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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7292   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 ).

    Disease control rate (DCR)
    End point description
    DCR was calculated as the percentage of patients with best overall response of CR, PR, SD, or non-CR non-PD (NCRNPD), per RECIST 1.1 by investigator. CR: Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm 1. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR or CR nor an increase in lesions which would qualify for PD. Non-CR/Non-PD (NCRNPD): refers to best overall responses that are neither CR nor PD per RECIST 1.1 criteria for patients with non-measurable disease only at baseline.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    27 Mar 2013
    The amendment reflected the availability of new safety data, addressed requests from health authorities, and clarified sections of the protocol where additional guidance was required: Addition of an ECG assessment for all patients six hours after the first dose; Provided general guidance on dose modifications; Provided guidance on dose modifications in response to QTc prolongation; Provided guidance for treatment of hypophosphatemia; Clarified tumor sample collection requirements.
    27 Aug 2013
    The amendment addressed the availability of new safety data as represented in the latest Investigator Brochure and clarified sections of the protocol where additional guidance was required: Addition of a secondary endpoint of overall intracranial response rate (OIRR) for patients with measurable brain lesions at baseline to conduct a preliminary assessment of ceritinib activity in the brain; Update of safety data in the protocol and associated ICF to match the Investigator Brochure Edition 4 (released on 28-Jun-2013); An exclusion criterion for patients with pneumonitis was added. Further, dose modification criteria were added for patients who experienced pneumonitis during the course of the study; The definition of duration of response (DOR) was changed from ‘time from first documented response (PR or CR) to the date of first documented disease progression or death due to underlying cancer’ to ‘time from first documented response (PR or CR) to the date of first documented disease progression or death due to any cause’. This change was made due to a request from the FDA and is further justifiable given that in an advanced cancer study it is difficult to ascertain whether a death is due to underlying cancer.
    05 May 2015
    The amendment addressed the availability of new safety data as represented in the latest Investigator Brochure and clarified sections of the protocol where additional guidance was required: Update of safety data in the protocol and associated ICF to match the Investigator Brochure Edition 7 (released on 12-Jun-2014); Update of ceritinib dose modification and follow-up toxicities in case of elevations of pancreatic enzymes (lipase and/or amylase); An evaluation of benefits and risks to comply with the EU clinical trial regulations; Update of the definition of end of study to take in to account of the availability of a rollover protocol; Reduced the frequency of tumor assessments to every 12 weeks from eight weeks.
