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   43841   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7281   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 ).

    Percentage of Subjects with Disease Progression or Death at 12 Months After Baseline [1]
    End point description
    According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1), progressive disease (PD) was defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the longest diameter recorded since treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions. For non-target lesions, PD was defined as the appearance of 1 or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Intent to treat (ITT) population included all subjects enrolled in the study who received at least one dose of treatment.

    Tumour response assessed to RECIST v1.1. Complete response(CR): complete disappearance of all target lesions & non-target disease, with exception of nodal disease. All nodes must decrease to normal (short axis<10 mm), and no new lesions. Partial response(PR): greater than or equal to (>=) 30% decrease under baseline of sum of diameters of all target lesions. The short axis was used in sum for target nodes, while longest diameter was used in sum for all other target lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-target disease, and no new lesions. PD: >=20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference smallest sum of longest diameter recorded since treatment started or appearance of 1 or more new lesions. For non-target lesions, appearance of 1 or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Stable disease(SD): not qualifying for CR, PR, or PD.

    Objective response: percentage of subjects with CR or PR as best overall response by RECIST v1.1. Status of PR or CR was assigned if changes in tumour measurements were confirmed by repeated assessments no less than 4 weeks after criteria for response were first met. CR: complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease, with exception of nodal disease. All nodes, both target and non-target, must decrease to normal (short axis less than 10 mm), with no new lesions. PR was defined as >=30% decrease under baseline of sum of diameters of all target lesions. Short axis was used in sum for target nodes, while longest diameter was used in sum for all other target lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-target disease, and no new lesions.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    28 Jan 2013
    Amendment 1 introduced a descriptive, interim analysis of clinical characteristics at baseline including the EGFR mutation test results obtained from basal tumor biopsies, from circulating tumor cells and plasma DNA and by immunohistochemical detection. Moreover, a descriptive analysis was performed on data collected up to January 2013 concerning data on demographics, disease history, treatment dose and duration, the incidence of rash, EGFR mutation test, results from both local and central laboratory, at baseline and at progression, stratifying patients according to their undergoing disease progression or not at the date of the analysis. No change in the experimental design was foreseen based on the analysis results. Since no model analyses on primary or secondary end-points were performed, no correction of the overall alpha level was applied.
    08 Jul 2013
    Amendment 2 ensured that patients who did not have progressive disease at the end of the study were able to continue to receive the study drug. For these patients, the protocol called for a reduction of dosage to 50 mg. Since the 25 mg dose is not commercialized in Italy, Roche provided the study drug until progression, unacceptable toxicity or consent withdrawal. No further data was to be captured for these patients. Nevertheless, adverse events (SAEs) continued to be collected and were reported as outlined in the study protocol.
