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   43850   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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 evaluate the Progression Free Survival (PFS) without Grade 4 toxicity (G4PFS) in both arms. This composite endpoint considers the first occurrence of either of the following: - Grade 4 toxicity (lower grade AEs are not considered), - Disease Progression or Death.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the Institut de Recherche Pierre Fabre (IRPF) Clinical Standard Operating Procedures, the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and subsequent amendments that are consistent with the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Guidelines on Good Clinical Practice (GCP) (CPMP/ICH/135/95) and related national regulations. Written informed consent was obtained from the patient before any study specific procedures were undertaken. Patients were informed about the study, both verbally and through their review of the Subject Information Leaflet (SIL) and ICF. The information in the SIL was based on the elements defined in the Declaration of Helsinki and the ICH GCP Guideline. The SIL also described the measures taken to safeguard the patient’s privacy and protection of personal data, according to the European General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679).
    Background therapy
    Preventative treatment with an oral 5HT3 antagonist was recommended before each oral vinorelbine (OV) administration.
    Evidence for comparator
    Chemotherapy with a single agent is an appropriate therapeutic option, suitable for a large number of patients with advanced NSCLC unfit for receiving a platinum-based chemotherapy (ie patients with creatinine clearance decrease, poor Performance Status (PS), co-morbidities, cardio-vascular problems and, in some cases, age, when it is correlated with functional impairment).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    34 opened sites across nine countries randomised 167 patients. Of the 167 patients randomised, two patients were not treated, one because of disease progression and the other because of the delay between randomisation and start of study treatment.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    An initial screening assessment within 28 days prior to the first dose of study treatment was planned before randomisation and screened 225 patients for NSCLC stage IIIB or stage IV. of the 225 screened patients, 167 were randomised.

    Oral vinorelbine: 50 mg (one capsule of 20 mg plus one of 30 mg) three times weekly on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. NB: for practical reasons, the same schedule could be adapted to Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday. A cycle is a treatment period between 9 administrations of oral vinorelbine (3 administrations on Monday, Wednesday and Friday during 3 weeks). Treatment should be administered until documented disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient’s refusal or investigator’s decision. Treatment will be modified in case of dose limiting haematological and/or non haematological toxicity. Dose adjustment and/or treatment delay are to be made according to the body system showing the greatest degree of toxicity.

    End point description
    G4PFS, defined as the time from randomisation until the first radiographically documented progression of disease, first AE with grade 4 toxicity or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, was estimated on the ITT population (all treated patients) using Kaplan Meier curves and Confidence intervals on the median PFS were calculated using the Brookmeyer and Crowley method. Patients who had radiographically documented disease progression, had an adverse event with grade 4 toxicity or died from any cause are considered as having an event. Clinical progression with no radiological evidence of progression not considered as event. The clinical response was determined using the revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines Version 1.1. Tumor assessments of the same sites that were assessed at baseline were performed every 6 weeks until disease progression. At DCO or last contact, death was reported for 142 patients, while 25 were still alive.

    DCR without grade 4 toxicity is defined as the sum of CR, PR and SD rates in patients without grade 4 toxicity. Only responders (patients with BOCR of CR or PR) and stable patients (patients with BOCR of SD) will be included in the analysis of duration of disease control without grade 4 toxicity. DCR was observed in 38/83 (45.8%) patients in arm A [95% CI: 34.8%; 57.1%] and 22/82 (26.8%) patients in arm B [95% CI: 17.6%; 37.8%]. 95% confidence intervals are computed using the Clopper-Pearson approach.

Patients who received a new anti-tumoral treatment, whatever the type of treatment, before their disease progression will be censored at the start date of this new anti-tumoral treatment.
    End point type

    End point timeframe
    Duration of stable disease according to investigator will be calculated among the stable patients from the date of randomisation until the documentation of progression or death due to any cause in the ITT population.

    Time to treatment failure
    End point description
    Time to treatment failure is defined as the period from the date of randomisation up to the date of failure (disease progression, relapse, death or withdrawal due to adverse event, patient’s refusal, lost to follow-up or start of new anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurs first). Patients who reach the time point of analysis without failure as defined above will have the time to treatment failure censored at the date of last tumor assessment or last contact of a follow-up not showing progression. Patients who discontinued treatment for other reason and who are lost to follow-up will be censored at the date of last contact.

