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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 of this study was to evaluate the progression free survival (PFS), based on independent radiologic review (IRR) of ASP8273 compared to erlotinib or gefitinib in patients with locally advanced, metastatic or unresectable stage IIIB/IV adenocarcinoma non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutations.

    End point description
    PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of radiological disease progression or until death due to any cause, based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1, as assessed by IRR. Results are based Kaplan-Meier estimate. The analysis population was the full analysis set (FAS), which consisted of all participants who were randomized. If a participant had neither progressed nor died, who received any further anticancer therapy for the disease before radiological progression, the participant was censored at the date of last radiological assessment. If progression or death occurred after missing 2 scheduled radiological assessments, the participant was censored at the date of last radiological assessment or at the date of randomization if no post-baseline radiological assessment was available. Data could not be calculated due to low number of events, and is denoted as "99999."

Comparison was tested at 1-sided significance level of 0.025. Hazard ratio based on Cox proportional hazards model. Assuming proportional hazards, HR < 1 indicated a reduction in hazard rate in favor of ASP8273 treatment group.

CR was defined as disappearance of all target and nontarget lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or nontarget) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm from baseline measurement. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters (longest for nonnodal lesions, short axis for nodal lesions) of target lesions taking as reference to the baseline sum of diameters.

    Duration of Response (DOR)
    End point description
    DOR was defined as the time from the date of the first response CR/PR (whichever was first recorded) as assessed by IRR to the date of radiographical progression or date of censoring. If a participant had not progressed, the participant was censored at the date of last radiological assessment or at the date of first CR/PR if no post-baseline radiological assessment was available. Results are based Kaplan-Meier estimate. The analysis population was the FAS. Only participants with best overall response as CR or PR (without confirmation) were included in the analysis. Data could not be calculated due to low number of events, and is denoted as "99999."

    Stratified Analysis
    Statistical analysis description
    Comparison between ASP8273 and Erlotinib or Gefitinib treatment groups was performed using log-rank test stratified by ECOG (0 and 1 vs 2), EGFR mutation type (exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R) and TKI chosen by the site (erlotinib or gefitinib) before randomization. Comparison was tested at 1-sided significance level of 0.025. Hazard ratio based on Cox proportional hazards model. Assuming proportional hazards, HR < 1 indicated a reduction in hazard rate in favor of ASP8273 treatment group.

    Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)
    End point description
    Safety was assessed by AEs, which included abnormalities identified during a medical test (e.g. laboratory tests, vital signs, electrocardiogram, etc.) if the abnormality induced clinical signs or symptoms, needed active intervention, interruption or discontinuation of study medication or was clinically significant. A treatment-emergent AE (TEAE) was defined as an AE observed after starting administration of the study drug. AEs were considered serious (SAEs) if the AE resulted in death, was life threatening, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, resulted in congenital anomaly, or birth defect or required inpatient hospitalization or led to prolongation of hospitalization. The analysis population was the safety analysis set (SAF), which consisted of participants who took at least 1 dose of study drug.

    Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – EGFR Inhibitors Subscale (FACT-EGFRI-18) Questionnaire
    End point description
    FACT-EGFRI-18 is an 18-item Likert-scaled questionnaire, used to assess the effect of EGFR inhibitors on quality of life (QoL). The questionnaire is arranged in three HRQL dimensions: physical (seven items), social/emotional (six items), and functional well-being (five items). The response scores ranged from 0 to 4, and the response categories include “not at all”, “a little bit”, “somewhat”, “quite a bit”, and “very much.” Negatively worded items (e.g., “My skin bleeds easily “or “My skin condition affects my mood”) are reverse-scored, so that participants who experience a higher impact of symptom burden on HRQL receive a lower score (range 0-72). The analysis population was the SAF.

    The EORTC-QLQ-LC13 is a validated module of the EORTC-QLQ-Core 30, which includes module items that evaluate symptoms such as cough, hemoptysis, shortness of breath, sore mouth or tongue, dysphagia, tingling hands or feet, hair loss and pain. The total score for the questionnaire ranges from 0 to 100. A high score for a functional scale represents a high/healthy level of functioning whereas a high score for a symptom scale or item represents a high level of symptomatology or problems.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The study was terminated due to Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) recommendation (after completion of a safety data review), due to excess toxicity with limited predicted efficacy of ASP8273 relative to erlotinib and gefitinib.
