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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate that palbociclib in combination with exemestane is superior to capecitabine in prolonging Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in postmenopausal women with HR positive/HER2 negative MBC whose disease was resistant to non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors.

    Histologic grade
    Cancer cells are given a Grade (G) when they are removed from the breast and checked under a microscope. The G is based on how much the cancer cells look like normal cells. G1 or well differentiated (score 3, 4, or 5): cells are slower-growing, and look more like normal breast tissue. G2 or moderately differentiated (score 6, 7): cells are growing at a speed of and look like cells somewhere between G1 and 3. G3 or poorly differentiated (score 8, 9): cells look very different from normal and will probably grow and spread faster.

    		 Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [1]
    End point description
    The primary efficacy variable is PFS based on the investigator’s assessment. PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease based on the investigator’s assessment, using RECIST version 1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Estrogen Receptor 1 (ESR1) mutational status will be determined in circulating free DNA (cDNA) obtained from. Disease assessments will be performed at baseline and every 8 weeks (± 7 days) from the start of treatment and every 12 weeks (±7 days) after 120 weeks of treatment baseline plasma samples and will be prospectively determined before the interims or final analyses. ESR1 mutational status will be blinded to the patients, investigators and study team.

    Notes
    [1] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: Primary objectives are to demonstrate that the combination of palbociclib-fulvestrant is superior to capecitabine in prolonging PFS and to demostrate that palbociclib in combination with endocrine therapy (exemestane or fulvestrant) is superior to capecitabine in prolonging PFS in wild type patients.

The questionnaire employs 28 4 point Likert scales with responses from “not at all” to “very much” and 2 7 point Likert scales for global health and overall QOL. For functional and global QOL scales, higher scores represent a better level of functioning and are converted to a 0 to 100 scale. For symptom oriented scales, a higher score represents more severe symptoms. Patients completed EORTC QLQ-C30 (v3.0) at baseline, at every two cycles for the first seven cycles, then at every three cycles until the end of treatment, and once again at the visit after treatment.

    EQ 5D (version 3L) is a 6 item instrument which assess health status in terms of a single index value. It consists of 5 descriptors of current health state (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression); a patient is asked to rate each state on a 3 level scale (1=no problem, 2=some problem, and 3=extreme problem) with higher levels indicating greater severity/impairment. It also includes a visual analogue scale, EQ VAS, which records patient’s self-rated health on a scale from 0 (worst imaginable) to 100 (best imaginable). Published weights are available that allow for the creation of a single summary score. Overall scores range from 0 to 1, with low scores representing a higher level of dysfunction and 1 as perfect health. EQ 5D questionnaires were completed at baseline, at every two cycles for the first seven cycles, then at every three cycles until the end of treatment, and once again at the visit after treatment.

    End point description
    Time to deterioration is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first detection of deterioration for each EORTC QLQ-C30 subscales, the global health status/QOL score, and for each QLQ-BR23 score [(date of first detection of deterioration – date of randomization + 1). Deterioration is defined as a change from baseline ≥ minimally important difference (MID) for EORTC QLQ-C30 symptom scores and QLQ-BR23 score and as a change from baseline ≤ -MID for EORTC QLQ-C30 functional scales, global health status/QOL score. Patients without deterioration have been censored at their last quality of life assessment. For patients with no post-baseline assessment time to deterioration have been censored at Day 1.
