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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 assess if GnRH antagonists improve progression free survival (progression that can be biological, clinical, or death) compared to GnRH agonists in combination with external beam radiation therapy in patients with high-risk localized or locally-advanced cancer who receive this treatment after initial radical prostatectomy or as primary therapy
    L’obiettivo primario della sperimentazione è quello di valutare se gli antagonisti dell’ormone di rilascio delle gonadotropine (Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone, GnRH) in combinazione con la radioterapia a fasci esterni migliorino la sopravvivenza libera da progressione (progressione che può essere biologica, clinica o coincidere con il decesso) rispetto ai GnRH-agonisti in combinazione con la radioterapia a fasci esterni in pazienti con carcinoma localizzato o localmente avanzato ad alto rischio, che ricevono questo trattamento dopo prostatectomia radicale iniziale o come terapia primaria.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    - documentation of effect of GnRH antagonists on clinically significant cardiovascular events in the subgroup of patients at high risk of such events at baseline;
    - documentation of side effects and quality of life, I-PSS and urinary tract infections;
    - assessment of relative treatment effect on secondary efficacy endpoints (clinical progression, time to next line of systemic therapy, time on therapy, overall and cancer specific survival) and on PSA at 6 months after end of RT
    Gli obiettivi secondari includono:
    - documentazione dell’effetto dei GnRH-antagonisti su eventi cardiovascolari clinicamente significativi nel sottogruppo di pazienti ad alto rischio di tali
    eventi al basale;
    - documentazione degli effetti collaterali e della qualità della vita, punteggio internazionale dei sintomi della prostata (International Prostate Symptom Score, I-PSS) e infezioni del tratto urinario;
    - valutazione del relativo effetto del trattamento sugli endpoint secondari di efficacia (progressione clinica, tempo alla linea successiva di terapia sistemica, durata della terapia, sopravvivenza complessiva e cancro-specifica) e sull’antigene prostatico specifico (prostatic specific antigen, PSA) a 6 mesi dal termine della radioterapia (RT).
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Patients may enter the trial once in either of two clinical settings where a combination therapy involving irradiation combined with androgen deprivation therapy is envisaged: a) patients who are scheduled for primary treatment by irradiation combined with minimum 18 months of androgen deprivation therapy or b) patients who were operated within the EORTC SPECTA 1553 study and who are scheduled to receive adjuvant or early salvage irradiation.
    Entry criteria for patients planned for primary radiotherapy:
    ¿ Histologically confirmed diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma diagnosed on a systematic ultrasound guided biopsy of the prostate containing at least 8 cores or a MRI/MRI-TRUS fusion biopsy of a suspect lesion. A TURP specimen pathology is allowed. Two of the following 4 risk factors for relapse:
    ¿ PSA = 20 ng/mL,
    ¿ Gleason sum = 8,
    ¿ cN1 (regional LN with a short axis length > 10mm by CT scan or MRI) or pathologically confirmed lymph nodes (pN1),
    ¿ cT3-T4 (by MRI or core biopsy)
    (i.e. If PSA= 20 ng/ml then only one of the other 3 risk factors is needed)
    Entry criteria for patients previously enrolled in EORTC SPECTA 1553, treated by radical prostatectomy:
    ¿ Radical prostatectomy in EORTC SPECTA 1553 performed within 1 year
    ¿ Scheduled to receive irradiation combined with 6 months of androgen deprivation therapy in the following cases:
    ¿ In the adjuvant setting with PSA = 0.1 ng/mL at 12 weeks post-surgery and/or = 2 pathologically confirmed positive nodes after radical prostatectomy
    ¿ For a biochemical recurrence (BCR) = 1 year after radical prostatectomy (defined as per guidelines as two consecutive rising serum PSA values greater than or equal to 0.2 ng/mL)
    Entry criteria for all patients
    Either of
    ¿ M0 according to standard imaging methods (i.e. bone scan and conventional CT/MR image) or M0 according to modern imaging methods (i.e. whole-body MRI, PET/CT)
    ¿ M0 according to bone scan and conventional CT/MR image and M1a and M1b only with = 3 lesions detected by modern imaging methods are also allowed, called "Oligometastatic disease". Patients with oligometastatic disease will undergo metastasis targeted therapy
    ¿ Testosterone = 200 ng/dL
    ¿ Adequate bone marrow function (absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ¿ 1.5 109/L; hemoglobin = 10.0 g/dl; platelets ¿ 100 109/L)
    ¿ Adequate hepatic function:
    ¿ Bilirubin: total bilirubin ¿ 1.5 ¿ upper limit of normal (ULN).
    ¿ AST and/or ALT = 2.5 ¿ ULN.
