General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
Phase 1: To assess the safety of the combination of radium-223 dichloride and pembrolizumab and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). Phase 2: To assess the efficacy of the combination of radium-223 dichloride and pembrolizumab (for Cohort 1: compared to pembrolizumab alone)
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
The conduct of this clinical study met all local legal and regulatory requirements. The study was conducted in accordance with ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Council for Harmonization guideline E6: Good Clinical Practice. Before entering the study, the informed consent was read by and explained to all the subjects. Participating subjects signed informed consent form and could withdraw from the study at any time without any disadvantage and without having to provide a reason for this decision. Only investigators qualified by training and experience were selected as appropriate experts to investigate the study drug.

18 Sep 2020 |
Protocol amendment 2 was mainly prepared to address the following points: clarification on eligibility criteria, concomitant therapy and dose modification rules, tumor assessment per iRECIST 1.1 moved from secondary to exploratory endpoints, clarification on statistical assumptions and planned analyses, provision of additional guidance to the participating sites, and additional background information on study rationale. |

Limitations and caveats |
|||
Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data. | |||
The study was terminated early during the Phase 1 part of the study. Due to the early termination, tumor responses were only listed, none of the efficacy outcome measures were actually analyzed. |
