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.

    Primary: Overall Response Rate (ORR) after 24 weeks of treatment

    End point title
    Overall Response Rate (ORR) after 24 weeks of treatment [1]
    End point description
    The Overall response rate (ORR) is the proportion of patients with a best overall response of confirmed complete (CR) or partial (PR) response by Week 24. The best overall response is determined from the sequence of investigator overall lesion responses according to RECIST 1.1. To be assigned a best overall response of CR at least two determinations of CR at least 4 weeks apart before progression are required. To be assigned a best overall response of PR at least two determinations of PR or better at least 4 weeks apart before progression (and not qualifying for a CR) are required.

    Progression free survival (PFS) after 48 weeks of treatment
    End point description
    Progression-free survival (PFS) is the time from date of start of treatment to the date of event defined as the first documented progression or death due to any cause. If a patient has not had an event, progression-free survival is censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment.

    Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from date of start of treatment to date of death due to any cause. If a patient is not known to have died, survival will be censored at the date of last contact. OS will be summarized using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Data relating to Resource Utilization will be used for the purpose of economic evaluation, which will be carried out and reported as a separate activity. The study population receiving RAD001 plus Exemestane will be compared to alternative cohorts (e.g., purely endocrine treatment with Fulvestrant monotherapy, Exemestane monotherapy or chemotherapy, e.g. Capecitabine) using a Markov model. For each alternative therapy option, median PFS, OS and health-related quality of life will be determined by a systematic review of literature or databases.

    End point description
    Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) will be assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30 . EORTC QLQ-C30 scales range from 0 to 100. High scores for global health status/QoL scale and for 5 functional scales (physical to social functioning) represent high QoL/level of functioning. High scores for other scales (fatigue to financial difficulties) represent high levels of symptomatology/problems.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    15 Oct 2012
    The following changes were introduced: • Bone scans could be replaced by whole body CT, provided that this was local standard. • Laboratory evaluations were to be performed according to local standard. • CT for chest, abdomen, pelvis could be replaced by MRI, if CT was clinically contraindicated, e.g., allergy/sensitivity to the radiographic contrast media, metastatic presentation. • Local radiotherapy was allowed during the study duration for analgesic purpose or for lytic lesions at risk of fracture. • The European Medicines Agency (EMA) assessment report for Afinitor states that the indication should be restricted to patients without symptomatic visceral disease in order to avoid the possibility of undertreatment of patients who should receive chemotherapy. As there is no common consensus of the definition of symptomatic visceral disease it was added in the protocol that the prescription of everolimus and exemestane was to follow exclusively the assessment of the patient’s individual medical need. • Details concerning the trial drug accounting process as well as a patient diary were added.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
