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

    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Male or female age ≥ 18 years with histologically confirmed diagnosis of melanoma and stage IIIB to IVM1c for whom surgery in not recommended. . Subjects must have measurable disease and be a candidate for intralesional therapy administration into cutaneous, subcutaneous, or nodal lesions. Subjects must have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1, and adequate hematologic, hepatic, renal, and coagulation function.

    Subjects enrolled in phase 1b must be treatment naïve (i.e., must not have received any prior systemic anticancer treatment consisting of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy) given in a non-adjuvant setting for unresectable stage IIIB to IVM1c melanoma.
    Subjects who received prior adjuvant therapy for melanoma will not be excluded (including, but not limited to, radiotherapy, interferon, limb infusion/perfusion, or use of investigational agents in the adjuvant setting) with the exception that prior adjuvant therapy with inhibitors of PD-1 or PD-L1 is not allowed. However, if the subject received adjuvant therapy, the subject must have completed therapy at least 3 months prior to enrolment.

    Subjects enrolled in phase 3 with BRAFV600 wild-type tumors must not have received any prior systemic anticancer treatment consisting of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy given in a non-adjuvant setting for unresectable stage IIIB to IVM1c melanoma.

    Subjects enrolled in phase 3 with serine/threonine protein kinase B-Raf V600 (BRAFV600) mutated tumors who have received prior BRAF inhibitor therapy either alone or in combination with MEK inhibitor as their only prior systemic therapy are eligible for the
    phase 3 of this study. At the discretion of the investigator, subjects with BRAFV600 mutant melanoma or unknown BRAFV600 mutation status who have not received a BRAF inhibitor are also eligible for the phase 3 of this study as first-line treatment if they meet the following criteria: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) < upper limit of normal (ULN), no clinically significant tumor related symptoms, and absence of rapidly progressing metastatic melanoma. Subjects who received prior adjuvant therapy for melanoma will not be excluded (including, but not limited to, interferon, ipilimumab, limb infusion/perfusion, or use of investigational agents in the adjuvant setting). However, if the subject received adjuvant therapy, the subject must have completed therapy at least 28 days prior to enrollment.
    Subjects must have a tumor sample (archival sample or newly obtained biopsy) that is adequate for PD-L1 assessment prior to randomization.
    Soggetti di sesso maschile o femminile, di età ≥18 anni, con diagnosi istologicamente confermata di melanoma di stadio da IIIB a IVM1c, per i quali non è raccomandato l’intervento chirurgico. I soggetti devono presentare malattia misurabile ed essere candidati alla somministrazione intralesionale del farmaco all’interno di lesioni cutanee, sottocutanee o nodulari. I soggetti devono presentare un performance status ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) pari a 0 o 1 e un’adeguata funzionalità ematologica, epatica, renale e coagulativa.
    Solo nella Fase 1b:
    I soggetti arruolati nella fase 1b devono essere naïve al trattamento (ovvero, non devono essere stati in precedenza trattati con terapie antitumorali sistemiche, quali chemioterapia, immunoterapia o terapia mirata per il melanoma non resecato di stadio da IIIB a IVM1c) somministrato in un regime non-adiuvante per melanoma non resecabile di stadio da IIIB a IVM1c. I soggetti sottoposti a una pregressa terapia adiuvante per il melanoma non saranno esclusi (comprese, ma non limitato a, radioterapia, terapia con interferone, l’infusione/perfusione d’arto o l’uso di agenti sperimentali nel setting adiuvante) con l'eccezione che una precedente terapia adiuvante con inibitori di PD-1 o PD-L1 non è permessa. Tuttavia, se sottoposti a terapia adiuvante, i soggetti dovranno aver completato la terapia almeno 3 mesi prima dell’arruolamento. soggetti arruolati nella fase 3 con tumori BRAFV600 wild-type non devono essere stati in precedenza trattati con terapie antitumorali sistemiche, quali chemioterapia, immunoterapia o terapia mirata somministrata in un regime non adiuvante per il melanoma non resecato di stadio da IIIB a IVM1c. I soggetti arruolati nella fase 3 con tumori serina/treonina protein-chinasi BRAFV600 mutati, precedentemente trattati con BRAF-inibitori in monoterapia o in combinazione con un MEK-inibitore come unica terapia sistemica pregressa sono eleggibili per la fase 3 di questo studio. A discrezione dello sperimentatore, saranno eleggibili per la fase 3 di questo studio, come terapia di prima linea, anche i soggetti affetti da melanoma con mutazione BRAFV600 o con stato mutazionale BRAFV600 ignoto non sottoposti a terapia con un BRAF-inibitore se rispondono ai seguenti criteri: LDH < ULN (cioè al di sotto del limite superiore di normalità), nessun sintomo clinicamente significativo correlato al tumore e assenza di melanoma metastatico in rapida progressione. I soggetti sottoposti a una pregressa terapia adiuvante per il melanoma non saranno esclusi (comprese, ma non limitato a, terapia con interferone, ipilimumab, l’infusione/perfusione d’arto o l’uso di agenti sperimentali nel setting adiuvante) con l'eccezione che una precedente terapia adiuvante con inibitori di PD-1 o PD-L1 non è permessa. Tuttavia, se sottoposti a terapia adiuvante, i soggetti dovranno aver completato la terapia almeno 28 giorni prima dell’arruolamento. I soggetti devono disporre di un campione tumorale (presente in archivio o da nuova biopsia) adeguato per la valutazione del PD-L1 prima della randomizzazione.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria

The timing of the primary analyses for PFS and OS of phase 3 will be triggered when 407 PFS events and 348 OS events have occurred, respectively.

    End of Trial: The time when the last subject is assessed or receives an intervention for evaluation in the study. The end of study will occur when the last subject discontinues the study treatment and has had the opportunity to complete the safety follow-up visit or
    the long-term survival follow-up, whichever is later.
    Completamento primario: quando l’ultimo soggetto è valutato o riceve un intervento per la raccolta finale di dati per l’analisi primaria di fase 3. Il completamento primario avviene quando all’incirca 348 decessi si saranno verificati nella fase 3.
    Fine dello studio: quando l’ultimo soggetto è valutato o riceve un intervento di valutazione per lo studio. La fine dello studio si verificherà quando l’ultimo soggetto discontinuerà il trattamento e avrà completato le visite di follow up di safety o il long-term follow up di sopravvivenza, a seconda di quello che si verifica più tardi.
