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.

    2. To determine the safety and tolerability and to establish a preliminary recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of V937 administered in visceral tumors in combination with pembrolizumab.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    1. To determine the safety and tolerability of V937 administered in subcutaneous tumors in combination with pembrolizumab.
    2. To evaluate progression free survival (PFS), and duration of response (DOR) of participants treated with V937 in subcutaneous tumors in combination with pembrolizumab per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the investigator.
    3. To evaluate the ORR, PFS and DOR of V937 administered in subcutaneous tumors in combination with pembrolizumab per RECIST 1.1 for immune-based therapeutics (iRECIST) criteria as assessed by the investigator.
    4. To evaluate overall survival (OS) of participants treated with V937 in subcutaneous tumors in combination with pembrolizumab.
    5. To evaluate the ORR of V937 administered in visceral tumors at the preliminary RP2D with pembrolizumab per RECIST 1.1 and iRECIST criteria as assessed by the investigator.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Has locally-advanced disease that is not amenable to surgery or radiation, or Stage IV advanced/metastatic solid tumor malignancies
    2. Has histologically- or cytologically-confirmed diagnosis of an advanced/metastatic solid tumor
    3. Has measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 criteria as assessed by investigator. Target lesions in a previously irradiated area will be considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions
    4. Has submitted a baseline tumor sample for analysis (either de novo biopsy or an archival tumor block)
    5. Has a performance status of 0 or 1 on the ECOG Performance Scale obtained within 72 hours prior to the first dose of study intervention
    6. If participants have known HIV-positive disease, participants must have well-controlled HIV on ART defined as:
    a. CD4+ T-cell count >350 cells/mm3 at the time of screening
    b. Must have achieved and maintained virologic suppression, defined as HIV RNA levels below 50, or LLOQ (below limits of detection), using a locally available assay at the time of screening
    c. Must be on a stable regimen without any changes in drugs or dose modifications for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to study entry (Day 1)
    7. Demonstrate adequate organ function
    8. Is male or female, from ≥18 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent
    9. Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the intervention period for and for at least 120 days after the last dose of study intervention:
    PLUS either:
    - Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent
    OR
    - Must agree to use contraception unless confirmed to be azoospermic (vasectomized or secondary to medical cause) as detailed below:
    Agree to use a male condom plus partner use of an additional contraceptive method when having penile-vaginal intercourse with a WOCBP who is not currently pregnant
    10. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
    - Is not a WOCBP
    OR
    - Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of <1% per year), or be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis), during the intervention period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of study intervention. The investigator should evaluate the potential for contraceptive method failure (ie, noncompliance, recently initiated) in relationship to the first dose of study intervention
    - A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test ([urine or serum] as required by local regulations) within 72 hours before the first dose of study intervention
    - If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (eg, an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive
    -The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an early undetected pregnancy
    - Contraceptive use by women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
    11. The participant (or legally acceptable representative) provides written informed consent for the study. The participant may also provide consent for future biomedical research. However, the participant may participate in the main study without participating in future biomedical research
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Has had chemotherapy, definitive radiation, or biological cancer therapy within 4 weeks (2 weeks for palliative radiation) prior to first dose of study intervention, or has not recovered to CTCAE Grade 1 or better
    2. If major or minor surgery was performed at/near the area being considered for injection, participant must be recovered from toxicity and/or complications of intervention
    3. Has had injection, or radiation therapy of >30 Gy, participant must be recovered from toxicity and/or complications of intervention
    4. Has a history of second malignancy, unless potentially curative treatment has been completed with no further evidence of malignancy

Replacement therapy such as thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy (steroid use ≤10 mg prednisone, or its equivalent, daily) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed. The use of non-systemic steroids is permitted
    10. Participants with known Hepatitis B or C infections or known to be positive for HBsAg/HBV DNA or Hepatitis C Antibody or RNA. Active Hepatitis C is defined by a known positive Hep C Ab result and known quantitative HCV RNA results greater than the lower limits of detection of the assay
