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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   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 effect of the combination of panitumumab and paclitaxel on objective response rate in first-line treatment of metastatic or recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (Seoul 2008 version) and the local laws and regulations. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the participant centers. All patients gave written informed consent. Patients could completely or partially withdraw study at any time for any reason without any disadvantage or prejudice. The infusion was stopped in patients who experienced any serious reaction during the administration of panitumumab. Patients who experienced toxicities and needed to permanently discontinue the administration of panitumumab were withdrawn of treatment but continued a safety and survival follow-up.
    Background therapy
    Not applicable.
    Evidence for comparator
    Panitumumab, a fully human IgG2 anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody, has shown activity in preclinical models of SCCHN and promising activity in refractory SCCHN patients in a phase I clinical trial. Recently, our cooperative group also reported encouraging outcomes of anti-EGFR-paclitaxel combination in a phase II study. On the basis of this background, a phase II clinical trial (VECTITAX study) was designed with the objective of evaluating the activity and safety profile of panitumumab in combination with paclitaxel in patients with recurrent or metastatic SCCHN.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Between March 2011 and May 2012, 40 patients were included in 12 centers in Spain (ITT population). One patient met two exclusion criteria (second active neoplasm and B-Hepatitis) and four lacked post-baseline response assessment. Therefore, the PP population comprised 35 patients.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Key inclusion criteria: adult patients with histologically/cytologically confirmed recurrent or metastatic SCCHN; ECOG performance status of 0–1; measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1 criteria; adequate hematologic, renal, hepatic and metabolic functions. Prior treatment with anti-EGFR agents was not allowed within 24 weeks prior to study.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    15 Apr 2010
    After reviewing the considerations of the Clinical Investigation Ethic Committees the suggested changes in the Protocol, the patient Information Sheet and the Informed Consent Form were performed, as well as in the pregnant partner data emission form, with the aim of improving the comprehension. Moreover, the parallel optional study of molecular predictive factors (appendix L in the study protocol) as well as the patient Information Sheet and the corresponding Informed Consent (Appendix M of the study protocol) were attached, being both of new development.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
