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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 assess the efficacy of two different weekly dosing regimens of Sym004 compared with Investigator`s choice in terms of overall survival time in subjects with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and acquired resistance to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Prophylactic and reactive treatment guidelines for skin management were implemented in this trial to reduce the incidence of severe rash. Based on data derived from randomized controlled trials using this approach (e.g., Skin Toxicity Evaluation Protocol with Panitumumab [STEPP] trial), it was anticipated that the incidence of Grade 3 rash would be reduced by these measures. Subjects receiving Sym004 were monitored weekly for hypomagnesemia, and intravenous replacement treatment was instituted twice weekly for Grade 3 and Grade 4 toxicity. Premedication to avoid or minimize infusion-related reactions (IRRs) to Sym004 was mandated during the treatment period. The subjects were monitored for at least 1 hour post-infusion.

    OS based on product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) estimates. Confidence intervals for the median are calculated according to Brookmeyer and Crowley. If a subject had not died, survival time was censored at the last date the subject was known to be alive. The analysis population was the intent-to-treat (ITT) subpopulation, which includes all subjects who were randomized to investigational medicinal product (IMP). Analyses performed on the ITT analysis set will take into account subjects’ allocation to treatment groups as randomized and not as treated.

    		 Best Overall Response (OR) According to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)
    End point description
    Tumor assessments were done via CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and evaluated per RECIST v1.1. The assessment for measurable disease during screening (within 14 days prior to Day 1) acts as the baseline assessment. Best OR was summarized for each treatment group by means of counts and percentages for the following categories: Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions), Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions), Progressive Disease (PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions), Stable Disease (SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD) or Not Evaluable (NE). The analysis population was the ITT subpopulation, which includes all subjects who were randomized to IMP. Analyses performed on the ITT analysis set will take into account subjects allocation to treatment group as randomized and not as treated.

    End point description
    AEs were coded according to the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) classification. The incidence and type of AEs (i.e., serious AE [SAE], treatment-emergent AE [TEAE]) were summarized by dose cohort according to MedDRA system organ classes and preferred terms. An AE was considered as treatment-emergent if it occurred during or after the first IMP administration. An AE that occurred before the first IMP administration and worsened thereafter was also considered an AE. Worsening was reported as a new AE. The analysis population was the safety analysis subpopulation, which includes all subjects who were administered any dose of IMP, and in addition those subjects in Arm C for which the intended control treatment is BSC. Subjects will be analyzed as treated and not as randomized.

    End point description
    The Sym004 serum concentration used for the PK evaluation was calculated as the sum of the serum concentrations of the 2 component monoclonal antibodies of Sym004, futuximab and modotuximab. Trough Concentration (Ctrough) is equivalent to the concentration collected at the pre-dose timepoint. Maximum Concentration (Cmax) is equivalent to the concentration collected at the end of infusion (EOI) timepoint. The analysis population was the PK analysis set. Bioanalysis for serum concentration was done for a subset of subjects (N=19) at all scheduled timepoints; it was carried out only at Weeks 3, 5, 7 and the End of Treatment visit (EOT) for all other subjects. Additionally, the Week 1 Day 1 EOI concentration for Subject 2740012 was assessed.

    End point description
    Tmax was defined as the time the PK sample was taken at end of infusion (EOI) relative to the start time of infusion (i.e., time between the start of infusion and the time of the EOI sample). For presentation of individual PK parameters and calculation of mean parameters, half of the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) value was used for concentration values below the LLOQ. The Sym004 serum concentration used for the PK evaluation was calculated as the sum of the serum concentrations of the 2 component monoclonal antibodies of Sym004 (futuximab and modotuximab). The analysis population was the PK analysis set, defined as subjects having at least 1 Sym004 serum concentration above the LLOQ. Exposure to Sym004 was confirmed in the majority of subjects treated with Sym004 for at least 1 timepoint post-dose.

    		 Host Immune Response: Number of Subjects With Anti-drug Antibodies (ADAs) to Sym004 Over Time
    End point description
    A validated double antigen bridging ELISA was used for screening, confirmation, and titration of patient samples for anti-Sym004 ADA. Using rabbit anti-Sym004 as an ADA control antibody, the lower limit of detection was 54 ng/mL in the absence of Sym004 and 500 ng/mL in the presence of Sym004 at 5 μg/mL The timepoints for ADA sampling were chosen by the original sponsor for this trial. After the trial was transferred to Symphogen A/S, it was determined that not all samples were necessary for analysis. This is why the collection time points specified in the timeframe do not match with the data table. The analysis population was the safety analysis subpopulation, which includes all subjects who were administered any dose of IMP. Subjects will be analyzed as treated and not as randomized.

