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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    • To correlate the anti-tumour activity of AZD4547 with molecular changes on treatment in the FGFR pathway in serial biopsies.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The investigator must ensure that the patient’s confidentiality is maintained in compliance with the UK Data Protection Act of 1998. On the case report forms or other documents submitted to the sponsor, patients should be identified by their initials and a patient study number only. Documents that are not for submission to the sponsor (e.g., signed informed consent forms) should be kept in strict confidence by the investigator.
    Background therapy
    There are about 1.5 million new cases and over 1.1 million deaths from gastro-oesophageal cancer per year worldwide (Jemal, Bray et al. 2011). The incidence in most Western countries lies between 10 and 15 new cases per 100,000 population per year, with great geographic differences. Worldwide, Japan, Korea and China now lead with up to 80 new cases per 100,000 population per year. Currently, gastric cancer and oesophageal cancers are the 2nd and 6th most common cause of cancer mortality worldwide. There is a male preponderance, with an approximate male: female ratio of 2:1 (Kreps 2010). Globally, the majority (60% to 70%) of gastric cancer cases present with locally advanced or metastatic disease that is unresectable. In addition, sixty percent of those initially treated with curative intent will develop loco regional or metastatic disease (Wagner, Grote et al. 2005; Field, Michael et al. 2008).Globally, there is no agreed standard first-line regimen for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer, though most patients would receive a platinum based doublet or triplet chemotherapy regimen. The choice of treatment is based on a variety of factors, including clinical study results, availability and cost of drugs, therapy-related toxicity, and the patient’s physical status. Limited therapeutic options exist upon progression in second line treatment settings for advanced gastro-oesophageal cancer. Although a statistically significant benefit in survival has been shown from second-line chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer (Park, Lim et al. 2011), the benefit is relatively modest and outcomes or most patients who have progressed following treatment with first-line chemotherapy remain generally poor. Current ESMO guidelines recommend clinical trials as the most appropriate option for treatment of these patients and there are no NICE approved second-line treatments for patients with advanced gastro-oesophageal cancers.
    Evidence for comparator
    FGFR2 amplifications have been described in 10% of gastric cancers, usually associated with the poor prognosis diffuse-type histology (Kunii, Davis et al. 2008). Gastric cancer cell lines with FGFR2-amplification are dependent on the over-expressed and activated FGFR2 kinase for continued growth. Loss of FGFR2 signalling can cause potent growth inhibition and apoptosis in FGFR2 amplified gastric cancer cell lines. Anti-tumour activity of AZD4547 (FGFR 1-3 inhibitor) has also been shown in xenograft models of FGFR2 amplified (SNU 16) gastric cancer cell lines (Xie, Su et al.). Thus, there is strong preclinical evidence for using FGFR2 inhibition as a therapeutic target in FGFR2 amplified gastric cancers.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study will be run in two independent tumour cohorts – advancedFGFR2 amplified upper GI cancer, other FGFR dysregulated tumours. Recruitment in each cohorts will be independent of each other. The primary endpoint of the study is to assess the response rate to AZD4547 across each tumour group. Assuming AZD4547 is active with a true underly

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Stage 1 (pre-screening): Patients who the investigator considers may be eligible for the study, or may become eligible within the recruitment period (e.g. patients who are currently being treated with first line or adjuvant therapy who may relapse during the recruitment period), will be pre-screened for their FGFR status.
