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   43839   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7280   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.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Male or female participants ≥ 18 years at the time of informed consent. Refer to protocol appendix 4 for reproductive criteria for male (protocol section 10.4.1) and female (protocol section 10.4.2) participants.
    2. Participants who are willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, lifestyle considerations, and other study procedures.
    3. Histologically confirmed unresectable (Stage IIIB, IIIC, or IIID) or metastatic (Stage IV) cutaneous melanoma, according to the AJCC 8th edition.
    Note: Locally advanced disease must not be amenable for treatment with curative intent.
    4. Presence of at least 1 measurable lesion as detected by radiological and/or photographic methods according to RECIST v1.1.
    Note: Tumor lesions situated in a previously irradiated area, or in an area subjected to other locoregional therapy, are not considered measurable unless there has been documented progression of the lesion.
    Note: If baseline scans from an institution other than the investigational site are used, the site must obtain copies of the scans prior to enrolment of the participant, or the scans must be repeated at the investigational site and submitted for independent review (Phase 3 only).
    Note: Clinical lesions will only be considered measurable when they are superficial and ≥ 10 mm diameter as assessed using calipers (eg, skin nodules). When lesions can be evaluated by both clinical exam and imaging, imaging evaluation should be performed and submitted for independent review (Phase 3 only).
    5. ECOG performance status 0 or 1.
    6. Documented evidence of a BRAF V600E or V600K mutation in melanoma tumor tissue as previously determined by either PCR or NGS-based local laboratory assay (eg, US FDA-approved test, CE-marked [European conformity] in vitro diagnostic in EU countries, or equivalent), obtained during the course of normal clinical care, in a CLIA- or similarly certified laboratory.
    7. Submission of adequate tumor tissue (archival or newly obtained; block or slides; see protocol section 8.7.2) to the sponsor central laboratory(ies) during the screening period and prior to enrollment (SLI)/randomization (Phase 3).
    Note: Whenever possible, the archival sample should be from the same tumor block that was used for local BRAF V600E/K mutation testing.
    Note: A newly obtained tumour tissue biopsy must be provided prior to enrolment (SLI)/ randomization (Phase 3) for participants unable to provide adequate archival tumour tissue. If a newly obtained biopsy is taken, the biopsy should be taken from a nontarget lesion when possible.
    Note: Confirmation of the BRAF V600E/K mutation from the central laboratory is required (see protocol section 8.7.2). If results from the central laboratory are indeterminate or indicate insufficient tissue, additional samples must be submitted (see protocol section 8.7.2).
    8. SLI Participants: Have not received more than 1 prior systemic therapy for metastatic or locally advanced melanoma.
    Note: Prior neoadjuvant therapy for early-stage disease does not count as prior systemic therapy.
    Note: Participants who receive adjuvant therapy and had evidence of disease recurrence ≤ 6 months after the last dose of adjuvant treatment will be considered as having received prior first line therapy.
    Phase 3 Participants: Have not received prior first-line systemic therapy for metastatic or unresectable locally advanced melanoma.
    Note: Participants with complete surgical resection of locally advanced or metastatic disease (eg, definitive treatment of all sites of metastases), who receive up to 12 months of systemic adjuvant therapy are eligible for the study provided there is no evidence of disease recurrence ≤ 6 months after the last dose of adjuvant treatment.
    Note: Participants who receive any neoadjuvant therapy for early stage disease are eligible for the study.
    Note: Prior adjuvant therapy with a BRAFi and/or MEKi or anti-PD-1 or CTLA-4 agents is permitted.
    Note: Participants who receive adjuvant treatment for up to 12 months, and have evidence of disease recurrence during treatment or ≤ 6 months after the last dose of treatment would be considered as receiving first-line therapy and are therefore not eligible for study participation.
    9. Adequate bone marrow, hepatic and renal function, characterized by screening results specified in protocol section 5.1.

    For a full list please see protocol section 5.1.
