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   43841   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7281   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 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To assess the objective response rate of pembrolizumab in metastatic MMR proficient, extended RAS mutated CRC patients who have failed standard therapies, with MGMT-negative tumors treated with TMZ, given with the intent of increasing the mutational load of their tumors (cohort P).
    Valutare il tasso di risposta effettiva (Objective Response Rate, ORR) di pembrolizumab nei pazienti con mCRC mutati in RAS, MMR-P, in cui le terapie standard hanno fallito, con MGMT-metilato e che sono stati trattati con TMZ con l’intenzione di aumentare il carico mutazionale del tumore (coorte P).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary Objectives:
    To assess the objective response rate in MMR deficient patients (cohort D)
    identified during the MMR screening.
    • To assess the Progression Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) both
    P and D cohorts patients.
    • To assess the safety and tolerability of pembrolizumab after TMZ-priming
    therapy (cohort P).
    • To assess the safety and tolerability of pembrolizumab (cohort D).
    Translational Objectives:
    • To validate the assessment of mutational load in plasma using the tissue
    mutational load as ‘gold’ standard.
    • To assess the relationship between selected immune biomarkers in archival
    and/or fresh tumor tissue and blood with response to pembrolizumab.
    • To compare these immunomarkers profiles prior and after TMZ in cohort P
    patients, and prior and after pembrolizumab treatment in all patients (cohort D
    and P).
    • To assess the relationship of RAS status in MMR deficient patients (cohort D)
    with response to Pembrolizumab.
    Obiettivi secondari:
    • Valutare ORR nei pazienti MMR-D (coorte D) identificati durante loscreening per MMR.
    • Valutare la PFS e la OS in entrambe le coorti di pazienti (P and C).
    • Valutare la sicurezza e la tollerabilità di pembrolizumab dopo la terapia di induzione con TMZ (coorte P).
    • Valutare la sicurezza e la tollerabilità di pembrolizumab (coorte D).
    Obiettivi traslazionali:
    • Validare la misura del carico mutazionale nel plasma utilizzando quello misurato nel tessuto come “gold standard”.
    • Valutare la correlazione tra l’espressione di marcatori biologici immunitari misurati su tessuto (fresco o da archivio) e nel sangue con la risposta al
    pembrolizumab.
    • Confrontare l’espressione di questi immunomarcatori prima e dopo terapia con TMZ nei pazienti appartenenti alla coorte P e prima e dopo trattamento con
    pembrolizumab in tutti i pazienti (coorti D e P).
    • Valutare la correlazione tra lo stato di RAS e la risposta al Pembrolizumab neipazienti MMR-D
