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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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 principal research question for the phase I study is to find the maximum tolerated dose of Ganetespib, and use this information with the number of chemotherapy cycles administered to determine the most appropriate dose of Ganetespib for the phase II trial. For the phase II study, the principle research question is to determine whether adding Ganetespib to pemetrexed and cisplatin using the dose from the Phase I part of the study, versus pemetrexed and cisplatin chemotherapy improves progression free survival (first disease progression or death of any cause).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Regular Trial Management Group meetings and Independent Data Monitoring Committee meetings were held throughout the trial to monitor overall safety in the patient group. Pharmacovigilance requirements and safety compliance rules were detailed in the trial protocol with overall risk assessment, on-site monitoring and central monitoring conducted by the trial teams. Patient data is stored in a secure manner and the trial is registered in accordance with the Data Protection Act.
    Background therapy
    Intravenous pemetrexed (500mg/m2) with vitamin B12/folate supplementation was administered on day 1 of each 21-day cycle to all patients regardless of platinum therapy and ganetespib dose.
    Evidence for comparator
    No comparators were used in this study.

    Arm description
    Patients were given a one-hour intravenous ganetespib infusion on days 1 and 15 of each 21-day cycle, at one of three dose levels: 100 mg/m2, 150 mg/m2, or 200 mg/m2. Patients also received a 10-minute intravenous pemetrexed infusion of 500 mg/m2 (with vitamin B12 and folate supplementation) immediately after ganetespib infusion on day 1 only. Additionally received cisplatin (75 mg/m2 intravenously over 2 hours) 30 minutes after the completion of pemetrexed infusion.

    Arm description
    For patients receiving carboplatin with ganetespib and pemetrexed (i.e. the ‘carboplatin cohort’), dose-escalation of ganetespib was conducted using an accelerated titration design with a starting dose of 100 mg/m2. At dose levels below 200 mg/m2, one patient would receive treatment; if no DLT was observed, the next patient would receive the next highest dose; otherwise, a 3+3 design would begin (i.e. the same as for the cisplatin-treated cohort). If ganetespib reached the estimate of the MTD, the cohort was expanded to 9 patients overall.

    Dose-limiting toxicities during cycle 1 and 2 [1]
    End point description
    Toxicities were graded using the National Cancer Institute’s Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE v4.0). A DLT was defined as any of the following adverse events deemed definitely, probably, or possibly related to ganetespib therapy: grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic events except diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting lasting more than 48 hours despite maximum medical therapy; grade 4 thrombocytopenia or neutropenia lasting longer than 7 days; febrile neutropenia, any drug-related adverse event leading to an interruption of ganetespib for longer than 14 days; or any clinically significant toxicity leading to dose reduction for ganetespib.

    Primary
    End point timeframe
    DLT assessment applied to cycles 1 and 2 only for patients in the cisplatin cohort, and cycle 1 only for the carboplatin cohort
    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: Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) observed in each platinum therapy arm and per dose level are reported as per CTCAE v4.0 and the study definition of DLT. Therefore, no statistical analyses or null hypothesis significance testing are required in identifying DLTs. We report the number of DLTs per platinum therapy arm, with details of the relevant event given as comments.

    [4] - 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: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) is the dose agreed by the Trial Management Group to be maximally tolerable and based on the number of Dose Limiting Toxicities observed in each platinum therapy arm and per dose level.

    Reporting group title
    Cisplatin
    Reporting group description
    Patients were given a one-hour intravenous ganetespib infusion on days 1 and 15 of each 21-day cycle, at one of three dose levels: 100 mg/m2, 150 mg/m2, or 200 mg/m2. Patients also received a 10-minute intravenous pemetrexed infusion of 500 mg/m2 (with vitamin B12 and folate supplementation) immediately after ganetespib infusion on day 1 only. Additionally received cisplatin (75 mg/m2 intravenously over 2 hours) 30 minutes after the completion of pemetrexed infusion.

    Reporting group title
    Carboplatin
    Reporting group description
    For patients receiving carboplatin with ganetespib and pemetrexed (i.e. the ‘carboplatin cohort’), dose-escalation of ganetespib was conducted using an accelerated titration design with a starting dose of 100 mg/m2. At dose levels below 200 mg/m2, one patient would receive treatment; if no DLT was observed, the next patient would receive the next highest dose; otherwise, a 3+3 design would begin (i.e. the same as for the cisplatin-treated cohort). If ganetespib reached the estimate of the MTD, the cohort was expanded to 9 patients overall.
