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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 investigate the effect of lapatinib plus capecitabine compared with trastuzumab plus capecitabine on time to progression of central nervous system (CNS) metastases as measured by RECIST.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Inclusion/Exclusion: Eligibility criteria were designed with patient safety as a primary concern and therefore no one is unfairly excluded from or included in the trial. Consent: Patients will be provided with written information about the trial and verbal information from a member of the local research team. Informed consent will be taken by an authorised clinically and GCP trained member of staff who will ensure that the person understands the purpose and nature of the study and what it involves, the benefits, risks and burdens and the alternative treatments available. They will also ensure the patient is able to retain the information long enough to make an effective decision with free choice. Risk burdens and benefits: Patients will be exposed to some additional risks. Patients have a risk of drug toxicity with both treatment arms. Patients will also undergo MRI scans. Additional hospital visits for treatment, clinical review and investigations could inconvenience patients. Benefit of inclusion include potential clinical response with either treatment arm. The LANTERN trial will add to the evidence base for treatment options in this group and may lead to a phase III trial. Confidentiality: All information collected during the course of the trial will be kept strictly confidential. Information will be held securely on paper and electronically at the Clinical Trials Research Unit (CTRU). The CTRU will comply with all aspects of the 1998 Data Protection Act.

    End point title
    CNS progression-free survival
    End point description
    Time to progression of CNS metastases was defined as time from randomisation to the date of progression confirmed by: • Cranial MRI scans (RECIST v1.1) • Local standard clinical practice where an MRI scans was not performed (i.e. clinical/other radiological evidence) Participants missing follow-up data, or alive and CNS progression free at the time of analysis, were censored at the date last known to be alive and progression-free. Participants with disease progression confirmed during their 24 week follow up assessment whose assessment fell outside of the 2 week window were included as having disease progression on their assessment date. Participants still receiving treatment following the final 24 week assessment, for whom it was subsequently reported that they discontinued treatment due to CNS disease progression (after the 24 week assessment) were censored at the last date they were known to be alive and CNS progression-free (date of 24 week assessment).

    Statistical analysis description
    Analyses, unless otherwise stated, were based upon summary and descriptive statistics only. Survival curves for CNS progression-free survival were calculated using the Kaplan Meier method and an unadjusted analysis was conducted using a two-sided log-rank test to assess the difference between the treatment arms.

    Notes
    [1] - CNS disease progression was reported in 14 (46.7%) participants during their 24 week trial follow up period: 8 (50%) lapatinib plus capecitabine participants and 6 (42.9%) trastuzumab plus capecitabine participants. Accounting for participants censored before and after 24 weeks, the Kaplan Meier estimate of CNS progression-free survival at 24 weeks was 58.2% (95% CI: 32.5%, 83.9%) in the lapatinib plus capecitabine arm and 58.8% (95% CI: 30.4%, 87.2%) in the trastuzumab plus capecitabine arm.
    [2] - The number of randomised participants was insufficient to detect any meaningful differences in time to disease progression between participants in the arms.

    Adverse events

    Adverse events information [1]
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    All AEs, evaluated according to NCI-CTCAE v4.0m were collected 3 weekly during trial treatment up to 24weeks. SAEs were reported from randomisation to 30 days after the 24 week clinical review visit.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    The SAE active monitoring period is from randomised to 30 days after the 24 week clinical review visit. If a participant continues to receive trial treatment after the 24 week clinical review visit, SARS and SUSARs are reported until the end of trial.

    Frequency threshold for reporting non-serious adverse events: 0%
    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: See attached End of Trial Report submitted to the MHRA in April 2015 for details of adverse events. Leeds Institute of Clinical Trials Research is an academic trials unit where full MedDRA coding is not the standard. It has therefore not been possible for adverse event data to be accurately entered into the full data view within EudraCT as all mandatory categories cannot be completed.

    Addition of PK sampling sub-study Correction to consent form statements
    19 May 2011
    Addition of PK sampling sub-study Amendment to eligibility criteria to include amiodarone as an inclusion criteria and removal of this drug from concomitant therapy section. Update to exclusion criteria to clarify prior treatment with capecitabine in the metastaic setting is an exclusion criteria Update to permitted dose modifications of lapatinin cececitabine following discussions with LANTERN investigators Removal of requirement for as assessment of disease progression at 3 weekly treatment visits to clarify this is only necessary at 12 & 24 weeks post randomisation follow up visits.
    16 Aug 2011
    Amendment to eligibility criteria to amend the definition of normal organ and bone marrow function and to remove this from the exclusion criteria. Clarification of pre-treatment investigations, concomitant therapy and dosing and frequency of treatment in section 9 of the protocol. Amendment to instructions for lapatinib and capecitabine dose modifications following adverse events Update to schedule of events to remove laboratory investigations.
    08 Feb 2012
    Update to PIS/protocol to include a statement that if informed consent is obtained from the participant and the participant subsequently becomes unable to provide on-going informed consent by virtue of physical or mental incapacity, the consent previously given when capable remains legally valid. Participants who lose capacity after informed consent has been obtained will continue with protocol treatment and assessments in consultation with the Principal Investigator and participants care/ family with the participants best interests foremost in the decision making process. On going collection of safety and follow up data will continue via clinical care team for inclusion in the trial analysis in order to preserve the integrity of the trials intention to treat analysis and fulfil regulatory requirements specifically for pharmacovigilance purposes.
    28 Mar 2013
    The timeframe for trastuzumab treatment was expanded from current only, to current, or prior (in the adjuvant or metastatic setting) treatment. The requirement for patients to have developed brain metastases whilst on trastuzumab treatment was also been removed. Eligibility criteria was expanded to include not only newly diagnosed brain metastases, but also progression of CNS metastases within the last 12 months. Clarified SARs / SUSARs will continue to be reported after 24 weeks for patients still on trial treatment. SAE collection to start from randomisation not registration. Pregnancies will be followed up until outcome is known. A number of new stratification factors added such as: •Type of local therapy (this has been expanded to include both types of therapy) •Timeframe of trastuzumab treatment and which setting (metastatic / adjuvant or both) •Timeframe of diagnosis of brain metastases / progression of brain metastases Treatment allocation section updated to reflect change of randomisation from stratified permuted block randomisation to minimisation. Update to Trastuzumab preparation & IMP Formulation and Storage. Some trial sites store reconstituted trastuzmab out of line with the SPC. Trastuzumab dose section updated to state that dose banding is permitted. Clarified guidance to be followed if a loading dose is required. Updated to state that in the case of a treatment delay future treatment is at the investigation of the investigator Trastuzumab dose section updated to state that dose banding is permitted. Clarified guidance to be followed if a loading dose is required. Updated to state that in the case of a treatment delay future treatment is at the investigation of the investigator. Redefined end of trial as 30 days after 24 week clinical rereview or 30 days after last lapatinib trial treatment administered (whichever date is later)
