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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Merck will conduct Future Biomedical Research on DNA (blood and serum/plasma) specimens collected during this clinical trial. Such research is for biomarker testing to address emergent questions not described elsewhere in the protocol (as part of the main trial) and will only be conducted on specimens from appropriately consented subjects. The objective of collecting specimens for Future Biomedical Research is to explore and identify biomarkers that inform the scientific understanding of diseases and/or their therapeutic treatments. The overarching goal is to use such information to develop safer, more effective drugs, and/or to ensure that subjects receive the correct dose of the correct drug at the correct time.
    Merck realizará investigaciones biomédicas futuras con las muestras (ADN), (sangre, suero, plasma) obtenidas durante este ensayo clínico. Estas investigaciones tendrán por objeto el análisis de biomarcadores con el fin de abordar aspectos nuevos que no se describen en otras partes del protocolo (como parte del ensayo principal) y solo se llevarán a cabo en muestras de los participantes que hayan otorgado el consentimiento correspondiente. El objetivo de la obtención y conservación de muestras para investigaciones biomédicas futuras consiste en estudiar e identificar biomarcadores que proporcionen información a los científicos sobre las enfermedades y/o sus tratamientos. El objetivo último es utilizar tal información para desarrollar vacunas y fármacos más seguros y eficaces y/o para garantizar que los participantes reciban la dosis correcta del fármaco o la vacuna adecuados en el momento preciso.
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Male/female participants who are at least 18 years of age on the day of signing informed consent with previously untreated, histologically confirmed NSCLC and histologically confirmed Stage IIB or IIIA NSCLC. (AJCC Version 8). Lymph node disease requires histologic confirmation, while T3 (rib destruction) disease requires only radiographic documentation.
    2. Be able to undergo protocol therapy, including necessary surgery.
    3. A male participant must agree to use contraception, as detailed in protocol Appendix 3: Contraceptive Guidance and Pregnancy Testing) for at least 180 days, (corresponding to time needed to eliminate any study treatment(s) [pembrolizumab and or any active combination] plus an additional 90 days [a spermatogenesis cycle] for study treatments where there is risk of clinically relevant genotoxicity) after the last dose of study treatment and refrain from donating sperm during this period.
    4. Abstinence is acceptable if this is the usual lifestyle and preferred contraception for the participant.
    5. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant (see protocol Appendix 3: Contraceptive Guidance and Pregnancy Testing), not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
    a.) Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) as defined in protocol Appendix 3: Contraceptive Guidance and Pregnancy Testing
    OR
    b.) A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance in protocol Appendix 3: Contraceptive Guidance and Pregnancy Testing during the treatment period and for at least 180 days (corresponding to time needed to eliminate any study treatment(s) [pembrolizumab and or any active combination] plus 30 days [a menstruation cycle] for study treatments with risk of genotoxicity) after the last dose of study treatment.
    6. The participant (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides written informed consent/assent for the trial.
    7. Have available formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue sample blocks for submission. If blocks are not available, have unstained slides for submission for central PD-L1 testing. See Procedures Manual for further details.
    8. Have an ECOG performance status of 0 to 1 within 10 days of randomization.
    9. Have adequate organ function as defined in the protocol. Specimens must be collected within 10 days prior to the start of trial treatment.
    1. Participante de uno u otro sexo, con una edad mínima de 18 años el día de firma del consentimiento informado, con CPNM en estadio IIB o IIIA confirmado histológicamente, sin tratamiento previo. (Versión 8 del AJCC). La afectación ganglionar requiere confirmación histológica, mientras que la enfermedad T3 (destrucción costal) solo requiere documentación radiológica.
