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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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
    The objectives were to investigate the efficacy and safety of Afatinib alone and Afatinib in combination with weekly Vinorelbine upon progression on Afatinib monotherapy in patients with HER2-overexpressing inflammatory breast cancer (IBC).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were entered in the study. All subjects were free to withdraw from the clinical trial at any time for any reason given. If a subject continued to take trial medication, close monitoring was adhered to and all adverse events recorded. Rules were implemented whereby doses would be reduced if required. In case of treatment-related AEs, the 40 mg dose could be reduced by increments of 10 mg to 30 mg once daily or 20 mg once daily. Thereafter, if further events were reported which required dose reductions, the subject would be withdrawn from the trial. Symptomatic treatment of tumour associated symptoms were allowed throughout.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    This was an open-label single arm study conducted in two sequential parts (Part A in which patients were treated with Afatinib (BIBW 2992) as Monotherapy; Part B in which patients were treated with Afatinib plus Vinorelbine as combination therapy). Patients continued from Part A to Part B upon progression of disease in Part A.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    All subjects were screened for eligibility to participate in the trial. Subjects attended specialist sites which would then ensure that they (the subjects) met all strictly implemented inclusion/exclusion criteria. Subjects were not allocated to trial treatment if any one of the specific entry criteria were violated.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Baseline characteristics are based on patients who were randomised after successfully completing the screening period and received at least one of the trial medication.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    18 Oct 2012
    This amendment introduced a number of minor clarifications or updates of study procedures, administrative changes (such as updating the address of the coordinating investigator and including a citation for recently published data in place of previously unpublished data), and corrections to ensure consistency between the synopsis and the main text of the protocol and between different sections of the protocol. Changes to study procedures included the following: 1. A fresh tissue biopsy could be taken up to 2 days before C1V1. 2. No ECG was required at Day 15 of Course 1 in Part B. 3. Dispensing of trial medication was not required at the EOT visit in Part B. 4. It was clarified that patients having a short course palliative radiotherapy had to have a tumour assessment within 14 days of the first dose of Vinorelbine. 5. A statement on risk of keratitis and ulcerative keratitis was added since the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has requested a class labelling following treatment with currently approved EGFR inhibitors for cancer. 6. Exclusion criterion no. 7 was clarified: bilateral primary breast cancer, metastases to the contralateral breast. 7. Exclusion criterion no. 14 and the text of the CTP regarding dose adjustments with Vinorelbine was updated to be consistent with a newly released SmPC for Vinorelbine. 8. Exclusion criterion no. 17 was amended to allow higher values of ALT/AST (changed from 2.5 to 3 x ULN). 9. Exclusion criterion no. 26 was clarified to indicate that Trastuzumab failure patients had to have received Trastuzumab. 10. The time between first and second dose of afatinib could be less than 24 h. 11. The type of MRI to be used to assess brain lesions was updated. 12. The reporting of the worsening of underlying disease or other pre-existing conditions, and the change in vital signs, ECG, physical examination and laboratory tests results was amended as requested by regulatory authorities.
    01 Jul 2013
    This amendment introduced major changes to the study design. The reasons for the changes were slow recruitment of Trastuzumab-failure patients into Part A of the study (7 in total at 17 Jun 2013) plus a change in the benefit/risk of the combination of Afatinib and Vinorelbine (experimental arm). For BI trial 1200.75, an independent DMC conducted a benefit risk analysis when over half of the planned number of patients had been enrolled. The PFS analysis showed a low likelihood of the 1200.75 study meeting the pre-defined criteria for increased efficacy combined with an increased rate of treatment discontinuation and dose reduction and a higher rate of SAEs and deaths in the Afatinib and Vinorelbine arm of the study. The DMC recommended discontinuing recruitment into the 1200.75 trial. Boehringer Ingelheim decided to stop further randomisation into trial 1200.75 and to discontinue further treatment with the combination of Afatinib and Vinorelbine as of 26 Apr 2013. Boehringer Ingelheim decided as a precautionary measure, to stop the inclusion of new patients into Part B of the present study on 03 May 2013. Also, any patients in screening for Part B at that date were not permitted to start treatment. Due to the slow recruitment, it was also decided to stop further inclusion of patients into Part A. In addition, it was clarified that tumour assessments were to be performed in Part B every 8 weeks from the first dose of Vinorelbine. Also, precautionary information added regarding ILD (in line with the standard wording in other Afatinib trials) and keratitis (at the request of the French Health Authority for all Afatinib trials).
    10 Apr 2014
    After the introduction of protocol amendment 2 recruitment for trial 1200.89 was ceased before it was fully completed. Therefore when protocol amendment 3 was implemented, there were only a few patients still receiving trial medication. Rather than perform the primary analysis and update it shortly thereafter, it was considered better to wait until most or all patients had progressed or started further treatment. No changes were made to the analysis only to the timing. To allow flexibility as to when the primary analysis was to be performed, the sentence regarding timing was updated. Additionally, collection of Observation Period data was no longer considered necessary. Patients still benefiting from treatment were to continue to receive trial medication. However, once they ceased trial medication they were to complete their study participation at the time of their last follow-up visit and did not enter the observation period.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) decided to stop further inclusion of patients and stop further treatment with the combination of Afatinib and Vinorelbine as of 03-May-2013. Recruitment into the trial was stopped by amendment in Jul 2013.
