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.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study is to assess whether a higher HRQoL, in terms of impact of the disease and its treatment on physical and role functioning, is achieved with metronomic schedules of doxorubicin or cyclophosphamide plus prednisolone versus the standard doxorubicin treatment.
    L’obiettivo primario di questo studio è valutare se possa essere ottenuta una qualità della vita correlata alla salute (Health-related Quality of Life, HRQoL) più elevata, in termini di impatto della malattia e del relativo trattamento sul funzionamento fisico e il ruolo, con programmi metronomici di doxorubicina o ciclofosfamide più prednisolone rispetto al trattamento standard con doxorubicina.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    • To assess whether there is an improvement in quality of life, in terms of impact of the disease and its treatment on social, emotional and cognitive functioning as well as self-reported symptoms and overall quality of life/health perception, among patients treated with metronomic doxorubicin, patients treated with metronomic cyclophosphamide plus prednisolone and patients treated with standard doxorubicin regimen.
    • To assess whether there is a difference in the progression free survival, overall survival and tumor response among patients treated with metronomic doxorubicin, patients treated with metronomic cyclophosphamide plus prednisolone and patients treated with standard doxorubicin regimen.
    • To assess the toxicity profile of the three treatment arms
    • To assess the tolerability of the three treatment arms
    • Valutare se vi sia un miglioramento nella qualità della vita, in termini di impatto della malattia e del relativo trattamento sul funzionamento sociale, emotivo e cognitivo, nonché sui sintomi autoriferiti e sulla percezione complessiva della qualità della vita/salute, tra i pazienti trattati con terapia metronimica a base di doxorubicina, i pazienti trattati con terapia metronimica a base di ciclofosfamide più prednisolone e i pazienti trattati con regime a base di doxorubicina standard.
    • Valutare se vi sia una differenza nella sopravvivenza libera da progressione nella sopravvivenza globale e nella risposta tumorale tra i pazienti trattati con terapia metronimica a base di doxorubicina, i pazienti trattati con terapia metronimica a base di ciclofosfamide più prednisolone e i pazienti trattati con regime a base di doxorubicina standard.
    • Valutare il profilo di tossicità dei tre bracci di trattamento
    • Valutare la tollerabilità dei tre bracci di trattamento

    • WHO performance status 0 – 2
    • Life expectancy based on other significant morbidity of = 6 months
    • Presence of measurable disease (according to RECIST 1.1), as confirmed by imaging within the 28 days prior to randomization. CT with IV contrast is the preferred imaging modality. In case of any contra-indications (medical or regulatory), it is allowed to perform a non-contrast CT + MRI.
    • Progressive disease at entry based on RECIST 1.1
    • Patients amenable to receive doxorubicin according to investigator's assessment
    • Adequate haematological and organ function assessed prior to randomization:
    - Haematological function:
    * haemoglobin = 9.0 g/dL or 5.6 mmol/L
    * neutrophils (ANC) = 1.5 x 109/L
    * platelets = 100 x 109/L
    - Coagulation: partial thromboplastin time (PTT) = 1.0 times upper limit of normal (1.0 x ULN) of institutional limits and prothrombin time (PT) = 1.0 x ULN of institutional limits
    - Renal function: estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 50 ml/min/m2 (calculated by the MDRD formula); no proteinuria = grade 2 (CTCAE version 5.0);

    If isolated elevated bilirubin <2 x ULN and Gilberts syndrome suspected, suggest repeating bloods after food. If bilirubin improves to meet the criteria above this is acceptable. More severe persistent hepatic impairment of whatever cause would exclude the patient from treatment till resolved.
    - Cardiac function: clinically normal function based on the institutional lower limit of normal for left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as assessed either by multi-gated acquisition scan (MUGA) or cardiac ultrasound and 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) without clinically relevant abnormalities. Measurement should include investigator assessment of a potential participant’s risk for heart failure with a validated clinical classification system, i.e. the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. Only patients with NYHA class 1 and 2 are eligible.
    • Completion of EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-ELD14.
    • Assessment of G8 geriatric screening tool
    • For men: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive measures, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm, as defined below:
    - With female partners of childbearing potential, men must remain abstinent or use a condom during the treatment period and for a period of 6 months after the last dose of doxorubicin-based chemotherapy and for a period of 12 months after the last dose of cyclophosphamide-based chemotherapy. Men must refrain from donating sperm during this same period. Contraception should be considered for the female partners of childbearing potential as well.
    - With pregnant female partners, men must remain abstinent or use a condom during the treatment period and for a period of 6 months after the last dose of doxorubicin-based chemotherapy and for a period of 12 months after the last dose of cyclophosphamide-based chemotherapy to avoid exposing the embryo.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    • Difference in physical and role functioning at 12 weeks.
    • Physical functioning (PF) is one of the functional scale scores of the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. The scale score is based on the mean score of 5 items measuring patients' self-reported ability to perform physical activities. The scale score can range from 0-100 with higher scores indicating better functioning.
    • Role functioning (RF) is one of the other functional scale scores of the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. The scale score is based on the mean score of 2 items measuring patients' self-reported ability to perform daily tasks related to household, work or recreation. The scale score can range from 0-100 with higher scores indicating better functioning.
    • Differenza nel funzionamento fisico e funzionale a 12 settimane.
    • La funzionalità fisica (Physical Functioning, PF) è uno dei punteggi della scala funzionale del questionario EORTC QLQ-C30. Il punteggio della scala si basa sul punteggio medio di 5 voci che misurano la capacità autoriferita dei pazienti di svolgere attività fisiche. Il punteggio della scala può variare da 0 a 100, dove i punteggi più alti indicano un funzionamento migliore.
    • Il funzionamento del ruolo (RF) è uno degli altri punteggi della scala funzionale del questionario EORTC QLQ-C30. Il punteggio della scala si basa sul punteggio medio di 2 voci che misurano la capacità autoriferita dei pazienti di svolgere le attività quotidiane correlate a casa, lavoro o attività ricreative. Il punteggio della scala può variare da 0 a 100, dove i punteggi più alti indicano una migliore funzionalità.
