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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.

    Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS)
    ECOG Performance Status is used to assess a patient's disease status, and how the disease affects daily living activities according to the following scale: 0 = Fully active, able to carry out all activities without restriction; 1= Restricted in physically strenuous activity, ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light nature; 2= Ambulatory and capable of all self-care, unable to carry out any work activities. Up and about > 50% of waking hours; 3= Capable of only limited self-care, confined to bed or chair > 50% of waking hours; 4= Completely disabled, confined to bed or chair.

    End point description
    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) assessed by the Investigator per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Response evaluations were performed using computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approximately every 6 weeks for the first 54 weeks and every 12 weeks thereafter. CR: Disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) < 10 mm, and no new lesions. PR: At least 30% decrease in the size of target lesions, no progression of non-target lesions and no new lesions, or disappearance of target lesions with persistence of ≥ 1 non-target lesion(s) and/or maintenance of tumor marker level above the normal limits and no new lesions. CR/PR must have been confirmed ≥ 4 weeks after response was first observed. The Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Analysis Set included all randomized participants.

    		 Duration Of Response (DOR) Assessed by the Investigator
    End point description
    Duration of response is defined as the time from the first determination of an objective response (CR or PR) until the first documentation of progressive disease as assessed by the Investigator per RECIST v1.1, or death, whichever occurred first. Median DOR was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The analysis includes participants in the Intent-to-Treat Analysis Set who had an objective response per Investigator assessment. "99999" indicates values that could not be estimated due to the low number of events.

    End point description
    Disease Control Rate is defined as the percentage of participants who had confirmed CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) assessed by the IRC and the investigator per RECIST v1.1. Response evaluations were performed using computed tomography or MRI approximately every 6 weeks for the first 54 weeks and then every 12 weeks thereafter. CR: Disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) < 10 mm, and no new lesions. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the size of target lesions, with no progression of non-target lesions and no new lesions, or disappearance of target lesions with persistence of 1 or more non-target lesion(s) and/or maintenance of tumor marker level above the normal limits, and no new lesions. SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage in size of lesions to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, and no new lesions. Response (CR or PR) must have been confirmed 4 weeks or later after the first response.

    End point description
    The EORTC QLQ-30 contains 30 questions that incorporate 5 functional scales (physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, and social functioning), 1 global health status scale, 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), and 6 single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). The participant answers questions about their health during the past week. There are 28 questions answered on a 4-point scale where 1 = Not at all (best) and 4 = Very Much (worst) and 2 global health quality of life (QOL) questions answered on a 7-point scale where 1 = Very poor and 7 = Excellent. Raw scores are transformed into a 0 to 100 scale via linear transformation. Higher scores in GHS and functional scales indicate better quality of life.

    The EORTC-QLQ-OES18 is the specific esophageal symptoms module of the QLQ-C30. QLQ-OES18 is comprised of 18 questions grouped into 4 multi-item subscales: Dysphagia (3 items), Eating (4 items), Reflux (2 items), and Pain (3 items) and 6 single item subscales (saliva swallowing, choking, dry mouth, taste, coughing, and talking). Participants indicate the extent to which they have experienced symptoms on a scale from 1 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). Scores are calculated and transformed to a scale from 0 to 100; higher scores indicate a higher level of symptomatology or problems.

    		 Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
    End point description
    An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study drugs, whether related to study drugs or not. An SAE is any event that: -Resulted in death. -Was life-threatening. -Required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. -Resulted in disability/incapacity. -Was a congenital anomaly/birth defect. -Was considered a significant medical AE by the Investigator. AEs were considered related to study drug if there was evidence to suggest a causal relationship. The investigator assessed the severity of each AE reported based on National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for AEs (NCI-CTCAE) v5.0, where ≥ 3 includes severe or medically significant, life-threatening events or death related to AE. Immune-mediated AEs were diagnosed by the investigator. TEAEs leading to death excludes death due to disease under study.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    03 Jun 2022
    Protocol Amendment 1.0 Key Changes: • Revised the expected number of randomized patients from approximately 280 to approximately 120, as a result of the wide use of anti-PD-L1 agents in earlier lines of therapy and consequent enrollment difficulties. The patient enrollment was incomplete by the release of Protocol Amendment 1.0. • Converted OS from a primary to secondary objective because the reduced sample size would not support OS as a primary endpoint. • Updated the study design to unblind the sponsor (the sponsor was unblinded but investigators, site staff, and patients remained blinded) to allow the sponsor to review data across treatment arms.
    27 Feb 2023
    Protocol Amendment 2.0 Key Changes: • Deleted the GLP compliance sentence from the pivotal toxicology studies based on the latest Tislelizumab Investigator’s Brochure. • Added the patient supply treatment program to clarify the opportunity for continued treatment according to the current practice of the sponsor. • Revised the testing method of the null hypothesis of ORR from the Miettinen and Nurminen test to Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel method, as the latter one is a more commonly used testing method for ORR. • Revised the percentage and number of the OS events from 70% (84 deaths) of the total sample size of 120 patients to 60% (72 deaths) in the secondary efficacy analysis as a sponsor’s decision to change data maturity for OS analysis.
