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   43881   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7295   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
    to evaluate the rate of pathologic complete response (pCR), as defined as complete disappearance of invasive tumor in breast and axillary nodes
    Protection of trial subjects
    The conduct of this clinical study met all local legal and regulatory requirements. The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guideline E6: Good Clinical Practice (GCP). As applicable according to local regulations, the protocol and all protocol amendments were reviewed and approved by Italian Competent Authority AIFA.

    Dosage and administration details
    Pertuzumab was administered as an intravenous infusion on Day 1 of the first treatment cycle as a loading dose of 840 mg. The following 4 courses were administered at the dose of 420 mg on Day 1 every 3 weeks. Initial infusions of pertuzumab was administered over 60 (± 10) minutes and patients observed for 60 minutes from the end of infusion for infusion-related symptoms such as fever, chills, hypotension, shortness of breath, skin rash, headache, nausea and/or vomiting. Interruption or slowing of the infusion could be made to reduce such symptoms. If the infusion was well tolerated, subsequent infusions could be administered over 30 to 60 (± 10) minutes, with patients observed for a further 30 minutes.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    15 Jan 2014
    Amendment 1, dated 15 Jan 2014, was implemented due to administrative reasons (adding of one clinical centre and change of one local PI) and to accomplish with the Competent Authority suggestions. This amendement specified the following modifications: In the paragraph 5.6 Pre-study, concomitant, and post-study treatment(s), the text: “Any oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception” was changed with “Hormonal replacement therapy” - In the paragraph 6.3 “LVEF ≤ 50%” was changed with “LVEF ≤ 45%” - Pertuzumab and trastuzumab could be administered on the same day (day 1) if no reactions at cycle 1 for the following 4 cycles. - The centre of Vicenza was added and the PI of the Milan INT centre was changed from prof. De Braud to dr Giulia Bianchi
    01 Jul 2016
    Amendment 2, dated 01 July 2016, was implemented to prolong the recruitment period of the study due to the trend registered until then that was slower than expected. Moreover, there were some changes in the participating centres. A new version of the pertuzumab IB was implemented. This amendement specified the following modifications: - Recruitment period prolonged from 24 to 44 months - Estimated date of last subject completed from March 2016 to October 2017 - Changes in the number and list of participating centres: from 12 to 10 clinical centres. Aviano and Trento were added, Pisa and Candiolo were excluded. - Investigator’s Brochure of Perejeta Ed. 14_02/2015 was implemented
    01 Jun 2017
    Amendment 3, dated 01 June 2017, was implemented to further prolong the recruitment period of the study. Moreover, there was an update in the translational section of the study, with some changes in the planned analyses. A new version of the pertuzumab IB was implemented. Finally, some administrative changes were implemented, change of the sponsor legal representative amd changes in the participating centres. This amendement specified the following modifications: - Change of legal representative of the sponsor from prof. Conte to dr Bengala - Recruitment period prolonged from 44 to 52 months - Change of the estimated date of last subject completed from October 2017 to May 2018 - Changes in the translational biomarker analyses eliminating the analysis of pAKT and adding a panel of other relevant cancer-realted genes, pTEN, tumor infiltrating lymphocytes - Changes in the list of the participating centres: Verona e Vicenza were excluded. Change of the PI of Udine from dr Puglisi to dr Russo - Investigator’s Brochure of Perejeta Ed. 16_02/2017 was implemented
