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   44380   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7392   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 establish the safety and dose of selumetinib in combination with HAART and to establish evidence of whether AIDS-associated KS lesions respond to (i.e. get smaller with) selumetinib in combination with HAART.
    Protection of trial subjects
    A data monitoring committee was involved to protect SCART trial participants (especially in relation to safety) and to assist and advise the Chief Investigator and other members of the Trial Management Group (TMG) to ensure the validity and credibility of the trial. This was to safeguard the interests of participants, assess the safety and efficacy of the interventions, and monitor the overall conduct of the clinical trial. A risk assessment was also in place to document any potential risks of the trial and how these would be minimised.
    Background therapy
    HAART remains fundamental to the treatment of AIDS-associated KS. The commonest HAART regimen currently used in the UK is Atripla (Gilead Sciences Ltd), a combination of Efavirenz, Emtricitabine and Tenofovir. Patients were required to have been established on a HAART regimen for at least 3 months prior to study entry.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    12 patients to Phase I and 25 patients to Phase II were to be recruited over a 3 year period.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Potentially eligible HIV positive patients with confirmed progressive KS on an established HAART regimen (≥ 3 months) could be screened for entry into this trial. A patient who gave written informed consent and who satisfied all the inclusion and exclusion criteria could be entered into the trial.

    Selumetinib
    Arm description
    Phase I was a dose-finding study to discover the maximum tolerated dose of selumetinib in combination with HAART. Phase II was to consider the efficacy of selumetinib for treating Kaposi's sarcoma at the recommended phase II dose discovered in phase I.

    Dosage and administration details
    The treatment schedule required selumetinib to be taken either once daily at the same time each day or twice daily approximately 12 hours apart. Selumetinib should be taken with water at least 2 hours after a meal and 1 hour before the next meal. Selumetinib capsules were to be administered in a continuous 21 day cycle (6 cycles), unless disease progression occured.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: There were 19 patients recruited to the SCART Trial, however only 16 started trial treatment; 3 did not receive any trial treatment for the following reasons: 1 patient on 50mg dose allocation was not consented after non-permitted treatment was given 1 patient on 75mg dose allocation was found to be ineligible post-registration 1 patient on 75mg dose allocation withdrew consent as couldn’t commit to trial requirements due to personal circumstances

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Trial closed due to poor recruitment a factor of which was the improvement in HIV treatment and fewer cases of Kaposi's Sarcoma. Number of samples for translational research low and poor quality which limited analyses that could be performed.
