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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   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 analyse the olaparib efficacy in the treatment of patients diagnosed of advanced triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) with BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 promoter methylation assessed in somatic DNA.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Not applicable. It was not necessary to applied extra measures for protection of the subjects out of the good clinical practice environment.
    Background therapy
    Epigenetic silencing by aberrant BRCA1/2 promoters’ methylation can be responsible for a dysfunctional BRCA protein. BRCA1/2 promoters’ methylation occurs in 15-57% of triple negative breast cancer patients. BRCA1/2 promoters’ methylation breast cancer display pathologic features and genetic profiles like germline BRCA1/2-mutated (gBRCA1/2m) carriers. Olaparib is a PARP inhibitor approved for treating gBRCAm HER2-negative advanced breast cancer patients. These are the results of a phase II study assessing the Olaparib efficacy in advanced triple negative breast cancer patients with BRCA1/2 promoters’ methylation.

    Cancer cells are given a Grade (G) when they are removed from the breast and checked under a microscope. The G is based on how much the cancer cells look like normal cells. G1 or well differentiated (score 3, 4, or 5): cells are slower-growing, and look more like normal breast tissue. G2 or moderately differentiated (score 6, 7): cells are growing at a speed of and look like cells somewhere between G1 and 3. G3 or poorly differentiated (score 8, 9): cells look very different from normal and will probably grow and spread faster

    Overall Response Rate (ORR)
    End point description
    ORR is defined as the percentage of patients with a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) out of the patients from the efficacy population. Per RECIST, CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions; PR is defined as an >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Tumor response will be assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST 1.1). Efficacy population is a subset of the intend to treat population that has received at least one dose of study medication and has performed at least one tumor response assessment according to RECIST v.1.1 (unless a progression, death or unacceptable toxicity is seen before the first tumor response assessment).

    Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)
    End point description
    Tumor response was assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST 1.1) criteria. CBR was defined as the percentage of patients with a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) plus stable disease (SD) ≥ 24 weeks out of the efficacy population. Per RECIST, CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions; PR is defined as an >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; SD is defined as a failure to meet criteria for CR or PR in the absence of progressive disease. Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR. Efficacy population is a subset of the intend to treat population that has received at least one dose of study medication and has performed at least one tumor response assessment according to RECIST v.1.1 (unless a progression, death or unacceptable toxicity is seen before the first tumor response assessment).

    07 Jun 2017
    INTRODUCTION: Pharmacokinetics and safety information has been updated according to the most recent version of the Investigator Brochure (IB) (V.14 March 10, 2017). PROCEDURES FOR PATIENT SELECTION: It is emphasized that every effort should be made to obtain the sample for methylation analysis after the last treatment. It is specified that the analysis of germline BRCA1/2 mutations in blood can be carried out in the prior treatment line in those patients who are future candidates for inclusion in the trial. A specific HIP-ICF has been generated for this analysis. The timeframe for methylation analysis is changed from 10 to 8 working days, unless justified. It has been specified that plasma samples are required for all registered patients who send sample for methylation analysis. MANAGEMENT OF ADVERSE EVENTS AND CONCOMITANT MEDICATION: Olaparib dose adjustment instructions after anemia grade 3 have been updated (Section 5.4.1 Management of haematological toxicity). The instructions for concomitant medication are updated if 1) co-administration of moderate inhibitors of CYP3A is required, the olaparib dose should be reduced to 150 mg twice daily for the duration of treatment with the inhibitor and continue for 3 half-lives; 2) concomitant anticoagulant treatments it is updated that the administration of low molecular weight heparin is allowed and that if the patient is being treated with warfarin is should be follow-up the parameter APTT (5.5 "General Concomitant Medication and supportive care” REPORTING OF ADVERSE EVENTS AND PREGNANCIES The fax number for SAE and pregnancy reporting has been updated.
