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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The secondary objectives are to assess the safety/tolerability of the combination AZD6244-fulvestrant, and other outcome parameters.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    - Patient must give written informed consent before any trial-specific examination and randomization.
    - Histologically/cytologically confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer.
    - Advanced stage breast cancer (HER2 positive is allowed), not amenable to curative therapy.
    - All available biopsies tested are estrogen receptor and/or progesterone receptor positive: ≥10 % tumor cells positive by immunohistochemistry or ≥ 10 fmol/mg cytosol protein by ligand binding assay.
    - Patients with bilateral breast cancer are eligible if tumors endocrine sensitivity has been proven on both sides.
    - Relapse or progression after AI used as adjuvant therapy or for advanced stage disease. Previous treatment with tamoxifen is allowed.
    - ≤ 1 line of chemotherapy for advanced stage breast cancer.
    - Measurable disease (according to RECIST criteria v1.1 [80]) or other lesions assessable by radiological exams, i.e. bone-only disease or small but unequivocal liver or lung metstases [96].
    - Postmenopausal women (FSH, LH, and estradiol must be measured in case of doubt to confirm postmenopausal status)
    - WHO performance status of 0, 1, or 2 (see Appendix 3)
    - Patient is able to swallow AZD6244/placebo capsules
    - Patient has capability to understand information given by the investigator on the trial.
    - Patient adherence and geographic proximity allow proper staging, treatment, and follow-up.
    - Adequate hematological values: hemoglobin level > 90 g/L, platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L, and neutrophils ≥ 1.5 x 109/L.
    - Adequate coagulation tests: INR (International Normalized Ratio) <1.6 and PTT (partial thromboplastin time) in the normal range.
    - Adequate renal function (creatinine clearance > 30mL/min according to Cockcroft-Gault Formula (see Appendix 2)).
    - Adequate hepatic function: ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN (or ≤ 5 x ULN in patients with liver metastases), bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    - Previous treatment with fulvestrant, AZD6244, MEK inhibitors, RAF inhibitors, or endocrine therapies other than AIs (anastrazole, letrozole, exemestane) and tamoxifen.
    - More than 1 line of AI (steroidal and non steroidal AIs are considered two different lines).
    - 2 or more lines of chemotherapy for advanced disease
    - Concomittant cancer therapy or other experimental drugs.
    - Treatment with other experimental drugs or participation in a clinical trial within 30 days prior to trial entry.
    - Contraindication for intramuscular injections
    - Known central nervous system metastasis (patients with brain metastasis treated with radiotherapy and without any sign of brain progression after > 3 months since the end of the radiotherapy may be considered eligible after trial chair approval)
    - Bleeding diathesis.
    - Full-dose anticoagulation during the trial treatment (see also 6.1.16). (Patients receiving full-dose anti-coagulant therapy with low molecular weight heparin or acenocoumarol, phenprocoumone, or analogues are ineligible. Patients receiving prophylactic doses of anticoagulation or antiplatelet drugs are eligible, but the risk of bleeding following intramuscular injection of fulvestrant is higher and the risk/benefit ratio has to be assessed by the investigator.
    - Current or previous malignancy other than breast cancer within the last 5 years (except: in situ carcinoma of the cervix and basal carcinoma of the skin treated curatively).
    - Any serious underlying medical condition (at the judgment of the investigator) which could impair the ability of the patient to participate in the trial (e.g. active autoimmune disease, uncontrolled diabetes).
    - Refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic GI disease (e.g. inflammatory bowel disease) or significant bowel resection that preclude adequate absorption.
    - Psychiatric disorder precluding understanding of information on trial related topics, giving informed consent, or interfering with adherence for oral drug intake.
    - Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic >150 mmHg and/or diastolic >100 mmHg, measured repeatedly at more than two visits despite adequate treatment with at least two different antihypertensive drugs).
    - Clinically significant (i.e. active) cardiovascular disease: CVA/stroke or myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to registration, unstable angina, congestive heart failure [New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class ≥ III (see Appendix 4)], serious cardiac arrhythmia or AV-block >1, requiring medication during the trial and which might interfere with regularity of the trial treatment, or not controlled by medication.
    - In the presence of symptoms suggestive of cardiac impairment (i.e. dyspnea, orthopnea, paroxistic nocturne dyspnea and edema), baseline LVEF must be measured. In this case, patients with baseline LVEF < 50% are excluded.
    - Known hypersensitivity to trial drug(s) or hypersensitivity to any other component of the trial drugs.
