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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.

    Best Overall Response Rate (BORR) Within Brain of Previously Untreated Subjects (Assessed by Independent Review Committee [IRC] Using Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST]) [1] [2]
    End point description
    BORR assessed by IRC is defined as percentage of subjects who were responders (with best overall response (BOR) documented as confirmed complete response [CR] or partial response [PR]). The RECIST v1.1 criteria modified for independent review of body and brain lesions was based on current radiology practices. The modifications to RECIST v1.1 included allowing target lesions in brain to be >=5 mm by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging scan (RECIST v1.1 this is >=10 mm), allowing up to 5 target lesions in brain (RECIST v1.1 only 2 target lesions), and examining lesions within brain and outside the brain separately for analytical purposes. CR: disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm, PR: At least a 30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum diameters. The intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all subjects who were enrolled in study.

PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The ITT population included all subjects who were enrolled in the study.

    Cohort 1: Previously Untreated Subjects
    Reporting group description
    Subjects who had not received previous treatment for brain metastases [i.e., had never received brain stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT), whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT), surgery, or any other treatment for their brain metastases] received Vemurafenib 960 milligram (mg) tablet orally, twice daily (BID) from Day 1 until development of progressive disease within the brain or outside of the brain (whichever occurred first), unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, protocol violation endangering subject's safety, death, reasons deemed by the investigator, or study termination by the Sponsor.

    Reporting group title
    Cohort 2: Previously Treated Subjects
    Reporting group description
    Subjects who were previously treated with brain SRT, WBRT, or surgery for their brain metastases and have progressed following this treatment, received Vemurafenib 960 milligram (mg) tablet orally, BID from Day 1 until development of progressive disease within the brain or outside of the brain (whichever occurred first), unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, protocol violation endangering subject's safety, death, reasons deemed by the investigator, or study termination by the Sponsor.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    23 Feb 2012
    • The start-of-screening date was taken as date on which first archival tumor tissue sample was sent (collected by courier) to the central testing laboratory for BRAF mutation testing EXCEPT when a study procedure is performed prior to sending tumor sample to laboratory (e.g., if a new tumor biopsy sample must be taken from subject). • Monitoring of any possible additional cancerous growths and determination of their type(s) was added to the study procedures during the screening period, treatment period, treatment discontinuation, and follow-up visit. The ICF also was updated with this information. • A clarification was added denoting that only a protocol violation that endangers subject safety will mandate discontinuation of study treatment. • An additional subgroup analysis within previously treated cohort for subjects with leptomeningeal involvement versus subjects with no leptomeningeal involvement in the previously treated cohort was planned. • Exclusion criterion 5 was changed to align with ongoing vemurafenib studies and based on recommendation from the Steering Committee. • The follow-up of chest CT for evaluation of non-cuSCC was conservatively increased from 3 to 6 months. • A statement was added to clarify that cuSCC should be reported as an SAE instead of an AE of special interest to ensure its reporting to the Health Authorities in an appropriate and timely manner. • A statement was added that available biopsies from all suspicious lesions should be sent to the study-designated central pathology laboratory to ensure available specimen blocks from any suspicious lesions (including keratoacanthoma/cuSCC or new primary melanoma) are sent to a designated central pathology laboratory for the confirmation of diagnosis. • A clarification on safety reporting due to progression of the underlying malignancy was added, stating that, “An SAE with outcome death solely due to progression of the underlying malignancy does not need to be reported as an SAE".
