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   43874   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7294   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 ).

    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Prior diagnosis of HCC confirmed histologically. 2. Prior treatment with standard therapy for advanced HCC, which must have included sorafenib (unless contraindicated) , with documented PD after systemic agent(s), or AEs associated with prior systemic agent(s) that resulted in discontinuance of that agent(s). Failure is defined as having progressed radiographically on, or been intolerant to prior systemic therapy. Intolerance is defined as discontinuation due to an
    AE(s) on prior systemic therapy that was unacceptable to the treating
    physician and / or patient, with or without dose interruption and
    modification. For sorafenib or any other systemic antineoplastic agent,
    failure requires at least 14 days of treatment for the agent that defines
    failure. 3. Measurable disease using RECIST 1.1 criteria (Appendix A). At least 1 measurable lesion must be present. Subjects who have received localregional therapy such as (but not limited to) chemoembolization, embolization, cryoablation, hepatic artery therapy, percutaneous ethanol injection, radiation therapy, radiofrequency ablation or surgery are eligible, provided that they have either a target lesion which has not been treated with local therapy and/or the target lesion(s) within the field of the local-regional therapy has shown an increase of ≥ 20% in size. Local-regional therapy must be completed at least 4 weeks prior to the baseline CT scan. Local therapies including chemoembolization do not count as prior systemic therapy. 4. Cirrhotic status of Child-Pugh grade A. Child-Pugh status should be determined based on clinical findings and laboratory data during the screening period (Appendix C). 5. Expected survival of at least 3 months. 6. Age ≥ 18 years. 7. No prior systemic treatment for HCC in the last 2 weeks. 8. Fully recovered from any prior surgery and none within 2 weeks of initiating treatment. 9. Female subjects of childbearing age and male subjects must be asked to use appropriate contraception for both the male and female for the duration of the study. Subjects must agree to use two forms of contraception or agree to refrain from intercourse for the duration of the study. Females must not be pregnant at the start of the study, and a serum human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) pregnancy test must be negative before entry into the study. 10.

    Un soggetto sarà ritenuto idoneo per la partecipazione allo studio se soddisferà i seguenti criteri: 1. Precedente diagnosi di HCC confermata istologicamente. 2. Precedente trattamento con terapia standard per HCC avanzato, che deve aver incluso sorafenib (salvo controindicazioni), con PD documentata dopo trattamento/i sistemico/i o AE associati a precedente/i trattamento/i sistemico/i che hanno causato l’interruzione di tale/i trattamento/i. L’insuccesso è definito come evidenza di una progressione accertata radiologicamente o come intolleranza a una precedente terapia sistemica. L’intolleranza è definita come un’interruzione dovuta a uno o più AE durante una precedente terapia sistemica che sono risultati inaccettabili per il medico curante e/o il paziente, con o senza interruzione e modificazione del dosaggio. Per sorafenib o qualsiasi altro agente antineoplastico sistemico, il fallimento richiede almeno 14 giorni di trattamento con l’agente che ha determinato il fallimento medesimo.
    3. Malattia misurabile secondo i criteri RECIST 1.1 (Appendice A). Deve essere presente almeno 1 lesione misurabile.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Overall survival will be summarized using the Kaplan-Meier method. Point estimates (25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles) along with 95% confidence intervals will be provided by treatment group. Survival estimates will also be shown graphically for each treatment group. Treatments will be compared using a stratified log-rank test (stratified by the four levels of the region – sorafenib treatment status variable).
    L’endpoint di efficacia primario è la sopravvivenza complessiva e sarà analizzato utilizzando il metodo di Kaplan-Meier. I trattamenti saranno confrontati mediante un test log-rank stratificato (stratificato in quattro gruppi utilizzando i due livelli di regione geografica [Asia e NA & Europa] e lo stato del trattamento con sorafenib [fallimento con sorafenib e fallimento senza sorafenib]).
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    OS is assessed weekly while patients are receiving treatment and then monthly thereafter.
    La sopravvivenza complessiva sarà valutata ogni settimana durante il trattamento e ogni mese al termine del trattamento.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    The secondary efficacy variables are PFS, objective response rate, duration of objective response, tumor response at each visit, time to tumor progression, disease control rate at each visit, and the occurrence of surgical resections.
    Le variabili di efficacia secondarie sono la PFS, il tasso di risposta oggettivo, la durata della risposta oggettiva, la risposta del tumore ad ogni visita, la TTP, il tasso di controllo della malattia ad ogni visita, l’occorrenza di resezioni chirurgiche e il cambiamento nel valore di AFP. Verrà determinata anche la migliore risposta globale (BOOR).
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Secondary endpoints are assessed every 8 weeks based on CT/MRI scans. Surgical resection will be assessed whenever it occurs.
    Gli endpoints secondari saranno valutati ogni 8 settimane sulla base degli esami CT/MRI. La resezione chirurgica sarà valutata all'occorrenza.
