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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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
    The primary objective was to assess the clinical benefit rate (CBR) of rucaparib in previously treated metastatic breast cancer patients with a BRCAness profile or a BRCA1/2 somatic mutation, and if significant, to assess the overall response rate (ORR).
    Protection of trial subjects
    An Independent Ethics Committees reviewed and gave a favorable opinion to the study documents, including the initial protocol and all subsequent amendments, and all information and documents provided to subjects/patients. This study was conducted in accordance with: * The Declaration of Helsinki (1964) and subsequent amendments * The Good Clinical Practices defined by the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH–E6, 17/07/96 * The European Directive (2001/20/CE) * The Huriet’s law (n° 88-1138) of December 20th, 1988, relative to the protection of persons participating in biomedical research and modified by the Public Health Law n°2004-806 of August 9th, 2004, * The law on ‘informatics and freedom’ (Informatique et Libertés n° 78-17) of January 6th,1978 modified by the law n° 2004-801 of August 6th, 2004 relative to the protection of persons with regard to the computerized processing of personal data * The bioethic law n°2011-814 of July 8, 2011.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    RUBY was a single arm, open-label, multicentric, phase II trial assessing the efficacy of the PARP inhibitor rucaparib. Patients had HER2 negative, BRCAness profile defined by Clovis genomic signature or BRCA1/2 somatic mutation, progressing breast cancer with at least one line of chemotherapy at the metastatic setting.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The study consisted of a 28-day screening phase to establish patients' eligibility and document baseline measurements, a treatment phase (28-day treatment cycles until disease progression), and a long-term follow-up to monitor the clinical benefit rate, progression-free survival, overall survival, and the prognostic value of the Clovis signature.

    DIsease evolution was assessed every 8 weeks until disease progression (up to 30 moths) according to RECIST evaluation.
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: The primary endpoint was the clinical benefice rate. The decision rule was that least 11 of 37 evaluable patients were required to achieve a clinical response in order to claim for the success of the study.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    19 Jun 2015
    Following the request of the competent authority (ANSM), the sponsor modified the information relative to contraception in the protocol and the patient consent form. A serum pregnancy test was requested before initiation of all treatment cycles. Hormonal contraception were excluded due to potential interactions with rucaparib.
    17 Jul 2015
    * The protocol was modified to specifiy the link between SAFIR02 and RUBY studies. Patients not eligible to randomization in the SAFIR02 study (but meeting all the inclusion/exclusion criteria of the RUBY study) may be included. * Rucaparib in 120 mg tablets were replaced by 200 mg tablets, the first step of the dose modification strategy was modified and the third level of dose reduction implemented to be consistent with other clinical trilas using rucaparib montherapy 600 mg b.i.d, every day in 28-day cycles.
    30 Jun 2016
    * Patients were allowed to take 2 x 300mg tablets or 3 x 200 mg tablets. * Patient who consented to participate to the ancillary study were asked for blood samples. The volume of blood collected was reduced from 30 mL to 20 mL in "Streck” tubes instead of EDTA tubes. * An independent committee of radiologist was implemented to confirm the investigator radiological-based assessment of rucaparib efficacy. * The safety section of the protocol was amended following publication of the version7 of rucaparib’s investigator brochure. Particular attention of grade 3 cholesterol increase was recommended. Also, warning were introduced regarding drug-drug interaction between rucaparib and statins. This modification impacted the collection of SAE by the pharmacovigilance unit at UNICANCER. *Following the publication of the version 7 of rucaparib’s investigator brochure, myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia were considered adverse events of special interest.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Limitations of the trial are the small number of subjects analysed, the lack of comparison (single arm study) of rucaparib with usual chemotherapy in patients with high genomic instability associated with poor outcome.
