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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7292   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
    To compare the efficacy of Arm 1 to Arm 2 and Arm 1 to Arm 3 in subjects with 1st-line stage IV non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer
    Protection of trial subjects
    In the absence of unacceptable toxicities or disease progression per RECIST v1.1, subjects continued to receive study treatment. Regardless of discontinuation of one, two, or all three study drugs, subjects could continue on study with assessments. Once discontinuation criteria for the study were met (disease progression, use of other anticancer therapy, subject or investigator decision or protocol non-compliance), a termination visit occurred ≤14 days later. Subjects who did not meet the criteria to receive the second 4-cycle course of placebo or demcizumab continued to receive maintenance pemetrexed per protocol without demcizumab or placebo. To reduce gastrointestinal and hematologic toxicity, subjects received oral folic acid of ≥400 μg daily for at least 5 of the 7 days preceding the first dose of pemetrexed and continued daily during the full course of therapy and for 21 days after the last dose of pemetrexed. Subjects also received an intramuscular injection of vitamin B12 1000 μg during the week preceding the first dose of pemetrexed and then every 63 days while being treated with pemetrexed. Unless contraindicated, subjects also received dexamethasone 4 mg orally twice daily on the day before, the day of, and the day after pemetrexed administration to reduce the risk of developing skin rash.
    Background therapy
    Carboplatin and pemetrexed were administered once every 3 weeks for 4 cycles and then pemetrexed only was administered as once every 3 weeks as maintenance therapy.
    Evidence for comparator
    Placebo was used as reference therapy. There were no any patients treated with placebo as a single medication. The placebo was used only as a comparator in addition to standard treatment scheme.

    To compare the Investigator-assessed Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 response rate (unconfirmed) in placebo/placebo arm to Demcizumab/placebo arm and demcizumab/demcizumab arm combined in subjects with first-line Stage IV NSCLC. The primary endpoint of response rate was based on Investigator-assessed BOR and was defined as the best unconfirmed response determined by RECIST version 1.1 recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression in the following order of importance: CR, PR, SD, progressive disease (PD), not evaluable, or missing. The number and percentage of subjects in each disease response category (CR, PR, SD, PD, not evaluable, and missing) were summarized by treatment arm.
