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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Compare efficacy of afatinib with erlotinib as second-line treatment for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, as measured by progression-free survival (PFS).
    L'obiettivo primario dello studio e' di confrontare l'efficacia di afatinib con quella di erlotinib come trattamento di seconda linea nei pazienti con carcinoma a cellule squamose del polmone, misurata con la sopravvivenza libera da progressione (Progression Free Survival – PFS).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Compare overall survival (OS) in both treatment groups. Objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), tumour shrinkage and the assessment of Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and safety in both treatment groups
    L'obiettivo secondario principale dello studio e' di confrontare la sopravvivenza globale (Overall Survival - OS) in entrambi i gruppi di trattamento.Altri obiettivi secondari sono comparare il tasso di risposta obiettiva (Objective Response Rate - ORR), il tasso di controllo della malattia (Disease Control Rate - DCR) e il restringimento della massa tumorale dovuto all'azione di afatinib in confronto a quello dovuto ad erlotinib e la valutazione dell'Hazard Ratio qualita' della vita (HRQoL) e la sicurezza di entrambi i trattamenti.

    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1.Diagnosis of advanced stage NSCLC considered to be squamous histology, including mixed histology, in the opinion of the investigator. 2.Completion of at least 4 cycles of platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, with or without additional [non-EGFR] targeted agents, as 1st line treatment of Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC. This includes patients relapsing within 6 months of completing adjuvant/neo-advjuvant/curative -intent chemotherapy/chemoradiotherapy. (Note: these patients are still required to have had the equivalent of 4 cycles of platinumbased doublet chemotherapy) 3.Eligible to receive 2nd line therapy in the opinion of the investigator. Patients who received non-EGFR based therapy for maintenance are eligible. 4.Measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1. Refer to Appendix 10.1. 5.Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0 or 1. Refer to Appendix 10.2. 6.Availability of tumour tissue material for correlative studies (refer to Section 5.6).
