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   43870   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7289   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.

    b) ECOG performance status of 2
    c) Grade ≥2 hearing loss (measured by audiometry) or ≥25 dB at two contiguous frequencies
    d) Grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy
    * Criteria 4a and b are mutually exclusive: those patients with ECOG 2 won’t be allowed to have an impaired renal function. For rest of the criteria, several of them may coexist.
    5) The patient has at least one measurable tumour lesion (measurable disease, as defined by the RECIST criteria v1.1). If all sites of measurable disease have been irradiated, one site must have demonstrated growth after irradiation.
    6) Age ≥18 years.
    7) ECOG PS 0-2.
    8) Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
    9) Adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal function, defined by:
    a) Platelet count ≥100 x10^9/L.
    b) Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL (may have been transfused).
    c) Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5x10^9/L.
    d) Serum creatinine ≤1.5 times the upper limit of normality (ULN). If creatinine 1.0-1.5 xULN, creatinine clearance will be calculated according to Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology group (CKD-EPI) formula and patients with creatinine clearance <30 mL/min should be excluded.
    NOTE: The CKD-EPI formula for creatinine clearance is as follows:
    GFR = 141 x min(Scr/κ,1)^α x max(Scr/κ,1)^-1.209 x 0.993^Age x 1.018 [if female] x 1.159 [if black].
    Where Scr is serum creatinine (mg/dL), κ is 0.7 for females and 0.9 for males, α is –0.329 for females and –0.411 for males, min indicates the minimum of Scr/κ or 1, and max indicates the maximum of Scr/κ or 1. See protocol appendix VII for details.
    e) Alanine aminotransferase (ALT/SGPT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST/SGOT) and alkaline phosphatase (AP) ≤2.5 ×ULN (≤5 ×ULN in the presence of liver metastasis), and serum total bilirubin ≤1.5 ×ULN.
    10) Free T4 and TSH within normal range.
    11) Archival or newly-obtained representative formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor specimens in paraffin blocks must be available.
    12) Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days of study entry. Patients of childbearing potential who participate in this study must use effective contraceptive methods (e.g., abstinence, intrauterine device, oral or injectable contraceptives, a double barrier method or surgical sterility) to prevent pregnancy starting as soon as the informed consent form is signed and continuing for at least 13 weeks after the last dose of the study medication is administered.
    1) Paciente que ha dado su consentimiento informado por escrito, manifestando que comprende la finalidad del estudio y los procedimientos que este conlleva, y que acepta participar.
    2) Paciente con carcinoma urotelial no resecable (T4b, cualquier N; o cualquier T, N2-3) o metastásico (M1, estadio IV) de las vías urinarias, lo que comprende pelvis renales, uréteres, vejiga urinaria y uretra, confirmado histológicamente.
    3) Paciente que no ha recibido terapia sistémica previa por carcinoma urotelial localmente avanzado inoperable o metastásico. En caso de haber recibido previamente quimioterapia adyuvante o neoadyuvante o quimiorradioterapia por carcinoma urotelial, se requiere un periodo sin tratamiento >12 meses entre la última administración del tratamiento y la fecha de la recidiva para que se pueda considerar que el paciente no ha recibido tratamiento previo por enfermedad metastásica.
    4) Paciente no apto (no elegible) para quimioterapia con cisplatino, lo que se define por la presencia de cualquiera de los criterios siguientes:
    a) Insuficiencia renal (velocidad de filtración glomerular [glomerular filtration rate, GFR] <60 ml/min)
    b) Estado funcional del ECOG de 2
    c) Hipoacusia de grado ≥2 (determinada por audiometría) o ≥25 dB en dos frecuencias contiguas
    d) Neuropatía periférica de grado ≥2

    b) Hemoglobina ≥ 9 g/dl (podría haber recibido transfusiones).
    c) Cifra absoluta de neutrófilos (absolute neutrophil count, ANC) ≥1,5 × 10^9/l.
    d) Creatinina sérica ≤1,5 veces el límite superior de la normalidad (upper limit of normality, ULN). Si la creatinina se encuentra entre 1,0 y 1,5 veces dicho límite, se calculará el aclaramiento de creatinina con la fórmula del CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology group) y, en caso de aclaramiento de creatinina <30 ml/min, se excluirá al paciente del estudio.
    NOTA: La fórmula del CKD-EPI para determinación del aclaramiento de creatinina es:
    Velocidad de filtración glomerular (GFR) = 141 × min(Scr/κ,1)^α × max(Scr/κ,1)^-1,209 × 0,993^Edad × 1,018 [si es mujer] × 1,159 [si es de raza negra].
    Donde, Scr es la creatinina sérica (mg/dl), κ es 0,7 en las mujeres y 0,9 en los varones, α es 0,329 en las mujeres y 0,411 en los varones, min denota el mínimo de Scr/κ o 1, y max denota el máximo de Scr/κ o 1. Véanse los detalles en el Apéndice VII del protocolo.
    e) Alanina-aminotransferasa (ALT/SGPT), aspartato-aminotransferasa (AST/SGOT) y fosfatasa alcalina (alkaline phosphatase, AP) ≤2,5 × ULN (≤5 × ULN en caso de metástasis hepáticas), y bilirrubina total sérica ≤1,5 × ULN.

    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    - PFS defined as the time from randomisation to either documented disease progression or death from any cause (whichever occurs earlier).
    - OS.
    - DoR.
    - Adverse events (AEs) will be coded and evaluated using the National Cancer Institute, Common Toxicity criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v4.03 toxicity criteria (if NCI-CTCAE are not applicable, the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities [MedDRA] will be used).
    Exploratory endpoints:
    - To describe the immunologic features that may predict response or resistance to treatment.
    - To analyze PD-L1 expression in tumor infiltrating immune cells and in tumor cells (pre and post-treatment samples will be analyzed).
    - Supervivencia libre de progresión, que se define como el tiempo transcurrido desde la aleatorización hasta que se documente la progresión de la enfermedad o la muerte por cualquier causa (lo que suceda antes).
    - Supervivencia global.
    - Duración de la respuesta.
    - Acontecimientos adversos (adverse events, AE), que se codificarán y evaluarán con arreglo a los criterios de toxicidad (Common Toxicity criteria for Adverse Events) del National Cancer Institute de Estados Unidos (NCI-CTCAE) v4.03 (cuando los NCI-CTCAE no sean aplicables, se empleará el Diccionario médico para actividades reglamentarias [Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities, MedDRA]).
    Criterios de valoración exploratorios:
    - Describir las características inmunológicas que puedan predecir la respuesta o la resistencia al tratamiento.
    - Analizar la expresión de PD-L1 en las células inmunitarias que infiltran el tumor y en las células tumorales (se analizaran muestras obtenidas antes y después del tratamiento).
