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   44367   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7389   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Primary objective (before amendment) Assessment of safety of dual HER2-targeted ther. with Herceptin® (trastuzumab) and Perjeta® (pertuzumab) + endocrine ther. compared to dual HER2-targeted ther. with Herceptin® (trastuzumab) and Perjeta® (pertuzumab) + chemother. in patients with HER2-pos., hormone-receptor pos. metastatic breast cancer. Safety: Proportion of patients experiencing any AE (as defined by the modified AE score) during treatment period. New primary objective Assessment of tolerability of dual HER2-targeted ther. with Herceptin® and Perjeta® + Kisquali® and standard endocrine ther. compared to dual HER2-targeted ther. with Herceptin® and Perjeta® + chemother. (followed by endocrine therapy + ribociclib in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab as maintenance ther.) in patients with HER2-pos., hormone-receptor pos. metastatic breast cancer. Tolerability: Proportion of patients experiencing any AE as defined by the modified AE score during treatment period.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Adequate drug supply of all IMPs for self-administration at home. IMP prescribed according to approved label with known side effect profil. All therapies given in the study treatment period could be extended if medically indicated. Adequate safety follow up for toxicity and efficacy. Safety and tolerability were assessed by evaluation of adverse events and serious adverse events (CTCAE) during course of trial and follow up. Trial-related additianl expenses (e.g. visits, blood samples) reduced to a minimum.

    Tolerability and safety
    End point description
    Tolerability is assessed by the proportion of patients experiencing any adverse event (as defined by the modified adverse event score) during the treatment period. The modified adverse event score includes all adverse events grade 3 or higher, except for neutropenia, which is only included if rated grade 4, and alopecia, rash, peripheral neuropathy and hand-foot syndrome, all of which are included if rated grade 2 or higher.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    31 Jan 2019
    With amendment 1, patients enrolled after the amendment are in addition treated with the CDK4/6 inhibitor Kisqali® (ribociclib). With the addition of Kisqali, the project title was adapted, and the objectives were changed. The new objectives of the study are to assess safety and tolerability of a dual HER2-targeted therapy with Herceptin® and Perjeta® plus endocrine therapy and Kisqali® as compared to a dual HER2-targeted therapy with Herceptin® and Perjeta® plus chemotherapy followed by maintenance therapy with Herceptin® and Perjeta® plus endocrine therapy and Kisqali®. Moreover, tamoxifen was removed from the list of substances for endocrine therapy (due to a potential effect of ribociclib together with tamoxifen on QTcF prolongation), whereas the GnRH analogues leuprorelin and goserelin were added for pre- and perimenopausal women. To the list of substances for chemotherapy, eribulin and nab®-paclitaxel were added.
    14 Feb 2020
    With Amendment no. 2, the study protocol was adapted with respect to the management of QTc prolongation under ribociclib treatment. Recommendations for dose reductions according to the current SmPC for ribociclib (Kisqali®) were added.
    16 Aug 2021
    With Amendment no. 3 (to protocol version 3.0 from 11 January 2021), recruitment was extended to November 2022 (LPI) and the limitation of 1st line patients to 60% was removed. Abraxane® (nab®-Paclitaxel) will be no longer provided as trial medication, thus Abraxane® chemotherapy option will be no longer available for participating patients. The synopsis was updated in Amendment 3 regarding the endocrine therapy of pre- and perimenopausal women since GnRH analogs leuprorelin and goserelin were added as therapy option in combination with endocrine therapy. Tumor assessment according to RECIST during Follow Up is now recommended. The indications and safety aspects of the study medication Perjeta®, Kisqali®, Abraxane®, and Halaven® regarding the current IBs or SmPCs have been updated. Additionally, the study design regarding therapy options (switch between arms and discontinuation of ribociclib) and GnRH analogs were adjusted. A definition of interruption of therapy with Herceptin® and Perjeta® was applied to the protocol.
    28 Mar 2022
    With Amendment no. 4 (to protocol version 4.0 from 30 December 2021) the change of the Coordinating Investigator (‘Leiter der klinischen Prüfung’ according to §4 (25) German Drug Law) from Prof. Dr. Jens Huober to Dr. med. Fabienne Schochter, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology University Hospital Ulm, Prittwitzstr.43, D-89075 Ulm, was issued. Furthermore, the protocol was adapted due to the stopped supply of eribulin (HALAVEN®) as study medication. Therefore, eribulin chemotherapy option was eliminated. Patients who were already under eribulin therapy received further therapy in accordance with the protocol. There was no change in safety-relevant risk for patients under eribulin therapy. The safety profile of study medication paclitaxel, anastrozole, capecitabine according to current reference safety information was updated. The reporting period of AEs/SAEs was defined. A note on the documentation of the proper intake of oral study medication an on weekly documentation of storage temperature of pertuzumab (Perjeta®) on temperature log was added.
