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   43846   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    [1] The patient has a diagnosis of HCC based on either:
    a. histopathologic or cytologic findings
    b. in the absence of histologic confirmation, a diagnosis of cirrhosis and HCC with classical imaging characteristics (that is, at least a 3-phase liver protocol CT or MRI and a lesion that demonstrates arterial hyperenhancement and washes out in the venous phase).
    [2] The patient received sorafenib treatment for at least 14 days and discontinued sorafenib treatment 14 days prior to randomization.
    [3] The patient experienced radiographically confirmed disease progression during or after discontinuation of sorafenib therapy or discontinued sorafenib treatment because of intolerance despite appropriate sorafenib management and supportive care.
    [4] The patient received sorafenib as the only systemic therapeutic intervention for advanced HCC.
    [5] The patient has 1 measurable lesion per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 (Eisenhauer et al. 2009) that has not been previously treated with locoregional therapy.
    [6] The patient is 18 years of age or of an age acceptable according to local regulations, whichever is older.
    [7] The patient has a Child-Pugh score of <7 (Child-Pugh Class A only).
    [8] The patient has Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) Stage C disease or BCLC Stage B disease not amenable to locoregional therapy or refractory to locoregional therapy.
    [9] The patient has a baseline AFP 400 ng/mL, as determined by local laboratory testing.

    Inclusion criteria for the Open-label Cohort are:
    Protocol Inclusion Criteria [2], [3], and [4] do not apply to the Open-
    Label Cohort. All other inclusion criteria apply to the Open-Label Cohort.
    The following additional Inclusion Criterion apply to the Open-Label
    Cohort:
    -The patient received ≤2 prior systemic therapy regimen, excluding prior
    sorafenib or chemotherapy, for the treatment of HCC.
    -The patient discontinued from prior systemic therapy 14 days prior to
    enrollment.
    -The patient experienced radiographically confirmed disease progression
    during or after discontinuation of prior systemic therapy or discontinued
    prior systemic treatment because of intolerance, despite appropriate
    management and supportive care.
    -Patients who have had a prior liver transplant may be eligible for this study in consultation with and approval by the Lilly CRP. The use and dose modification of immunosuppressive regimens are to be performed by investigators according to clinical judgement and local practice.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    [17] The patient has fibrolamellar carcinoma or mixed hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma.
    [18] The patient had a previous or has concurrent malignancy. Patients with carcinoma in situ of any origin and patients with prior malignancies who are in remission and whose likelihood of recurrence is very low, as judged by the investigator, may be eligible for this study in consultation with and approval by the Lilly CRP.
    [19] The patient has previously documented brain metastases, leptomeningeal disease, or uncontrolled spinal cord compression.
    [20] The patient has a history of or current hepatic encephalopathy (any grade) or clinically meaningful ascites. Clinically meaningful ascites is defined as CTCAE Grade >1 ascites resulting from cirrhosis. Patients who have been on a stable medical regimen (for 3 months) to manage ascites are eligible if they show no evidence of ascites on clinical exam that would require further intervention.
    [21] The patient has ongoing or recent (6 months prior to randomization) hepatorenal syndrome.
    [22] The patient had a prior liver transplant.
    [23] The patient received any previous systemic therapy with VEGF inhibitors or VEGF-Receptor inhibitors (including investigational agents) other than sorafenib for treatment of HCC.
    [24] The patient received any hepatic locoregional therapy (including radiation, surgery, hepatic arterial embolization, chemoembolization, radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, or percutaneous ethanol injection) following sorafenib or within 28 days prior to randomization. Use of locoregional therapy prior to sorafenib is allowed.
    [25] The patient received radiation to any nonhepatic (for example, bone) site within 14 days prior to randomization. Prior radiation to >25% total bone marrow is not allowed.

    Exclusion criteria for the Open-label Cohort are:

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Compare ramucirumab versus placebo in terms of OS in patients with advanced HCC after intolerance or progression on prior sorafenib.

    profile of ramucirumab in patients with advanced HCC after prior
    systemic therapy other than prior sorafenib.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The primary analysis will be performed after approximately 221 deaths have been observed.

    The primary endpoint for Open-label Cohort will be assessed after all
    patients enrolled in the Open-Label Cohort have completed at least 3
    cycles of ramucirumab or discontinued for any reason.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate: progression-free survival, time to radiographic progression, objective response rate (ORR), safety profile of ramucirumab, ramucirumab pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity of ramucirumab, time to deterioration in Eastern Cooperative Group performance status (ECOG PS), time to deterioration in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) Hepatobiliary Symptom Index-8 (FHSI-8) and otherpatient-reported outcome measures of disease-specific symptoms and health-related quality of life.

    The secondary objectives of the Open-label Cohort are to evaluate:
    overall survival (OS); progression-free survival (PFS); time to
    radiographic progression; objective response rate; ramucirumab
    pharmacokinetics; immunogenicity of ramucirumab; patient-reported
    outcome (PRO) measures of disease-specific symptoms and healthrelated
    quality of life.
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Secondary endpoints will be analyzed at the same time as OS and at the same level of significance.
    2 safety interim analyses are planned to be performed when approximately 50 and 150 patients have received 3 cycles of study treatment, died, or discontinued study treatment. Thereafter, safety review will be conducted twice annually, or as requested by the IDMC.

    Secondary end points for the Open-label Cohort will be assessed after all
    patients enrolled in the Open-Label Cohort have completed at least 3
    cycles of ramucirumab or discontinued for any reason.
