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   43843   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.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Patients must meet all of the following criteria for study entry:
    1. Male or female patients ≥ 18 years of age.
    2. Patients must weigh ≥ 35 kg (due to possible size limitations with respect to percutaneous catheterization of the femoral artery and vein using the Delcath Hepatic Delivery System).
    3. 50% or less histologically or cytologically-proven ocular melanoma metastases in the parenchyma of the liver.
    4. Disease in the liver must be measurable by computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
    5. Evidence of limited extrahepatic disease on preoperative radiological studies is acceptable if the life threatening component of PD is in the liver. Limited extrahepatic disease is defined in this protocol as follows: metastasis in up to one other organ (bone, subcutaneous, or pulmonary), limited to up to 2 nodules and amenable to resection or radiation. The extrahepatic lesions should be no larger than 2 cm in diameter each. The rationale for permitting this limited extrahepatic disease is that these types of lesions are amenable to surgical resection or radiation.
    6. Scans used to determine eligibility (CT scan of the chest/abdomen/pelvis and MRI of the liver) must be performed within 28 days prior to randomization. An MRI of the liver is required at screening to validate that CT accurately reflects the extent of disease in the liver.
    7. Patients must not have had chemotherapy, radiotherapy, chemoembolization, radioembolization, or immunoembolization for their malignancy in the month prior to treatment and must have recovered from all side effects of therapeutic and diagnostic interventions except those listed in Appendix B of the study protocol. Patients receiving anti programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) immunotherapy such as pembrolizumab or nivolumab, or human cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 blocking antibody such as ipilimumab should wait 8 weeks before Melphalan/HDS treatment.
    8. Patients must have an ECOG PS of 0-1 at screening and on the day prior to treatment.
    9. Patients must have adequate hepatic function as evidenced by total serum bilirubin ≤1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN) and a prothrombin time (PT) within 2 seconds of the upper normal limit. Aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) must be ≤ 2.5 x ULN.
    10. Patients must have a platelet count > 100,000/μL, hemoglobin ≥ 10.0 gm/dL, white blood cell count (WBC) > 2,000/uL, absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 109/L, and a serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL unless the measured creatinine clearance is > 40 mL/min/1.73 m2.
    11. Provided signed informed consent.
    1. Pacientes de sexo masculino o femenino ≥ 18 años de edad.
    2. Los pacientes deben pesar ≥ 35 kg (debido a posibles limitaciones de tamaño con respecto al cateterismo percutáneo de la arteria y la vena femoral con el sistema de administración hepática de Delcath).
    3. 50 % o menos de metástasis de melanoma ocular constatadas de forma histológica o citológica en el parénquima hepático.
    4. La enfermedad hepática se debe poder medir mediante tomografía computarizada (TC) o resonancia magnética (RM).
    5. Los signos de enfermedad extrahepática limitada en los estudios radiológicos preoperatorios serán aceptables si el componente potencialmente mortal de la progresión de la enfermedad se encuentra en el hígado. La enfermedad extrahepática limitada se define en este protocolo como: metástasis en un órgano como máximo (huesos, subcutáneo o pulmonar), limitado a un máximo de 2 nódulos y susceptible de resección o radiación. Las lesiones extrahepáticas no deben ser mayores de 2 cm de diámetro cada una. El motivo de permitir esta enfermedad extrahepática limitada es que estos tipos de lesiones se pueden someter a una resección quirúrgica o recibir radiación.
    6. Las exploraciones utilizadas para determinar la elegibilidad (TC de tórax/abdomen/pelvis y RM del hígado) se deben realizar en los 28 días anteriores a la aleatorización. Es necesario realizar una RM del hígado en la selección para validar que la TC refleje de forma precisa el alcance de la enfermedad en el hígado.
    7. Los pacientes no deben haber recibido quimioterapia, radioterapia, quimioembolización, radioembolización ni inmunoembolización para su tumor maligno en el mes anterior al tratamiento y deberán haberse recuperado de todos los efectos secundarios de las intervenciones terapéuticas y diagnósticas con la excepción de los enumerados en el Apéndice B del protocolo del estudio. Los pacientes que estén recibiendo inmunoterapia con proteína de muerte programada de las células 1 (PD-1), como pembrolizumab o nivolumab o anticuerpo humano bloqueante del antígeno 4 de los linfocitos T citotóxicos como ipilimumab, deben esperar 8 semanas antes de recibir el tratamiento con melfalán/SAH.
    8. Los pacientes deben tener un EF del ECOG de 0-1 en la selección y el día anterior al tratamiento.
    9. Los pacientes deben tener un funcionamiento hepático adecuado, el cual quedará demostrado por una bilirrubina sérica ≤ 1,5 x límite superior de normalidad y un tiempo de protrombina (TP) dentro de los 2 segundos del límite superior de la normalidad (LSN). La aspartato aminotransferasa/alanina aminotransferasa (AST/ALT) debe tener un valor ≤ 2,5 x LSN.
    10. Los pacientes deben tener un recuento plaquetario > 100 000/µL, hemoglobina ≥ 10,0 mg/dL, recuento lecuocitario (RL) > 2000/uL, recuento absoluto de neutrófilos ≥ 1,5 x 109/L y creatinina sérica ≤ 1,5 mg/dL excepto si el aclaramiento de la creatinina medido es > 40 ml/min/1,73 m2.
    11. Ha firmado un consentimiento informado.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria

    2. Those with New York Heart Association functional classification II, III or IV active cardiac conditions, including unstable coronary syndromes (unstable or severe angina, recent myocardial infarction), worsening or new-onset congestive heart failure, significant arrhythmias and severe valvular disease must be evaluated for risks of undergoing general anesthesia.

    7. Lactating women are excluded from study participation.
    8. Patients taking immunosuppressive drugs or who are unable to be temporarily removed from chronic anti-coagulation therapy.
    9. Patients with active bacterial infections with systemic manifestations (malaise, fever, leucocytosis) are not eligible until completion of appropriate therapy.
    10. Patients with severe allergic reaction to iodine contrast, which cannot be controlled by premedication with antihistamines and steroids (because a hepatic angiogram is needed for the Delcath system procedure).

    In the event that disease has not progressed at the end-of-treatment visit, disease assessment scans will continue every 12 weeks (+ 2 weeks) until disease progression is documented. Patients will be contacted by phone every 6 months for survival status for the first two years following the completion of study treatment, then yearly thereafter, until death, withdrawal of informed consent or they become lost to follow-up, whichever occurs first.
    En caso de que la enfermedad no haya progresado en la visita de final del estudio, se continuarán realizando exploraciones de evaluación de la enfermedad cada 12 semanas (+ 2 semanas) hasta que se documente progresión de la enfermedad.
