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   43870   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7289   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate Progression Free Survival (PFS), defined as the number of days between the date of randomization and the date of clinical disease progression (PD) according to RECIST criteria version 1.1, as assessed by Independent Radiology Review, or death for any cause, whichever occurs first, in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) treated with the combination of paclitaxel and orally administered reparixin compared to paclitaxel alone.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in full compliance with the principles of the "Declaration of Helsinki" and subsequent revisions, International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines, and all of the applicable US Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 21 CFR Part 50 & 312. In addition, this study adhered to all local regulatory requirements and requirements for data protection.

    195 patients were enrolled in the study; one was enrolled into the study and was a screen failure but was not counted in the analysis due to the fact that the screen failure page was not completed. Of the 194 enrolled patients, 123 were randomized and included in the ITT Population: 62 patients in Group 1 and 61 patients in Group 2.

    Objective response rate (ORR)
    End point description
    The ORR was defined as the percentage of patients achieving CR or PR in the Evaluable Population. The response rate was calculated from the independently reviewed assessment best response. In case of PR or CR, only confirmed cases were considered to be responses. Complete Response (CR) = Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR) = >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR. Patients with unknown or missing response, including response of “not all evaluated” or “unable to determine”, were treated as non-responders; i.e., they were included in the denominator when calculating the percentages. Patients must have completed at least one course of treatment and performed at least one disease assessment to be considered evaluable for response.

    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to first documentation of disease progression, according to RECIST criteria version 1.1, as assessed by Independent Radiology Review, or to death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. For each treatment group, the Kaplan-Meier estimates for the median PFS time, the first and third quartiles were presented, along with approximate 95% confidence intervals if there were a sufficient number of progressions or deaths. Patients must have completed at least one course of treatment and performed at least one disease assessment to be considered evaluable for response.

    Duration of overall response (DOR)
    End point description
    Duration of overall response (DOR) in days for the investigator assessments is measured from the time response criteria are first met for CR or PR (whichever is first recorded on the “Disease Response” page on the CRF) until either death or the first date that recurrent or PD is objectively documented (on the “Disease Response” page on the CRF or the Follow-Up Disease Evaluation page indicates disease progression and there is supporting information in the Disease Status pages) per RECIST version 1.1. If a patient is lost to follow-up with no documentation of PD, DOR was censored at the last evaluable tumor assessment. DOR was calculated only for responding patients (PR or CR) as recorded on the CRF page “Disease Response” based upon the RECIST version 1.1. Duration of overall response was calculated only for patients with confirmed CR or PR. Patients must have completed at least 1 cycle and performed at least 1 disease assessment to be considered evaluable for response.

    Number of TEAEs, overall and by grade
    End point description
    Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are those which first occur or increase in severity or relationship to study drug after the first dose of study drug and before 30 days after the last dose of study treatment, reparixin/placebo. In the case of missing or partial dates, any AE that could have started on or after first dose date was assumed to be treatment-emergent. In the case of missing or partial dates, imputed dates (see section 10.1 AE date imputation) were used.

    A serious adverse event (SAE) in human drug trials is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose 1 - results in death, (fatal) 2 - is life-threatening 3 - requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization 4 - results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, 5 - may have caused a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or 6 - requires intervention to prevent permanent impairment or damage.

    Best overall response (BOR)
    End point description
    BOR is defined as the best response among all overall responses (in the order complete response [CR], partial response [PR], stable disease [SD], and progressive disease [PD]) recorded as an independent review response from the start of reparixin or placebo until disease progression/recurrence or end of treatment, or death, whichever comes first. The status of BOR of PR or CR needs to be confirmed by repeat tumor assessment within no less than 4 weeks according to RECIST version 1.1. If the status of CR or PR cannot be confirmed by repeat tumor assessment, the best overall response of unconfirmed CR and PR will be PR and SD, respectively. Patients must have completed at least 1 cycle and performed at least 1 disease assessment to be considered evaluable for response.

    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Incidence and profile of the TEAEs during the study are typical and expected for patients on chemotherapy, and was similar in both groups. The most common TEAEs in group 1 were nausea, alopecia, anemia, asthenia, and diarrhea. The most common TEAEs in group 2 were fatigue, nausea, alopecia, diarrhea, and asthenia. Here only these are reported.
