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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.

    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. The patient must have consented to participate and must have signed and dated an appropriate IRB/IEC-approved consent form to enter the study, for the optional procurement of tumor samples by a core biopsy procedure prior to randomization, and for submission of tumor and blood samples required for the FB-7 correlative science studies (see Section 7.1).
    2. Patients must be female.
    3. Patients must be > = 18 years old.
    4. The European Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status must be 0 or 1.
    5. Patients must have the ability to swallow oral medication.
    6. The diagnosis of invasive adenocarcinoma of the breast must have been made by core needle biopsy or by limited incisional biopsy.
    7. Patients must have estrogen receptor (ER) analysis performed on the primary tumor prior to randomization. If ER analysis is negative, then progesterone receptor (PgR) analysis must also be performed. Patients are eligible with either hormone receptor-positive or hormone receptor-negative tumors.
    8. Breast cancer must be determined to be HER2-positive prior to randomization. Assays using FISH or CISH require gene amplification. Assays using IHC require a strongly positive (3+) staining score.
    9. Clinical staging, based on the assessment by physical exam, must be AJCC stage IIB, IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC:
    - cT2 and cN1;
    - cT3 and cN0 or cN1;
    - Any cT and cN2 or cN3; or
    - cT4.
    10. The patient must have a mass in the breast or axilla measuring > = 2.0 cm by physical exam, unless the patient has inflammatory breast cancer, in which case measurable disease by physical exam is not required.
    11. At the time of randomization, blood counts performed within 4 weeks prior to randomization must meet the following criteria:
    - Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) must be > = 1200/mm3;
    - Platelet count must be > = 100,000/mm3;
    - Hemoglobin must be > = 10 g/dL;
    12. The following criteria for evidence of adequate hepatic function performed within 4 weeks prior to randomization must be met:
    - total bilirubin must be < = upper limit of normal (ULN) for the lab unless the patient has a bilirubin elevation > ULN to 1.5 x ULN due to Gilbert' s disease or similar syndrome involving slow conjugation of bilirubin; and
    - alkaline phosphatase must be < = 2.5 x ULN for the lab; and
    - aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) must be < = 1.5 x ULN for the lab.
    13. Patients with alkaline phosphatase > ULN but < = 2.5 x ULN are eligible for inclusion in the study if liver imaging (Computerized Tomography [CT], Magnetic Resonance Imaging [MRI], Positron Emission Tomography [PET], or PET-CT scan) performed within 4 weeks prior to randomization does not demonstrate metastatic disease and the requirements in Section 4.2.12 are met.
    14. Patients with either unexplained skeletal pain or alkaline phosphatase that is > ULN but < = 2.5 x ULN are eligible for inclusion in the study if a bone scan, PET-CT scan, or PET scan performed within 4 weeks prior to randomization does not demonstrate metastatic disease. Patients with suspicious findings on bone scan or PET scan are eligible if suspicious findings are determined to be benign by x-ray, MRI, or biopsy.

    16. The LVEF assessment by 2-D echocardiogram or MUGA scan performed within 90 days prior to randomization must be > = 50% regardless of the facility's lower limit of normal (LLN). Note: Since the pre-entry LVEF serves as the baseline for comparing subsequent LVEF assessments to determine if targeted therapy can be administered, it is critical that this baseline study be an accurate assessment of the patient's LVEF. If the baseline LVEF is > = 70%, the investigator is encouraged to have the accuracy of the initial LVEF result confirmed and to consider repeating the study if the accuracy is uncertain.
    17. Negative b-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) pregnancy test for premenopausal women of reproductive capacity (those who are biologically capable of having children) and for women less than 12 months after menopause.
    18. Women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) must agree and commit to use of a highly effective method of contraception, as determined to be acceptable by the investigator, from the time of informed consent until 28 days after the last dose of any investigational product.
    1.La paziente deve avere acconsentito a partecipare e aver firmato e datato un appropriato modulo di consenso approvato da IRB/IEC per accedere allo studio, per l'eventuale acquisizione di campioni tumorali con procedura di agobiopsia prima della randomizzazione, e per la presentazione di campioni tumorali e sanguigni necessari agli studi scientifici correlati del trial FB-7.
    2. I pazienti devono essere di sesso femminile.
    3.L'età delle pazienti deve essere > = 18 anni.
    4.Lo status di performance ECOG deve essere pari a 0 o 1.
    5.Le pazienti devono avere la capacità di deglutire farmaci per via orale.
    6.La diagnosi di adenocarcinoma invasivo della mammella deve essere stata eseguita tramite agobiopsia o biopsia incisionale limitata.
