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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.

    -Tolerability
    - Feasibility
    - Disease response according to RECIST criteria, including disease
    control rate
    - Overall survival
    • To explore the changes in quality of life (QL) over time until treatment discontinuation.
    • To investigate the prognostic role of putative markers (SPARC and caveolin) and assess any change in the expression of SPARC and caveolin between primary and the metastatic sites.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria

    • Female aged 18 years or older.
    • Life expectancy > 3 months.
    • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1.
    • Either ER-positive or ER-negative disease. Patients with ER-positive disease must be endocrine resistant, defined as having failed at least one prior endocrine therapy for breast cancer, or must be candidates for first-line chemotherapy.
    • If previously treated with a taxane or anthracycline in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting, the period from end of treatment to disease recurrence must have been > 12 months (> 365 days).
    • Radiation therapy, if given and regardless of site, must be completed at least 2 weeks prior to randomization.
    • Normal hematologic status. Must meet all criteria: absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1500/mm3 (1.5 x 109/L), platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L and hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL (≥ 90 g/L)).
    • Normal renal function (serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 ULN or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 50mL/min according to the Cockcroft and Gault formula).
    • Normal liver function. Must meet all criteria: ALT (SGPT) and AST (SGOT) ≤ 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN) (without liver metastases; total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL;. Exceptions: If the patient has liver metastases, ALT (SGPT) and AST (SGOT) must be ≤ 5 × ULN; total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL. If the patient has Gilbert’s disease higher bilirubin is acceptable (≤ 3 mg/dL)
    • Normal cardiac function defined as left ventricular ejection fraction within the institutional range of normal as measured by MUGA or echocardiogram.
    • Women of child bearing potential must have documented negative pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior to randomization and agree to acceptable birth control during the duration of the trial therapy and for a period of 6 months following the last administration of study drug. If for any reason the administration of first dose of trial treatment is not within 2 weeks of the pregnancy test, a second pregnancy test should be performed within two weeks of day 1 of cycle 1.
    • Written Informed Consent (IC) must be signed and dated by the patient and the Investigator prior to randomization.
    • Completed baseline Quality of Life Form.
    • The patient has been informed of and agrees to data transfer and handling, in accordance with national data protection guidelines.
    • Availability of an FFPE block from the primary tumor (breast lesion) for submission to central pathology review and for translational research.
    • Written consent to pathology material submission, indicating the patient has been informed of and agrees to tissue material use, transfer and handling, must be signed and dated by the patient and the Investigator prior to randomization.

    • Pregnant or lactating.
    • Prior history of non-breast malignancy (except for adequately controlled basal cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, in situ carcinoma of the bladder).
    • Any concurrent condition which in the Investigator’s opinion makes it inappropriate for the patient to participate in the trial or which would jeopardize compliance with the protocol.
    • Contraindications or known hypersensitivity to the study medication or excipients.
    • The use of any anti-cancer investigational agents within 30 days prior to expected start of trial treatment.
    • Inability or unwillingness to abide by the study protocol or cooperate fully with the Investigator.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Progression-free survival (PFS): time from randomization to documented progressive disease according to RECIST criteria or death, whichever occurs first.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The primary efficacy endpoint of PFS will be evaluated among each of the three treatment arms separately, in three independent tests, and compared to the historic PFS of first-line docetaxel. PFS distribution will also be summarized separately by different starting dose in induction (150mg/m2 and 125mg/m2).
    The target number of events per group is 63.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    • Tolerability: adverse events according to CTCAE v4
    • Feasibility: completing treatment according to the protocol for at least 24 weeks
    • Disease control: overall response or stable disease (or non-CR/non-PD for patients with non-measurable disease) or better (i.e., partial or complete response) according to RECIST criteria for a duration of ≥24 weeks
    • Overall survival: time from randomization to death from any cause
    • QL: primary endpoint physical well-being
    • Prognostic markers: SPARC and caveolin expression
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The toxicities, feasibility, OS, disease control rate and other measures of disease response will be evaluated for each treatment arm separately and will also be summarized separately by different starting dose in induction (150mg/m2 and 125mg/m2).
    The primary quality of life endpoint is physical well-being. The change in QL over time until treatment discontinuation for patients on each arm and on the different starting dose in induction (150mg/m2 and 125mg/m2)
    will be explored using repeated measures modeling.
    In translational research, on FFPE material from the primary tumor and metastatic sites separately, it will be evaluated whether SPARC and caveolin are prognostic markers for PFS in women with metastatic breast cancer using log-rank tests and Cox regression analysis.