    Progression-free survival
    End point description
    The progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from randomisation until the first radiographically documented progression of disease or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Patients who are lost to follow-up, or reach the time point of analysis without a known record of progression or death will have the progression-free survival censored at the date of last tumour assessment or last contact of a follow-up showing no progression, whichever occur last.

    Overall Survival
    End point description
    Overall survival is defined as the period from the date of randomisation up to the date of death, regardless of cause of death. Patients alive at the time of the analysis will have the overall survival censored at the date of last tumor assessment or last contact, whichever occur last. For patients with no post baseline tumor assessment a censored overall survival at day 1 will be considered.

    End point description
    The progression-free survival without grade 2-3-4 toxicity (G2PFS) is defined as the time from randomisation until the first radiographically documented progression of disease, first AE with grade 2, 3 or 4 toxicity or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Patients who are lost to follow-up, or reach the time point of analysis without a known record of progression or date of G2-3-4 toxicity or death will have the G2PFS censored at the date of last tumour assessment or last contact of a follow-up showing no progression, whichever occur last.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    12 Apr 2016
    Local Amendment Germany In the current protocol, the pelvic CT scan is asked to be performed at Baseline for tumour assessment among others. However in Germany, pelvic CT scan will lead to an over-exposure of radiation as defined by the Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz. To fulfil this requirement, the pelvic CT scan / MRI will be optional. Moreover, the sponsor’s personnel list is updated.

    PM 0259 CA 232 J1 is a prospective study which aims to assess an alternative schedule of treatment with oral vinorelbine for a category of advanced NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer) whose medical conditions makes the use of intensive doublet not suitable. This study compares the use of oral vinorelbine as single agent in first-line treatment using a fractionated administration (metronomic) approach versus the approved dosing scheme of oral vinorelbine in patients considered as unfit for a platinum-based regimen. As planned per protocol, an interim analysis of safety was performed after the first 40 patients (20 in each arm) enrolled. All safety data were reviewed by the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC). Further to this review the DMC has issued the following recommendations regarding the conduct of the trial: To implement in both arms standard practice for infection prevention in these high-risk patients unfit for platinum-based chemotherapy, as the study protocol is addressed to patients more likely to have comorbidities that significantly expose them to infection.; To perform a second interim analysis of safety when accrual of 40 additional patients would have been reached (in total 80 patients enrolled, 40 patients in each arm). Furthermore several additional changes were implemented: -An harmonization of the definition of febrile neutropenia in accordance with NCI-CTC v.4 in use in this trial; -A clarification of the definition of “ G4PFS” (progression-free survival without Grade 4 Toxicity), of “ G2PFS” (progression-free survival without Grade 2 Toxicity); addition of definition of progression-free survival (PFS); -An update of the list of Sponsor’s representatives.

    As of today, 167 patients have been randomized in the study, two patients (1 patient in Greece & 1 patient in Poland), both randomized in metronomic arm, are still receiving study medication and 27 other patients are still alive in Follow-up period. The final analysis requires the confirmation of at least 143 events (Grade 4 toxicity, Disease Progression or Death) and 162 events have been documented so far in the study. The statistical power needed to perform the final analysis of the study primary endpoint and the maturity of data of the secondary endpoints have been achieved. Therefore, to proceed with the final analysis earlier as planned per protocol, this amendment aims to modify the end of study definition as follows: The end of study is defined as: 30 days following the last study drug administration of the last patient. No additional information will be collected from 30 days following the last study drug administration. A data cut-off date for final analysis is fixed on 15-Oct-2018. Statistical analysis will contain all data generated up to 15-Oct-2018 inclusive or the end of study, whichever occurs first. • For patients having discontinued the study at the data cut-off date (15-Oct-2018), only data generated up to 15-Oct-2018 inclusive will be collected into e-CRF and analysed. • Patients who remain on study treatment at the data cut-off date (15-Oct-2018) may continue to benefit receiving treatment in the study until documented progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, patient’s refusal, or investigator’s discretion for subject’s interest as defined in the study protocol. Study procedures during treatment period will remain unchanged except the completion of the Quality of Life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ C30) which will not be longer required to decrease the burden of patients in the study. Pierre Fabre Medicament will supply study drug, free of charge to each centre. The efficacy and safety reporting will be maintained as per protocol
