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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Part 1
    To evaluate BGB324 safety in combination with dabrafenib/trametinib and to select the dose level of BGB324 for combination treatment with dabrafenib/trametinib in patients with advanced melanoma.

    Part 2
    To evaluate safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab and dabrafenib/trametinib in combination with BGB324 compared to pembrolizumab and dabrafenib/trametinib alone as first line treatment in patients with advanced melanoma.

    Part 3
    To explore safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab or dabrafenib/trametinib in combination with BGB324 and pembrolizumab or dabrafenib/trametinib alone as second line treatment in BRAF+ patients with advanced melanoma failing first line treatment in Part 2 of the study.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Part 1 and 2:
    - PK of BGB324 in combination with pembrolizumab and dabrafenib/trametinib compared the PK of BGB324 monotherapy using data from previous clinical studies with BGB324
    - PK of dabrafenib in combination With BGB324 compared to PK for dabrafenib administered in dabrafenib/trametinib combination (historical data)
    - long term combined safety and efficacy profile of combination treatment of BGB324 and standard therapy to standard treatment alone
    Part 3:
    To evaluate safety and efficacy of BGB324 in combination with pembrolizumab or dabrafenib/trametinib as second line treatment in melanoma patients failing first line treatment with dabrafenib/trametinib or pembrolizumab respectively in combination with BGB324 as first line treatment in patients BRAF+ at randomisation

    Exploratory
    - evaluate the predictive value of candidate biomarkers in blood, urine or tissue
    - assess effects of BGB324 on biological markers
    - Health-related Quality of Life of melanoma patients
