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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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
    ‘Run-in part’ primary objective: To determine a safe light dose for PC-A11 with interstitial laser light application in patients with recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma unsuitable for surgery and radiotherapy and eligible for interstitial laser light application ‘Run-in part’ secondary objective: To make a preliminary assessment of efficacy at 3 months To assess the safety and tolerability To characterize the PK To test the QoL ‘Expansion part’ primary objective: To assess the efficacy of PC-A11 with superficial and/or interstitial laser light application in patients with recurrent SCCHN by means of local non-progression rates at 6 months ‘Expansion part’ secondary objectives: To assess efficacy by means of: Local non-progression rate at 3 months Objective Overall Response Rate (ORR) Disease Control Rate (DCR) Progression Free Survival (PFS) Overall Survival (OS) To assess the safety and tolerability To characterize the PK To test the QoL
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients will be monitored closely for a minimum of 2 hours following Amphinex and bleomycin administration, and placement of interstitial light applicator fibres and laser light application will be performed under general anaesthesia. Patients will be assessed for safety at baseline, as well as during treatment and follow-up visits until disease progression. Close monitoring for interactions of Amphinex with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction will be considered carefully during patient selection and treatment. Product complaints were reported to the sponsor and are considered any oral or written expression of dissatisfaction related to identity, quality, purity, and safety of the medicinal product.

    'Pre-expansion’ Part PC-A11 (Pre Amendment 2)
    Arm description
    Patients received a single dose of Amphinex 30 mg/mL at a fimaporfin (active substance in Amphinex) dose of 0.25 mg/kg on Day 0, followed by bleomycin administration (at a dose of 15000 IU/m2) on Day 4. Laser light application was performed 3 hours (±1 hour) after bleomycin administration. The light source used was a PCI-652 nm laser (CE 0470), emitting red light at 652±2 nm. The laser had 1 channel operating up to 5 W and 6 -+channels operating up to 0.5 W. Superficial laser light applications were performed with a frontal diffuser fiber attached to the 5 W output channel at a light dose of 100 mW and 60 J/cm2. Up to 6 fibers with cylindrical diffuser tips could be connected to the 0.5 W output channels for simultaneous intratumoral laser light application at a light dose of 100 mW and 60 J/cm per fiber.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: No Statistical analyses for this endpoint. No formal statistical analyses were performed due to the study termination resulting in too few patients being eligible for analysis.
    [2] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: DLTs were only analysed in the 'run in' cohorts of patients.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Date of informed consent until 3 months after laser light application. After period of observation the adverse event is serious and for which a causal relationship to the study treatment cannot be ruled out and all deaths not due to disease progression.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

    Reporting group description
    Patients received a single dose of Amphinex 30 mg/mL at a fimaporfin (active substance in Amphinex) dose of 0.25 mg/kg on Day 0, followed by bleomycin administration (at a dose of 15000 IU/m2) on Day 4. Laser light application was performed 3 hours (±1 hour) after bleomycin administration . The light source used was a PCI-652 nm laser (CE 0470), emitting red light at 652±2 nm. The laser had 1 channel operating up to 5 W and 6 -+channels operating up to 0.5 W. Superficial laser light applications were performed with a frontal diffuser fiber attached to the 5 W output channel at a light dose of 100 mW and 60 J/cm2. Up to 6 fibers with cylindrical diffuser tips could be connected to the 0.5 W output channels for simultaneous intratumoral laser light application at a light dose of 100 mW and 60 J/cm per fiber.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The dose optimization for intratumoral light application was more complicated than anticipated. Study was terminated due to increased complexity of the treatment with extended treatment margins and the emerging, very promising, immunotherapy data.
