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
    Primary objective of the study was to estimate the efficacy of the trastuzumab/FLOT combination consisting of 5-FU/leucovorin, oxaliplatin, docetaxel and the antibody in locoregional cancer of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction, based on the rate of complete pathological responses (percentage of patients with pCR referring to the total number of enrolled and eligible patients), as evaluated centrally by a reference pathologists.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was planned, analyzed and conducted according to the study protocol and in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) ‚Guideline for Good Clinical Practice E6(R1)‘, CPMP/ICH/135/95, based on the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki (1964) and its October 1996 amendment (Somerset West, South Africa). The study was duly conducted in compliance with the German Arzneimittelgesetz (AMG; German Drug Law), and the corresponding Directive 2001/20/EC. Subjects were fully informed regarding all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time in language and terms appropriate for the subject.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Patients were enrolled between January 2012 and July 2013.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Since only patients with HER2-positive tumors were to be enrolled, 265 patients were planned to be screened. However, only 95 patients had to be acutally screened in order to enroll 58 HER2-positive patients into the main study.

    Two of the enrolled patients were excluded from the full analysis set due to major violations of in- and exclusion criteria. In one case, the finding peritoneal carcinomatosis led to the retrospective exclusion of the patient from the FAS. In the other case, exclusion from the FAS was due to the retrospective finding of insufficient HER2 positivity.

    Statistical analysis description
    A doubling of the pCR rate by HerFLOT therapy as assessed by central pathology (and assumed as amounting to 10% after chemotherapy only) was considered a positive finding. In the FAS, 12 (21.4%, 95% CI: 11.6 – 34.4) of the patients experienced a pCR. The lower border of the one-sided 90% CI (corresponding to the 10% type I error defined at the design stage) amounts to 14.4%, thus being distinctly above the pre-defined futility level of 10% pCR.
