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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    Part 1: To determine the recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) of alectinib to be used in Phase II of the study and to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) of alectinib 600 milligrams (mg) twice daily (BID) and 900 mg twice daily (BID) (if reached) dose regimens. Part 2 and Part 3: To evaluate efficacy by objective response rate (ORR) as per independent radiological review committee (IRC) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 in the overall population (with and without prior exposure of cytotoxic chemotherapy treatment[s]) and to evaluate efficacy by ORR as per IRC using RECIST version 1.1 in participants with prior exposure of cytotoxic chemotherapy treatment(s).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the “Declaration of Helsinki” and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) according to the regulations and procedures described in the protocol.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Part 1 of study was planned to determine recommended Phase II Dose (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.

    Overall Survival (OS)
    End point description
    OS was defined as the time from the date of first treatment to the date of death, regardless of the cause of death. OS was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and 95% CI was assessed using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley. Here "99999" represents data was not evaluable due to the short duration of follow-up at the time of the data cutoff. Analysis was performed on Safety population.

    Percentage of Participants Achieving CR, PR or Stable Disease (SD, Lasting ≥16 Weeks) in Response Evaluable Population
    End point description
    Disease control (CR, PR, or SD) was measured by RECIST version 1.1. by IRC and Investigator. CR was defined as disappearance of all target, non-target lesions; normalization of tumor marker level and all lymph nodes size is <10 mm. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters). SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. Analysis was performed on RE population. Here, 'n' signifies participants with measurable disease at baseline for specified category.

    End point description
    Duration of response in participants with CNS response was defined as time from 1st observation of CNS response (CR or PR) until 1st observation of CNS progression or death from any cause based on IRC review of radiographs by RANO criteria. Progression was defined by any of following: ≥ 25% increase in sum of products of diameters of measurable enhancing lesions compared to best response after initiation of therapy (nadir), or screening if screening was nadir value on stable or increasing doses of corticosteroids; significant increase in T2/FLAIR non-enhancing lesions not caused by co-morbid events on stable or increasing doses of corticosteroids; Any new lesions; Clear progression of enhancing non-measurable disease. Duration of response was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and 95% CI was assessed using Brookmeyer and Crowley method. Clinical deterioration not attributable to other non-tumour causes. Participants with measurable CNS lesions at baseline according to IRC were included

CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. PR was defined as ≥30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference screening sum diameters) and no progression of target lesions. Progression was defined as ≥20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study or absolute increase of at least 5 mm, progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesion. Duration of response was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and 95% CI was assessed using method of Brookmeyer and Crowley. Analysis was performed on Safety population.

CR was achieved if all of the following criteria met: Complete disappearance of all enhancing measurable and non-measurable disease; Stable or improved non-enhancing (T2/FLAIR) lesions; No new lesions; Participant must be off corticosteroids (or on physiologic replacement doses only), and clinically stable or improved. PR achieved if all of the following criteria met: at least 50% decrease compared with screening in SPD of measurable enhancing measurable lesions; No progression of non-measurable disease (enhancing and non-enhancing [T2/FLAIR] lesions); No new lesions; Participant must be off corticosteroids (or on physiologic replacement doses only), and clinically stable or improved.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    21 Dec 2012
    This purpose of this amendment was to remove exclusion criterion regarding use of anticoagulation or thrombolytic agent within 2 weeks prior to Day 1.
    28 May 2013
    To consolidate the country-specific Health Authorities’ requests that had been incorporated for Taiwan, Korea, Germany, France, United Kingdom, and Belgium. Addition of total testosterone, free testosterone, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) testing.

    To limit post-progression combination treatment (alectinib and erlotinib) in Part 3 of the study for participants with EGFR mutations to countries in which local health authorities and ethic committees permit it, following a request of the Spanish Health authority. To remove the restriction for the last dose of crizotinib to be within 60 days from the first dose of alectinib. This restriction was first put in place to avoid possible re-sensitization to crizotinib and ensure that all participants are true crizotinib-failure. However, this limitation was thought to potentially affect enrollment as it may not have allowed enough time for participants to progress on subsequent chemotherapy treatments. To update the permitted and prohibited medications based on the available drug drug interaction (DDI) information for alectinib with the intent to maintain the critical DDI restrictions to support appropriate use of alectinib for participants receiving concomitant medications while ensuring patients were able to receive critical concomitant medications needed to treat comorbid conditions.