    End point description
    Scale: European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (Version 3) [QLQ-C30, Version 3]. The QLQ-C30 is a 30-question scale used to assess cancer patients' quality of life based on 15 factors (e.g., global health status, physical functioning, role functioning, etc.). The scale is composed of both multi-item scales and single item measures. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100: • A high score for a functional scale represents a healthy level of functioning. • A high score for the global health status represents a high quality of life. • A high score for a symptom scale/item represents a high level of symptomatology (problems). This measure was self-reported. Numbers analyzed between Week 1 and Week 7 differ from each other, as well from the overall number of subjects analyzed. Data could not be collected from subjects not compliant with reporting or once discontinued.

The QLQ-CR29 is a 29-question scale used to assess colorectal cancer patients' quality of life based on 22 factors (e.g., body image, anxiety, weight, etc.). The scale is composed of both multi-item scales and single-item measures. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100: • A high score for a functional scale/item represents an unhealthy level of functioning, with the exception of one (1) scale pertaining to sexual interest (separated by sex). • A high score for a symptom scale/item represents a high level of symptomatology (problems). This measure was self-reported. Numbers analyzed between Week 1 and Week 7 differ from each other, as well from the overall number of subjects analyzed. Data could not be collected from subjects not compliant with reporting or once discontinued.

    		 Quality of Life Assessed by FACT-EGFRI-18 for Skin Rash
    End point description
    Scale: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitor 18 (FACT-EGFRI-18). The FACT-EGFRI-18 is an 18-question scale used to assess EGFR-inhibitor-treated cancer patients' quality of life relative to their experience of skin rash based on three (3) multi-item subscales. The subscales combined (i.e., Symptom Index) range in score from 0 to 72. A higher score represents a high level of symptomatology (problems). High scores for all subscales represent a worse outcome: • The Physical subscale ranges in score from 0 to 28. • The Social/Emotional subscale ranges in score from 0 to 24. • The Functional subscale ranges in score from 0 to 20. This measure was self-reported. Numbers analyzed between Week 1 and Week 4 differ from each other, as well from the overall number of subjects analyzed. Data could not be collected from subjects not compliant with reporting or once discontinued.

    		 Overall Survival (OS) Time for Patients in Europe + United States With Double-Negative mCRC (EU+US DNmCRC)
    End point description
    This endpoint is exploratory. Because of the unanticipated long OS in the control group, initial exploratory subgroup analyses identified that findings in patients enrolled in Russia differed when compared with patients enrolled in the ITT subpopulation and the EU+US subpopulation. For this reason, subjects in Russia were excluded from further exploratory subset analyses that evaluated the effects of genomic parameters known to impact patient responses to anti-EGFR mAbs. Removal of the outlier Russian patients provided a patient population that was more homogeneous with respect to their prior treatment regimens, thereby facilitating further exploratory analyses. If a subject had not died, survival time was censored at the last date the subject was known to be alive. The analysis population was the EU+US DNmCRC analysis set, which is a genomically-defined subpopulation excluding patients with high frequency clonal RAS mutations and BRAF V600E mutations.

    Date
    Amendment
    20 Dec 2013
    Amendment 1: Extended the planned end of trial date. Added pregnancy testing during screening and treatment periods. Revised the IDMC meeting frequency and responsibilities. Removed stratification by intended treatment (Best Supportive Care vs. active anticancer treatment) and required subjects to be randomized in the ratio of 1:1:1 to Sym004 Arms A and B and the control group. Removed biweekly dosage and the option for an 18 mg/kg dose per application (i.e., dose). Added subject monitoring for 1 hour post-infusion. Revised dose reduction rules/added dose reduction for Sym004-induced reactions (rash, xerosis, paronychia, pruritus, and photosensitivity). Removed tumor node metastases staging at trial entry.

    Interruptions (globally)
    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats
    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Considering the hypothesis-generating nature of a phase 2 clinical trial, the intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis should be viewed as the starting point of a scientific investigation process, not the final conclusion.
