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.

    To investigate whether adjuvant atezolizumab treatment after standard, concurrent chemo-radiotherapy improves survival in limited disease small-cell lung cancer patients - as compared to chemo-radiotherapy alone.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To investigate whether immunotherapy improves efficacy with respect to best response rates, progression free survival and symptom relief. To compare the frequency and severity of side effects, and patient-reported quality of life. To characterize the patients who benefit the most from the treatment with respect to clinical characteristics, tissue, blood and urine biomarkers.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    The exploratory analyses will be conducted as a substudy. Due to the rapid development of knowledge and technology within this field, we will outline a detailed project plan when the last patient has been enrolled. We expect to the complete this subproject within 5 years of enrollment of the last patient.
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed small-cell lung cancer
    2. No prior systemic therapy for SCLC or immune checkpoint blockade therapy
    3. Previous radiotherapy to the thorax is allowed as long as the patient can receive TRT of 45 Gy. If it later turns out that 45 Gy cannot be administered, the patient should be excluded.
    4. Stage I-III according to TNM v8 ineligible for surgery provided all lesions can be included in a tolerable radiotherapy field (“limited disease”)
    5. Age ≥ 18 years
    6. ECOG performance status 0-2

    9. No malignant cells in pericardial or pleural fluid (at least 1 sample should be obtained if pleural fluid is present) If there is so little fluid that it cannot easily be collected, the patient is considered eligible.
    10. Pulmonary function: FEV1 > 1 l or > 30 % of predicted value and DLCO > 30 % of predicted value
    11. All fertile patients should use safe contraception
    12. Written informed consent
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    11. Any serious concomitant systemic disorders (for example active infection, unstable cardiovascular disease) that in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the patient’s ability to complete the study or interfere with the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of the study treatment

    13. Any previous allogeneic or organ transplant
    14. Any active or history of autoimmune disease or immune deficiency, including, but not limited to, myasthenia gravis, myositis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, Wegener granulomatosis, Sjögren syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, or multiple sclerosis

    17. Any conditions – medical, social, psychological – which could prevent adequate information and follow-up
    18. Any clinically active cancer other than SCLC with the exception of malignancies with a negligible risk of metastases or death (e.g. 5-years OS rate of >90%), such as adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma, localized prostate cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ, or stage I uterine cancer. Hormonal therapy for non-metastatic prostate or breast cancer is allowed.
    19. Pregnancy or lactating women
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    2-year survival
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    - Best response rate
    - Progression free survival
    - Overall survival
    - Toxicity

    Exploratory analyses:
    - Prognostic and predictive role of clinical characteristics, tissue, blood and urine biomarkers in relation to the primary and secondary endpoints
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The best response rates, progression free survival, toxicity, and health related quality of life will be reported within two years after enrollment of the last patient. The final survival analyses will be completed 5 years after enrollment of the last patient. By that time, we expect that also the exploratory analyses will be completed.

    E.8.8 Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
    According to the trial design, the study treatment will continue for a maximum of 12 months after chemo-radiotherapy for patients randomized to the experimental arm. Data collection will be completed 5 years after enrollment of the last patient. Studies show that immunotherapy might provide long term survival in some patients. Thus, 5 year survival is an endpoint of great interest. The exploratory analyses will start after enrollment is completed and is expected to take several years.
