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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Cohort 1:
    To assess ORR when ipilimumab is added to nivolumab after progression on nivolumab monotherapy in patients relapsed with non-squamous NSCLC (second line).
    Note: Cohort 1 is closed for enrollment. Subjects who started screening for cohort 1 prior to stop of recruitment initiated by Coordinating PI on April 25 2019 will continue to receive treatment. SCLC subjects eligible for BIOLUMA will be enrolled in cohort 2b after TMB-Prescreening from October 29 2018 on.
    Cohort 2a:
    To assess ORR of the combination therapy of ipilimumab and nivolumab in patients with relapsed SCLC and non-discriminated TMB (second line).
    Note: Cohort 2a is closed for enrollment. SCLC Subjects eligible for BIOLUMA will be enrolled in Cohort 2b after TMB-Prescreening from October 29 2018on.

    Cohort 2b:
    To assess ORR of the combination therapy of ipilimumab and nivolumab in patients with relapsed SCLC and high TMB (second line).

    Kohorte 1 (NSCLC): Erhebung der Ansprechrate der Kombinationstherapie aus Nivolumab und Ipilimumab nach Tumorprogress unter Nivolumab-Monotherapie bei Patienten mit rezidiviertem AD-NSCLC in der Zweitlinientherapie.

    Für Kohorte 1 wurde ab dem 25.04.2019 durch den Sponsor aus medizinischen Gründen ein Einschlussverbot erteilt.

    Kohorte 2a (SCLC): Erhebung der Ansprechrate der Kombinationstherapie aus Nivolumab und Ipilimumab bei Patienten mit rezidiviertem SCLC und nicht weiter diskriminierter Tumor-Mutationslast in der Zweitlinientherapie.

    In Kohorte 2a kann seit dem 29.10.2018 nicht mehr eingeschlossen werden.

    Kohorte 2b (SCLC): Erhebung der Ansprechrate der Kombinationstherapie aus Nivolumab und Ipilimumab bei Patienten mit rezidiviertem SCLC und hoher Tumor-Mutationslast in der Zweitlinientherapie.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    •To assess efficacy of nivolumab monotherapy/ nivolumab + ipilimumab combination therapy
    •To characterize safety and tolerability of nivolumab monotherapy/ nivolumab + ipilimumab combination therapy
    •To assess the predictive value of PD-L1- and PD-L2 positivity of tumor cells for response to nivolumab monotherapy/ nivolumab + ipilimumab combination therapy
    •To correlate overall TMB and neoepitope signatures with clinical outcome in the NSCLC cohort and in the SCLC cohort recruited before restriction to TMB high patients
    •To correlate neoepitope signatures with clinical outcome in the SCLC TMB high cohort
    •Erhebung der Wirksamkeit der Nivolumab-Monotherapie und der Kombinationstherapie mit Nivolumab und Ipilimumab
    •Charakterisierung der Sicherheit und Tolerabilität der Nivolumab-Monotherapie und der Kombinationstherapie mit Nivolumab und Ipilimumab
    •Beurteilung des prädiktiven Wertes der PD-L1- und PD-L2-Positivität der Tumorzellen für das Ansprechen auf die Nivolumab-Monotherapie und Kombinationstherapie mit Nivolumab und Ipilimumab
    •Korrelation von Mutationslast und Neoepitop-Signaturen mit dem klinischen Therapieansprechen in der NSCLC-Kohorte und in der SCLC-Kohorte, welche vor der Beschränkung auf Patienten mit hoher Tumor-Mutationslast eingeschlossen wurden
    •Korrelation von Neoepitop-Signaturen mit dem klinischen Therapieansprechen in der SCLC-Kohorte mit hoher Tumor-Mutationslast

    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Note: Cohort 1 is closed for enrollment. Subjects who started screening for cohort 1 prior to stop of recruitment initiated by Coordinating PI on April 25 2019 will continue to receive treatment.

    • Cohort 1: Subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who present with stage IIIB/IV disease after failure of platinum-based first-line therapy (second line). Subjects who received adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy or definitive chemoradiation and develop recurrence or progression, with evidence of stage IIIB-IV disease within 6 months after completion of therapy, are eligible.

    • Cohort 2a: Subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed limited-stage or extensive-stage small cell lung cancer after failure of platinum-based first-line therapy with or without anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment.(TMB non-discrimated SCLC patients).
    Note: Cohort 2a is closed for enrollment.

    • Cohort 2b: Subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed limited-stage or extensive-stage TMB high small cell lung cancer after failure of platinum-based first-line therapy with or without anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment.Inclusion after 2nd line Topotecan-Therapy is allowed. Only TMB high SCLC patients are included, as tested on tumor material during routine biopsies for first diagnosis (whole exome sequencing on FFPE tissue). For definition of TMB high, please refer to chapter 5.5.1.2

    The following inclusion criteria apply for Cohort 1, 2a and 2b:
    • Signed and dated IRB/IEC-approved written informed consent form must be obtained before the performance of any study-specific procedure
    • Male or female patients over 18 years of age
    • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0-1
    • Subjects must be willing to undergo at baseline screening biopsy.
