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 the progression free survival (one year) of patients with treatment of FOLFIRI and cetuximab, combined with an regular dermal prophylaxis.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Informed consent of patient has been obtained in accordance with § 40 I 3 No. 3 Lit. b), II 1 AMG and § 40 I 3 No. 3 Lit. c). IIa 1&2 AMG by each investigator prior to inclusion of each patient in the study. The nature, objective and importance of the study, the possible benefits and disadvantages or risks, and the study procedures were explained to each patient orally and in writing. The patients were informed that their participation was voluntary, that they were free to withdraw from the study at any time, and that choosing not to participate would not impact on the patient’s care or future treatment. The patients were also informed that, by signing the Informed Consent Form, they explicitly permitted authorized representatives of the sponsor and the regulatory authorities access to study-related personal data to the extent permitted by the applicable law(s) and/or regulations without violating the confidentiality of the patient, to the extent permitted by the applicable law(s) and/or regulations. The patients were also informed that their consent to access their data might not be revoked. Each patient was given sufficient time to read and discuss the ICF with the investigator prior to giving his/her written consent. Before entry to the study and prior to the conduct of any study-related procedure consent was recorded by means of the patient’s dated signature. The patient was then given a copy of the information sheet and his/her signed consent form. The consent form was retained by the investigator as part of the study records. The investigator did not undertake any investigation specifically required only for the clinical study until valid consent had been obtained. The terms of the consent and when it was obtained were also documented in the case report form (CRF).

    Dosage and administration details
    Cetuximab (according to SmPC): Wk 1: 120 min i.v. infusion (400 mg cetuximab per m2 body surface area), followed by 60 min i.v. infusions (250 mg cetuximab per m2) on day 1 and 8 for up to 1 year or until PD, severe toxicity, CR, secondary operability, treatment refusal, investigator decision, death, or until patient was lost to FU (prior to the first infusion, patients received premedication with an antihistamine and a corticosteroid. This premedication was recommended prior to all subsequent infusions). FOLFIRI scheme, every 2 weeks: Irinotecan 180 mg/m2 (d1), folic acid (FA) 400 mg/m2, 120 min (d1), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) 400 mg/m2 bolus (d1), 5-FU 2,400 mg/m2 i.v. for a duration of 46 hours (d1-2). Prophylactic skin treatment: Reconval K1® ointment (0.1%) on the face, chest, and fingers once daily in the evening plus doxycycline 100 mg p.o. once daily in the morning and in the evening (in case of grade 3+ exanthema, rescue therapy with topical Dermatop® (0.25%) was initiated).

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: 55 patients were screened and gave written informed consent. One patient was excluded before start of treatment phase (screening failure). Therefore, patient baseline characteristics have been analysed for mITT population (n=54) and PP population (n=46).

    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: No formal statistical test was performed for the primary objective, since recruitment was stopped after 55 enrolled patients (33% of the 165 planned) leading to a marked reduction of power to establish an anticipated increase of 1-year PFS rate from 25% to 35%.

    Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time span from registration until progression or death from any cause, whatever happened first. Fourteen (mITT population) and nine patients (PP population) were censored. Additional post-hoc analysis of Progression free survival related to severity grade of the acneiform follicular exanthema grade 0-2 vs grade 3-4 was performed (mITT population). The median PFS was 8.2 months (95%-CI 4.7 to 27.5 months) in patients with a grade 3-4 exanthema (n=8) and it was 8.6 months (95% CI 6.6 to 11.2 months) in patients with a grade 0-2 exanthema (n= 46). The grade of the exanthema had minor impact on PFS.

In addition, post-hoc analysis of OS related to the severity grade of the acneiform follicular exanthema was performed (mITT population). Median OS (months; [95% CI]) for subgrouped patients was: No exanthema (n=6): 7.6 [1.0 - NA]; CTCAE grade 1 (n=25): 24.3 [16.0 - 42.7]; CTCAE grade 2 (n=15): 38.0 [7.9 - 48.7]; CTCAE grade 3 (n=8): 29.7 [6.0 - 41.8]; A post-hoc exploratory cox regression analysis was performed for OS focusing on several known prognostic markers: For ECOG performance status (ECOG 1 vs. ECOG 0 at baseline: HR=2.68, p=0.007), response to first-line therapy (no response vs response: HR=3.36, p=0.002) and liver limited disease (not liver-limited vs. liver-limited disease, HR=2.26, p=0.029) a relation to OS could be seen, while higher grade acneiform rash as well as CEA level did not show a trend towards better OS.

    Adverse Events (AEs) were graded according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria v.3.0. Adverse events were recorded during study treatment and until 30 days after treatment end (TEAEs). Extend of exposure: Patients received systemic therapy (cetuximab plus FOLFIRI) for a median duration of 20.5 weeks ranging from 2.0 to 64.1 weeks, or a median of 10 cycles, ranging from 1 to 30 cycles. Patients received cetuximab therapy for a median duration of 20.1 weeks ranging from 1.0 to 64.1 weeks, or a median of 9.5 cycles, ranging from 1 to 30 cycles. Chemotherapeutic agents were also mostly administered for 20.1 weeks or 9.5 cycles. Skin prophylaxis was administered for a median of 139 days (19.86 weeks), ranging from 14 to 434 days (2 to 62 weeks). Doxycycline was given for a median of 126 days (18.0 weeks), ranging from 7 to 434 days (1 to 62 weeks), and Reconval K1® ointment was given for a me-dian of 139 days (19.86 weeks), ranging from 14 to 433 days (2 to 61.86 weeks).

    25 Mar 2013
    Substantial AM #2 (protocol v4.0, 01-Feb-2013; exclusion of expl. transl. research)
    21 Feb 2014
    Substantial AM #3 (protocol v5.0, 16-Jan-2014; Premature end of recruitment after enrollement of the 55. patient)

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    No formal statistical test was performed for the primary objective, since recruitment was stopped after 55 enrolled patients (33% of the 165 planned) leading to a marked reduction of power to establish an a increase of 1-year PFS rate from 25% to 35%
