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   43839   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7280   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 primary objective of this study is to evaluate the progression-free survival-rate (PFSrate) at 3 months of IV Vinflunine (VFL) as Maintenance Therapy (MT) for patients with advanced or metastatic Transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium (TCCU) who achieved disease control (i.e. CR, PR or SD) after four cycles of first line standard doublet chemotherapy regimen with Gemcitabine-Cisplatin (GC).
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the current Declaration of Helsinki and was consistent with International Conference on Harmonization- Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP) and applicable regulatory requirements. The study was conducted in compliance with the protocol. The protocol, amendments, and the subject informed consent received Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee IEC) approval/favourable opinion prior to initiation of the study and/or their implementation. Freely given written informed consent was to be obtained from every subject or his or her legally acceptable representative prior to clinical trial participation, including informed consent for any screening procedures conducted to establish subject eligibility for the trial.
    Background therapy
    Standard anti-emetic prophylaxis was recommended from the first cycle, prior to each treatment administration of vinflunine IV infusion and consisted of a single oral dose of dexamethasone 8 mg or equivalent dose of methylprednisolone. Laxatives and dietary measures were recommended, starting from day 1 of each vinflunine administration to day 5. For patients considered at increased risk of serious constipation, defined as history of chronic or refractory constipation, concomitant treatment with opioids, peritoneal carcinomatosis or abdominal tumour masses, persistent symptoms under vinflunine despite the days 1 to 5 dietary measures and laxatives administration, the use of a stool softener and a stimulant was recommended to maximise efficacy.
    Evidence for comparator
    The study was a non comparative, single arm, phase II trial as it aimed at evaluating the efficacy of single agent VFL as Maintenance Therapy following standard chemotherapy regimen by Gemcitabine-cisplatin (GC) combination regimen. Vinflunine is already approved as monotherapy in second line for patients with advanced/metastatic TCCU.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Between February 17th 2012 and July 24th 2013, a total of 20 patients with advanced or metastatic TCCU were registered at 11 investigational centres in Germany, Austria and Italy. 1 patient was withdrawn from study before first drug administration, he was considered as screen failure.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Treatment with GC chemotherapy was not part of this study. Inclusion into the trial had to take place only after completion of the 4 cycles of GC treatment. Only patients who achieved a complete response (CR), a Partial response (PR) or a stable disease (SD) after the 4 cycles of GC therapy were eligible to enter into the study to receive IV VFL.

    Dosage and administration details
    Study drug administration had to start within 7 days after registration. Vinflunine was administered on Day 1, every 21 days as a 20 minute intravenous (IV) infusion. For cycle 1, the starting dose of vinflunine was defined according to calculated creatinine clearance at registration (Cockroft-Gault formula), age, ECOG PS and prior pelvic irradiation. The treatment with vinflunine as MT was to be administered until documented disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, intercurrent illness or other reaction which could require discontinuation of study drug or patient refusal. As per the VFL Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC), the recommended dose of VFL as single agent is 320 mg/m² as a 20 minute intravenous infusion every 3 weeks in patient without renal impairment (CrCl > 60 mL/mn) and 280 mg/m2 in patients with an ECOG PS of 1 or 0 with prior pelvic irradiation. In case of documented progression occurring before the first evaluation, the treatment was discontinued.

    PFS Rate at 3 months [1]
    End point description
    As exploratory analysis, the primary efficacy endpoint was analysed on the first 20 patients included before termination of the study, that is to say, on the 19 patients, representing the ITT population and on the 15 evaluable patients for response.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    The primary efficacy parameter was the PFS rate at the fixed time point of 3 months after registration into the study. The PFS Rate has been estimated using Kaplan Meier Method.
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: Due to early study termination, the analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint on the first 20 evaluable patients and on the total and required number of 70 evaluable patients for the second step Fleming design could not be performed.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Due to difficulties in recruiting patients, the decision to stop the study before the first interim analysis was taken by the sponsor in agreement with the investigators. The study population consisted of 20 patients included, of whom 19 were treated
