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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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
    To investigate if neoadjuvant TAK-700 with LHRH agonists and prostatectomy is associated with an improvement in progression-free survival compared to prostatectomy alone. The primary endpoint will assess the 3 year biochemical progression free survival (PSA)
    Protection of trial subjects
    Both drugs are associated with side effects. These are on the whole due to testosterone reductions in the body. The side effects such as hot flushes and fatigue are common. Erectile dysfunction, which commonly occurs with the prostate surgery could be made worse. Specific side effects associated with orteronel such as swelling can also occur. This was closely monitored during and after the study. Patients on the study arm were required to attend clinic every 4 weeks whilst they were on study medication where adverse events were recorded. The patient information sheet included details on expected adverse events for patients to look out for and also details that unexpected events may occur.

    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: Due to early termination of the study due to IMP withdrawal from development by the manufacturer, there is insufficient data to perform analysis of this endpoint.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? Yes
    Date
    Interruption
    Restart date
    22 Sep 2014
    Halt to recruitment implemented in Substantial Amendment 3. A manufacturing stop was put in place concerning the investigational medicinal product ortenerol (TAK-700) by Millenium (Takeda). Recruiting sites were asked to discontinue providing information sheets for the Neptune study to prospective trial patients. Takeda agreed to provide study medication to all patients who were still on treatment and for those patients who had been given a patient information sheet prior to the temporary halt coming into effect. Patients on treatment completed their treatment schedule as per protocol. The end of study notification was submitted to the Competent Authority once the last patient on treatment had completed the follow up period.
