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   43881   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7295   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
    To evaluate the antitumor activity of PM01183 in patients with platinum-resistant / refractory advanced ovarian cancer.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki (as approved by the 59th World Medical Association General Assembly, held at Seoul in 2008) and was consistent with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and applicable regulatory requirements. Study personnel involved in conducting this trial was qualified by education, training, and experience to perform their respective task(s). The Sponsor provided insurance or indemnity in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements.
    Background therapy
    Patients were to receive standard antiemetic prophylaxis according to American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) guidelines before each treatment administration: • Corticosteroids (dexamethasone i.v. or equivalent, at institutional standard antiemetic doses). • Serotonin (5-HT3) antagonists (ondansetron 8 mg i.v. or equivalent). If necessary, in addition to the above, 10 mg of metoclopramide every eight hours could be administered orally or the duration of treatment with 5-HT3 antagonists and/or dexamethasone could be extended (according to Investigator criteria). Additional antiemetics could be used after Cycle 1 upon agreement with the Sponsor.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Eighty-one patients were enrolled between 19 December 2011 and 22 March 2013 at nine study centers (France and Spain). There were 52 patients treated with PM01183 in the Experimental Arm: 22 in an unrandomized first stage; 30 in the randomized second stage. Twenty-nine patients were randomized to topotecan in the second stage Control Arm

    -First stage: 18 evaluable patients were to be given PM01183 to explore the activity of PM01183. If the minimum threshold of antitumor activity was met (at least two of the 18 patients with confirmed tumor responses) - Second stage: 60 evaluable patients were to be randomized (stratified according to platinum-resistance or refractoriness), 30 per arm, to an PM01183 Arm or to a Control Arm (Topotecan). Patients discontinuing topotecan could be considered for crossover to PM01183 treatment.

    Arm description
    There were 52 patients treated with PM01183 in the Experimental Arm: 22 in an unrandomized first stage; 30 in the randomized second stage. All patients in this arm received PM01183 7.0 mg FD on Day 1 i.v. as a 1-h infusion q3wk (three weeks = one treatment cycle).

    Dosage and administration details
    PM01183 was supplied as a lyophilized powder for concentrate for solution for infusion with two strengths: 1 mg/vial and 4 mg/vial. Before use, the 1-mg vial and 4-mg vial was reconstituted with 2 mL and 8 mL of water for injection respectively to give a solution containing 0.5 mg/mL of PM01183. For administration to patients as i.v. infusion, reconstituted vials were further diluted with glucose 50 mg/mL (5%) solution for infusion or sodium chloride 9 mg/mL (0.9%) solution for infusion. All patients in this arm received PM01183: 7.0 mg FD on Day 1 i.v. as a 1-h infusion q3wk (three weeks = one treatment cycle).

    Arm title
    Topotecan
    Arm description
    During the second stage, patients were randomized the Control Arm: Topotecan. Topotecan was administered either as a standard (daily) or weekly regimen. The daily dose/regimen was based on approved topotecan dosing for relapsed ovarian cancer. The weekly regimen and dose/regimen was based on clinical practice reported in the literature.

    Standard Daily Regimen: Topotecan: i.v. as a 30-min infusion daily on Days 1–5 q3wk (3 weeks = 1 treatment cycle). The starting topotecan dose depended on the patient’s ECOG PS, CrCL, and on the number of line of prior chemotherapy lines: -1.50 mg/m2/daily for patients with ECOG PS=0, CrCL≥60 mL/min and not more than one line. -1.25 mg/m2/daily for patients with ECOG PS=1 or 2, or CrCL 41–59 mL/min, or more than one line. -0.75 mg/m2/daily for patients with CrCL 30–40 mL/min. Weekly Regimen:- Topotecan: i.v. as a 30-min infusion weekly on Days 1, 8 and 15 q4wk (4 weeks = 1 treatment cycle). The starting topotecan dose depended on the patient’s ECOG PS and CrCL: -4.0 mg/m2 for patients with ECOG PS=0 or 1 and CrCL≥60 mL/min. -3.0 mg/m2 for patients with ECOG PS=2 or CrCL 41–59 ml/min. -2.4 mg/m2 for patients with calculated CrCL 30–40 mL/min. Regardless of the starting dose, patients received topotecan at the same schedule

    Progression-free Survival
    End point description
    Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the time from the date of first infusion to the date of PD, death (of any cause), or last tumor evaluation. Progression-free survival rate at six months (PFS6), defined as the Kaplan-Meier estimate of the percentage of patients who were alive and progression-free at six months after the first infusion.

    Reporting group description
    In the second-stage Control Arm, topotecan was administered as a 30-min i.v. infusion either in a dose range of 0.75–1.50 mg/m2 on Days 1 to 5 q3wk (standard regimen, referred to as ‘daily’) or 2.4–4.0 mg/m2 on Days 1, 8 and 15 every four weeks (q4wk) (weekly regimen) according to the Investigator’s preference.

    PM01183
    Reporting group description
    PM01183 was administered as a 7.0 mg flat dose (FD) 1-h intravenous (i.v.) infusion every three weeks (q3wk) in both stages.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    20 Feb 2012
    The protocol amendment included the following changes: 1) Due to the global shortage of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) which resulted in a lack of PLD supplies for clinical use worldwide, topotecan substituted PLD in the planned Control Arm. 2) Some data suggested that the weekly topotecan schedule was better tolerated and less myelotoxic than the standard schedule. Investigators were able to choose which topotecan schedule to administer to patients allocated to the Control Arm during the second stage of the study. 3) In order to improve patient safety in the Control Arm, the criteria for defining the starting dose of the daily topotecan regimen was slightly modified, the ECOG PS requirement was made stricter, and the extent of prior chemotherapy was taken into account to allocate the daily topotecan starting dose. 4) The exclusion criterion #1b was modified to clarify that patients with grade ≥ 3 ascites were not eligible. 5) Albumin level requirements at inclusion were changed to a minimum of 3.0 g/dL (inclusion criteria #8e).
    04 Dec 2013
    The protocol amendment included the following changes: • Planned end-of-study date was extended to 18 months after accrual of the last evaluable patient. • The follow-up assessments of patients showing documented disease progression or starting a new antitumor therapy were updated: every three months until the clinical cut-off, with the purpose of collecting information on survival. • A new secondary endpoint (overall survival rate at 12 months [OS12]) was included. • Exploratory analysis of Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD Assay) could be performed on patients responding to treatment, if considered relevant. • Polymorphisms and somatic mutations of genes involved in DNA repair mechanisms, or related to the mechanism of action of PM01183 or to the disease, could also be analyzed in tumor tissue, if relevant.
