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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    End point title
    Mean Scores for Function (Role/Physical) and GHS/HRQoL by Cycle and Between Treatment Arms as Assessed by the EORTC QLQ-C30
    End point description
    Mean score in function (role, physical) and global health status(GHS)/ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) by cycle and between treatment arms as assessed by the functional and HRQoL scales of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire Core30(QLQ C30). The score range for each scale and single-item measure is 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate a higher response level (i.e., better functioning, better QoL). Analysis population included all randomized participants with non-missing baseline assessment and at least one non-missing post-baseline assessment. Note: SDC=Study Drug Completion, ED=Early Discontinuation, SFU=Survival Follow-Up.

    Mean Change From Baseline Scores for Function (Role, Physical) and GHS/HRQoL by Cycle and Between Treatment Arms as Assessed by the EORTC QLQ-C30
    End point description
    Mean change from baseline score in function (role, physical) and global health status(GHS)/ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) by cycle and between treatment arms as assessed by the functional and HRQoL scales of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire Core30(QLQ C30). Analysis Population included all randomized participants with non-missing baseline assessment and at least one non-missing post-baseline assessment.

    Participants received atezolizumab (840 milligrams [mg]) via intravenous (IV) infusion every 2 weeks in combination with nab-paclitaxel (125 milligrams per square meter [mg/m^2]) via IV infusion every week for 12 weeks, followed by atezolizumab (840 mg) every 2 weeks in combination with doxorubicin (60 mg/m^2) and cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m^2) every 2 weeks via IV infusions with filgrastim/pegfilgrastim support for 4 doses. Participants continued to receive unblinded atezolizumab post-surgery at a fixed dose of 1200 mg by IV infusion every 3 weeks for 11 doses, for a total of approximately 12 months of atezolizumab therapy.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    04 May 2017
    Protocol was amended to add a cardiac safety cohort. A mandatory baseline pulmonary function evaluation conducted via spirometry has been added to the Schedule of Activities. It has been clarified that patients who do not initially meet all eligibility criteria, other than TNBC status, may be rescreened only once. Pregnancy reporting timeline requirement for nab-paclitaxel has been amended to be 1 month after last dose. Event-free survival (EFS) has been clarified, EFS is defined as "the time from randomization to the first documented occurrence of disease recurrence, disease progression, or death from any cause." Language has been updated to indicate that if nab-paclitaxel is discontinued due to any reason, patients can proceed to AC chemotherapy plus atezolizumab/placebo at the discretion of the investigator. If AC chemotherapy is discontinued, the date of surgery can be brought forward and patients can proceed to surgery at the discretion of the investigator.
    11 May 2018
    Protocol was amended to include addition of history of cerebrovascular accident within 12 months prior to randomization as an exclusion criteria. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is no longer an exception to the exclusion criterion of history of other malignancy within 5 years prior to screening as there was already a dedicated section to DCIS. History of a cerebrovascular accident within 12 months prior to randomization has been added as an exclusion criterion. It has been clarified that anticipation of need for a major surgical procedure as an exclusion criterion does not pertain to anticipated breast surgery. The risks associated with atezolizumab have been updated to include hypophysitis and myocarditis as adverse events. The safety profile of and risk management guidelines for nab-paclitaxel has been updated or clarified to include febrile neutropenia, infections, and depression.
    10 Oct 2018
    Protocol was amended to add an adaptive two stage design using accumulating data to inform the study. Study duration and recruitment period were updated to reflect potential change in study duration. The primary efficacy objective was modified to include the endpoint of pCR in the subpopulation with the PD-L1-positive tumor status (moved from the secondary efficacy objective). The secondary efficacy endpoints were modified to include disease-free survival. Lists of risks for atezolizumab and guidelines for managing participants who experience atezolizumab-associated adverse events have been revised to include nephritis.
    07 Jun 2019
    Protocol was amended to clarify the baseline staging and surgical management of clinically enlarged and/or suspicious internal mammary and infraclavicular and/or supraclavicular lymph nodes. Language has been modified to reflect the fact that systemic immune activation is a potential risk with atezolizumab, regardless of whether atezolizumab is given alone or in combination with other immunomodulating agents. The lists of risks associated with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide have been updated to align with the latest safety information available on their corresponding SmPCs.
    11 Feb 2020
    Protocol was amended to include changing "immune-related" to "immune-mediated" when describing events associated with atezolizumab. Systemic immune activation has been replaced by hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and macrophage activation syndrome in the list of potential risks for atezolizumab and the management guidelines for systemic immune activation have been replaced with management guidelines for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and macrophage activation syndrome. In addition, systemic immune activation has been removed from the list of adverse events of special interest. To align with the nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane®) prescribing information, the risk of tumor lysis syndrome has been included. The atezolizumab adverse event management guidelines have been revised to add laboratory and cardiac imaging abnormalities as signs or symptoms that are suggestive of myocarditis. The management guidelines for infusion-related reactions associated with atezolizumab have been updated to include guidelines for cytokine-release syndrome (CRS).
    08 Feb 2021
    Protocol was amended to include revision to the list of identified risks for atezolizumab to include severe cutaneous adverse reactions. Revision to Appendix 8 included caution should be used when considering atezolizumab in participants who have previously experienced a severe or life-threatening skin adverse reaction while receiving another immunostimulatory anti-cancer agent.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    This study was not designed nor formally powered to demonstrate statistically significant improvements in the secondary efficacy endpoints of EFS, DFS and OS. The analyses of these secondary endpoints are descriptive in nature.
