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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The NEEDS trial has three co-primary objectives. First of all to demonstrate that dCRT with salvage esophagectomy as needed, is non-inferior to nCRT followed by surgery, regarding overall survival in patients with operable, locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. A second co-primary objective, to be tested only if overall survival non-inferiority has been shown, is to determine the impact on HRQOL of each intervention aiming to show superiority, with regard to Global HRQOL, for dCRT with surgery only when needed, one year after randomization. A third co-primary objective, to be tested for superiority only if overall survival is non-inferior and Global HRQOL is superior, is eating restrictions.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    • To study prespecified HRQOL endpoints relevant to esophageal cancer and effects of treatment for this disease, repeatedly during treatment and survivorship.
    • To determine event free survival, loco-regional and distal relapse rates and histological chemoradiotherapy response in the surgical specimen in the control arm.
    • To investigate the overall health economic impact of each intervention.
    • To investigate the impact on nutritional status of each intervention during follow-up.
    • To investigate if there are any gender differences in any of the endpoints.
    • To exploratively analyse putative tissue and liquid biomarkers for response to the different treatment strategies and long-term benefit.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Biology of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Protocol version 1.0, 15.01.2020.
    Objectives:
    1. To understand the molecular drivers associated with response and resistance to chemoradiotherapy in ESCC
    2. To explore the association between the immune microenvironment and benefit from chemoradiotherapy in ESCC
    3. To understand whether ctDNA can be used as an early predictor of relapse in ESCC patients treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy and surgery
    4. To explore whether ctDNA can be used instead of tissue biopsy to identify molecular drivers in ESCC.

    Substudy 2: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for non-invasive surveillance. Protocol version 1.0, 15.01.2020.
    Objectives:
    1. To evaluate if local or distant recurrence after definitive chemoradiotherapy can be non-invasively identified using analysis of urinary VOCs.
    2. To evaluate if local or distant recurrence after surgical resection can be non-invasively identified using analysis of urinary VOCs.
    3. To study if a unique urinary VOC pattern immediately after treatment is able to identify patients at high risk of recurrent disease after definite chemoradiotherapy or surgery.
    4. To establish if a unique urinary VOC profile exists with the diagnosis of ESCC.
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    • Histopathologically confirmed SCC of the esophagus in locally advanced stages cT1 N+ or cT2-4a any N, M0
    • Technically resectable disease according to the local multidisciplinary team conference (MDT)/tumor board
    • Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 80 years.
    • Performance status ECOG 0-1.
    • Adequate organ function
    • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test
    • Patients of childbearing/reproductive potential should use highly effective method of birth control measures during the study treatment period
    • Female subjects who are breast feeding should discontinue nursing prior to the first dose of study treatment
    • Written informed consent
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    • Distant metastases
    • cT4b
    • Primary tumor not resectable without laryngectomy.
    • Impaired renal, hepatic, cardiac, pulmonary or endocrine status
    • Subjects not considered likely to tolerate multimodality treatment with chemoradiotherapy followed by esophagectomy.
    • Subjects with previous malignancies
    • Prior or concomitant treatment with radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy with potential overlap of radiotherapy fields.
    • Known uncontrollable hypersensitivity to the components of the chemotherapeutic agents used in the trial regimens.
    • Inability to fully understand and digest study patient information or to comply with study instructions due to language difficulty or cognitive failure such as dementia or severe psychiatric disorder.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    • The first co-primary endpoint of the NEEDS trial is overall survival (OS) with a minimum follow-up of 3 years, with a non-inferiority hypothesis for the experimental intervention dCRT with surveillance and salvage surgery only as needed, compared to the the control intervention nCRT with planned surgery.
    • A second co-primary endpoint is Global HRQOL one year after randomisation, using the EORTC QLQ-C30 instrument, which will be tested for superiority for the experimental intervention only if non-inferiority for OS has been shown.
    • If OS has been shown to be non-inferior and Global HRQOL superior the HRQOL domain of eating restrictions in the EORTC QLQ-OG25 instrument, will also be tested for superiority at one year after randomization.
    The primary objective of treatment for localised esophageal cancer is cure and there are no known surrogate endpoints that can replace OS in a pragmatic trial aiming to establish best practice. However, patient reported HRQOL during survivorship is so important that the above mentioned HRQOL endpoints qualify to be a co-primary endpoints.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54 and 60 months after surgery
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    • HRQOL will be assessed at baseline, meaning after inclusion and signing of the patient consent form but before start of treatment and thereafter 6, 12, 24, 36 and 60 months after randomisation. Specific, predefined quality of life endpoints of particular interest, beside the co-primary endpoints mentioned above, will be Global HRQOL, QLQ- C30 summary score, physical function, dyspnea, diarrhea, dysphagia and anxiety at all time-points mentioned above.
    • Event free survival (EFS), defined as time to relapse, initiation of any anti-tumor therapy beyond the study treatments, or death, whichever comes first
    • Loco-regional and distant relapse rates, including the relation of relapse location to the radiation field (in-field or out-field).
    • Histopathological response
    • Health economy will be assessed including patient-level medical resource use and societal costs due to sick-leave and other non-medical costs
    • Surgical complications
    • Treatment-related adverse events and toxicity
    • Nutritional outcomes
    • Gender stratified analyses of all endpoints
    • Exploratory analyses for putative tissue and liquid biomarkers for response
