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   43881   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7295   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 assess the ability of Zoreline 10.8 mg subcutaneous implant to induce testosterone serum suppression (≤50 ng/dL) in male subjects with prostate cancer by Day 29 of Cycle 1 at the latest and have this confirmed at Day 85 of Cycle 1 and Day 85 of Cycle 2 (End of Treatment)
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subjects had to abstain from the use of all concomitant medications as described in the exclusion criteria: GnRH agonist or antagonist therapy, and any treatment that interferes with testosterone serum level. Previous and concomitant treatment with GnRH analogs was not allowed. However, subjects who previously underwent an intermittent treatment scheme could be included if no more than two treatment cycles were received and if the last treatment injection was not within 6 months of the screening visit (as per eligibility criteria). A treatment cycle was defined as the continuous and repeated administration of a GnRH analog (according to the prescribing information) until discontinuation of treatment based on the subject’s physical and / or disease status as judged by the Investigator. Non-steroidal anti-androgens (such as bicalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide, enzalutamide) were allowed to prevent disease flare-ups only, caused by testosterone surges. Treatment with non-steroidal anti-androgens was at the discretion of the Investigator. Further occurrence of disease flare-ups caused by testosterone surges had to be treated symptomatically as determined by the Investigator. The following rules had to be taken into account when prescribing other treatments during the subject’s participation in the trial: •Ancillary treatments were allowed to be given as medically indicated; they should have been recorded in the subjects’ medical chart and on the appropriate electronic Case Report Form (eCRF); •Radiotherapy was allowed to be given concomitantly for control of bone pain or other reasons; •Subjects were not allowed to receive other anticancer treatments or other investigational agents from start of trial treatment until the End of Treatment visit; •In case of doubt, concomitant medication could be discussed with the Medical Monitor. The use of local anesthetic was allowed if this was part of local practice

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    In 14 trial sites in Germany, Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine, the trial subjects were recruited. In total 142 subjects meeting all eligibility criteria were enrolled. The first patient was included on 14Jun2019. Last study visit before database lock was 06Apr2020.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Male subjects (>18 years old) with prostate cancer. 169 subjects were screened and signed the ICF with 142 meeting all eligibility criteria and starting treatment with Zoreline. A total of 24 subjects were part of the pharmacokinetic sub-study. Each enrolled subject received the 10.8 mg goserelin (Zoreline) SC implant

    Arm description
    142 subjects started the treatment with Zoreline. The subjects had to come to the clinic center on Days 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 29, 30, 36, 57, 84, and on Day 85 of Cycle 1 (=pre-dose on Day 1 of Cycle 2) and on Days 2, 4, 8, 15, 29, 36, 57, 84, and on Day 85 of Cycle 2 (which is the End of Treatment day). A total of 24 subjects were part of the pharmacokinetic (PK) substudy. This group had additional blood samples taken to assess the PK profile of the trial medication in addition to their blood collected for pharmacodynamic and safety assessments. Subjects in the PK substudy had seven additional visits on Days 22, 43, 45, 50, 64, 71 and 78 of Cycle 1. After all the PK substudy was not performed: the study was terminated early because of efficacy risks and the PK parameters were not evaluated because no PK analysis was performed on the respective samples. Each treatment cycle had a duration of 84 days. The total treatment duration of this trial was 168 days, two cycles.

    Reporting group description
    Overall, 169 subjects were screened and signed the ICF to participate in the trial (defined in this trial as the ENR population). Of these, 142 subjects were confirmed eligible on Cycle 1 Day 1, were enrolled in the trial and received at least one dose of trial medication (SAF population). The remainder of 27 subjects did not meet all eligibility criteria and were considered screen failures. ITT population was identical to SAF population. The Per Protocol population consisted of 31 subjects of the ITT population who completed the study. The study was terminated early because of efficacy risks and the PK parameters planned to be assessed in samples taken from the PK subset were not evaluated because no PK analysis was performed on the respective samples.

    Responder subjects are subjects for which a response was defined as the subject having serum testosterone levels ≤50 ng/dL on at least one of the sampling time points on consecutive days.

    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: Testosterone levels were planned to be determined for each subject from D1 of Cycle 1 to D85 of Cycle 2 (End of Treatment). Due to early termination of the trial, testosterone levels were evaluated for 42 subjects up to D85 of Cycle 1. The response rates are listed per time-point together with a 95% 2-sided CI (exact method).
