines of chemotherapy, regardless of response. Subjects received 4 administrations of ADI-PEG 20 (320 IU/m^2) followed by 1 week of follow-up in each treatment cycle.

    End point title
    Best overall response [1]
    End point description
    Tumor responses were evaluated using any appropriate imaging type and were categorized according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Per RECIST for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions [no evidence of disease]; Partial Response (PR): ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD): ≥ 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD): small changes that do not meet above criteria.

    End point timeframe

    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: Because no subject in the refractory disease cohort had a response, the study was terminated early and declared negative.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    All adverse events (AEs) occurring between the signing of informed consent and the off-study date were documented, regardless of the causal relationship to study drug. AEs occurring after the first dose of study drug were considered treatment emergent.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Analysis of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) reported from clinical laboratory tests, physical examinations, and vital signs. AE documentation included onset/resolution dates, severity using NCI CTCAE (v4.0), seriousness, study drug action taken, treatment, and outcome.
