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
    Participants with recurrent or metastatic (R/M) squamous cell cancer of the head and neck (HNSCC) will be randomly assigned to receive pembrolizumab monotherapy [pembro mono], pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy with a platinum-based drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) [pembro combo], or cetuximab plus a platinum-based drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and 5-FU [control]. The overall primary study hypotheses are as follows in all participants and in participants with Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive expression defined by Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥1 and CPS ≥20: 1) pembrolizumab monotherapy prolongs progression free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR), prolongs overall survival (OS) compared to standard treatment, and 2) pembrolizumab combination therapy prolongs PFS per RECIST 1.1 by BICR and prolongs OS compared to standard treatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practice standards and applicable country and/or local statutes and regulations regarding ethical committee review, informed consent, and the protection of human subjects participating in biomedical research.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Participants with first line recurrent or metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) were recruited to examine the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab monotherapy (pembro mono) versus pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy (pembro combo) versus cetuximab plus chemotherapy (control).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Of 1228 participants screened, 882 were randomized: pembro mono, pembro combo, or control arms. 22 participants in the control arm enrolled during an enrollment pause of pembro combo arm and were omitted from efficacy analyses between the respective arms. Per protocol, second course events were not included in efficacy or safety endpoints.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: Per protocol, efficacy analyses were performed by comparing the Pembro Combo arm versus the Control arm. Due to a pause in enrollment in the Pembro Combo arm, only the concurrent control arm is used for their comparison.

    End point description
    PFS is the time from randomization to first documented progressive disease (PD) per RECIST 1.1 by BICR, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters (SOD) of target lesions and an additional absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of ≥1 new lesions is also PD. Per protocol PFS in the pembro combo versus the control arm was a pre-specified primary analysis of the Intent-To-Treat (ITT) population, consisting of all randomized participants during active enrollment. 22 participants enrolled in the control arm during an enrollment pause of the pembro combo arm were excluded. PFS is reported here for the first course, for all participants in the pembro combo and control arm. Per protocol PFS was compared separately between all participants of the pembro mono and control arm and is presented later.

    Pembro Mono vs Control: OS in Participants With PD-L1 CPS ≥1
    End point description
    OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of the final analysis were censored at the date of the last follow-up. Per protocol, OS in the pembro mono arm versus the control arm was a pre-specified primary analysis of the ITT population, consisting of all randomized participants during active enrollment with PD-L1 biomarker positive expression defined by IHC as CPS ≥1. OS is reported here for the first course, for all participants in the pembro mono and control arm with CPS ≥1. Per protocol, OS was compared separately between CPS ≥1 participants of the pembro combo arm and control arm and is presented earlier.

    End point description
    PFS is the time from randomization to first documented PD per RECIST 1.1 by BICR, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is ≥20% increase in the SOD of target lesions and an additional absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of ≥1 new lesions is also PD. Per protocol, PFS in the pembro combo arm versus the control arm was a pre-specified secondary analysis of the ITT population, consisting of all randomized participants during active enrollment. 22 participants enrolled in the control arm during an enrollment pause of the pembro combo arm were excluded. The percentage of participants with PFS (PFS rate) at 6 months is reported here, for the first course, for all participants in the pembro combo arm and control arm.

    EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire to assess the quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients. Responses to "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" (Item 29) and "How would you rate your overall quality of life during the past week?" (Item 30) were scored on a 7-point scale (1=Very Poor to 7=Excellent). Raw scores were standardized so scores ranged from 0 to 100; a higher score indicating a better overall outcome. Per protocol change from baseline (BL) to Week 15 in GHS/QoL combined score, for the first course, in all participants of the pembro combo versus control arm was a pre-specified secondary analysis; and compared separately between all participants of pembro mono and control arm, as presented later. All participants in the pembro combo and control arm who got ≥1 dose of study drug and had assessments available at- or post-BL up to Week 15 were analyzed. 20 in the control arm in an enrollment pause of pembro combo arm were excluded.

    Pembro Combo vs Control: ORR per RECIST 1.1 by BICR in Participants With PD-L1 CPS ≥20
    End point description
    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population who have a CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or a PR (≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1. by BICR. Per protocol, ORR in the pembro combo arm versus the control arm as a pre-specified secondary analysis of the ITT population, consisting of consisting of all randomized participants during active enrollment with PD-L1 biomarker positive expression defined by IHC as CPS ≥20. 12 participants enrolled in the control arm during an enrollment pause of the pembro combo arm were excluded. The percentage of participants who experienced CR or PR is reported here as the ORR, for the first course, for all participants in the pembro combo arm and control arm with CPS≥20. Per protocol, ORR was compared separately between CPS ≥20 participants of the pembro mono arm and control arm and is presented later.

