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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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
    This phase I/II study consists of 2 subsequent study parts. In the phase I part we will investigate the safety of combining IMM-101 administration with SBRT in 20 patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer who have completed at least 4 cycles of FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy. If deemed safe and feasible (defined as max 6 out of 20 patients experiencing a grade 4/5 toxicity related to the IMM-101 intervention) we will continue inclusion in phase II with an additional 18 patients in order to be able to study efficacy of combining IMM-101 treatment with SBRT based on a 20% improvement of 1-year disease free survival.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The sponsor and the trial management team will guide conduct of the trial according to Good Clinical Practice (GCP). The Principal Investigator will be responsible for the conduct within his site. Data will be handled confidentially. Each patient will receive an anonymous identification code. To trace data back to an individual patient, a subject identification code list will be used. The PI will safeguard the key to this code for patients included at the site. The handling of personal data will comply with the Dutch Personal Data Protection Act (in Dutch: Algemene verordening gegevensbescherming (AVG)). Data will be kept as long as 15 years, according to the guidelines for Clinical Trials.

    Adverse events [1]
    End point description
    All grade 4 or 5 adverse events that were possibly, probably or likely related to the study treatment were regarded as events for the endpoint. Adverse events were scored according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. The relationship between the treatment and the adverse events were judged by the study team. The manuscript can be found online which describes this in detail.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: The previously observed grade 4 toxicity rate related to SBRT in the setting of LAPC was 10%. With a sample size of 20 patients (phase I) we were able to estimate a toxicity rate of 10% within a 95% confidence interval of [1.2%, 31.7%] using binomial exact method. This meant that at most 6/20 patients were allowed to have a grade 4 toxicity in the phase I trial before moving to the phase II.

    Notes
    [2] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: With previous data using SBRT, the one-year PFS rate was 45%. We hypothesized that by adding IMM-101 to SBRT, this could be improved to 65%. If the one-year PFS rate was < 65%, we would not proceed with a phase-III trial. To test this hypothesis we needed 38 patients (calculated with Fleming's test). Eventually, the one-year PFS rate was calculated in the cohort to analyze the primary end point.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    22 May 2020
    The possibility of offering maintenance vaccinations was added to the protocol: If the standard of care CT scan at week 14 shows no signs of progression and the patient did not experience a SAE related to the 6 IMM101 vaccinations the patient is eligible for IMM-101 maintenance therapy for at most 12 months. The maintenance therapy will consist of a 0.05 ml dosage of IMM-101 with a 4 week interval until patients show clinical progression or withdraw from the study
    21 Jul 2020
    The protocol was ammended in order to make it possible to proceed to including more than 20 patients earlier.: Safety will be assessed when the first 20 patients have received at least 3 vaccinations (i.e. 2 weeks prior to SBRT, day 1 of SBRT and 2 weeks after SBRT). Before, the 20 patients needed to receive all the vaccinations (6 vaccinations) before we would be able to include more than 20 patients.
    27 Nov 2020
    Patients who dropped out before starting study treatment could be replaced: Patients who drop out of the study before receiving SBRT will be replaced by a new patient. The one-year PFS of 45% in the historical LAPC-1 cohort was calculated using data from only those patients who had received SBRT. To be able to perform the most accurate analysis for the PFS endpoint we can only analyze those patients who actually received SBRT. We made an amendment to make in possible to analyze samples outside the EU: Translational analysis can be performed at third parties within and outside of the European Union. In this case the Sponsor will draw up an agreement with these Parties ensuring that data and/or samples are handled according to EU legislation. Only pseudonimized data and/or samples will be shared. Data will be transferred using a secured connection.
