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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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.

    An open-label, single-arm phase IV study to assess the efficacy and safety of afatinib as second-line therapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbouring an Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation (Del19 or L858R) who have failed first-line treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The objective of this single-arm, open-label trial was to assess the efficacy and safety of afatinib as second-line treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbouring an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation (Del19 and/or L858R) who had failed first-line platinumbased chemotherapy.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were to be entered in the study. All subjects were free to withdraw from the clinical trial at any time for any reason given. Close monitoring of all subjects was adhered to throughout the trial conduct. Rescue medication was allowed for all patients as required.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    An open-label, single-arm phase IV, a total of 70 patients were enrolled by multinational trial at 24 sites in 7 countries. Of the 70 enrolled patients, 60 patients were entered the trial and 60 were treated.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    All patients were screened for eligibility to participate in the trial. Subjects attended specialist sites which would then ensure that all subjects met all inclusion/exclusion criteria. Subjects were not to be entered to trial treatment if any one of the specific entry criteria were not met.

    Arm description
    All patients received continuous daily treatment with Afatinib at a starting dose of 40 miligram (mg), treatment interruption and reduction scheme to 30 mg and then to 20 mg were permitted to manage treatment-related adverse events (AEs). Patients were orally administered with the film coated tablet once a day without food.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Baseline characteristics are based on patients who were randomized after successfully completing the screening period and received at least one dose of the trial medication.
