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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 primary objective was to provide access of talimogene laherparepvec for subjects with unresected stage IIIB to IVM1c melanoma in select countries in Europe until marketing authorization approval by the European Commission for the treatment of melanoma.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Council on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) regulations/guidelines. The protocol, informed consent form, other written subject information, and any advertising material were submitted to the Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) for written approval. A copy of the written approval of the protocol and informed consent form must have been received by Amgen before recruitment of subjects into the protocol and shipment of Amgen investigational product. Before a subject’s participation in the expanded access protocol, the investigator was responsible for obtaining written informed consent from the subject after adequate explanation of the aims, methods, anticipated benefits, and potential hazards of the protocol and before any protocol-specific screening procedures or any investigational product(s) were administered.

    Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) [1]
    End point description
    Treatment-related adverse events refer to treatment-emergent AEs that have possible or probable relation to study treatment as assessed by investigator. The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 was used to grade severity of AEs. The Safety Analysis Set included all subjects who are enrolled and receive at least one dose of talimogene laherparepvec.

    End point timeframe
    From first dose of study drug until 30 days after the last dose, the median duration of treatment was 13.3 weeks.
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
