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   44335   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of the trial is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of alectinib compared to crizotinib in patients with treatment-naive anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive advanced non−small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as measured by investigator assessed progression-free survival (PFS).
    Protection of trial subjects
    All study subjects were required to read and sign an Informed Consent Form.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study recruited treatment-naive subjects with Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-positive advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) in 29 countries from August 2014 to January 2016.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 303 subjects were randomized at the time of clinical cut-off (CCO) date and included in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population; 152 participants in the alectinib arm and 151 participants in the crizotinib arm.

    End point description
    CNS DOR was defined as the time from when response (CR or PR) was first documented to first documented disease progression or death, whichever occurred first. DOR was evaluated for participants who had a best overall response (BOR) of CR or PR. 99999 = The value is not available because it had not been reached at the time of data cutoff date (9 Feb 2017).

    End point description
    The EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire consisted of 30 questions generating five functional scores (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social); a global health status/global quality of life scale score; three symptom scale scores (fatigue, pain, and nausea and vomiting); and six stand alone one-item scores that capture additional symptoms (dyspnea, appetite loss, sleep disturbance, constipation, and diarrhea) and perceived financial burden. All the scales and single-item scores were linearly transformed so that each score ranged from 0 to 100. A higher score on the global health and functioning subscales is indicative of better functioning.

    HRQoL by EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire LC13 Score Coughing
    End point description
    The EORTC QLQ-LC13 module generated one multiple-item scale score assessing dyspnea and a series of single item scores assessing chest pain, arm/shoulder pain, pain in other parts, coughing, sore mouth, dysphagia, peripheral neuropathy, alopecia, and hemoptysis. All the scales and single-item scores were linearly transformed so that each score ranged from 0 to 100. A higher score on the global health and functioning subscales is indicative of better functioning.

    Percentage of Participants with PFS event by IRC
    End point description
    PFS was assessed as percentage of participants with disease progression or death whichever occurred first by IRC assessment using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 (v1.1) Criteria. As per RECIST v1.1, disease progression is a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, an increase in size of measurable lesions by at least 5 mm and the appearance of new lesions.

    Percentage of Participants with Deterioration by EORTC Quality Of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (C30)
    End point description
    The EORTC QLQ-30 module generated one multiple-item scale score assessing dyspnea and a series of single item scores assessing chest pain, arm/shoulder pain, pain in other parts, coughing, sore mouth, dysphagia, peripheral neuropathy, alopecia, and hemoptysis. All the scales and single-item scores were linearly transformed so that each score ranged from 0 to 100. A higher score on the global health and functioning subscales is indicative of better functioning. Confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration in global health status or function is defined as a >or=10-point decrease from baseline in a symptom score that must be held for at least two consecutive assessments or an initial >or=10-point decrease from baseline followed by death within 5 weeks from the last assessment.
