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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Between April 26, 2017, and Aug 25, 2018, we screened 51 patients for eligibility, of whom 46 patients were enrolled from 25 different sites and received neoadjuvant treatment.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Screening details: Patients eligible for the trial are those with a histological diagnosis or cytologically proven operable and resectable non-small-cell lung cancer, stage IIIA.

    Arm description
    Patients received the following drugs intravenously, as neoadjuvant treatment: nivolumab (360 mg), paclitaxel (200 mg/m²), and carboplatin (area under the curve 6; 6 mg/mL per min), on day 1 of each 21-day cycle, for three cycles before surgical resection. After completion of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy, surgery was planned 42–49 days after the first day of the third treatment cycle. Resection of the primary tumour and lymph nodes was done according to standard institutional procedures. Once the patients were deemed fully recovered from surgery, adjuvant treatment with nivolumab was scheduled to commence 3–8 weeks after surgery. Patients received intravenous nivolumab as adjuvant treatment at a fixed dose of 240 mg every 2 weeks for 4 months, followed by a fixed dose of 480 mg every 4 weeks, until month 12.

    End point title
    Progression Free Survival at 24 months [1]
    End point description
    Rate of PFS at 24 months from diagnosis defined as the rate of patients free of disease progression or death from any cause whichever occurs first as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1. criteria for systemic disease.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    At 24 months from diagnosis
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: Progression-free survival, compared with that reported for these patients in previous studies (ranging from 40% in patients receiving standard therapy, considered here as the null hypothesis, to 55% in patients receiving the analysed treatment),15–17 with a one-sided type I error of 5%. We used the Kaplan-Meier method to estimate progression-free survival and overall survival and corresponding 95% CIs.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    22 Jun 2017
    New protocol version: Modify the version of TNM required for staging patients from TNM 7th edition to TNM 8th editing and clarify schedule of study procedures
    09 May 2018
    New version of protocol: Add the option to replace invalid patients to complete the patient sample initially calculated in order to meet the initially set statistical objectives and clarify an inclusion criterion in relation to the version of the TNM accepted by protocol
    15 Jan 2019
    Change of Sponsor of study
    20 Jun 2019
    Changes in the protocol: The information contained in the protocol is reviewed regarding the pharmacogenetic analyzes to be performed on the samples extracted from the patients included in the study. A more detailed description of said analyzes and the objectives that are intended to be met with said analyzes is made.
    16 Nov 2020
    Changes in the protocol: The information contained in the protocol is reviewed regarding the analyzes to be performed on the computed tomography (CT) scans of the patients included in the study. A new analysis is added that can contribute to better understanding the clinical evolution of patients with lung cancer by obtaining predictions of the results of possible treatments.
    22 Sep 2022
    Changes in the protocol: The follow-up period of the NADIM study was planned to last 3 years and will be extended to 5 years. The analysis of these 2 additional years may contribute to better understanding the clinical evolution of patients with lung cancer.
