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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of zolbetuximab in combination with EOX as determined by progression-free survival (PFS) and to determine the safety and tolerability of zolbetuximab in combination with EOX.
    Protection of trial subjects

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Male & female participants with CLDN18.2-positive advanced adenocarcinomas of the stomach, esophagus or gastroesophageal junction were enrolled in this multinational, multicenter study. Participants who had a tumor with 2+ or 3+ CLDN18.2 staining intensity in at least 40% of the tumor cells based on immunohistochemical testing were eligible.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Participants were randomized in two arms in a 1:1 ratio which was later adjusted to 1:1:7 to allow recruitment in Arm 3 which was added at a later date, to catch up with arms 1 & 2. Randomization was later adjusted to 1:1:1 and stratified by CLDN18.2 positivity and presence of nonmeasurable vs measurable disease at baseline.

    Intermediate milestone: Number of subjects

    Pre-assignment subject non-completion reasons
    Reason: Number of subjects
    Claudin-18 splice variant 2 (CLDN18.2) negative: 352
    Reason: Number of subjects
    CLDN18.2 positive but other criteria not fulfilled: 82
    Reason: Number of subjects
    CLDN18.2 not assessable: 44
    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: The worldwide number includes all randomized participants, the pre-assignment period includes participants in the screening period.

    Arm description
    Participants received up to 8 cycles of EOX chemotherapy treatment in combination with zolbetuximab administered as loading dose of 800 mg/m^2 intravenously on day 1 of cycle 1 followed by 600 mg/m^2 intravenously on day 1 of each subsequent cycle. Zolbetuximab was administered prior to EOX chemotherapy. After completion of the EOX treatment phase, participants were permitted to continue zolbetuximab monotherapy (600 mg/m^2 every 3 weeks administered intravenously as a 2-hour infusion) until progressive disease (PD), withdrawal of consent or unacceptable toxicity. PD per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study, an absolute increase of at least 5mm must also be demonstrated, unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions and appearance of one or more new lesions was considered progression.

The extractable volume per vial was 1 mL (for 22 mg zolbetuximab vials) or 5 mL (for 105 mg zolbetuximab vials). The reconstituted solution was further diluted with sodium chloride 0.9% to a final concentration of 2 mg/mL zolbetuximab. Zolbetuximab was administered as an intravenous infusion over 2 to 3 hours.

    Notes
    [2] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: No participants in Arm 1 continued on to receive zolbetuximab as a single-agent maintenance treatment after the EOX phase.
    [3] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: A total of 32 participants in Arm 2 continued to receive zolbetuximab as a single-agent maintenance treatment after the EOX phase.
    [4] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: A total of 27 participants in Arm 3 continued to receive zolbetuximab as a single-agent maintenance treatment after the EOX phase.

    Progression-free Survival (PFS)
    End point description
    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first observation of disease progression (based on central reading) or death from any cause (as assessed by the independent reviewer). Participants without documented progression or death were censored as of the last tumor evaluation determining lack of progression. The analysis population consisted of the full analysis set (FAS) which consisted of all participants who were randomized and received at least 1 dose of any study medication.

    Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) [7]
    End point description
    An AE was defined as any unintended or undesirable, noxious or pathological change, compared to pre-existing conditions, experienced by a participant during a clinical study or the follow-up period, regardless of relationship to study medication. Treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) were those AEs that started or worsened after the first dose of study medication. The analysis population consisted of the safety analysis set (SAF) which consisted of all participants who received at least 1 dose of any study medication.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    From the first dose of study drug administration up to 30 days after the last study medication administration (up to 1791 days).

    ORR was defined as the fraction of participants with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), according to RECIST v1.1 (as assessed by the investigator reviewer). CR according to RECIST v1.1 was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions, any pathological lymph node must have had reduction in short axis to < 10 mm, disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level should have occurred as well as no simultaneous appearance of new lesions. PR according to RECIST v1.1 was defined as at least 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the screening sum longest diameter and no simultaneous increase in the size of any lesion or the appearance of new lesions should have occurred. The analysis population consisted of the FAS. N is the number of participants with available data.
