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.

    		 Percentage of Subjects with Adverse Events [1]
    End point description
    An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.

    An OR was defined as a complete or partial response determined on 2 consecutive occasions ≥ 4 weeks apart using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Complete response was defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must be < 10 mm on the short axis. Partial response was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum. Participants who had no post-baseline tumor assessment were counted as non-responders.

    End point description
    ATAs are antibodies that inactivate the therapeutic effects of Atezolizumab. Patients are considered to be ATA positive if they are ATA negative at baseline but develop an ATA response following study drug administration (treatment-induced ATA response), or if they are ATA positive at baseline and the titer of one or more post-baseline samples is at least 4-fold greater (i.e., ≥ 0.60 titer units) than the titer of the baseline sample (treatment-enhanced ATA response).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    21 Dec 2016
    Study schema related to study drug discontinuation has been clarified with regards to discontinuation for toxicity and treatment beyond progression. Safety, pharmacokinetic, and immunogenicity endpoints for the study have been clarified. Bone scan requirements have been clarified with regards to frequency. On the basis of updated clinical data regarding the atezolizumab half-life of 27 days, the abstinence period and when to use of live vaccine was revised. Tumor specimen requirements have been clarified. Inclusion criteria related to local laboratory assessments for screening have been clarified. Exclusion criteria related to cardiopulmonary dysfunction, patients with severe infection, leptomeningeal disease, washout period of prior anti-cancer therapy has been added/revised. The unblinding of treatment assignment at the patient level for non-safety reasons has been clarified with regards to when this is permitted. The recalculation of the trastuzumab emtansine dose at every cycle based on a patient’s weight has been clarified. The frequency and type of tumor assessments to be performed after the screening period have been specified. On the basis of a review of clinical data, Epstein Barr virus testing is no longer required and has been removed from the protocol. The alpha spending function to be used for testing the primary efficacy endpoint PFS to account for the conduct of one interim analysis was changed from a gamma function with parameter -8 to a gamma function with parameter -1.
    09 Aug 2017
    The interim analysis for PFS has been removed. The number of PFS events for the primary PFS analysis has been increased from 95 to 115. The first analysis of OS will be performed at the time of the primary PFS analysis. Another update for OS will be performed at approximately 12 months after the primary PFS analysis. The final OS analysis will be performed at approximately 24 months after the primary PFS analysis or when ~50% OS events from 200 patients can be obtained, whichever occurs first. The Sponsor may consider additional OS updates beyond 24 months after primary PFS analysis if more mature OS data are requested by the Health Authority. The changes allow for a better understanding of the therapeutic effects of the experimental treatment on OS and provide more mature data for benefit-risk assessment with the additional follow-up period for survival data. The assumed median PFS time for the control arm, trastuzumab emtansine plus placebo, has been changed from 9.6 months (observed in EMILIA study) to 6.2 months (observed in TH3RESA study) to reflect the observed prior treatment demographics of patients enrolled in the study. The estimated time for primary PFS analysis has been changed from approximately 19−21 months after first patient enrolled to approximately 15−17 months after first patient enrolled, due to the updated assumption of median PFS time for the control arm and the updated number of events for primary PFS analysis. The pregnancy reporting process has been clarified and the safety risks for trastuzumab emtansine and atezolizumab have been updated. Brain assessment, brain computed tomography/magnetic resonance imagining requirements, and event reporting for hospitalization have been clarified and the reporting of the term "sudden death" has been updated to also require the presumed cause of death. The process for reviewing and handling protocol deviations has been updated per internal standard operating procedures.
    28 Feb 2018
    Updated information regarding the independent data monitoring committee (iDMC) recommendation and the Sponsor's decision to unblind treatment assignment. Modifications were made to the information regarding the frequency of tumor assessments and collection of tumor assessment scans following PFS analysis. Placebo administration was removed for patients randomized to Arm A. Imaginng data used for tumor assessment would no longer be collected by the Sponsor. For participants in Arm A, the thyroid function test woul no longer be perfromed and PK and ATA samples would not be collected. Language regarding post-trial access was modified to align with current standardsd. The time period for storage of tumor tissue samples was clarified. Language was added to clarif the use of samples after withdrawl of participant consent. Language was added and modified to align with the most recent Investigator's Brochure. eCRF use of recording of death attributed to progression of metastatic breast cancer was clarified. Safety analyses and criteria related to PFS assessed using the Immune-Modified RECIST was amended to be consistent with the SAP.
    30 Nov 2018
    Blood samples would no longer be collected for the analysis of trastuzumab emtansine and atezolizumab PK and ATAs. Blood samples for biomarker analyses would no longer be collected. Text was added to clarify that the Sponsor may decide to terminate the study after the OS analysis that was planned for 12 months after the primary PFS analysis and the duration of the study ws clarified to be a maximum of 40 months. The option to conduct OS analysis beyond 24 months after the primary analysis was removed. Inclusion criteria was modified to specify when women must refrain from donating eggs. Instructions regardng participant withdrawl from the Roche Bosample Repositiory after site closure was modified to indicate that the investigator must inform the Sponsor of participant withdrawl. The lists of risks for atezolizumab and guidelines for managing participants who experienced atezolizumab AEs were revised to include nephritis. Language was added for consistency with Roche's current data retention policy.
    25 Oct 2019
    Background information regarding atezolizumab was updated. The list of atezolizumab risks was updated as well as the guidelines for managing participants who experience-atezolizumab AEs to include myositis. "Immune-related" was changed to "Immune-mediated" when describing events associated with atezolizumab. To address a request by the French National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM), language regarding atezolizumab risks was revised to remove the description and management guidelines for systemic immune activation and to add descriptions and management guidelines for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and macrophage activation syndrome. The medical monitor changed. Language was updated to indicate that therapeutic or elective abortions were not considered AEs and that the underlying toxicity should be reported as a seriours AE. Language was added to clarify that all abortions needed to be reported on the Clinical Trial Pregnancy Reporting Form paper. Language was added for consistency with Roche's current data retention policy, and to indicate that the study would comply wih applicable local, regional. and national laws. Language was revised to clarify that the datd from this study would not be limited to 2 clinical trail registries and that redacted Clinical Study Reports and other summary reports were available upon request. To address a request by the French ANSM, the atezolizumab AE management guidelines were revised to add laboratory and cardiac imaging abnormalities as signs or symptoms that are suggestive of myocarditis.
