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 main purpose of the trial was to assess the efficacy of the combined treatment with ipilimumab and intratumoral IL-2 based on the Disease Control Rate according to immune-related Response Criteria (irDCR) at week 12
    Protection of trial subjects
    Before the beginning of the study, approval of the responsible Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) was obtained. The responsible IEC of the coordinating investigator was the ethics committee of medical faculty of the University of Tuebingen. The study was approved on 27.10.2011. Protocol Amendment 1 was approved on 08.04.2013 by the responsible IEC. The regulatory basis of the conduct of this study consisted of the Declaration of Helsinki (in its current version), the AMG (German Medicinal Products Act), in particular Sections 40-42 in the current versions, and the principles of the proper conduct of clinical trials (ICH GCP). In accordance with the AMG, the sponsor had taken out insurance for all subjects who gave consent to participation in the clinical trial. The Investigator provided adequate information to the subject prior to subject signing the informed consent. The Institute provided an information sheet to the subjects and prepared it in accordance with the Note for Guidance on Good Clinical Practice (ICH, Topic E6, 1995) for the purpose of obtaining informed consent. In addition to this written information, the Investigator informed the subject verbally.
    Background therapy
    Concomitant systemic or local anti-cancer medications or treatments were prohibited in this study while receiving study treatment. Furthermore the following therapies during the study were prohibited: · Any non-study anti-cancer agent (investigational or non-investigational) · Any other investigational agents · Any other CTLA-4 inhibitors or agonists · CD137 agonists · Immunosuppressive agents · Chronic systemic corticosteroids · Any non-oncology vaccine therapies used for the prevention of infectious diseases (for up to 30 days prior to or after any dose of study drug).

    Proleukin® S administration at a dosage of 9 MIU was planned at days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, 22 and 25 by intratumoral injections. The total daily dose was distributed between all selected soft-tissue metastases up to a maximum of 5. The total daily dose of 9 MIU IL-2 was distributed proportionally according to lesion sizes. Injections should have been guided by sonography for deep soft tissue metastases to ensure the intratumoral route of application

    End point title
    Disease Control Rate according to immune-related Response Criteria (irDCR) at week 12 [1]
    End point description
    The primary endpoint of this study was the Disease Control rate according to immune-related Response Criteria (irDCR) at week 12. irDCR at week 12 represents the sum of patients with an overall response (irCR or irPR or irSD) divided by the total number of patients, who were evaluable for efficacy. According to the definition of the evaluable set (see section 8.1) 15 patients were evaluable for the primary endpoint. 3 of the 15 patients (20.0%) showed irSD at week 12 and 10 of the 15 patients (66.7%) showed irPD at week 12. For 2 of the 15 patients (13.3%) the end of treatment visit including tumor assessment was performed before week 12 due to progressive disease requiring another systemic treatment (Table 4). Therefore the irDCR at week 12 amounts to 20.0%:

    Immune –related Overall Response Rate (irORR) at week 12
    End point description
    Immune –related Overall Response Rate (irORR) at week 12 is defined as the sum of patients with an Overall Response (irPR or irCR) at week 12, divided by the total number of patients who were evaluable for efficacy. Since none of the 15 evaluable patients showed irCR or irPR at week 12 (Table 4), the irORR at week 12 was 0%

    End point description
    Immune-related Best Overall Response Rate (irBORR) is defined as number of patients whose irBOR was irCR (Complete Response) or irPR (Partial Response), divided by the total number of patients who were evaluable for efficacy. Of the 15 evaluable patients none of them showed irCR or irPR as Best Response. Therefore the irBORR is 0%.

    End point description
    This secondary endpoint represents the sum of patients with an overall response (CR or PR) according to modified WHO criteria) at week 12, divided by the total number of patients, who were evaluable for efficacy. 15 patients were evaluable for the analysis. 1 of the 15 patients (6.67%) showed SD (Stable Disease) according to mWHO criteria at week 12 and 12 of the 15 patients (80.0%) showed PD according to mWHO at week 12. For 2 of the 15 patients (13.3%) the end of treatment visit including tumor assessment was performed before week 12 due to progressive disease requiring another systemic treatment. Since none of the 15 evaluable patients showed CR or PR (according to mWHO) at week 12, the ORR at week 12 according to modified WHO criteria was 0%.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    After analysis of the first 15 patients , an unsatisfactory efficacy (irDCR at week 12: 20.0%) became aware. Therefore the second part of the study involving additional 24 patients was omitted.
