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
    To evaluate the efficacy in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) of oral metronomic vinorelbine and cisplatin as an induction treatment and posteriorly with concomitant radiotherapy. The PFS is defined as the time since the randomization until the progression documentation or exitus for any reason ( any death with or without evidence of progression, will be considered events on the exitus date and these that will not progress in the moment of the analysis will be censored with the date of the last control).
    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 Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were followed.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Initially, 68 patients were recruited in 18 centers between April 2016 and June 2017. Although one of them was excluded after not meeting the first inclusion criteria, another for not being able to start treatment and another because their treatment did not follow the protocol. Finally 65 patients were finally selected for final analysis

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The study selected patients diagnosed with locally advanced NSCLC who had not performed no prior cytostatic, radiotherapy or surgical treatment for the disease.

    Progression-free Survival [1]
    End point description
    To assess the efficacy in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) of oral metronomic vinorelbine and cisplatin as induction therapy and then with concomitant radiotherapy. PFS is defined as the time from the moment of inclusion of the patient to documentation of progression or death from any cause (that is, patients who die without evidence of progression will be considered events on the date of death and those that have not progressed at the time of the analysis will be censored with the date of the last control).

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: The estimated median progression-free survival (PFS) was 11.5 months (95% CI 9.6-15.4), with an estimated PFS of 79.6% (95% CI 67.5-87.6%) at 6 months, 47.8% (95% CI 35.1-59.4%) at 12 months and 25.5% (15.5-36.6%) at 24 months. The NORA study provides a new concept to explore with the use of metronomic chemotherapy. The studied treatment achieves an estimated median PFS of 11.5 m and 47.8% (95% CI 35.1-59.4%) at 12 months, which in the case of the PACIFIC study is 16.8 m and 55 per year resp.

    Overall survival
    End point description
    Overall survival was measured from the date of inclusion of the patient until death or loss to follow-up. In patients who have not died, the duration of survival will be censored on the date of the last contact if the patient causes loss to follow-up or on the date of the latest news. Survival curves for overall survival have been estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, obtaining estimates for the measures and survival rates at different times with their corresponding confidence intervals with a confidence level of 95%, using the adequate procedures for estimating these intervals. We have an estimated median overall survival of 35.6 months (95% CI 24.4-46.8 months), with an estimated survival of 93.7% at 6 months (95% CI 84.1-97.6%) , 81.0% at 12 months (95% CI 69.0-88.7%) and 60.4% at 24 months (95% CI 47.2-71.2%).

    Objective tumor response
    End point description
    Objective response rate of the treatment, by assessing the target lesions according to the RECIST criteria (version 1.1). Objective response analyses was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method with a confidence level of 95%, using the appropriate procedures. The best response to treatment of these 65 patients is described, with 4 patients (6.2%) presenting a complete response (95% CI 2.4-14.8%), 39 (60.0%) presenting a partial response (95% CI 47.9-71.0%), 12 (18.5%) with stable disease (95% CI 10.9-29.6%), 7 with progression (10.8%) (95% CI 5.3 -20.6%) and 3 in which the response could not be evaluated (4.6%) (95% CI 1.6-12.7%). We can see that, of the 51 patients who have completed treatment, 4 (7.8%) present a CR, 36 (70.6%) a PD and 11 (21,6%) SD. We also have 14 patients who have not completed treatment, of which 3 (21.4%) presented partial response, 1 (7.1%) stable disease, 7 (50.0%) progression and 3 (21.4%) not evaluable.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Any adverse event or breakdown occurring during the course of the study. The investigator will have to collect all adverse events once they have signed informed consent, during treatment and 30 days after the last administration of the study.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    The severity of AE will be determined using CTCAE version 4.0. Consistent with EudraCT disclosure specifications, GECP has reported under the SAE field “number of deaths resulting from AE” 0 deaths, because there are not deemed to be causally related to treatment by the investigator. In total were 9 exitus.
