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.

     Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109/L.
     Platelet count ≥ 100 × 109/L.
     Hemoglobin ≥ 85 g/L (transfusion supported is acceptable).
     Alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of laboratory normal (ULN) or ≤ 5 × ULN in the presence of liver metastases.
     Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN; if total bilirubin is > 1.5 × ULN, then direct bilirubin must be ≤ 1.5 × ULN.
     Creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min measured or calculated by Cockroft-Gault equation, or glomerular filtration rate ≥ 50 mL/min/1.73 m2 as calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula.
    •Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening. All female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to take appropriate precautions to avoid pregnancy (with at least 99% certainty) from screening to follow-up.
    •Male subjects must agree to take appropriate precautions to avoid fathering children (with at least 99% certainty) from screening through follow-up. Permitted methods that are at least 99% effective in preventing pregnancy should be communicated to the subject and their understanding confirmed.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    •Squamous or mixed histology (eg, adenosquamous) NSCLC
    •Previous systemic therapy for advanced or metastatic disease. (Subjects who completed a platinum-containing regimen as adjuvant, neoadjuvant, or part of a course of chemoradiation therapy within the 6 months before screening are also excluded.)
    •Known active (untreated) central nervous system (CNS) metastases. Subjects with CNS metastases who have completed a course of therapy would be eligible for the study provided they are clinically stable for at least 4 weeks before study entry, defined as:
    •No evidence of new or enlarging CNS metastasis or new neurological symptoms attributable to CNS metastases.
    •Asymptomatic and receiving either no or stable doses of anticonvulsants and/or corticosteroids for the 4 weeks prior to study entry.
    •Current or previous other malignancy within 2 years of study entry, except cured basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, prostate intraepithelial neoplasm, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or other noninvasive or indolent malignancy without sponsor approval.
    •Current uncontrolled cardiac disease such as angina or myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure including New York Heart Association functional classification of 3, or arrhythmia requiring treatment.
    •Uncontrolled concomitant medical conditions, including, but not limited to, renal, hepatic, hematologic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, pulmonary, neurological, cerebral, or psychiatric diseases.
    •Known hypersensitivity to any of the active substances or any of their excipients, including ruxolitinib, cisplatin, or pemetrexed.
    •Inability to take brief courses of dexamethasone each month.
    •Unwillingness or inability to take vitamin B12 and folic acid supplements.
    •Chronic or current active infectious disease requiring systemic antibiotics, antifungals, or antivirals.
    •Known HIV-positive status.
    •Hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) viremia or at risk for HBV reactivation. HBV DNA and testing for HCV RNA must be undetectable. At risk for HBV reactivation is defined as hepatitis B surface antigen positive or anti-hepatitis B core antibody positive.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    •Part 1: Determination of the dose of ruxolitinib that is safe and tolerable in combination with pemetrexed/cisplatin.
    •Part 2: Overall survival as determined from the date of randomization until death due to any cause.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The primary endpoint is OS, defined as number of days from randomization to death. This analysis will be based on the intent-to-treat population, according to treatment assignment. Survival data will be analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method stratified by mGPS score, treating subjects with no observed death as censored at their last date known to be alive. The Arm1/Arm2 HR and its 80% CI will be estimated using Cox regression model with mGPS score as covariate.
    The OS will also be analyzed based on per-protocol population as sensitivity analysis.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    •Progression-free survival as determined from the randomization date until the earliest date of disease progression, as measured by investigator assessment of objective radiographic disease assessments per RECIST (v1.1), or death due to any cause if earlier.
    •Objective response rate and duration of response determined by radiographic disease assessments per RECIST (v1.1).
    •Safety and tolerability of the treatment regimens assessed by monitoring the frequency, duration, and severity of AEs; performing physical examinations; and evaluating change in vital signs and laboratory results.
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Progression-free survival will be determined from the randomization date until the earliest date of disease progression, as measured by investigator assessment of objective radiographic disease assessments per RECIST (v1.1), or death due to any cause if earlier.
    The rates of responders will be compared with Cochran–Mantel–Haenszel test stratified by mGPS score. The duration of response is defined as the difference of the end of response and the start of response for subjects who have at least one response measurement. The start of a response will be the first visit where the subject achieves PR or better based on RECIST v1.1 criteria. The end of response will be the first visit after PD based on RECIST v1.1 criteria.