    End point description
    EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire assessing QoL of cancer patients. Response to "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" (Item 29) and "How would you rate your overall QoL during the past week?" (Item 30) were scored on a 7-point scale (1=Very Poor to 7=Excellent). Raw scores were standardized so scores ranged from 0 to 100; a higher score indicating a better outcome. TTD is the time from BL to first onset of a ≥10-point decrease from BL in GHS/QoL score. Per protocol TTD for the first course, in all participants of pembro combo versus control arm was a pre-specified secondary analysis; TTD in pembro mono versus control arm was presented later. All participants in the pembro combo and control arms who completed EORTC QLQ-C30 and got ≥1 dose of study drug were analyzed. 20 in the control arm enrolled during an enrollment pause of the pembro combo arm were excluded. 9999: Value not reached due to insufficient number of participants with event.

Per protocol, ORR in the pembro mono arm versus the control arm was a pre-specified secondary analysis of the ITT population, consisting of all randomized participants during active enrollment with PD-L1 biomarker positive expression defined by IHC as CPS ≥1. The percentage of participants who experienced CR or PR is reported here as the ORR, for the first course, for all participants in the pembro mono and control arm with CPS≥1. Per protocol, ORR was compared separately between CPS ≥1 participants of the pembro combo arm and control arm and is presented earlier.

    EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire to assess the quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients. Responses to "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" (Item 29) and "How would you rate your overall quality of life during the past week?" (Item 30) were scored on a 7-point scale (1=Very Poor to 7=Excellent). Raw scores were standardized by linear transformation so that scores ranged from 0 to 100; a higher score indicating a better overall outcome. Per protocol, change from baseline to Week 15 in GHS/QoL combined score, for the first course, in all participants of the pembro mono versus control arm was a pre-specified secondary analysis; and compared separately between all participants of pembro combo and control arm and is presented earlier. All participants in the pembro mono arm and the control arm who got ≥1 dose of study drug and had assessments available at baseline or post-baseline up to Week 15 were analyzed.

    Number of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event (AE)
    End point description
    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a pre-existing condition that was temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor’s product was also an AE. The number of participants that experienced at least one AE, for the first course of treatment, in subjects who received ≥1 dose of study drug, was reported for each arm.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    10 Jul 2015
    Amendment 1 included an increase in sample size. The sample size increased from 750 to 780 based on prevalence of strongly positive PD-L1 expression seen in data from the HNSCC cohorts in other MK-3475 Pembrolizumab studies. Added PFS hypothesis for pembrolizumab in combination with chemotherapy vs. standard treatment in subjects with strongly positive PD-L1 expression.
    06 Sep 2015
    Amendment 5 included changes to OS. OS was changed from a secondary objective to a primary objective, and biomarker population was updated to include PD-L1 ≥20% CPS, ≥10% CPS, ≥1% CPS. Sample size increased from 780 to 825 due to these changes. The strongly positive PD-L1 enrichment population was removed. Added QOL secondary objectives. Changed ORR, DOR, and PFS per irRECIST from secondary to exploratory objectives. Modified inclusion and exclusion criteria.
    06 Apr 2017
    Amendment 7 included references to PD-L1 10% Combined Positive Score were removed; only the 20% and 1% cut points are planned to be analyzed.
    13 Sep 2017
    Amendment 8 included follow-up time was increased at the interim and final analyses by 3 months to achieve data maturity at these timepoints.
    27 Nov 2017
    Amendment 9 included dose modification guidelines were updated per health authority feedback. Hypotheses for PFS and OS superiority in biomarker positive subpopulation were added. Follow-up time was increased at the second interim analysis and final analysis to allow adequate follow-up time to assess long-term effects of pembrolizumab. Language was added to enable survival follow-up activities throughout the study at timepoints specified by the Sponsor.
    30 Jan 2019
    Amendment 10 modified to indicate the number of expected events, rather than required events, references to “event-driven” were removed, and text was modified to describe the timing of the final analysis to account for the scenario if the number of deaths for one hypothesis accumulates slower than expected to prevent the trial continuing for an unreasonable period for the final analysis.
    21 Apr 2020
    Amendment 11 corrected the typographical error "co-primary" that appears at the end of the second paragraph in Section 4.2.3.1.1 has been corrected to "dual-primary" to indicate that the 2 primary endpoints in the study, OS and PFS, were "dual-primary" endpoints rather than "co-primary" endpoints. As a result, the study is considered positive if a statistically significant result is determined for either of these endpoints. This error has appeared in all versions of the protocol starting with amendment 048-05, dated 05-AUG-2016.
    10 Jun 2021
    Amendment 12 updated the pembrolizumab dose modification table and toxicity management guidelines for irAEs, in line with FDA request to harmonize the presentation of safety information across all FDA-approved PD-1/L-1 antibody prescribing information. To align with the updated SmPC for cetuximab.
    21 Jul 2022
    Amendment 13 added language to allow subjects to roll over to a pembrolizumab extension study.
