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   43846   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate that avelumab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy followed by avelumab maintenance (Arm C) is superior to platinum-based chemotherapy alone followed by observation (Arm A) in prolonging progression free survival (PFS) in subjects with previously untreated epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Also, to demonstrate that platinum-based chemotherapy alone followed by avelumab maintenance (Arm B) is superior to platinum-based chemotherapy alone followed by observation (Arm A) in prolonging PFS in patients with previously untreated EOC.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all International Council for Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were followed.

    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.

PFS data censored on date of last adequate tumor assessment for subjects who did not have an event (progression of disease or death),who started new anti-cancer therapy prior to an event or subjects with an event after 2 or more missing tumor assessments. Progression as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1:at least a 20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is smallest on study). In addition to relative increase of 20%, the sum must have also demonstrated an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered progression. Analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method. Median and upper limit of 95% CI was not estimable due to limited number of events and has been denoted by '99999'.

    pCR was defined (for neoadjuvant subjects who underwent interval debulking surgery [IDS]), as the chemotherapy response score 3 (CSR3), based on a study by Bohm et al, 2015. CSR3 was defined as complete or near-complete response with no residual tumor or minimal irregularly scattered tumor foci seen as individual cells, cell groups, or nodules up to 2 mm. Complete or near-complete response was defined as complete or near-complete microscopic disappearance of invasive tumor/ residual disease.

    PFS2 was defined as time (in months) from the date of randomization to the start of second subsequent treatment after first documentation of PD, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Progression as per RECIST version 1.1, was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this included the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must have also demonstrated an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered progression. Analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method. The trial was terminated due to crossing of futility boundaries for both experimental arms as compared to the control arm at the pre-specified interim analysis for PFS based on BICR assessment. Subsequently, the data for this endpoint was not collected and analyzed.

    End point description
    PFS by GCIG was assessed by both RECIST 1.1 and cancer antigen 125 (CA-125). Defined as time from randomization to first documentation of disease progression (PD) or death, whichever occurred first. PD defined as per RECIST 1.1. PD based on serum CA-125 was defined as (i) subjects with elevated CA-125 pretreatment and normalization of CA-125, (ii) CA-125 in reference range before treatment; (i) and (ii) must have showed CA-125 >= 2 times upper limit of reference range on 2 occasions >= 1 week apart, or (iii) elevated CA-125 before treatment, which never normalized, showed CA-125 >= 2 times the nadir value on 2 occasions >= 1 week apart. Censoring date for PFS by GCIG was latest of censoring dates for PFS by RECIST 1.1 and PFS by CA-125. Trial was terminated due to crossing of futility boundaries for both experimental arms as compared to the control arm at pre-specified interim analysis for PFS based on BICR assessment.

    Functional Assessment of Ovarian Symptom Index- 18 (FOSI-18) Score
    End point description
    The National Comprehensive Cancer Network-Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (NCCN-FACT) Ovarian Symptom Index-18 (FOSI-18) is an 18-itemed questionnaire, completed by patients, designed to assess the impact of cancer therapy on ovarian cancer-related symptoms. It is based on numerical point scoring of symptoms. It includes three subscales: disease-related symptoms (10 items), treatment-related side effects (5 items) and general function/well-being (3 items). Subjects rated their level of symptoms for each of the 18 items using 5-point scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). For items that were negatively framed, scores were reversed for analysis so that higher scores equated to good quality of life. The total symptom index was calculated as the total of 18 scores, ranging from 0 ("severely symptomatic") to 72 ("asymptomatic"). Higher FOSI-18 scores indicated better functioning or lower symptom burden. The full analysis set included all randomized subjects.

    European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Score
    End point description
    EQ-5D-5L:standardized subject completed questionnaire that measures health-related quality of life and translates that score into an index value or utility score. EQ-5D-5L consists of two components: a health state profile and an optional visual analogue scale (VAS). In VAS, subjects rated their overall health status from 0 (worst imaginable) to 100 (best imaginable). EQ-5D health state profile has 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: 1=no problems, 2=slight problems, 3=moderate problems, 4=severe problems, and 5=extreme problems. 57 overall scores ranged from 0 to 1, with low scores representing a higher level of dysfunction. Trial was terminated due to crossing of futility boundaries for both experimental arms as compared to the control arm at the pre-specified interim analysis for PFS based on BICR assessment. Data for this outcome measure was not collected and analyzed.

Each cycle was of 21 days (3 weeks). After completion of chemotherapy phase, subjects were followed every 12 weeks for survival status until death or until study completion, whichever was earlier or a maximum duration of 24 months in observation phase. Subjects were then followed up to Month 36 for safety evaluation.
