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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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
    The primary objectives for Part 1 of the study were: To determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of alectinib (RO5424802) to be used in Part 2 of the study; To evaluate the safety and tolerability of 600 milligrams (mg) and 900-mg doses of alectinib administered twice daily to participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement and in whom prior crizotinib therapy has failed; To characterize dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), if any, associated with alectinib after 21 days of treatment; and To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of alectinib and metabolite(s). The primary objective for Part 2 of the study was: To evaluate efficacy of alectinib by objective response rate (ORR) as per independent radiological review committee (IRC) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v 1.1) criteria in the overall population.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the “Declaration of Helsinki” and International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guideline for Good Clinical Practice (GCP). Approval from the Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)/Institutional Review Board (IRB) was obtained before study start and was documented in a letter to the investigator specifying the date on which the committee met and granted the approval. No modifications were made to the protocol after receipt of the IEC/IRB approval.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Overall study status was confirmed as completed. Here, 'study terminated by sponsor' in reason for study not completed means participants were transitioned to commercial supply of alectinib (where it was available) or transitioned to a roll-over study BO39694 (NCT03194893) where they continued to receive alectinib treatment.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Part 1 of study was planned to determine the RP2D of alectinib to be used in Part 2. During the conduct of Part 1 for this study, RP2D was confirmed in Study NP28761 (NCT01871805). Hence Part 1 participants were merged into Part 2. Part 3 was post-progression treatment period.

    Tumor response was assessed by IRC according to RECIST v1.1. Objective response was defined as percentage of participants with a CR or PR that was confirmed by repeat assessments >/=4 weeks after initial documentation. CR was defined as disappearance of all target, non-target lesions; normalization of tumor marker level; and reduction in all lymph nodes size to less than (<) 10 millimeters (mm). PR was defined as >/=30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of diameters (SoD) of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline SoD). The 95% confidence interval (CI) was computed using Clopper-Pearson method. Analysis was performed on RE population (IRC), which included all participants with measurable disease at baseline according to the IRC, who had baseline tumor assessment and received at least one dose of alectinib.

    Percentage of Participants Achieving CR, PR or Stable Disease (SD) According to RECIST v1.1 in RE Population
    End point description
    The disease control rate (DCR) was defined as the percentage of participants achieving CR, PR, or SD that lasted for at least 16 weeks. Tumor response was assessed by the investigator and IRC according to RECIST v1.1. CR: disappearance of all target, non-target lesions; normalization of tumor marker level; and reduction in all lymph nodes size to <10 mm. PR: >/=30% decrease in the SoD of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline SoD). PD: >/=20% relative increase and >/=5 mm of absolute increase in the SoD, taking as reference the smallest SoD recorded since treatment started; 1 or more new lesion(s); and/or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions. SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest SoD while on study. The 95% CI was computed using Clopper-Pearson method. RE population: All participants who had baseline tumor assessment and received at least one dose of alectinib.

    CNS response was assessed by IRC according to RANO criteria. CNS Objective response: percentage of participants with a CR or PR that was confirmed by repeat assessments >/=4 weeks after initial documentation. CR was defined as complete disappearance of all enhancing measurable, non-measurable disease; stable or improved non-enhancing lesions; no new lesions; no corticosteroids (or only physiologic replacement dose), and clinically stable or improved. PR was defined as >/=50% decrease compared to screening in the sum of the products of the diameters (SPD) of enhancing measurable lesions; no progression of non-measurable disease (enhancing and non-enhancing lesions); no new lesions; no corticosteroids (or only physiologic replacement dose), and clinically stable or improved.

    CDoR was defined as the time from first observation of a CNS objective response (CR or PR) until first observation of CNS progression as assessed by IRC according to RECIST v 1.1 or death from any cause. CR: disappearance of all CNS lesions. PR: >/=30% decrease in the SoD of measurable CNS lesions (taking as reference the baseline SoD). CNS progression: >/=20% increase in the SoD of measurable CNS lesions (with an absolute increase of at least 5 mm), taking as reference the baseline SoD; 1 or more new CNS lesion(s); and/or unequivocal progression of non-measurable CNS lesions. CDoR was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and 95% CI was assessed using method of Brookmeyer and Crowley. Analysis was performed on safety population participants with measurable CNS lesions at baseline and who had CNS objective response as assessed by IRC according to RECIST v1.1. Data ‘99999’ in results signifies that upper limit of 95% CI could not be calculated due to high number of censored participants.
