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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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.

    For each patient enrolled in the present study a tissue sample from the primary tumor (mandatory), from the most accessible metastatic site (optional) at study enrollement and at progression (optional) will be
    provided. Additionally a blood sample will be
    collected at study enrollement and at disease progression (mandatory).
    Change in biomarkers expression from screening/baseline to disease progression will be analyzed.
    In detail, biological samples will be employed to assess:
    •Immunohistochemistry markers include phosphorylated S6, phosphorylated Akt, HIF-2α, PTEN, cyclin D1, Ki-67, p53 and CC3.
    Examples of markers tested by DNA mutation assays include PI3KCA and PTEN. Additional assays may be added if new data suggests relevance to mTOR activation and/or BC.
    •Soluble markers include basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF A), VEGFD, placental growth factor (PLGF), sVEGFR1, sVEGFR2, sVEGFR3, apoptosis markers M30 and M65.
    Versione 1.0 del 11/10/2014
    Per ogni paziente arruolato nello studio verranno richiesti un campione di tessuto del tumore primitivo (mandatorio), un campione di tessuto prelevato dal sito metastatico più accessibile (opzionale) al tempo dell’arruolamento e a progressione (opzionale).
    Verranno raccolti anche un campione di sangue all‘arruolamento ed uno alla progressione (mandatorio)
    Il cambiamento dell’espressione di biomarkers dallo screening/baseline alla progressione di malattia verrà analizzato in questo studio.
    In particolare, i campioni biologici verranno analizzati per valutare:
    •Markers Immunoistochimici tra I quali S6 fosforilato, Akt fosforilato, HIF-2α, PTEN, ciclina D1, Ki-67, p53 e CC3.
    Esempi di markers testati tramite ricerca di mutazioni del DNA includono PIK3CA e PTEN. Esami addizionali saranno aggiunti se nuovi dati suggeriscono rilevanza della attivazione di mTOR in BC.
    •Marcatori solubili includono fattori di crescita fibroblastico basico (bFGF), fattori di crescita dell’endotelio vascolare A (VEGF A), VEGFD, fattori di crescita placentare (PLGF), sVEGFR1, sVEGFR2, sVEGFR3, markers di apoptosi M30 e M65

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Two primary endpoints will be tested:First treatment Progression-free survival (PFS1) and Total Progression-free survival (PFST). Overall study size is driven by PFST, that is the endpoint less frequent.
    Verranno esaminati due endpoint primari, la sopravvivenza libera da progressione al primo trattamento (PFS1) e la sopravvivenza libera da progressione globale (PFST). Il dimensionamento statistico dello Studio è determinato dalla PFST, che è l’endpoint col numero minore di eventi
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Sample size is planned to identify a Hazard ratio of 0.75, assuming an overall study duration of 36 months, an accrual duration of 24 months, a 2-sided significance level of 0.025 and power of 0.80. Assuming a median PFST of 12 months in the Fulvestrant arm (control), the expected PFST in the experimental arm will be equal to 16 months and 677 subjects need to be enrolled (East 6 software) with an average accrual rate equal to 30.8 patients/month (11 months per year have been considered).
    Il dimensionamento del campione è calcolato per individuare una hazard ratio di 0,75 ipotizzando una durata complessiva dello studio di 36 mesi, un periodo di arruolamento di 24 mesi, un livello di significatività su 2 lati di 0,025 e una potenza di 0,80. Assumendo una PFST mediana di 12 mesi nel braccio con trattamento iniziale con Fulvestrant (controllo), il PFST atteso nel braccio sperimentale sarà pari a 16 mesi e 677 soggetti dovranno essere arruolati (software East 6) con un coefficiente di crescita medio pari a 30,8 pazienti/mese (si considerano 11 mesi per anno).

    Profilo di sicurezza
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Once defined the overall study size according to the less frequent endpoint (PFST), we need to calculate the number of events required for the other primary endpoint (PFS1), and the expected time needed to achieve it. Assuming an average accrual rate of 31 pts/month (677pts/22 months), a median PFS1 of 6 months in the Fulvestrant arm (control), a Hazard ratio of 0.70 (implying that a median PFS1 of 8,6 months is expected in the experimental arm, a 2-sided significance level of 0.025 and power of 0.90, 391 events are required that will be achieved in about 22 months. The overall study size will be increased to 745 women to account for an overall 10% dropout rate....
    Una volta definita il dimensionamento globale dello studio secondo l'endpoint con numero minore di eventi (PFST), è necessario calcolare il numero di eventi richiesti per il secondo endpoint primario (PFS1) e il tempo previsto necessario per realizzarlo. Ipotizzando un tasso di arruolamento medio di 31 pazienti/mese (677pts/22 mesi), una PFS1 mediana di 6 mesi nel braccio con trattamento iniziale con Fulvestrant (controllo), una hazard ratio di 0,70 (il che implica la previsione di una PFS1 mediana di 8,6 mesi per il braccio sperimentale, un livello di significatività su 2 lati di 0,025 e una potenza di 0,90), saranno necessari 391 eventi che si realizzeranno in circa 22 mesi. La popolazione in studio verrà incrementata fino ad arrivare a 745 donne in previsione di un dropout del 10%...
