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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study is to determine whether the addition of eryaspase to chemotherapy improves overall survival (OS) in second-line treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma compared to chemotherapy alone.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial. An independent data monitoring committed reviewed the interim results from the study as well as safety on a regular basis during the trial. The IDMC had the potential to stop the study in case of safety concerns or for lack of efficacy.
    Background therapy
    Patients could receive one of 2 chemotherapy regimen, Gemcitabine and Abraxane or Irinotecan-based therapy. The choice of the chemotherapy regimen was determined by the prior treatment patient received in the first-line setting. Thus: − If a patient received prior gemcitabine/Abraxane in the first-line setting, then on disease progression, the patient was assigned to FOLFIRI (or Onivyde/5-FU/LV) in the current study. − If a patient received prior irinotecan-based therapy (FOLinic acid-Fluorouracil-IRInotecan-Oxaliplatin; FOLFIRINOX), then on disease progression, the patient was assigned to gemcitabine/Abraxane in the current study. − If patient received neither, the chemotherapy was investigator chose one of the 2 regimen.
    Evidence for comparator
    In the second-line setting, there remains a lack of consensus regarding the standard of care. Treatment options are dependent on the risk-benefit balance for the patient and the treatment received in the first line. In 2017, treatment guidelines were updated to recommend that the combination of nanoliposomal irinotecan (Onivyde®) with fluoropyrimidine regimens (i.e., 5-FU with LV) can be considered an active and tolerable treatment option in fit patients (ECOG PS less than 2) previously treated with gemcitabine-based therapy. This combination extended survival by 1.9 months compared with patients treated with 5-FU in combination with LV. No formal recommendations are available for patients who have progressed on first-line FOLFIRINOX; although gemcitabine is widely used in this setting.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 512 patient were randomized 1:1 to receive eryaspase with chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone. Of these, 494 patients received treatment.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    684 patients were screened to enroll 512 patients who met the eligibility criteria. Key eligibility criteria included patients who were 18 years of age or older, had pancreatic adenocarcinoma, Stage III or IV disease, had failed 1 line of systemic therapy in advanced setting and had measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 and in good general health.

    Statistical analysis description
    ORR is defined as the proportion of patients who achieve objective tumor response (CR or PR) per modified RECIST 1.1. The 95% CI is calculated using the binomial exact (Clopper-Pearson) method and 2-sided p-value is from the stratified Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test. The stratification factors are ECOG, chemotherapy regimen, and time interval since initial diagnosis of advanced disease. The null hypothesis is rejected if the 2-sided p-value for this test and proceeding OS and PFS are <=0.046.
