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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To determine the median Progression-free Survival (PFS) in each study arm (neoadjuvant/adjuvant treatment with or without Nintedanib(Vargatef®).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origins in the Declaration of Helsinki and with the French laws and regulations: - Huriet law (n°88-1138) of December 20th 1988, concerning protection of participants undergoing biomedical research, modified by the Public health law (n°2004-806) of August 9th 2004. - Data Protection Act n°78-17, modified by the law n°2004-801 of August 6th 2004 ensuring the confidentiality of personal information. The study fully adhered to the principles outlined in “Guideline for Good Clinical Practice” (November 2006) ICH Tripartite Guideline (January 1997). The investigator ensured compliance with the EU Clinical Trial Directive (2001/20/EC). The study protocol and all the amendments were reviewed by an Independent Ethics Committee (EC): Comité de Protection des Personnes (CPP) Ile de France n° 1 Docteur Catherine Grillot-Courvalin, Présidente du CPP Ile de France n° 1 Hôpital Hôtel-Dieu 1, place du Parvis Notre-Dame – Place Jean-Paul II 75004 PARIS The EC provided an initial approval on the 29th of March 2012
    Background therapy
    Maximal primary cyto-reductive surgery followed by carboplatin-paclitaxel 3-weeks cycles of chemotherapy remains the standard of care as first treatment in advanced ovarian cancer. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy represents an alternative strategy for patients with stage IIIC or IV who are not considered to be completely resectable. Chemotherapy followed by interval debulking result in fewer and simpler operations and lesser morbidity for the patients involving less inconvenience and toxicity for the patient with equivalent survival outcomes. The background therapy treatments for this trial are : Carboplatine: AUC 5 or 6, IV, q 3 weeks Paclitaxel: 175 mg/m², IV, q 3 weeks Patients will receive a total number of 6 courses. Two additional cycles are allowed if required (maximum 8 cycles).
    Evidence for comparator
    Vargatef® (Nintedanib) is an orally available potent small molecule triple kinase inhibitor inhibiting VEGFR 1-3, FGFR 1-3 as well as PDGF receptor a and ß in the low nanomolar range. Considering its antiangiogenic mechanism of action demonstrated in vivo, it is anticipated that treatment with Vargatef® (Nintedanib) will slow tumor growth in human cancers. Moreover, tumor regression may also be achieved by induction of apoptosis of immature tumor vessels. In addition, a therapeutic effect may also result from inhibition of tumor autocrine and paracrine growth factor loops involving VEGF, PDGF and bFGF. It is likely that long-term treatment may be needed to ensure maximal clinical benefit. Based on results of previous phase I and II clinical trials, it was decided to set up a large randomized phase III study (GCIG/ENGOT/AGO-OVAR 12 trial). The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of Vargatef® (Nintedanib) plus chemotherapy as compared with placebo plus chemotherapy in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Vargatef® (Nintedanib)/placebo monotherapy was continued for a maximum of 120 weeks after randomization or until AEs or disease progression, whichever occurs first. The results showed that adding nintedanib to carboplatin–paclitaxel after upfront surgery improved PFS (but not OS), although adverse events (AEs) were increased.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Patients were recruited in 31 centres in France during January 11th, 2013 to May 13th, 2015.

    Pre-assignment

    The trial was performed according to a parallel group, double-blind, placebo-controlled design. Patients, investigators and the sponsor’s trial team involved in analyzing of this double-blind trial remained blinded with regard to the randomized treatment assignments up to database lock, with the exception of particular instances which required immediate unblinding (DSMB).

    Arm description
    1. Neoadjuvant therapy (3 cycles) Vargatef® placebo 200mg bid will be administered twice daily during the first 2 cycles except on day 1 of each cycle (day of chemotherapy). Placebo will not be administered during cycle before surgery (third cycle). Patients with insufficient tumor response to allow interval debulking surgery after 3 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy will receive 4 cycles of neo-adjuvant therapy. In those patients, placebo will be skipped during cycle preceding surgery (Cycle 4). Interval Debulking Surgery: will be performed 3 to 4 weeks after the last chemotherapy administration. 3. Adjuvant therapy: will start 4 weeks after surgery and after complete surgical wound healing 4. Maintenance therapy: Placebo 200mg bid will be administered during 2 years or until disease progression which ever occur first.

    1. Neoadjuvant therapy (3 cycles) Vargatef® placebo 200mg bid will be administered twice daily during the first 2 cycles except on day 1 of each cycle (day of chemotherapy). Placebo will not be administered during cycle before surgery (third cycle). Patients with insufficient tumor response to allow interval debulking surgery after 3 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy will receive 4 cycles of neo-adjuvant therapy. In those patients, placebo will be skipped during cycle preceding surgery (Cycle 4). Interval Debulking Surgery: will be performed 3 to 4 weeks after the last chemotherapy administration. 3. Adjuvant therapy: will start 4 weeks after surgery and after complete surgical wound healing 4. Maintenance therapy: Placebo 200mg bid will be administered during 2 years or until disease progression which ever occur first.
