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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    This is a two-part study of pembrolizumab monotherapy in participants with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). Part 1 of the study will examine the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab monotherapy as first line or above treatment in participants who have received either no prior systemic treatment or at least one prior systemic treatment for metastatic breast cancer. Part 2 of the study, if done, will expand the investigation of pembrolizumab treatment in a subgroup of participants from Part 1 and will only start after enrollment in Part 1 has been completed. There will be no hypothesis testing in this study.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practice standards and applicable country and/or local statutes and regulations regarding ethical committee review, informed consent, and the protection of human subjects participating in biomedical research. The following additional measure defined for this individual study was in place for the protection of trial subjects: subjects were permitted to be given rescue medication for management of infusion reactions, including but not limited to the following: intravenous (IV) fluids, antihistamines, nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), acetaminophen, narcotics, oxygen, pressors, corticosteroids, epinephrine. These medications would be administered according to local standards and practice.

    Objective Response Rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by Central Imaging Vendor (CIV) in All Cohort A Participants [1]

    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who had Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: ≥30% decrease in sum of diameters [SOD] of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1 by CIV. ORR was estimated by Agresti-Coull (A-C) method. The percentage of participants who had CR or PR is reported here as the protocol-specified ORR for the first pembrolizumab course, assessed from enrolment/treatment initiation and analyzed by Cohort, for all participants in Cohort A who got ≥1 dose of study drug. Per protocol final ORR analysis in all Cohort A participants was done at the time of final statistical efficacy analysis with a 10-November (Nov)-2017 cutoff. Per protocol ORR per RECIST 1.1 by CIV in all Cohort A participants was planned and conducted as a pre-specified primary outcome analysis and ORR per RECIST 1.1 by CIV in all Cohort B participants was analyzed separately as a pre-specified secondary outcome analysis and reported later in the record.

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a pre-existing condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor’s product is also an AE. Per protocol the number of participants who experienced at least one AE, for the first pembrolizumab course, was assessed from enrollment/treatment initiation of a participant and analyzed by Cohort and is reported here for all participants in Cohort A and Cohort B who received ≥1 dose of study drug.

    For participants who had CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (≥30% target lesion SOD decrease) per RECIST 1.1 by CIV, DOR was defined as time from first documented CR or PR until progressive disease (PD: ≥20% target lesion SOD increase, ≥5 mm absolute SOD increase; PD is also ≥1 new lesion appearance) or death. DOR for those who didn’t progress/die at time of analysis was censored at last tumor assessment. Per protocol DOR for the first pembrolizumab course, assessed from enrolment/treatment initiation, estimated by Kaplan-Meier (KM) method and analyzed by cohort is reported here for all participants in Cohort A and Cohort B who had CR or PR per RECIST 1.1 by CIV and got ≥1 dose of study drug. Per protocol final DOR analysis in all Cohort A and Cohort B participants was done at the time of final statistical efficacy analysis with a 10-Nov-2017 cutoff. "99999" indicates no PD by last assessment.

    Odds Ratio of Association Between PD-L1 Tumor Expression and Objective Response (OR) per RECIST 1.1 by CIV in Cohort A Participants
    End point description
    OR comprises CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (≥30% target lesion SOD decrease) per RECIST 1.1 by CIV. PD-L1 expression is assessed by IHC-defined combined positive score (CPS). Association between (b/w) PD-L1 CPS and OR was assessed by odds ratio by a logistic regression model and calculated as ratio of odds of OR per unit CPS increase in a single arm (odds ratio=1: no association; odds ratio<1: negative association [increase in CPS lowers odds of OR]; odds ratio >1: positive association [increase in CPS raises odds of OR]). Per protocol odds ratio for the first pembrolizumab course, assessed from enrolment/treatment initiation and analyzed by Cohort is reported here in a single arm of Cohort A participants with PD-L1 CPS who got ≥1 dose of study drug. Per protocol odds ratio was analyzed with a final statistical efficacy analysis cutoff of 10-Nov-2017. Per protocol odds ratio of association b/w PD-L1 expression and OR was not planned or done in Cohort B participants.
