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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    This study was designed to evaluate the effect of Herceptin (trastuzumab) administered at a loading dose of 8 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) followed by 6 mg/kg every three weeks (q3w) as standard of care versus a loading dose of Herceptin at 8 mg/kg followed by 10 mg/kg along with cisplatin and capecitabine, to test whether it produced higher trastuzumab exposure and might have resulted in improved survival duration.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the “Declaration of Helsinki” and Good Clinical Practice (GCP).

In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum was also required to demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 millimeters (mm).

    		 Percentage of Participants With Objective Response - PPS
    End point description
    Objective response was defined as the occurrence of either a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined by RECIST Version 1.1 based on investigator assessment. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) were required to have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR was defined as a ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the Baseline sum diameters. The 95% CI was constructed using Blyth-Still-Casella method.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    02 Aug 2011
    - Clarified the instructions for collection of pharmacokinetic samples for serial measurements of trastuzumab concentrations in case of dose delay of Herceptin. - Revised actions and maximum hold times for study drug administration for non-hematological Grade 3 and Grade 4 (excluding cardiac) and hematological toxicities (neutropenia) that were not specifically attributable to one component of study treatment but related to study treatment. - Clarified instructions for the reloading dose of Herceptin in case of delayed dose beyond 7 days for the higher dose Herceptin (8 mg/kg loading dose followed by 10 mg/kg q3w) and the standard of care dose Herceptin (8 mg/kg loading dose followed by 6 mg/kg q3w) treatment arms. - Provided revised guidance for dose modifications and timeframe of dose delay due to hematological toxicity attributable to capecitabine or cisplatin and revised platelet count threshold for assessment of need for dose modification or delay of capecitabine and/or cisplatin.
    06 Aug 2013
    - Provided clarification and updated instructions to Protocol B for the pharmacokinetic sampling schedule in case of delay of Herceptin administration. - The cardiac safety follow-up timeline was extended from 6 to 24 months. - An inclusion criterion (lung or liver plus at least one other organ in addition to the primary tumor must be involved by metastatic gastric tumor) was clarified by specifying the acceptability of metastases in other locations such as distant lymph node, peritoneum, and malignant pleural effusion as a second site of metastasis. - Updated exclusion criterion to add basal cell carcinoma of the skin within the last five years prior to enrollment was an allowed malignancy. Reporting instructions for abnormal liver function tests were included to address the identification/reporting of potential drug-induced liver injury (DILI). - Extracellular domain (ECD) analyses were included in Cycles 2 to 5 of the main study in order to ensure that a sufficient number of data were collected for the second pharmacokinetic interim analysis in order to fully understand the distribution of the shed ECD concentrations in participants with metastatic gastric cancer (MGC), and to enable an accurate assessment of whether the increase in HER2 ECD levels would have an impact on serum trastuzumab pharmacokinetics. These analyses were incorporated into the protocol to support the EMA issued Follow-Up Measure (FUM 70.1, 70.2, and 70.3) for the MGC filing in Europe (Type II Variation on EME/HC/000278/II/47).

    Interruptions (globally)
