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   43444   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7185   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.

    4.life expectancy ≥12 wks
    5. Toxicities incurred as a result of previous anti-cancer therapy resolved to ≤Grade 1 except for alopecia, Grade 2 sensory neurotoxicity, or any other toxicity that in the opinion of the investigator does not affect the assessment of adverse events related to the study drug

    a.>14d or >5 half-lives prior to study entry, whichever is shorter.
    b.>14d for radiotherapy. Note: A less than 1-week wash-out period is permitted only for palliative radiation to non-CNS disease with Sponsor approval.
    7.Recovery from prior surgery/other procedure/ complication to ≤ Grade 2 or to baseline condition that in opinion of the investigator does not affect the assessment of adverse events related to the study drug;

    d.ALT, AST ≤3 x ULN and total bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN (for exceptions please refer to protocol)
    e.Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of >30 mL/min based on the Cockroft-Gault formula;
    9.Able to provide at baseline a mandatory tumor biopsy sample, preferably a block. If safe/feasible, a fresh FFPE biopsy sample is preferred; archival tissue is acceptable (preferably not more than 2 years old*
    10.Negative pregnancy test at Screening and ≤7 days of D1
    11.Sexually active male and female patients of childbearing potential must agree to use an effective method of birth control during entire study and 6 months after final administration of MCLA-128
    12.Give written informed consent
    13.Capable of understanding protocol requirements, is willing and able to comply with study procedures and has signed the main informed consent document. For any optional biopsy sampling (tissue and/or blood) and long-term sample storage, additional consent is required.
    14.Patients must have received prior standard therapy appropriate for their tumor type and stage of disease.
    15. Locally-advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumor malignancy with documented NRG1 gene fusion, identified through molecular assays such as PCR, next generation sequencing-based assays [DNA or RNA], or FISH as routinely performed at CLIA or other similarly-certified laboratories**

    *For patients who received afatinib or other HER-targeting agents, a biopsy collected after the last line of treatment is strongly preferred to assess for mechanisms of acquired resistance.

    ** Patients harboring fusions that are predicted to be non-functional, i.e. lack of EGF-domain, will not be included in the study. For equivocal cases, including those with NRG1 as the upstream partner, the sponsor will manually review genomic results and may request collateral testing, approve, or deny the case.

    Patients in both Parts 1 and 2 of the study may remain on treatment until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, or discontinuation for any other reason. Following study completion, patients will be followed up every 3 months for up to 2 years (approximately) to check their disease and/or survival status and commencement of their next anticancer treatment. In case of treatment termination the investigator will discuss next treatment options outside of this study.
