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   43861   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To determine the safety, tolerability and dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) of tefinostat when administered orally to patients with advanced HCC. To determine the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of tefinostat in patients with advanced HCC.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Participant safety was continuously monitored through reporting of adverse events (including dose limiting toxicities), laboratory assessments and physical exams. Dose Escalation Meetings were convened when each cohort finished recruitment to assess the safety information and to assess if the trial could open to recruitment to the next cohort.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    From December 2012 to September 2016 17 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were enrolled into phase I of the CHR-2845 trial, from 4 centres within the UK. Phase II of the trial was not taken forward.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Malignant HCC who have not received prior systemic therapy, with a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. ECOG performance status of 0-2, and a Child-Pugh classification A or B7. Adequate organ and bone marrow function with no history of cardiovascular disease. 37 patients were screened, and 17 of these patients were deemed to be eligible.

    Primary: Dose Limiting Toxicity

    End point title
    Dose Limiting Toxicity [1]
    End point description
    To determine the safety, tolerability and dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) of Tefinostat when administered orally to patients with advanced HCC. This will be done by determining causality of each adverse event (AE) to Tefinostat and grading severity according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) CTCAE V4.03. A DLT is defined as an event that is almost certainly/ probably dose-related, and drug related. Patients experiencing any of the following toxicities during the first 28 days of therapy will be considered to have experienced a dose-limiting toxicity (using CTCAE v4.03): • Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≤0.5x10 9/L lasting for > 5 days, or ANC ≤ 0.5x109 • Platelet count ≤25x109/L with fever. • Any other drug-related non-haematological toxicity (CTCAE v4.03 grade 3 or more. • Inability to tolerate a total of at least a 28 day course of Tefinostat due to toxicity; or any drugrelated adverse event resulting in a more than 14-day treatment delay.

    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 analysis required. Counts of DLTs provided instead. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was defined as 240mg BID (Dose Level 2). However, the recommended phase II dose was 360mg BID (Dose Level 3). Both dose level 2 and 3 were similarly tolerated, as per adverse events reported by each group, however, patients in Dosel level 3 showed better preliminary efficacy data. DLTs seen in Dose level 3 were fatigue (G3 CTCAE) and nausea (G3 CTCAE).
