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   44394   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7406   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 ).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    This Phase (Ph) 1b/3, 2-part study was conducted at 8 sites in 3 countries in participants with advanced ES. The study consisted of 2 parts: Phase 1b (dose escalation [esc] and dose expansion [exp]) and Phase 3. A total of 25 participants were enrolled in Phase 1b (dose escalation) of the study.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Following consultation with Food and Drug Administration(FDA),study was terminated due to feasibility concerns related to inability to meet required enrollment targets. Decision was made after completion of Ph1b(dose esc) & prior to initiation of Ph1b (dose exp) & Ph3. At termination, no participants enrolled in Ph1b (dose exp) & Ph3 not initiated.

    Phase 3: Progression-Free Survival Assessed by Independent Review Committee [3]
    End point description
    PFS was planned to be assessed in Phase 3. PFS as assessed by IRC was defined as the time from the date of randomization into the study to the first observation of documented PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the smallest sum of diameters recorded since the study drug started (percent change from nadir, where nadir was defined as the smallest sum of diameters recorded since study drug started). In addition, the sum must have an absolute increase from nadir of 5 millimeter (mm). Due to early study termination, Phase 3 was never initiated.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    26 Aug 2019
    Added PK sampling windows and adjusted timing of samples which were to be collected on Day 1 of Cycles 3 and 5 (instead of Cycles 4 and 6) to coincide with 6-week tumor measurements. Moved baseline clinical laboratory tests from Day 1 to Day -1 (to occur before the first dose of tazemetostat) and corrected inconsistencies in clinical laboratory test days and test facility (local or central). Changed EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaire to Day 1 of all Cycles (instead of just Cycles 1, 2, 4, and 6) in the Phase 3 portion of the study, removed it from Day 8 of Cycles 1 and 2, and specified the domains that would be analyzed. Specified that unblinding would take place at the end of the study except in case of emergency or related adverse event of special interest (AESI) (as intended), rather than at PD. Modified first and second tazemetostat dose reduction levels for combination treatment related toxicities to be consistent with the 200 mg tablet strength. Specified doxorubicin dosing over 3 to 10 minutes or up to approximately 30 minutes to reflect both label instructions and standard of care. Required that any archival tumor tissue samples be obtained less than 1 year before enrolment. Revised categories for AE causality assessments. Corrected inconsistencies between different sections of the protocol, added clarity and enhanced readability.
    24 Jan 2020
    Updated inclusion criteria to include immunophenotypic panel (for example: cluster of differentiation (CD34), epithelial membrane antigen, Keratin, and integrase interactor 1) for epithelioid sarcoma as a diagnostic criterion. Updated exclusion criteria to remove human immunodeficiency virus and human T-cell lymphotropic virus 1. Updated Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria version. Updated prohibited medications to restrict dexrazoxane administration during Cycle 1. Provided clarity regarding doxorubicin administration for Cycles 1-6. Updated Phase 3 sample size determination. Updated decision rules for interim analysis.
    03 Jul 2020
    Responded to agency request dated 02 July 2020 regarding eligibility age in Phase 1b dose escalation, Phase 1b dose expansion, and Phase 3 portions of the study. Clarified and updated dose modifications for tazemetostat, “study drug” (blinded Phase 3), and study drug + doxorubicin, modifications for doxorubicin-related toxicity and modifications for combination treatment related toxicities. Updated contraception requirement. Updated restrictions during study treatment.
    10 Mar 2021
    Incorporated the RP3D. Included the rationale for RP3D. Updated inclusion and exclusion criteria. Updated dose modifications, interruptions, and discontinuations. Updated study schema and schedule of events for Phase 1b and Phase 3 study. Updated statistical analysis section.
    29 Mar 2022
    Corrected statements concerning the Sponsor’s response in the event of a new, adult case of related AESI of myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia or events like myeloproliferative neoplasm. Added that eligible participants enrolled in the open-label Phase 1b portion of the study might be transferred to long-term rollover study EZH-501 at the discretion of the Investigator and Medical Monitor. Modified the electrocardiogram frequency following combination therapy. Modified the duration of monotherapy treatment following combination therapy in the event of surgical resection. Clarified when complete peripheral blood smears were conducted during treatment. Updated language concerning AESIs and safety monitoring by the Sponsor. Made clarifications concerning toxicity management and prophylactic use of hematopoietic colony stimulating factors during the study.
    21 Mar 2023
    Supplemented the Phase 1b expansion cohort with approximately 7 additional participants diagnosed with advanced ES, and who would be treated with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (GCSF) prophylactically in Cycles 1-6. Required prophylactic treatment with GCSF in Cycles 1-6 for all Phase 3 participants. Updated contraception language and information regarding AEs under investigation or of special interest with tazemetostat to align with the current tazemetostat Investigator’s Brochure, version 12.0. Included a window of +/-7 days for the 12-week follow-up visits. Updated the list of responsible personnel and emergency contact information. Updated the supplier of doxorubicin to allow sourcing from commercial supply. Added a subsection to define prior and concomitant medications and adjusted the timing of collection to those administered within 30 days before the first study drug dose. Added specifications for data protection and remote source data verification. Added the Sponsor to the list of those at whose discretion participants might be transferred to long-term rollover study EZH-501.
