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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus epacadostat compared to pembrolizumab plus placebo as first-line treatment in participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) expressing high levels of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1).
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in conformance with applicable country or local requirements regarding ethical committee review, informed consent, and other statutes or regulations regarding the protection of the rights and welfare of human participants in biomedical research.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    03 Nov 2017
    To provide specific dose modification and toxicity management guidelines for myocarditis
    06 Mar 2018
    To align HIV and pregnancy testing with regulatory requirements at German sites.
    05 Apr 2018
    To align with regulatory requirements at French sites to exclude participants on coumarin based anticoagulants and prohibit coumarin based anticoagulant treatment for participants receiving epacadostat. In addition, to provide specific dose modification and toxicity management guidelines for myocarditis
    31 May 2018
    Updated Phase 3 design to Phase 2 design, title of protocol and secondary endpoints.
    04 Mar 2019
    Data from the final analysis of KEYNOTE-654/ECHO-305 (data cutoff: 10-JAN-2019) indicated that the study did not meet the pre-specified endpoint of improvement in objective response rate (ORR) for the combination of pembrolizumab plus epacadostat compared with pembrolizumab plus placebo. Based upon these data from the final analysis, the Sponsor and MSD implemented this Amendment 05 to direct that all epacadostat and placebo administration stop, and to reflect that the study is no longer blinded.
