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   43846   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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
    PRIMARY OBJECTIVE The primary objective was to explore the effect of adding DCVAC/OvCa to chemotherapy on progression-free survival in women with ovarian cancer who experienced relapse >6 months after complete remission following platinum (Pt)-based first-line chemotherapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES • Overall survival • Objective response rate • Biological progression-free interval • Immune response • Safety • Changes in quality of life
    Protection of trial subjects

    Background therapy
    All patients were to receive chemotherapy with carboplatin and gemcitabine in 3-week cycles. On day 1 of each cycle, carboplatin area under the curve (AUC) 4-5 and gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 were to be administered, and on day 8 gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 was to be administered. A total of 6, 8, or 10 cycles of chemotherapy were to be completed as per investigators’ decision. Chemotherapy was to be started within 7 days after leukapheresis for patients in treatment group A or within 2 weeks after randomization for patients in treatment group B.

    Intention-to-treat
    Subject analysis set description
    The intention-to-treat (ITT) population consisted of all randomized patients regardless of whether they received treatment or not; however, patients randomized to treatment group A who failed to receive at least 1 dose of DCVAC/OvCa were to be replaced. More correctly, this is how a modified ITT population is defined; however, we referred to this population as to the ITT population.

    Per protocol
    Subject analysis set description
    The per protocol (PP) population consisted of all randomized patients who received at least 3 cycles of ChT and, for treatment group A, 8 doses of DCVAC/OvCa, did not violate any inclusion criteria, and did not have any major protocol deviations. Before database lock, all protocol deviations were reviewed, and for each patient it was determined whether he belonged to the PP population or not.

    Immune response
    End point description
    The relationship between i) baseline levels of antibodies and T lymphocytes specific to NY-ESO-1 and MAGE-A1 and ii) the clinical endpoints progression-free survival and overall survival was explored by using a Cox proportional hazard regression model. This analysis did not indicate any statistically significant link between baseline levels of the immune parameters and the clinical endpoints. The relationship between the levels of antibodies and T lymphocytes specific to NY-ESO-1 and MAGE-A1 after DCVAC/OvCa administration and the clinical endpoints progression-free survival and overall survival was explored by a case-by-case review of patients’ data. A correlation between the immune response after DCVAC/OvCa administration and the clinical endpoints was observed in 2 patients.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    From the study treatment start date/time to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment (DCVAC/OvCa or chemotherapy). Only 1 occurrence per patient per System Organ Class and Preferred Term is counted. PD-related AEs were not reportable per protocol.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    AEs were reported until 30 days after the last administration of DCVAC/OvCa (treatment group A) and until 30 days after the last dose of chemotherapy (treatment group B). Therefore, the reporting period differed significantly between the treatment groups (median duration 360 days in treatment group A and 150 days in treatment group B).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    20 Aug 2013
    Specification of the application site (groin and axillary areas) for DCVAC/OvCa; specification of ChT toxicity management based on institutional standards or applicable national/European oncology guidelines; specification of pretreatment assessment of infection markers, if required by local/national regulations; correction of scheduling the leukapheresis procedure and prolongation of the time frame for the transport of the cells harvested during the leukapheresis procedure to the processing facility; specification of time points of the follow-up clinic visits and CA125 assessment.
    21 Nov 2013
    Specification of methods of contraception (exclusion criterion 13); added justification of the DCVAC/OvCa dose; added definition of slow progressive disease; added information about continuation of DCVAC/OvCa administration after disease progression; specification that not only the medications must be recorded, but the doses taken/administered as well; added information regarding using a historical heart and lung X ray scan obtained prior to study entry; specification of the exclusion criterion 6 (previous or concurrent radiotherapy to the abdomen and pelvis).
    24 Feb 2014
    Prolongation of screening period from originally up to 2 weeks to up to 4 weeks; specification of the follow-up period including definition of the EoT visit, efficacy follow-up, and survival follow up; specification of methods of contraception (exclusion criterion 13); change of inclusion criterion 3 (radiologically confirmed relapse after >6 months of remission (Pt-sensitive patients) to be found instead of originally up 2 to up to 4 weeks prior to study entry); changed the AE reporting period; definition and collection of SADRs; added determination of the sample size; added specification for patients’ replacement.
    20 May 2014
    Change in randomization (to be performed within 4 weeks after screening instead of 2 weeks after screening); change in inclusion criteria 2 and 10 and in exclusion criteria 1 and 2; chest X-ray may be replaced by CT of thorax at the investigator’s decision; central reading no longer needed for evaluation of a patient’s eligibility; specification that pregnant women must pass the EoT visit; correction in follow-up procedures in the Schedule of assessments; an independent blinded radiologist to evaluate CT/MRI scans for sensitivity analyses of PFS and ORR.
    02 Aug 2016
    Prolongation of the overall study duration by approximately 2 years as caused by extension of survival follow-up; the study is to be terminated after a sufficient number of events have been observed to evaluate mature OS. The main goal is that at least 50% of the total evaluable patients should have had a survival event. However, longer survival follow-up can be decided if deemed medically/statistically appropriate at the time of reaching the median survival (for the total group of patients in the study, i.e., without any separate study arm analysis). The item will be discussed with the trial SC (main investigators from the clinical trials SOV01, SOV02, SOV03, and a representative for the Polish sites) and the trial DMC for their recommendation to the sponsor regarding the length of the survival follow-up. Change in the frequency of telephone contacts during the survival follow-up period from 12 weeks to 6 months. Central reading of CT/MRI scans is to be considered only in case of a positive outcome of the analyses of the local evaluations or in case of a deemed need for health authority interactions. Addition of information on pharmacogenomics studies on research samples, which is relevant only for the Czech Republic (for operational reasons). (Pharmacogenomics research was approved as an addendum to the Protocol, version 4.1, in the Czech Republic. The sponsor added the already approved wording to the relevant part of the Protocol).
