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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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
    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 have had no chemotherapy or radiotherapy 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.
    Per poter essere ammessi nello studio, i pazienti devono soddisfare tutti i criteri elencati di seguito:
    1. Pazienti di sesso maschile o femminile di età ≥ 18 anni.
    2. Peso ≥ 35 kg (a causa di possibili limitazioni legate alla corporatura per quanto riguarda il cateterismo percutaneo della vena e dell'arteria femorale utilizzando il sistema di somministrazione epatica Delcath).
    3. 50% o meno di metastasi da melanoma oculare nel parenchima epatico comprovate istologicamente o citologicamente.
    4. Malattia epatica misurabile mediante tomografia computerizzata (TC) e/o risonanza magnetica (RM).
    5. Evidenze di malattia extraepatica limitata negli esami radiologici preoperatori sono accettabili se la
    componente potenzialmente fatale della PD è a livello epatico. In questo protocollo, la malattia
    extraepatica limitata è definita come segue: metastasi in non più di un altro organo (ossee, sottocutanee o polmonari), con limitazione di massimo 2 noduli e che possano essere sottoposte a resezione o a radioterapia. Nessuna delle lesioni extraepatiche deve presentare un diametro superiore a 2 cm. Il motivo per il quale questa malattia extraepatica limitata è consentita è che questo tipo di lesioni possono essere sottoposte a resezione chirurgica o a radioterapia.
    6. Gli esami utilizzati per stabilire l'idoneità (TC di torace/addome/pelvi e RM del fegato) devono essere eseguiti entro 28 giorni prima della randomizzazione. Una RM del fegato è necessaria allo screening per confermare che la TC rifletta accuratamente l'estensione della malattia nel fegato.
    7. I pazienti non devono essere stati sottoposti a chemioterapia o radioterapia per il tumore nel mese precedente al trattamento e devono essersi ripresi da tutti gli effetti indesiderati associati agli interventi terapeutici o diagnostici, ad eccezione di quelli
    elencati nell'Appendice B del protocollo dello studio. I pazienti sottoposti a immunoterapia anti PD-1 (programmed cell death protein 1), ad esempio con pembrolizumab o nivolumab, o trattati con anticorpi che bloccano l'antigene 4 dei linfociti T citotossici
    umani devono attendere 8 settimane prima del trattamento con melfalan/HDS.
    8. I pazienti devono presentare un PS ECOG pari a 0-1 allo screening e il giorno precedente il trattamento.
    9. I pazienti devono presentare una funzionalità epatica adeguata, comprovata da livelli di bilirubina sierica totale ≤ 1,5 volte il limite superiore della norma (ULN) e un tempo di protrombina (PT) entro 2 secondi dal limite superiore della norma. I livelli di
    aspartato aminotransferasi/alanina aminotransferasi (AST/ALT) devono essere ≤ 2,5 volte l'ULN.
    10. I pazienti devono presentare una conta piastrinica > 100.000/μL, emoglobina ≥ 10,0 g/dL, conta dei globuli bianchi (WBC) > 2.000/μL, conta assoluta dei neutrofili ≥ 1,5 x 109/L e creatinina sierica ≤ 1,5 mg/dL, a meno che la clearance della creatinina misurata non sia > 40 mL/min/1,73 m2.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria

    at least 4 months after last administration of study treatment.
    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).

    4. Pazienti di sesso femminile in età fertile (ossia che hanno avuto mestruazioni negli ultimi 12 mesi) non in grado o non disposte a
    sottoporsi a terapia di soppressione ormonale per evitare la comparsa delle mestruazioni durante il trattamento.
    5. Pazienti di sesso femminile in età fertile (ossia che hanno avuto mestruazioni negli ultimi 12 mesi) con test di gravidanza sul

    10. Pazienti con reazioni allergiche gravi al mezzo di contrasto a base di iodio, che non possono essere controllate mediante
    premedicazione con antistaminici e steroidi (poiché la procedura del sistema Delcath prevede l'esecuzione di un'angiografia
    epatica).
    11. Pazienti con anamnesi di ipersensibilità o con ipersensibilità nota al melfalan o ai componenti del sistema melfalan/HDS.

    21. Assunzione di un qualsiasi farmaco sperimentale per qualsiasi indicazione nei 30 giorni precedenti il primo trattamento.
    22. Mancato recupero dagli effetti indesiderati di una terapia precedente a un grado ≤ 1 (in base ai criteri comuni di terminologia
    per gli eventi avversi [CTCAE versione 4.03] del National Cancer Institute [NCI]). Sono consentiti alcuni effetti indesiderati di grado

    metastatico con malattia prevalentemente epatica trattati con melfalan/HDS rispetto alla migliore terapia alternativa (MTA).
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The study endpoint will be measured at the conclusion of Melphalan/HDS treatment
    L'end point dello studio sarà valutato alla conclusione del trattamento con Melphalan/HDS
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    - Progression Free Survival (PFS) as determined by the Investigator
    - Objective Response Rate (ORR) (complete response + partial response) as determined by the Investigator
    Progression Free Survival come determintato dallo sperimentatore
    - Tasso di risposta obiettivo (risposta completa + risposta parziale) come determinato dallo sperimentatore
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    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
    Nel caso in cui la malattia non è progredita alla visita di fine trattamento, scansioni di valutazione malattia continueranno ogni 12 settimane (+ 2 settimane) fino a che la progressione della malattia non sarà documentata. I pazienti saranno contattati tramite telefono ogni 6 mesi per verificare lo stato di sopravvivenza per i primi due anni dopo il completamento del trattamento, poi annualmente, fino alla morte, ritiro del consenso informato o persi al followup, a seconda di quale si verifica prima.
