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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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.

    Unresectable locally advanced or metastatic, non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma, rare head and neck cancer, rare skin cancer, MSI-nonCRC or penile cancer, which is resistant or refractory to standard therapy, or for which standard therapy does not exist, or is not considered appropriate, and for which no other experimental treatment options are available.
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Diseases [C] - Cancer [C04]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy response to nivolumab monotherapy in cohorts of patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic, non-clear cell RCC, rare head and neck cancer, rare skin cancer, MSI-nonCRC or penile cancer, which is resistant or refractory to standard therapy, and for which no other treatment options are available.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    • To identify populations, for which the IP is expected to have a clinical benefit.
    • To assess the efficacy of nivolumab monotherapy in each cohort in terms of survival, progression occurrence and quality of response.
    • To assess the safety profile of nivolumab monotherapy.
    • To define predictive factors including biomarkers related to the response to nivolumab; in particular to explore whether the immunohistochemical expression of PD-L1 and other immune markers (CD3, CD4, FOXP3, CD8 or CD68/CD163) in the tumour samples (both in the tumour cells and the immune cells) is correlated with response to nivolumab.
    • To test if the mutational load measured in tumour samples from some of the studied cohorts can be correlated with response to nivolumab.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Biological Ancillary Study :
    The aim of the proposed ancillary studies is to address specific scientific questions related to potential predictive biomarkers of efficacy and the mechanism of action of the antitumour immune response, such as:
    • Which biomarkers are specifically associated with tumour response to treatment?
    • Which biomarkers are specifically associated with treatment-related toxicity?
    • What are the common immune parameters modified by the treatment in all patients?
    • Which tumour immune infiltration patterns are seen in responding versus non-responding patients?
    • Are identified biomarkers unique to a particular tumour, or universally present across all tumour types

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Objective response rate per cohort, defined as the percentage of patients in each cohort with a CR or PR measured at the first scheduled disease assessment following study treatment initiation (Day 84, ± 7 days) as assessed by an Independent Review Committee (IRC) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours version 1.1. (RECIST v1.1; Eisenhauer, 2009; Appendix 1).
    Patients who withdraw from the study prior to this time point and patients with non-evaluable disease will be considered as ’non-responders’ in the analysis.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    An initial analysis will be performed separately for each cohort after 10 patients have been enrolled and completed one on treatment disease assessment. For cohorts which continue to recruit patients, subsequent analysis of the primary endpoint will be performed after each 5 additional patients enrolled until recruitment is stopped or maximum sample size (25 patients) is reached.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    • Progression-free survival, defined as the time from inclusion until documented disease progression (PD) according to RECIST v1.1 or death, whichever occurs first.
    • Overall survival, defined as the time from inclusion until death due to any cause.
    • Best response to treatment according to RECIST v1.1, measured at any disease assessment during the course of the study.
    • Response duration, defined as the time from first observation of objective response (i.e. PR or CR) according to RECIST v.1.1 until PD or death, whichever occurs first.
    • Time to response, defined as the time from inclusion until observation of objective response (i.e. PR or CR) according to RECIST v.1.1.
    • Frequency and severity of adverse events assessed according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common terminology criteria for adverse events, version 4 (CTCAE v4, Appendix 2).
    • Progression-free survival, OS and ORR in subgroups of subjects according to expression level of PD L1 and other immune markers (high versus low expression with a cutoff value set at the median for the population measured).
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Secondary endpoints will be analysed after all enrolled patients have completed the specified follow-up period.
