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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

Death in the absence of progression was a PFS event only if it occurred within the 12+1 weeks for subjects who discontinued treatment prior to cycle 8 and 24+2 weeks for subjects who discontinued treatment after to cycle 8 of the last evaluable tumor assessment; PFS were censored at the date of the last evaluable tumor assessment, if it occurred later. Median and 95% confidence interval 95% were reported for the mRECIST and RECIST 1.1 analysis sets. Subjects still alive at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of last contact.

    Objective Tumor Response Rate (ORR)
    End point description
    Objective tumor response rate (ORR) was defined as the percentage of subjects whose best tumor response CR or Partial Response (PR) observed during trial period assessed according to the mRECIST criteria and RECIST 1.1. CR= Disappearance of all clinical and radiological evidence of tumor (both target and non-target). Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm. PR= At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum, no unequivocal progression of existing non target lesions and no appearance of new lesions. Subjects prematurely discontinuing without an assessment were to be considered non-responders for the analysis.

    Disease Control Rate (DCR)
    End point description
    Disease control rate (DCR) was defined as the percentage of subjects whose best response was CR (CR: disappearance of all clinical and radiological evidence of tumor (both target and non-target).), PR (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum, no unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, and no appearance of new lesions.), or stable disease (SD) (SD: steady state of disease. Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, no unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, and no appearance of new lesions.) according to RECIST and RECIST 1.1 criteria. SD had to be maintained for at least 6 weeks from the first demonstration of that rating.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    02 May 2013
    -The term study drug treatment was substituted for regorafenib treatment in a sentence describing whether a subject could continue treatment if considered to be achieving a benefit from the treatment according to the investigator. - An inclusion criterion was modified according to the mRECIST and RECIST 1.1 in order to include subjects who demonstrated progression in previously treated lesions. - An exclusion criteria requiring the assessment of esophageal varices by endoscopy within 6 months and 12 months of the start of the study was modified to require that endoscopy be performed as per local standard of care. - In treatment assignment, text was modified stipulating that subjects should start treatment no later than 3 days after randomization. - Antiviral treatment for hepatitis C virus was included under “not permissible concomitant medication,” in order to not include these subjects due to the unfavorable risk benefit assessment. - The measurement of vital signs was included separately from the physical examinations due to differences in the timing of those assessments. - Vital signs examinations were included to be carried out on Day 15 of each cycle consistent with the design of the electronic case report form (eCRF). - The section on Tumor response Criteria (RECIST 1.1 and mRECIST) was divided into subsections for clarity. Slight modifications were made to the introductory text for the RECIST 1.1 and the mRECIST criteria section for clarity.
    13 Dec 2013
    - Rewording was done for clarity regarding the planning of the formal futility and formal efficacy analyses stating that there would be one of type of analysis and that data reviews were to be performed according to the data monitoring committee (DMC) charter. - The text excluding subjects from the study who permanently discontinued sorafenib treatment due to any cause more than 8 weeks before randomization was changes to 10 weeks. This change was to allow additional time to recruit subjects who were transferred from other sites. - Under the subsection “Emergency unblinding by the investigator”, text was added following ICH guidelines (ICH Topic E 6 [R1] Guideline for Good Clinical Practice) and in accordance with the Site User Manual for unblinding a subject's treatment assignment. - Text was added for clarification specifying exploratory pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses and an explanation of the timing of sample collection and the calculation of PK parameters. In addition a new subsection was added for completeness entitled “Validity of PK samples” describing the conditions under which PK samples were to be considered acceptable for analysis.
    11 Nov 2014
    - The number of subjects to be recruited into the study was increased from 530 to 560. - A change was introduced allowing the use of a separate non-genetic biomarker consent form in exceptional cases according to site-specific requirements. This change was introduced in order to cover the case where study sites required a separate non-genetic biomarker consent form. - Administrative changes
    02 Nov 2015
    -Changes regarding the planned interim analysis: The protocol requirement for performing a second interim efficacy analysis of the study results was removed. Due to the unexpectedly slow recruitment of subjects in China, the second interim analysis would have been conducted before full subject accrual into the study had been reached. It was considered important to optimize subject enrollment in China in light of a Health Authority guidance regarding enrollment. -Changes regarding monthly survival assessments: A requirement was added stating that monthly survival assessments were to continue until the approximate date of unblinding for primary completion of the study. If needed, survival assessments (for example via additional phone contacts) were to be allowed to continue past the primary analysis until the end of the study. This modification was included because overall survival data might be required after the primary completion of the study; additional analyses might be required to include the data from the data cut-off date (date at which approximately 370 events are achieved) up to or beyond the date of unblinding.
    01 Dec 2015
    -Information was added regarding interactions of regorafenib with neomycin, breast cancer resistant protein (BCRP), UGT1A1, UGT1A9, P-glycoprotein substrates, and bile saltsequestering agents. -The recommendation to proactively monitor subjects taking digoxin was removed. This information was added in light of new information that became available as documented in the latest version of the regorafenib IB. -References to Cytochrome P450 1A2 inhibitors and inducers were removed from the header and in the text since all of the substances were Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP 3A4) inhibitors. This change was introduced in order to clarify that only CYP 3A4 inhibitors and inducers were listed in appendix. The underlining of the substances listed in the table was removed since there was no need to differentiate between these substances since all are either inhibitors or inducers of CYP34A.
