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.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy of two intensified consolidation strategies in very-high risk neuroblastoma (VHR-NBL) patients in terms of event-free survival from randomisation date. This evaluation will follow a hierarchical testing procedure: each experimental treatment will be first evaluated as a single-arm phase 2 study, and in case of positive conclusion, the relative efficacy of both arms will then be evaluated comparatively.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    •To estimate and compare the overall survival (OS) of patients treated in the two treatment strategies
    •To evaluate and compare the safety of the two treatment strategies in terms of toxic death and non-fatal toxicities rates.
    •To estimate and compare the disease response after BuMel and at the end of treatment of the two treatment strategies
    •To evaluate the between-treatment differences in Quality adjusted Time WIthout Symptoms and Toxicity (Q-TWiST approach)
    •To evaluate the feasibility and document the logistical issues raised by 131I-mIBG and topotecan therapy in a multicenter setting
    •To estimate and compare the Event-Free Survival of the two treatment strategies from the start of the intensified consolidation chemotherapy
    •To estimate and compare the Event-Free Survival of the two treatment strategies from the date of the neuroblastoma diagnosis

    7 - Patient affiliated to a social security regimen or beneficiary of the same according to local requirements.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1 - Parenchymal brain metastasis (even one)

    4 - Performance status (Karnofsky, Lansky) <70%
    5 - Patient having received other therapy for cancer treatment than those allowed as per the ongoing High Risk Neuroblastoma SIOPEN trial or as defined in the future frontlines protocol (for HRNBL1 trial : after induction + 2 TVD)
    6 - Impaired organ function (liver, kidney, heart, lungs)
    7 - Any uncontrolled intercurrent illness or infection that in the investigator’s opinion would impair study participation
    8 - Concomitant use with yellow fever vaccine and with live virus and bacterial vaccines

    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    3 years
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    •Overall survival
    •Adverse events, evaluated using NCI-CTCAE v5.0 toxicity grading system, reported by treatment phase and overall over the whole treatment duration (maximum grade).
    •Disease response after BuMel and at the end of treatment
    •For the Q-TWiST analysis: time spent with severe toxicity after randomization and before progression/relapse (duration of hospitalisation will be used as a surrogate of time with toxicity); time spent without progression/relapse and without toxicity; and time from progression until death.
    •Feasibility of each strategy of intensified consolidation chemotherapy
    •Event-Free Survival from the date of start of the consolidation phase
    •Event-Free Survival from the date of the neuroblastoma diagnosis