    ¿ Adequate renal function: calculated creatinine clearance = 50 mL/min
    ¿ Magnesium and potassium within normal limits at the institution
    ¿ WHO Performance status 0-1
    ¿ Age = 18 and = 80 years
    ¿ Participants who have partners of childbearing potential must use adequate birth control measures, as defined by the investigator, during the study treatment period and for at least 3 months after last dose of study treatment. A highly effective method of birth control is defined as those which result in low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly
    ¿ Before patient registration/randomization, written informed consent must be given according to ICH/GCP, and national/local regulations.
    I pazienti possono partecipare alla sperimentazione una sola volta, in uno o nell’altro di due contesti clinici in cui è contemplata una modalità di trattamento combinato, con radioterapia e deprivazione androgenica: a) pazienti in procinto di ricevere un trattamento primario di radioterapia combinata, per un minimo di 18 mesi, a deprivazione androgenica o b) pazienti sottoposti a intervento nel corso della sperimentazione SPECTA 1553 EORTC e in procinto di ricevere una radioterapia adiuvante o di salvataggio precoce.
    Criteri di ammissione per pazienti in procinto di ricevere radioterapia primaria:
    ¿ Diagnosi istologicamente confermata di adenocarcinoma della prostata diagnosticato sulla base di una biopsia prostatica sistematica eco-guidata contenente almeno 8 core o di una biopsia eseguita con fusione di immagini RM/RM-TRUS di una lesione sospetta. La resezione transuretrale della prostata (TURP) per l’esame istologico è consentita. Due dei seguenti 4 fattori di rischio per recidiva:
    PSA = 20 ng/ml,
    ¿ Somma di Gleason = 8,
    ¿ cN1 (linfonodo [LN] regionale con breve lunghezza dell’asse >10 mm evidenziati tramite TC o RMI) o linfonodi patologicamente confermati (pN1),
    ¿ cT3-T4 (tramite RMI o biopsia percutanea)
    (ovvero, se PSA = 20 ng/ml, allora è necessario solo uno degli altri 3 fattori di rischio)
    Criteri di ammissione per pazienti precedentemente arruolati nella sperimentazione SPECTA 1553 EORTC, trattati con prostatectomia radicale:
    ¿ Prostatectomia radicale nel corso della sperimentazione SPECTA 1553 EORTC eseguita entro 1 anno
    ¿ In procinto di ricevere la radioterapia combinata con 6 mesi di terapia di deprivazione androgenica nei seguenti casi:
    ¿ Nel setting adiuvante con PSA = 0,1 ng/ml a 12 settimane post-intervento chirurgico e/o = 2 linfonodi positivi in stadio patologico confermato dopo prostatectomia radicale
    ¿ Per una recidiva biochimica (BCR) = 1 anno dopo la prostatectomia radicale (definita, come da linee guida, come due aumenti consecutivi dei valori sierici di PSA maggiore o pari a 0,2 ng/ml)
    Criteri di ammissione per tutti i pazienti
    Uno dei seguenti criteri
    ¿ M0 secondo i metodi di imaging standard (ovvero scansione ossea e immagine TC/RM convenzionale) o M0 secondo i moderni metodi di imaging (cioè RM total body, PET/TC)
    ¿ M0 secondo la scansione ossea e l'immagine TC/RM convenzionale; sono consentiti anche M1a e M1b solo con = 3 lesioni rilevate con moderni metodi di imaging, denominati “Malattia oligometastatica”. I pazienti con malattia oligometastatica verranno sottoposti a terapia mirata per le metastasi
    ¿ Testosterone = 200 ng/dl
    ¿ Funzione adeguata del midollo osseo (conta assoluta dei neutrofili (ANC) =1,5 x 109/l; emoglobina = 10,0 g/dl; piastrine = 100 109/l)
    ¿ Funzione epatica adeguata:
    • Bilirubina: bilirubina totale = 1,5 x limite superiore della norma (ULN).
    • AST e/o ALT = 2,5 x ULN.
    ¿ Adeguata funzione renale: clearance della creatinina calcolata = 50 ml/min
    ¿ Magnesio e potassio entro i limiti della norma presso l’istituto ¿ Stato di validità OMS 0-1
    ¿ Età = 18 e = 80 anni
    ¿ I partecipanti che hanno una compagna in età fertile devono utilizzare misure contraccettive adeguate, come definite dallo sperimentatore, durante il periodo di trattamento dello studio e per almeno 3 mesi dopo l’ultima dose di trattamento dello studio. È definito altamente efficace un contraccettivo che risulti in un basso tasso d’insuccesso (ovvero, inferiore all’1 % annuo) se utilizzato regolarmente e correttamente
    ¿ Prima della registrazione/randomizzazione del paziente, deve essere fornito consenso informato scritto secondo le norme di Buona pratica clinica della Conferenza internazionale per l’armonizzazione (International Conference on Harmonization/Good Clinical Practice, ICH/GCP) e i regolamenti nazionali/locali.
