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 ).

    End point title
    Objective response rate (ORR)
    End point description
    The primary endpoint was ORR (based on investigator assessments) among all treated subjects, first line subjects and second line subjects. It was defined as the number of subjects with best overall response (BOR) of CR or PR divided by the number of all treated subjects, first line subjects or second line subjects. Best overall response was defined as the best response designation, as determined by investigator, recorded between the date of first dose and the date of objectively documented immunotherapy resistance per RECIST v1.1 or the date of subsequent therapy, whichever occurred first. For subjects stopping treatment for reasons other than immunotherapy resistance, delayed immunotherapy responses were recorded until subsequent therapy to determine BOR. For subjects without documented immunotherapy-refractory disease or subsequent therapy, all available response designations contributed to the ORR determination.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    ORR was based on best overall response, which was recorded between the date of first dose and the date of objectively documented immunotherapy resistance per RECIST v1.1 (see below for exceptions). Tumor assessment was performed every 8 weeks.

    End point description
    Clinical deterioration in the absence of unequivocal evidence of progression (per RECIST 1.1) was not considered progression for purposes of determining TIR. Subjects who died without a reported prior progression were considered to have progressed on the date of their death. Subjects who did not progress or died were censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment. Subjects who did not have any on study tumor assessments and did not die were censored on the date they were registered. Subjects who started any subsequent anti-cancer therapy without a prior reported progression were censored at the last evaluable tumor assessment prior to or on the date of initiation of the subsequent anti-cancer therapy. In case of substantial change of anticancer therapy, patients were considered to have progressed on the date of start of therapy.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    25 Oct 2016
    - Addition of the term legally acceptable representatives when signing the consent form in the inclusion criteria a) and b) and correspondingly in the exclusion criterion "o) Subjects who are unable to consent because they do not understand the nature, significance and implications of the clinical trial and therefore cannot form a rational intention in the light of the facts and who don’t have a legally acceptable representative". The possibility of a legally acceptabele representative giving consent to participation in the clinical trial was already provided for in the approved protocol version 1.1. of 21.6.2016 and was taken into account accordingly in the patient information and consent forms. In order to ensure completeness and accuracy, the wording of the inclusion criterion was adapted accordingly. - Revision of the exclusion criterion "History of severe hypersensitivity reaction to any monoclonal antibody or any constituent of the product" according to the deficiency letter of the PEI (enclosed with the initial application). - Addition of the exclusion criterion "Participation in another clinical intervention trial 30 days prior to registration". - According to RECIST 1.1 guidelines, it is recommended for single-arm studies with the endpoint Objective Remission Rate (ORR) to conduct a confirmatory tumour assessment after 28 days at the earliest in case of a response (partial response or complete response). The performance of the confirmatory scan was not included in protocol version 1.1. A confirmatory scan after 6 weeks (+1 week) was added to all necessary sections of the protocol in version 2.0 to ensure that the protocol complies with the applicable requirements for response evaluation according to RECIST 1.1.
    27 Jul 2017
    - The definition of a new baseline was added in accordance with another protocol of the sponsor and the same IMPs (Eudra-CT: 2016-004857-33). It was necessary to make clear that a new baseline according to RECIST 1.1 has to be defined before “boost” initiation based on the last prior tumor assessment. To state this more precisely in the respective sections was necessary to ensure a correct treatment decision. The determination of the ORR was specified to be related to the baseline tumor assessment prior to first dose. A new baseline has to be defined before “boost” initiation for a correct recording of response or therapy failure. This is necessary to assess the effect of “boost” and subsequent treatment decisions. In addition, chapter 3.2 Post Study Access to Therapy was clarified in line with the approval of the investigational medicinal products and taking patient safety into account. - In Chapter 3.5 Discontinuation of Subjects Following any Treatment with Study Drug, the criterion of rapid progression was included as a discontinuation criterion, depending on the decision of the investigator. - Specification of physical examinations in screening (Table 5.1-1) and safety assessments (table 5.1-2): “physical examination: Includes: general appearance; head, eyes, nose…”. - New information/instructions on the treatment of adverse events and permanent discontinuation of treatment with study drug(s) were added and the time period for the collection and reporting of SAEs (from the first dose of study drug and up to 100 days after the last dose of study drug(s)) was extended in line with another clinical trial of the sponsor with the same study drug(s). The time period for the collection and reporting of SAEs (from the first dose of the investigational product and until 100 days after the last dose of the investigational product(s)) is clarified.
    24 May 2018
    Due to delays in starting up the trial in international countries the planned number of 200 patients was not reached after 18 months. Therefore, the recruitment period was prolonged for 6 months to enable that patients can be included in all 8 participating countries. Total study duration was prolonged accordingly. Besides the prolongation of study duration, protocol was specified and adjusted considering experiences from the practice, especially for evaluation of tumor assessments within the planned time frame and the exact timing of treatment doses.
