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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    Clinical Trial Results:
    A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III study evaluating the efficacy and safety of canakinumab in combination with docetaxel versus placebo in combination with docetaxel in subjects with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) previously treated with PD-(L)1 inhibitors and platinum-based chemotherapy (CANOPY-2)

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of canakinumab in combination with docetaxel versus placebo in combination with docetaxel, as second or third-line treatment.
    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.

CR: Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.

The PFS distribution was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and associated 95% confidence intervals were calculated for each treatment group.

    End point description
    TTR is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documented response of either CR or PR, by investigator's assessment according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. The TTR distribution was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and associated 95% confidence intervals were calculated for each treatment group. Subjects without a confirmed CR or PR at the time of the analysis cut-off date were censored at the study-maximum follow-up time for subjects with a PFS event (i.e., disease progression or death due to any cause), or at the date of the last adequate tumor assessment for subjects without a PFS event. CR: Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.

    Randomized part: Time to definitive 10-point deterioration (TTD) symptom scores of chest pain, cough and dyspnea per European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ) Lung Cancer (LC13) questionnaire [7]
    End point description
    The EORTC QLQ-LC13 comprises both multi-item and single-item measures of lung cancer-associated symptoms (ie, coughing, dyspnea, and chest pain) and treatment-related symptoms from conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy (ie. hair loss, neuropathy, sore mouth, and dysphagia). Scores for each scale and single-item range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher level of symptoms. TTD for chest pain, cough and dyspnea is defined as the time from randomization to the date of event, which is defined as at least 10 points absolute worsening from baseline of the corresponding scale score, with no later change below this threshold ie.<10 points was observed or if this worsening was observed at the last assessment for the subject, or death due to any cause (whichever occurs earlier). If a subject did not have an event, TTD was censored at the last adequate assessment.

    Randomized part: Time to definitive 10-point deterioration in global health status (GHS)/quality of life (QoL), shortness of breath and pain per EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire [8]
    End point description
    The EORTC QLQ-C30 includes 5 functional scales (physical,role,cognitive,emotional and social), 3 symptom scales (fatigue,pain and nausea/vomiting), a GHS/QoL scale, and 6 single items (constipation,diarrhea,insomnia,shortness of breath,appetite loss and financial difficulties). For each scale and single-item, scores range between 0 and 100. A high score for functional scales/ GHS/QoL represents better functioning or QoL, a high score for symptom scales/single items represents significant symptomatology. TTD in GHS/QoL, shortness of breath and pain is defined as the time from randomization to the date of event, defined as at least 10 points absolute worsening from baseline of the corresponding scale score, with no later change below this threshold i.e.<10 points was observed or if this worsening was observed at the last assessment for the subject, or death due to any cause (whichever occurs earlier).

Changes from baseline in QoL, shortness of breath and pain scores are presented. For QoL, a negative change from baseline indicates improvement; for shortness of breath and pain a positive change from baseline indicates improvement. For subjects who discontinued treatment without disease progression, post-treatment efficacy visits 1, 2, 3 and 5 were conducted every 6 weeks (for the first 12 months since start of treatment) and every 12 weeks (after 12 months since start of treatment) until disease progression

    Randomized part: Change from baseline in chest pain, cough and dyspnea scores as per the EORTC-QLQ LC13 questionnaire [10]
    End point description
    The EORTC QLQ-LC13 is a 13-item questionnaire. It comprises both multi-item and single-item measures of lung cancer-associated symptoms (ie, coughing, dyspnea, and chest pain) and treatment-related symptoms from conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy (ie, hair loss, neuropathy, sore mouth, and dysphagia). Scores for each scale and single-item range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher ("worse") level of symptoms. Changes from baseline in chest pain, cough and dyspnea scores are presented. A positive change from baseline indicates improvement. For subjects who discontinued treatment without disease progression, post-treatment efficacy visits 1, 2, 3 and 5 were conducted every 6 weeks (for the first 12 months since start of treatment) and every 12 weeks (after 12 months since start of treatment) until disease progression

    End point timeframe

    Randomized part: Change from baseline in European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) Health State Scores [11]
    End point description
    The EQ-5D-5L descriptive system provides a profile of the participant's health state in 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). For each of these dimensions, the participant self-assigned a score: from 1 (no problems) to 5 (extreme problems). The 5 digit health states obtained for each dimension was converted into a single mean index value based on the EQ-5D crosswalk value set for the UK using the time trade-off method. This index ranges from -0.594 (worst health) to 1.0 (best health). A positive change from baseline indicates improvement. For subjects who discontinued treatment without disease progression, post-treatment efficacy visits 1, 2, 3 and 5 were conducted every 6 weeks (for the first 12 months since start of treatment) and every 12 weeks (after 12 months since start of treatment) until disease progression
    End point type

    End point timeframe

    16 Jan 2019
    The primary purpose of this amendment was to revise some eligibility criteria either for clarification purpose or in order to allow more flexibility for the enrollment/randomization.

    10 Jun 2020
