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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main aim of the study was to determine the proportion of triple negative breast cancers (TNBCs) that respond to 12-14 days treatment with the PARP inhibitor rucaparib. The cell proliferation marker Ki67 will be used to measure treatment response. Ki67 has been widely used to measure proliferation in human breast cancer. Preclinical studies have shown that Ki67 levels decrease in response to PARP inhibition in xenografts of an HR deficient cancer cell line and that the degree of suppression of Ki67 is also associated with the magnitude of xenograft response to PARP inhibition in vivo. The exploratory analysis of Ki67 in BRCA1 and BRCA2 germline mutation carriers will be used to assess the validity of fall in Ki67 as a surrogate for sensitivity to rucaparib. From prior work it is anticipated that a majority of untreated BRCA1 and BRCA2 related cancers should show a fall in Ki67 on rucaparib.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients were provided with full verbal and written informed consent regarding the purpose and procedures of the trial and the possible risks involved. A patient information sheet and consent form were provided and patients were given sufficient time to consider their participation. The Principal Investigator at each site was responsible for ensuring written informed consent was obtained for each patient. Core biopsies were a mandatory aspect of trial participation, the scientific value of these samples were considered a very important aspect of the trial when evaluated during the formal peer review process. The procedures and reasons for sample collection were clearly described in the patient information sheet and every effort to minimise discomfort during the biopsy procedure was taken by qualified healthcare professionals. Full details of the trial medication and its safety profile were provided in the patient information sheet. Patients had the opportunity to discuss any concerns they had in relation to this with their study team at site.
    Background therapy
    The purpose of RIO was to establish the proportion of untreated patients with primary sporadic TNBC who demonstrated sensitivity to the PARP inhibitor rucaparib. The trial therefore utilised a 'window of opportunity' design to allow assessment of rucaparib within the window between diagnosis and scheduling of standard treatment.
    Evidence for comparator
    This was a single group, open label phase II trial. All patients in the trial received 12-14 days of rucaparib treatment.

    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.
    Justification: This is a single arm study and no comparative analysis was performed, however the system expects at least 2 groups to be identified. All methods and options specified in the analysis section apply to statistical methods and summary measures to report and compare at least 2 independent groups, which is not the case in this single arm trial. There is no way of reporting one group inference and summary values without triggering an error or reporting inaccurate information.
