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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives

    Other types of substudies
    Specify title, date and version of each substudy with relative objectives: Merck will conduct Future Biomedical Research on DNA (blood and tissue) specimens collected during this clinical trial. Such research is for biomarker testing to address emergent questions not described elsewhere in the protocol (as part of the main trial) and will only be conducted on specimens from appropriately consented subjects. The objective of collecting specimens for Future Biomedical Research is to explore and identify biomarkers that inform the scientific understanding of diseases and/or their therapeutic treatments. The overarching goal is to use such information to develop safer, more effective drugs, and/or to ensure that subjects receive the correct dose of the correct drug at the correct time.

    Altre tipologie di sottostudi
    specificare il titolo, la data e la versione di ogni sottostudio con i relativi obiettivi: Merck condurrà una Ricerca Biomedica Futura su campioni di DNA (estratti dal sangue e dai tessuti) raccolti nel corso di questo studio clinico. Tale ricerca ha lo scopo di esaminare vari biomarcatori per rispondere a domande che stanno emergendo e che non sono descritte in altre parti del protocollo (nell'ambito dello studio principale), e verrà condotta solo su campioni di soggetti che abbiano rilasciato apposito consenso. L'obiettivo della raccolta dei campioni per la Ricerca Biomedica Futura è quello di esplorare e identificare biomarcatori che contribuiscano scientificamente alla comprensione delle malattie e/o delle relative terapie. L'obiettivo ultimo è quello di utilizzare tali informazioni per sviluppare farmaci più sicuri e più efficaci, e/o per garantire che i soggetti ricevano la dose giusta del giusto farmaco al momento giusto.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Efficacy Endpoints This trial (MK3475-062) will use a dual endpoint of OS and PFS. PFS is an acceptable scientific endpoint for a randomized Phase III trial to demonstrate superiority of a new antineoplastic therapy. RECIST 1.1 will be used to determine the dates of progression as this methodology is accepted by regulatory authorities. Because the treatment assignment is unblinded for pembrolizumab monotherapy, images will be read by central radiologists blinded to treatment assignment to minimize bias in the response. RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the central vendor will be used as the primary PFS efficacy endpoint. Standard RECIST 1.1 will be used by the local site for treatment decisions until verification of PD by the central imaging vendor. Following verification of PD by central vendor, treatment decision may be made by the adaptation of RECIST 1.1, termed immune-related RECIST (irRECIST )
    Questa sperimentazione utilizzerà un doppio endpoint di OS e PFS. La PFS è un endpoint scientificamente adeguato per una sperimentazione randomizzata di fase III finalizzata a dimostrare la superiorità di una nuova terapia antitumorale. Per stabilire le date di progressione si utilizzeranno i criteri RECIST 1.1, dal momento che tale metodologia è accettata dalle autorità regolatorie. Poiché l’assegnazione del trattamento è in aperto per pembrolizumab in monoterapia, le immagini verranno lette centralmente da radiologi in cieco rispetto all’assegnazione del trattamento, al fine di minimizzare la distorsione nella valutazione della risposta.
    La progressione secondo RECIST 1.1, come valutata dal revisore centrale, verrà usata come endpoint primario di efficacia della PFS. Il centro locale utilizzerà i criteri RECIST 1.1 standard per le decisioni terapeutiche fino a verifica della PD da parte del centro preposto all’imaging centrale. Dopo verifica della PD da parte del revisore centrale, la decisione terapeutica potrà essere presa in base ai criteri RECIST 1.1 adattati, denominati RECIST immuno-correlati (irRECIST).
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Response will be assessed throughout the study. The first protocol defined response assessment is scheduled for Week 6, with additional assessments following at 6 week intervals.
    La risposta verrà valutata nel corso di tutto lo studio.La prima valutazione verrà fatta alla settimana 6, e poi ogni 6 settimane.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Safety Endpoints The safety objective of this trial is to characterize the safety and tolerability of pembrolizumab monotherapy and in combination therapy in subjects with gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma. The safety analysis will be based on subjects who experienced toxicities as defined by CTCAE criteria. Safety will be assessed by quantifying the toxicities and grades experienced by subjects who have received study treatments, including serious adverse events (SAEs) and events of clinical interest (ECIs). Safety will be assessed by reported adverse experiences using CTCAE, Version 4.0. The attribution to drug, time-of-onset, duration of the event, its resolution, and any concomitant medications administered will be recorded. AEs will be analyzed including but not limited to all AEs, SAEs, fatal AEs, and laboratory changes.
    Furthermore, specific immune-related adverse events (irAEs) will be collected and designated as immune-related ECIs.
    L’obiettivo di sicurezza di questa sperimentazione è la caratterizzazione della sicurezza e della tollerabilità di pembrolizumab in monoterapia e in terapia di combinazione in soggetti con adenocarcinoma gastrico o della GGE. L’analisi di sicurezza sarà basata sui soggetti che hanno manifestato tossicità secondo quanto definito dai criteri CTCAE. La sicurezza sarà valutata mediante la quantificazione delle tossicità, con relativi gradi, manifestate dai soggetti che hanno ricevuto i trattamenti dello studio, compresi gli eventi avversi gravi (serious adverse events, SAE) e gli eventi di interesse clinico (ECI).
    La sicurezza sarà valutata in base alle esperienze avverse riportate utilizzando i criteri CTCAE, versione 4.0. Si dovranno registrare l’attribuzione al farmaco, il momento dell’esordio, la durata dell’evento, la sua risoluzione e qualsiasi farmaco concomitante somministrato. Verranno analizzati gli AE, compresi, tra gli altri, tutti gli AE, i SAE, gli AE fatali e le alterazioni di laboratorio.
    Inoltre, specifici eventi avversi immuno-correlati (irAEs) possono essere raccolti e designati come eventi di interesse clinico immuno-correlati (ECIs).
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Safety will be assessed at all study visits conducted either in person or by phone
    La sicurezza sarà valutata a tutte le visite, sia di persona che al telefono.
