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 ).

    Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)/Recommended Dose [1]
    End point description
    The MTD was defined as the dose level at which six evaluable subjects had been treated and at most one subject experienced a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and the next highest dose level was too toxic. Dose escalation occurred if 0 out of 3 or at most 1 out of 6 subject experienced DLT while being treated at a dose level; otherwise the dose was declared unsafe and thus above the MTD.

    Best Overall Response Rate (BORR)
    End point description
    BORR was assessed by the investigators according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. BORR was defined as the number of subjects who achieved a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease. PR was defined as a >=30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target lesions. BORR was summarized along with the associated exact 95% confidence interval (CI) using the method of Clopper–Pearson. Intent to treat population included all subjects enrolled.

    CBR was defined as the number of subjects that achieved a CR, PR or stable disease (SD) (SD for at least 6 weeks) as assessed by investigators according to the RECIST v1.1. CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease. PR was defined as a >=30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target lesions. SD was defined as steady state of disease with neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD). CBR was summarized along with the associated exact 95% CI using the method of Clopper–Pearson. Intent to treat population included all subjects enrolled.

    Progression-free Survival (PFS)
    End point description
    PFS was defined as the time between the day of first treatment and the first documentation of progressive disease or death. Progression was defined as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, the appearance of new lesions and increase of at least 5 mm in the sum of diameters of target lesions. Subjects who were withdrawn from the study without documented progression were to be censored at the date of the last known tumor assessment when the subject was known to be progression free. Median PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and 95% CI for median was computed using the Brookmeyer and Crowley method. Intent to treat population included all subjects enrolled.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    12 Apr 2013
    1.The following text was added to Dose Escalation and Extension Phases for the Smaller Subject Cohort (Subjects Weighing <45 kg) "If the MTD can be determined for subjects weighing <45 kg, then these subjects may be enrolled in the extension phase at the recommended dose. If the MTD is the same for subjects weighing <45 kg as for those weighing >=45 kg, then subjects weighing <45 kg and enrolled in the extension phase will count as part of the 20 subjects required for extension phase accrual and analysis.” 2.The squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) risk management plan to monitor for the occurrence of new primary melanoma and both cutaneous and non-cutaneous SCCs was updated. The appropriate sections of the protocol were revised to reflect this change. 3.The text was revised to state that an electrocardiogram (ECG) was required at the treatment completion visit. This had been inadvertently omitted in the original protocol and was changed to align with the Paediatric Investigation Plan (PIP). 4.The text was revised to state that tissue samples of any new primary melanoma or SCC (cutaneous and non cutaneous) were to be submitted to a central pathology laboratory to undergo molecular characterization. 5.The definitions of adverse event of special interest (AESIs) were revised to align with the vemurafenib program. The list of AESIs was changed to: a) Grade >=3 phototoxicity b) Grade >=3 QTc prolongation c) Grade >=4 elevations of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and bilirubin d) SCC (cutaneous and non-cutaneous including keratoacanthoma [KA]) e) New primary melanoma f) Non-SCC/KA suspicious skin lesions 6.Definition of Women of Childbearing Potential and Acceptable and Unacceptable Forms of Contraception was revised to shorten from 12 months to 6 months the period that women of childbearing potential were required to use 2 forms of acceptable contraception following discontinuation of vemurafenib.
    13 Sep 2013
    1.The definitions of AESIs were revised as follows: a) ”A new primary invasive malignancy (other than cuSCC or new primary melanoma) or progression or recurrence of a prior invasive malignancy (other than the disease under study)” was added. b) ”Grade >=3 phototoxicity” was deleted. c) ”Non-SCC/KA suspicious skin lesions” was deleted. 2.Additional Assessments for SCC risk management plan [Treating Physician]) was clarified that chest CT scans that were required following study drug discontinuation needed to be obtained only up to 6 months after study drug discontinuation.
    11 Mar 2014
    1.The purpose of the amendment was to update the safety information in the Introduction section of the protocol, and to make other minor changes to improve clarity and consistency.