    7.Sulle pazienti deve essere eseguita l'analisi ER del tumore primario prima della randomizzazione. Se l'analisi del recettore degli estrogeni (ER) è negativa, allora va eseguita l'analisi del recettore dei progesteroni. (Sono ammesse pazienti con tumori sia positivi sia negativi per il recettore degli ormoni).
    8.Il tumore alla mammella deve essere classificato come HER2-positivo prima della randomizzazione. Gli esami che utilizzano ibridazione in situ fluorescente (FISH) o ibridazione in situ cromogenica (CISH) necessitano di amplificazione genica. Gli esami che utilizzano IHC richiedono un alto punteggio di marcatura (3+).
    9.La stadiazione clinica, sulla base della valutazione tramite esame fisico, deve essere IIB, IIIA, IIIB o IIIC secondo AJCC:
    -cT2 e cN1;
    -cT3 e c N0 o cN1;
    -Qualsiasi cT e cN2 o cN3; o
    -cT4
    10.Il paziente deve avere una massa nella mammella o ascella la cui misura sia > = 2,0 cm accertata con esame fisico, a meno che la paziente non abbia carcinoma mammario infiammatorio, nel qual caso non è richiesta malattia misurabile tramite esame fisico.
    11.Al momento della randomizzazione, i valori ematici misurati entro le 4 settimane precedenti la randomizzazione devono soddisfare i seguenti criteri:
    -La conta dei neutrofili (ANC) deve essere > = 1200/mm3
    -La conta piastrinica deve essere > = 100.000/mm3
    -L'emoglobina deve essere > = 10 g/dL
    12.Devono essere soddisfatti i seguenti criteri come prova di un'adeguata funzionalità epatica tramite esame eseguito entro le 4 settimane prima della randomizzazione:
    -la bilirubina totale deve essere < = limite superiore della norma (ULN) per il laboratorio a meno che la paziente non abbia un'elevazione della bilirubina > = ULN a 1,5xULN a causa della malattia di Gilbert o sindrome simile che comporti una lenta coniugazione della bilirubina; e
    -la fosfatasi alcalina deve essere < = 2,5xULN per il laboratorio; e
    -L'aspartato aminotransferasi (AST) e l'alanina aminotransferasi (ALT) devono essere < = 1,5xULN per il laboratorio.
    13.Le pazienti con fosfatasi alcalina > ULN ma < = 2,5xULN sono ammissibili allo studio se l'imaging del fegato (tomografia computerizzata [CT], risonanza magnetica [RM], tomografia a emissione di positroni [PET], o scansione PET-CT) eseguita entro le 4 settimane prima della randomizzazione non rivela malattia metastatica e sono soddisfatti i requisiti di cui al punto 4.2.12.
    14.Le pazienti affette da dolore scheletrico inspiegabile o con fosfatasi alcalina che sia > ULN ma < = 2,5xULN sono ammissibili allo studio se una scintigrafia ossea, una PET-CT o PET eseguite entro le 4 settimane precedenti la randomizzazione non rivelano una malattia metastatica. Le pazienti con ritrovamenti sospetti sulla scintigrafia ossea o sulla scansione PET sono ammissibili una volta determinato che i ritrovamenti sospetti sono di natura benigna tramite radiografia, risonanza magnetica o biopsia.
    15.La creatinina sierica misurata entro le 4 settimane prima della randomizzazione deve essere < = 1,5xULN per il laboratorio.
    16.La valutazione FEVS con ecocardiogramma 2-D o scansione MUGA eseguita nei 90 giorni prima della randomizzazione deve essere > = 50%, a prescindere dall'LLN della struttura.
    Nota: Dal momento che la FEVS precedente l'ingresso serve come basale per il confronto delle successive valutazioni FEVS per determinare se la terapia mirata possa essere somministrata, è fondamentale che questo studio basale sia una valutazione accurata della FEVS della paziente. Se il basale FEVS è > = 70%, si sollecita il ricercatore a confermare la precisione del risultato FEVS iniziale e a valutare la necessità di ripetere lo studio se la precisione è incerta.
    17.Test di gravidanza negativo per β-gonadotropina corionica umana (hCG) per donne in pre-menopausa con capacità riproduttiva (quelle biologicamente in grado di avere figli) e per donne che hanno raggiunto la menopausa da meno di 12 mesi.
    18.Le donne in età fertile devono accettare di sottoporsi all'assunzione di un metodo molto efficace di contraccezione, come giudicato accettabile dal ricercatore, dal momento del consenso informato fino a 28 giorni dopo l'ultima dose di qualsiasi prodotto sperimentale.
