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   43861   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The principal research objective for Cohort 1 was to find out whether CT327 (an ointment with a drug called a TRK inhibitor in it) is a safe treatment for patients with CYLD defective tumours (lumps). The results for Cohort 1 are in the summary attachment. The principal research objective for Cohort 2 was to investigate whether CYLD defective tumours (lumps) respond to CT327.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial involved an independent data monitoring committee to provide overall supervision for the trial on behalf of the Trial Sponsor and Trial Funder and to safeguard the interests of trial participants, monitor the main outcome measures including safety and efficacy, and monitor the overall conduct of the trial.
    Background therapy
    No Background therapy used by all subjects.
    Evidence for comparator
    There are no known effective medical alternatives to treat this condition.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    CYLD mutation carrier patients known to the clinical genetics and dermatology department in Newcastle will be reviewed by the clinical team to verify that they meet the trial inclusion criteria. Patients were either approached during a routine outpatient appointment or written to and invited to attend a clinical appointment to discuss the trial.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Inclusion criteria was checked and patients were assessed to ensure they had an appropriate tumour scheduled for routine excision, which was not ulcerated. Once written informed consent was obtained patients would undergo the trial specific screening which was a urine based pregnancy test for Female patients of child bearing age.

    Randomisation was at the per patient level randomising active and placebo treatments to left or right sided application. Patients and investigators were blinded to the treatment allocation. Those responsible for tumour volume measurements, histology assessments and molecular analysis were also blinded. Participants randomised to arm A received active treatment on the 5 tumours on the left hand side of the body whereas participants randomised to Arm B received active treatment on the right side.

    Arm description
    In cohort 2, active and placebo trial medication was provided at baseline and visit 4 to supply enough ointment for the 12 week period. Active medication contained CT327 at 0.5%w/w. Each participant pack of active medication or placebo was presented as a 20g glass jar. Tumours on one half of the body with active CT327 and the other half of the body with placebo according to the randomisation allocation for a 12 week period. Participants randomised to arm A received active treatment on the 5 tumours located on the left hand side. The 5 tumours on the right hand side received placebo treatment. Participants randomised to Arm B received active treatment on the 5 tumours located on the right hand side of the body. The 5 tumours on the left hand side received placebo treatment. The Investigator, study team and trial management team were blinded to which side the participants received active treatment vs placebo treatment.

    Patients were allocated both active and placebo treatments to be applied randomly to tumours on their left or right side (Group1: L=active; R=placebo, Group 2: L=placebo; R=active). In cohort 2 active and placebo trial medication were provided at baseline and visit 4 to supply enough ointment for the 12 week period. Active medication contained CT327 at 0.5%w/w. Each participant pack of active medication or placebo was presented as a 20g glass jar. The dose consisted of one application (1 standardised spatula) in the evening to each tumour as directed at the first visit by the research nurse/doctor. Patients recorded the application of treatment in a patient diary. All participants were treating tumours on one half of the body with active CT327 and the other half of the body with placebo according to the randomisation allocation for a 12 week period.

    Cohort 2
    Reporting group description
    The trial is split into two phases namely a phase 1b (cohort 1) which aims to determine the safety profile of CT327, and a phase 2a (cohort 2) that will investigate if CYLD defective tumours respond to CT327. Cohort 2 is a Phase 2a is a randomised double blind single site trial where the primary objective is to establish if CYLD defective tumours respond to CT327. The primary outcome will be the proportion of tumours responding to treatment by 12 weeks in both actively treated lesions and placebo treated lesions. Secondary outcome measures will be change in tumour volume, adverse events, compliance, confirmation of the definition of response, patient reported quality of life according to EQ5D and DLQI, acceptability of treatment and a trial specific pain measure. To achieve the 150 tumours required 15 were recruited into Phase 2a.

    EQ-5D-3L was collected at the baseline visit. The EQ-5D-3L descriptive system comprises the following 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 3 levels: no Descriptive problems, some problems, extreme problems. A variable is derived to describe the unique health of each participant this state is defined by combining 1 level from each of the 5 dimensions. Detailed descriptions regarding calculation of scores can be found in the user guide found at http://www.euroqol.org. Health states determined by the EQ-5D are reported as numbers of patients responding to each dimension.

    End point description
    The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaire is designed for use in adults, i.e. patients over the age of 16 and is a patient reported questionnaire. It is collected at the baseline visit. The DLQI is calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. The DLQI can also be expressed as a percentage of the maximum possible score of 30. Detailed description of the calculation of the DLQI can be found in the instructions for use on the Cardiff University website. http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/dermatology/quality-of-life. To obtain a total DLQI score the responses are scored as follows with a total score being a maximum of 30: Very much scored 3 A lot scored 2 A little scored 1 Not at all scored 0 Not relevant scored 0 Question unanswered scored 0 Question 7: “prevented work or studying” scored 3
