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   43861   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The aim of this study is to establish whether or not giving patients the trial drug orteronel (an androgen synthesis blocker) after their disease has been stabilised by chemotherapy (docetaxel), will lengthen the time that they are 'event free' (alive and without evidence of clinical progression of their cancer) in comparison to patients who receive a placebo.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Protection of trial subjects was ensured by Safety Monitoring, i.e. assessment of adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse drug reactions, and the continouus assessment of laboratory values (blood chemistry) and vital signs.
    Background therapy
    Background therapy was best supportive care (BSC). BSC was to be administered according to local standards and included but was not limited to appropriate pain management, management of disease related complications (e.g., urinary obstruction, hydronephrosis, skeletal related events), continued androgen deprivation in non-surgically castrated patients (mandatory).
    Evidence for comparator
    All patients received best supportive care and either orteronel or placebo. A placebo-controlled study design was chosen to test the effect of orteronel on patient status after disease stabilization succeeding docetaxel treatment.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    192 patients were planned to be enrolled. 47 patients had been enrolled in Great Britain (2 centres; 6 patients) and Switzerland (15 centres; 41 patients) from 09-Nov-2012 to 17-Jul-2014. The trial was prematurely closed for accrual after the inclusion of 47 patients.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Eligibility criteria of a patient were checked by the investigator. Once a patient fullfils all inclusion criteria and not any of the exclusion criteria, he/she was randomized.

    The primary endpoint of this trial was event-free survival (EFS). EFS was calculated from registration until the event of interest. Patients not experiencing an event were censored at the date of the last available assessment or at initiation of a different treatment. Patients who were unblinded before they experienced an Event were censored at the date of the unblinding.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    As patients in the trial were selected in the sense that they all had derived clinical benefit from docetaxel (PR or SD) and due to the small number of patients included the trial results have to be interpreted with caution.
