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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The aim of the study was to evaluate whether bintrafusp alfa in combination with the current standard of care (SoC) (gemcitabine plus cisplatin) improves overall survival (OS) in chemotherapy and immunotherapy-naïve subjects with locally advanced or metastatic Biliary Tract Cancer (BTC) compared to placebo, gemcitabine and cisplatin.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subject protection was ensured by following high medical and ethical standards in accordance with the principles laid down in the Declaration of Helsinki, and that are consistent with Good Clinical Practice and applicable regulations.

    Double-blind Part: Percentage of Subjects With Confirmed Objective Response According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) as Assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC) [7]
    End point description
    Percentage of subjects with confirmed objective response that is at least one overall assessment of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) reported here. CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. PR: At least 30% reduction from baseline in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of all lesions. Confirmed CR = at least 2 determinations of CR at least 4 weeks apart and before progression. Confirmed PR = at least 2 determinations of PR at least 4 weeks apart and before progression (and not qualifying for a CR). Confirmed objective response was determined according to RECIST v1.1 and as adjudicated by IRC. Intent-to-Treat analysis set included all randomized subjects. Here, "Number of Subjects Analyzed" signifies those subjects who were evaluable for this endpoint.

    11 Oct 2019
    • To describe a single primary endpoint (overall survival) in the randomized, double-blind part of the study rather than dual primary endpoints. • To remove the requirement for initial progressive disease as determined by the Investigator to be verified by an Independent Review Committee (IRC). • The analysis of progression-free survival (PFS) and other tumor-based efficacy endpoints was based on Investigator assessment; analysis based on IRC assessment was only performed if the study is not expanded to Phase III. • To acknowledge that, for the purposes of marketing authorization in Japan, if the study was not expanded into Phase III, it will not be acceptable as a confirmatory study. • To provide additional information on the power to detect differences in efficacy among the different biliary tract cancer anatomical subgroups. • To exclude subjects with history of bleeding diathesis and provide further guidance on dose modifications for bleeding events according to National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) severity grade and site of bleeding. • To include additional patient-reported outcome measures to enable subjects experience of the study intervention to be further characterized. • To allow chemotherapy to be given on Day 15 of a given cycle if administration on Day 1 or Day 8 was not possible.

    • An additional criterion has been added to the definition of the efficacy analysis set was used for the analysis for decision on the expansion to Phase III sample size. • Futility criterion was introduced for expansion decision and Overall Survival (OS) analysis. • A description was added to provide clarity on the type of study population to be analyzed for efficacy and safety analysis for expansion into Phase III. This clarification would also help IDMC’s assessment of efficacy and safety data and to provide their recommendation for expansion into the Phase III. • A note has been added to guide in checking enrollment of the study population. • Further information was added to explain the rationale for selecting antibiotics-naïve subjects for expansion decision. • Edits are done to highlight dose modification of the study intervention in a specific condition. • Inclusion criterion number 2 has been updated. • Exclusion criterion number 5 and 13 has been updated. • Details were added on study treatment administration. Edits were done in this section to indicate dose modification of M7824/placebo to 1200 mg was allowed in the study.
    14 Jul 2021
    • Text was revised to include a summary of the additional criterion for expansion into Phase III. • Exclusion criterion 10 was split into 2 separate bullets without change in content. • Text related to local requirements for dosing of gemcitabine and cisplatin was revised. Links to Sections 6.6.3 and 6.6.4 referring to dose modification instructions for gemcitabine and cisplatin were added.
