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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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
    To determine the efficacy (as measured by overall response rate) (ORR) by RECIST of disulfiram and cisplatin in patients with multiple relapsed/refractory germ cell tumors (GCTs).
    Protection of trial subjects
    All the procedures performed in study involving human participants were conducted in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki Declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. Informed consent was obtained from all individual paricipants included in the study.
    Background therapy
    Cisplatin will be administered intravenously 50mg/m2 day 1 and 2, every 3 weeks, Disulfiram 400mg daily p.o. continuously. Cycles will be repeated every 21 days until progression or unacceptable toxicity or up to 4 cycles of treatment. Treatment could be continued at the discretion of investigator in case that patient benefit from the treatment.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Enrollment period started on 14.5.2019 and ended on 3.11.2021. Fisrt patient was enrolled on 17.5.2019, last one on 17.9.2021. Total of 13 patients were screened into the study. One patient did not meet study eligibility criteria, was rescreened and finally 12 subjects were enrolled and receive study treatment.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Adult men with relapsed/refractory GCTs e.g., at least 2 lines of previous chemotherapy and/or patients relapsing after high-dose chemotherapy or for patients non fit enough for high-dose chemotherapy. Primary mediastinal GCTs in first relapse were eligible too. Patient’s disease could not be amenable to cure with either surgery or chemotherapy.

Patients will take disulfiram after their evening meal. Treatment will take until progression or unacceptable toxicit or could be continued at the discretion of investigator in case that patient benefit from the treatment. In case of intolerance doses will be reduced for hematological and other toxicity. Dose adjustments are to be made according to the system showing the greatest degree of toxicity. In case of intolerance, lower dose up to 200 mg per day is allowed. Patients will avoid alcohol and other disulfiram-drug interactions will be considered.
