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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 ).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    This was a randomized open-label, multi-center Phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of single agent trametinib compared with chemotherapy (CT) (dacarbazine or paclitaxel). Participants (par.) were enrolled by 86 sites in 19 countries from December 2010 to July 2011. Results as of 16 December 2016 data-cut have been presented.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Participants (par.) were stratified for lactate dehydrogenase and prior CT for advanced or metastatic disease. 1059 par. were screened and 322 were enrolled to receive trametinib (214 par.) or CT (108 par.) until disease progression, death, or withdrawal. Par. randomized to CT were allowed to cross-over to trametinib if disease progressed.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: 70 of the 108 participants randomized to chemotherapy in randomization period elected to cross-over to Trametinib and were included in cross-over period.

    Progression-free survival in BRAF V600E mutation-positive participants without a history of brain metastases as assessed by the Investigator and Independent Review
    End point description
    Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented occurrence of disease progression (PD) or death. PFS for investigator-assessed and blinded, independent, central review committee (BRIC)-assessed responses was summarized per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), Version 1.1, which is a set of published rules defining when cancer participants improve (respond), stay the same (stabilize), or worsen (progress) during treatment. Disease progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions with an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeters (mm) or the appearance of at least 1 new lesion, or the worsening of non-target lesions significant enough to require study treatment discontinuation. Primary Efficacy Population included all participants with BRAF V600E mutation-positive melanoma without a history of brain metastases.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    18 Oct 2010
    Amendment 01: 1. Corrected the European Clinical Trials Database (Eudra-CT) number. 2. Changed primary endpoint to progression free survival and added crossover to GSK1120212 after progression on the chemotherapy arm based on feedback from the European Medicines Agency (EMEA). 3. After considering the standard of ophthalmological practice across different countries and after consultation with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) ophthalmologist, GSK recommends the following changes to the ophthalmological guidelines: - Removal of perimetry from ophthalmologic exclusion criteria. Assessment of visual field defects can be done either by automated or confrontational method as per the local standard of care. - Changed requirement for color fundus photos and retinal specialist consultation such that they are recommended if available, but not mandated. Fundus photos were meant to help diagnose any changes to the retina, however adequate documentation of baseline fundus exam would also provide the same information and is the standard ophthalmological practice in a number of countries. - In par. with clinical suspicion of Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) or Central serous retinopathy (CSR), it is recommended that diagnostic studies be completed that are the standard of care in that particular country and may include color fundus photos, fluorescein angiography and/or optical coherence tomography. The studies could be done by an experienced general ophthalmologist or by a retinal specialist. 4. Changed Inclusion Criteria to allow prior treatment with ipilumimab in the adjuvant setting to expand participant population. 5. Changed exclusion to allow par. with prior brain metastases that meet specific criteria to expand participant population. 6. Removed Day 1 Cycle 3 blank column from Time and Events Table and updated several footnotes based on above changes.7. Added crossover study extension Time and Events table 8. Corrected minor administrative and typographical errors.
    02 May 2011
    Amendment 02: Updated contact information. Changed eligibility criteria (EC) to indicate that par. having received one prior chemotherapy regimen in the advanced/metastatic setting must have had documented progression prior to randomization. Clarified EC to allow use of low molecular weight heparin; par. with second malignancies that are indolent or definitively treated to indicate that they must be disease free for at least 3 years; par. with brain metastases to indicate that prior whole brain radiotherapy is not allowed and confirmation of stable and/or no evidence of disease is required prior to randomization; cardiac history to indicate that the time frame of ‘6 months prior to randomization’ applies to all conditions listed in that criterion. Updated crossover eligibility to allow par. who discontinue from chemotherapy arm of the study for a reason other than disease progression, but who do not receive any further anticancer treatment and eventually have documented disease progression to be eligible for crossover to GSK1120212. Clarified dosing instructions and related process. Corrected laboratory values in dose modification instructions for chemotherapy treatment arm. Clarified requirements for submission or Echocardiogram/ Multi-gated acquisition scan (ECHO/MUGA) to the central imaging vendor. Added concomitant palliative radiotherapy to Prohibited Medications Section. Removed allowance for sending tissue for BRAF mutation testing up to 6 months prior to randomization. Changed direct fundoscopy to an optional assessment within the required ophthalmic examination at screening. Changed required duration of adequate contraception usage by women of childbearing potential to 16 weeks after discontinuation of study medication. Changed tumor tissue requirements for BRAF mutation testing to indicate that tissue from the current state of disease is preferred, but tissue from primary site is also acceptable. Corrected minor administrative and typographical errors.
    03 Oct 2011
    Amendment 03: Data from the Phase II study (MEK113583) study with GSK1120212 in V600 mutation positive melanoma par. previously treated with chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy were presented by Dr. Lewis (University of Colorado) at Perspectives in Melanoma meeting on September 16, 2011. These phase 2 data confirm that the 2 mg QD dose of GSK1120212 is well tolerated, has clinical activity in previously treated BRAF-mutant metastatic melanoma par., and suggest that the subset of V600E mutation-positive par. with no history of prior brain metastases has a better median PFS compared to the overall study population. Rationale for Change: Due to these phase II data, the population for the primary analysis of MEK114267 is being changed to only those par. with a BRAF V600E mutational status without a history of prior brain metastases. This change will ensure that the study focuses on the population most likely to benefit from GSK1120212. As it is still important to understand the effect of GSK1120212 in par. with BRAF V600K mutations, the secondary endpoints evaluating this population remain. Due to the limited number of par. with a prior history of brain metastases, secondary endpoints evaluating this population are not planned; however analyses including and excluding par. with a prior history of brain metastases will be explored This change to the primary endpoint is being made prior to Data Base Freeze to conduct the primary endpoint analysis of progression free survival.
    27 Jan 2012
    Amendment 04: Dear Investigator Letter was issued 09 January 2012 which stated that emerging data suggests that par. treated with GSK1120212 may develop hypertension or have worsening control of pre-existing hypertension. As a result, hypertension monitoring and management guidelines are being incorporated into all ongoing studies with GSK1120212.
    16 Feb 2012
    Amendment 05: The planned primary analysis was completed on 27 January 2012 and reviewed by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) that comprised medical oncology experts and a statistician. The IDMC unanimously recommended to allow immediate crossover of any par. enrolled and treated on the chemotherapy arm to GSK1120212 (trametinib). This recommendation is based upon a clinically meaningful, statistically significant improvement in the primary endpoint of progression free survival (PFS) in the trametinib arm versus chemotherapy arm. The safety profile of GSK1120212 is consistent to what has been observed in prior studies.
    10 Sep 2012
    Amendment 06: There is a change from the older Parma supplies (white 0.5 mg tablets) with product codes BQ (0.5 mg), BR (1 mg), BS (2 mg) to the newer Parma supplies with commercial image (non-debossed) tablets with product codes CL/CT (0.5 mg), CM/CS (2 mg) product codes for upcoming resupplies. The investigational product description must be updated to properly describe the new supply.
    16 Jan 2014
    Amendment 07: 1. Updated study objectives to include secondary efficacy objective of long-term overall survival. 2. Updated definition of study completion throughout to allow for collection of long-term survival data. 3. Removed option to transition to rollover study after study completion. 4. Updated withholding criteria for visual changes. 5. Updated QTc stopping criteria. 6. Updated visit schedule. 7. Minor administrative changes and typographical corrections throughout.
