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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.

    Full title: A pharmacokinetic substudy in association with the phase III, randomized, multicenter, doubleblind, placebo-controlled trial APHINITY (BIG 4-11/BO25126/TOC4939G) to evaluate pharmacokinetics and potential drug-drug interactions in patients with early breast cancer.
    Protocol identifiers: BIG 4-11 / BO25126 / TOC4939G (PK substudy
    1)
    Protocol date: 2011-06-20
    Please refer to the substudy protocol for further information.
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    - Adult patients. >/= 18 years of age
    - Non-metastatic primary invasive HER2-positive carcinoma of the breast that is adequately excised, and that is either node-positive (except T0), or node-negative but with presence of at least one risk factor as defined by the protocol (the latter option only applies to protocol version A. Node-negative patients are NOT allowable under protocol version B.)
    - Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status </=1
    - The interval between definitive surgery for breast cancer and the first dose of chemotherapy must be no more than 8 weeks (56 days). All procedures, including randomization, must occur during this period. The first cycle of chemotherapy must be administered within 7 days of randomization or on Day 56, whichever occurs first.
    - Known hormone receptor status (estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor)
    - Baseline LVEF >/= 55%
    - Women of childbearing potential and male participants with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception (as defined by the protocol) by the patient and/or partner for the duration of the study treatment and for at least 7 months after the last dose of study drug
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    - History of any prior (ipsi- and/or contralateral) invasive breast cancer
    - History of non-breast malignancies within the 5 years prior to study entry, except for carcinoma in situ of the cervix, carcinoma in situ of the
    colon, melanoma in situ, and basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin
    - Any "clinical" T4 tumor as defined by TNM, including inflammatory
    breast cancer
    - Any previous systemic chemotherapy for cancer or radiotherapy for cancer
    - Prior use of anti-HER2 therapy for any reason or other prior biologic or immunotherapy for cancer
    - Concurrent anti-cancer treatment in another investigational trial
    - Serious cardiac or cardiovascular disease or condition
    - Pregnant or lactating women
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoint of the trial is Invasive Disease-Free Survival (IDFS). It is a composite endpoint which is defined as the time from randomization until the date of the first occurrence of one of the following events:
    • Ipsilateral invasive breast tumor recurrence (ie, an invasive breast cancer involving the same breast parenchyma as the original primary lesion);
    • Ipsilateral local-regional invasive breast cancer recurrence (ie, an invasive breast cancer in the axilla, regional lymph nodes, chest wall and/or skin of the ipsilateral breast);
    • Distant recurrence (ie, evidence of breast cancer in any anatomic site – other than the two abovementioned sites – that has either been histologically confirmed or clinically diagnosed as recurrent invasive breast cancer);
    • Contralateral invasive breast cancer;
    • Death attributable to any cause including breast cancer, non-breast cancer or unknown cause (but cause of death should be specified if at all possible).
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The final analysis will take place when approximately 379 IDFS events have occurred.
    In order to ensure sufficient data maturity (particularly in patients enrolled after the protocol amendment B), in the event that 379 IDFS events are reached sooner than 30 months after last patient enrolled (as is anticipated based on the revised IDFS assumptions), the primary analysis will be delayed until 30 months after last patient randomized.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    The secondary efficacy endpoints of the present trial include OS (overall survival), DFS (disease-free survival), IDFS (invasive disease-free survival) including second primary non-breast cancer, RFI (recurrence-free interval) and DRFI (distant recurrence-free interval).
    Additionally, cardiac and overall safety, as well as quality of life will be evaluated.
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Secondary variables will be analyzed in a similar manner as the primary endpoint to compare the two treatment arms, estimate 3-year event rates (5-year event rates for OS). An event driven OS analysis is planned when 640 deaths have occurred, estimated to be around nine and a half years after last patient randomized. Assuming the primary analysis for IDFS occurs after 379 events then the first interim OS analysis will be made available at this time (estimated to be 4 to 5 years after the first patient is randomized). Two subsequent interim analyses of OS will be performed approximately 2.5 and 5 years later, with the final event-driven OS analysis defined above.

    Patients will remain in follow up for ca. 15 yrs. after last patient is randomized or until death occurs. They should receive additional endocrine anticancer therapy if the tumor is shown to be hormone receptor positive (in accordance with the locally approved SmPC and nationally recognized guidelines). Disease-free patients will not require any specific additional anti cancer therapy.
    Patients with recurrent disease should be treated at the discretion of the investigator.
