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   44364   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7388   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 purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) combined with lenvatinib (MK-7902/E7080) compared to pembrolizumab alone (with placebo for lenvatinib) as first-line treatment in adults with no prior systemic therapy for their advanced melanoma. The primary study hypotheses are that: 1) The combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib is superior to pembrolizumab and placebo as assessed by Progression-free Survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1), and 2) The combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib is superior to pembrolizumab and placebo as assessed by Overall Survival (OS). For this study, RECIST 1.1 has been modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practice standards and applicable country and/or local statutes and regulations regarding ethical committee review, informed consent, and the protection of human subjects participating in biomedical research.

    Progression-free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) per Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)
    End point description
    PFS is defined as the time from date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. Note: The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. For this study, RECIST 1.1 has been modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ. The analysis population consisted of all randomized participants, included in the treatment group to which they were randomized. The final analysis for this end point is presented here.

GHS/QoL responses range in score from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better outcome. The analysis population consisted of all randomized participants who had at least 1 assessment available for the EORTC QLQ-C30 GHS/QoL score and had received at least 1 dose of study intervention.

    Change from Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer [EORTC] Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 [QLQ-C30] Physical Function (PF) Score
    End point description
    The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess the overall quality of life of cancer patients. The PF Score consists of participant responses to questions regarding PF (5 questions about daily activities [strenuous activities, long walks, short walks, bed/chair rest and needing help with eating, dressing, washing themselves or using the toilet]). For PF, responses range in score from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better outcome. The analysis population consisted of all randomized participants who had at least 1 assessment available for the EORTC QLQ-C30 PF score and had received at least 1 dose of study intervention. The final analysis for this end point is presented here.

    Time to True Deterioration (TTD) Based on Change from Baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 GHS/QoL score
    End point description
    TTD is defined as the time from Baseline to 1st onset of a ≥10-point negative change (decrease) in EORTC-QLQ-C30 GHS Score. The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess the overall quality of life of cancer patients. The GHS/QoL Score consists of participant responses to the questions "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" and "How would you rate your overall quality of life during the past week?" GHS/QoL responses range in score from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better outcome. A longer TTD indicates a better outcome. The analysis population consisted of all randomized participants who have at least one assessment available for EORTC QLQ-C30 and have received at least one dose of the study intervention; and had data available for this TTD change from baseline in GHS/QoL outcome using EORTC QLQ-C30.
