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   44235   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7336   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.

    The OS time was defined as the time from randomization to the date of death. The subjects who were still alive at the time of data analysis or who were lost to follow-up OS time was censored at the last recorded date that the subjects was known to be alive before the data cutoff date. OS was measured using Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimates. PD-L1+ FAS included all PD-L1+ tumor subjects who were randomly assigned to trial treatment. The PD-L1+ subjects were with greater than or equal to (>=) 1 percentage (%) of tumor cells with >=1+ positive membrane staining intensity for PD-L1 protein.

    End point description
    The EQ-5D-5L health outcome questionnaire was a measure of health status that provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value. The EQ-5D-5L defined health in terms of mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. The 5 items were combined to generate health profiles. These profiles were converted to a continuous single index score. The lowest possible score was -0.59 (unable to walk, unable to self-care, unable to do usual activities, extreme pain or discomfort, extreme anxiety or depression) and the highest score was 1.00 (no problems in all 5 dimensions). Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) analysis set was a subset of the FAS and includes all FAS subjects who had 1 baseline HRQoL assessment and at least 1 post-baseline HRQoL questionnaire completed. Here, “number of subjects analyzed” signified the subjects analyzed in this endpoint.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    05 May 2015
    - Added language regarding the predicted number of deaths due to NSCLC in the EU in 2014. - Added language to inclusion criterion 13 for subjects being treated with docetaxel to use effective contraception for up to 3 months after docetaxel treatment and to advise male subjects not to father a child during the 3 months after treatment with docetaxel and to seek advice on conservation of sperm prior to treatment.
    10 Jul 2015
    − Excluded further enrollment of NSCLC subjects with EGFR mutations. − Modified language in Exclusion criterion 4 such that prior therapy with cancer vaccine was no longer allowed. − Changed the duration of treatment for subjects with a confirmed CR to a maximum of 24 months. − Modified AE and SAE follow-up language such that subjects with an AE ongoing at the time of the End-of-Treatment visit must be followed up until the Safety follow-up visit and subjects with a SAE ongoing at the Long term follow-up visit must be followed up by the Investigator until stabilization or until outcome was known, unless the subject was documented as “lost to follow-up. − Changed the bilirubin inclusion criterion from 1.0 x ULN to 1.5 x ULN. − Modified hepatitis testing to include type of test. − Modified mandatory chest CT to allow MRI of the chest to account for regions where CT may be prohibited. − Added language stipulating that complete blood count and core chemistry samples must be drawn and results reviewed within 48 hours prior to IMP administration. − Deleted patient-reported outcome / quality-of-life assessments from the Safety Follow-up and Long-term Follow-up visits. − Added language allowing corticosteroid use in subjects randomized to docetaxel. − Added vaccines to the list of prohibited medications. − Added PK sampling at the End-of-Treatment visit and ADA sampling at the Safety Follow-up visit.
    15 Nov 2016
    − Increased the number of subject to be randomized in the study by 100 due to the new (lower) estimation of the proportion of subjects with PD-L1+ tumors and updated the proportion expected to have PD-L1+ tumors from 80% to 70%. − Updated language regarding tumor assessments so that after 1 year (Week 55) from the start of treatment, assessments would be every 12 weeks (rather than every 6 weeks). − Changed Human Antihuman Antibody (HAHA) to ADA throughout the protocol. − Corrected discrepancies in PK sampling between the text and the Schedule of Assessments − Updated contraception language in the Inclusion Criteria to harmonize with the rest of the avelumab program. − Deleted requirement for subjects with repeated Grade 2 IRRs and ADRs to be withdrawn from treatment. − Updated language on timing of when weight should be determined for dose calculation in order to give more flexibility to Investigators − Deleted bisphosphonate and denosumab from list of nonpermissible medications. − Added language to allow subjects with brain metastases to continue treatment if they fulfilled outlined criteria. − Added guidelines for the management of suspected cardiac-related Immune-related adverse event (irAEs). − Changed definition of overdose from >= 5% to >= 10% of calculated dose. − Deleted blood sample collection for Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), Antinuclear antibody (ANA), Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) and rheumatoid factor from End of Treatment and Safety Follow-up visits − Deleted the PP analysis set and any associated analyses − Replaced the ITT population with the FAS
