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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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
    This is a study of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) versus standard treatment (methotrexate, docetaxel or cetuximab) for the treatment of recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either pembrolizumab or Investigator's choice of standard treatment. The primary study hypothesis is that pembrolizumab treatment prolongs Overall Survival (OS) when compared to standard treatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practice standards and applicable country and/or local statutes and regulations regarding ethical committee review, informed consent, and the protection of human subjects participating in biomedical research.

    OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of the final analysis were to be censored at the date of the last follow-up. The OS for all participants is presented. These initial OS results are based on a data cut-off date of 15-May-2017 with a database lock date of 04-Jun-2017. At the time of the database lock of 04-Jun-2017, there was incomplete collection of survival data for 12 participants. The efficacy population consisted of all randomized participants. Participants are included in the treatment group to which they were randomized.

    		 Progression-free Survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 for All Participants
    End point description
    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression per RECIST 1.1 based on blinded independent central review (BICR) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Per RECIST 1.1, progressive disease was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also have demonstrated an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Note: The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered progression. The PFS per RECIST 1.1 for all participants is presented. These efficacy results were reported after complete acquisition of all outstanding survival data using a 15-May-2017 data cut-off date with a database update date of 13-Oct-2017. The efficacy population consisted of all randomized participants. Participants are included in the treatment group to which they were randomized.

    End point description
    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression per RECIST 1.1 based on BICR or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Per RECIST 1.1, progressive disease was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also have demonstrated an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Note: The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered progression. The PFS per RECIST 1.1 for all participants with PD-L1 expression ≥1% CPS is presented. These efficacy results were reported after complete acquisition of all outstanding survival data using a 15-May-2017 data cut-off date with a database update date of 13-Oct-2017. The efficacy population consisted of all randomized participants with PD-L1 ≥1% CPS. Participants are included in the treatment group to which they were randomized.
