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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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
    Participants with previously untreated MET-positive NSCLC carrying an activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation were treated with onartuzumab plus erlotinib (versus placebo plus erlotinib) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the two-drug combination. The primary efficacy objective was to compare progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by the investigator.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in full conformance with the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) E6 guideline for Good Clinical Practice and the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, or the laws and regulations of the country in which the research was conducted, whichever afforded the greater protection to the individual. The study has complied with the requirements of the ICH E2A guideline (Clinical Safety Data Management: Definitions and Standards for Expedited Reporting). Study sites in the United States (US) or under a US Investigational New Drug application (IND) complied with US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations and applicable local, state, and federal laws. Studies conducted in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) complied with the EU Clinical Trial Directive (2001/20/EC).

    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression as determined by the investigator using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1) or death. Disease progression was defined as greater than or equal to (≥) 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study including Baseline. Endpoint data were to be analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methodology.

    End point description
    TTD was defined the time from Baseline to first increase (i.e. worsening) in lung cancer symptoms of cough, dyspnea, chest pain, or arm/shoulder pain. Symptom worsening was defined as a ≥10-point increase in the individual item score on the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) 30-Item Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) or EORTC 13-Item Lung Cancer Module (QLQ-LC13). Most questions from the QLQ-C30 and QLQ-LC13 use a 4-point scale (1 equals [=] 'not at all' to 4 = 'very much') except for two questions from the QLQ-C30 that use a 7-point scale (1 = 'very poor' to 7 = 'excellent'). Regardless, item scores are transformed to a scale from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate a greater degree of symptoms.

Most questions use a 4-point scale (1 equals [=] 'not at all' to 4 = 'very much') except for two questions that use a 7-point scale (1 = 'very poor' to 7 = 'excellent').

The 13 questions comprise one 3-item scale for dyspnea and ten single-item symptom and side effects scales (cough, hemoptysis, sore mouth, dysphagia, peripheral neuropathy, alopecia, chest pain, arm pain, other pain, and medicine for pain). Participants are asked to recall symptoms within the prior week. Questions use a 4-point scale (1 = 'not at all' to 4 = 'very much'). Item scores are transformed to a scale from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate a greater degree of symptoms.
