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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the individual outcome of patients with advanced malignancies, by comparing the progression-free survival (PFS) using a treatment regimen selected by a molecular analysis of a patient?s tumor with the PFS for the most recent regimen on which the patient had experienced progression - ARM A : PFS2/PFS1 >1.5 in 50% of patients - ARM B : PFS2/PFS1 >1.5 in 40% of patients
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients had a fresh biopsy of tumor and corresponding normal tissue after they enrolled in the study, and these biopsies were used for the genomic and transcriptomic assays, which determined the tretament

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The patients were accrued at four centers located in four countries: Spain, Israel, France and Canada, from April 2013 to December 2015. Patients had advanced cancers that had progressed on standard treatment.

    Screening details
    Consented patients underwent a dual biopsy from the metastasis and from the histologically matched normal tissue

    DNA screening
    Arm description
    Tumor specimens collected for tissue NGS analysis were sent directly to Foundation Medicine. The FoundationOne genomic assay (http://www.foundationone.com/) (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Assessment-approved standards) assessed genetic alterations from the entire coding sequence of 236 cancer-related genes, plus rearrangements found in introns of an additional 28 cancer-related genes. Equivocal amplification in this assay refers to copy number 6 or 7, whereas amplification means copy number ≥8 (except for ERBB2, for which equivocal amplification means copy number 5 or 6 and amplification means copy number ≥7). To be reported by the FoundationOne assay, specific alterations must have been identifiable in at least 10% of tumor DNA and a sequencing coverage of 500 ×

    All patients included in the study, whatever the status of their DNA analysis, had an analysis of their transcriptome attempted. But, per protocol, the transcriptomic information was only considered for navigation to a therapy in cases that had no match found or therapy available per arm A (DNA). The drug selection in arm B is based on the biological characteristics of the tumor of the individual to be treated in comparison to a normal sample from the same individual. Based on a score calculated (examining deregulated target genes), the match between genes deregulated to a literature-derived knowledge base of gene-drug-directed connections, the relative efficacy of the drugs was predicted for the individual.

    Assay was only considered as a Clinical Trial in Spain. So only data are available in this country on adverse events. No non-seriuos events were reported.

    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: Given the status of patients, all the detected adverse events were considered as serious.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Patients had heavily pretreated disease, which may have limited capacity for response. Number of patients per arm was small. Trial was not designed to compare arms. Participating centers were located over a wide geographical territory.
