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   44201   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7332   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.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    • Participant is an adult ≥ 18 years old at the time of informed consentand has signed informed consent before any trial related activities and according to local guidelines.
    • Participant has a histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of ER+ and/or PgR+ breast cancer by local laboratory.
    • Participant has HER2-negative breast cancer defined as a negative in situ hybridization test or an IHC status of 0, 1+ or 2+. If IHC is 2+, a negative in situ hybridization (Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), Chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH), or Silver-enhanced in situ hybridization (SISH)) test is required by local laboratory testing.
    • Participant has at least one measurable lesion as per RECIST v1.1 criteria as assessed by Investigator (a lesion at a previously irradiated site may only be counted as a target lesion if there is clear sign of progression since the irradiation).
    • Participant has recurrence or progression of disease during or after combined AI (i.e. letrozole, anastrozole, exemestane) and CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy. The combined AI and CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy does not need to be the latest treatment regimen (including adjuvant setting).
    • Participant has received ≤ 2 prior lines of systemic therapies overall in the metastatic setting, of which a maximum of 1 line of prior treatment with chemotherapy (except for neoadjuvant/ adjuvant chemotherapy) is permitted .
    • The presence of PIK3CA mutation(s) determined in tumor tissue prior to enrollment either by a Novartis designated laboratory or in tumor tissue or plasma ctDNA by a local laboratory using a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved PIK3CA Companion Diagnostics (CDx) test for alpelisib or the CE-IVD QIAGEN Therascreen® PIK3CA RGQ PCR test.
    • If female, then the participant must be in postmenopausal status
    Further inclusion criteria and details are described in the protocol

    - Participant has received prior treatment with fulvestrant, any oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), any Phosphatidylinositol- 3-Kinase (PI3K), mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) or Protein Kinase B (AKT) inhibitor

    Further exclusion criteria and details are described in the protocol

    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    - Overall survival
    - Overall response rate (ORR) with confirmed response, clinical benefit rate (CBR) with confirmed response, duration of response (DOR) with confirmed response, and time to response (TTR) based on BIRC assessment and RECIST v1.1
    - PFS based on BIRC assessment and using RECIST v1.1 criteria for participants by PIK3CA mutation status assessed in ctDNA at baseline
    - Incidence, type and severity of adverse events per CTCAE v4.03 criteria
    - Time to definitive deterioration of ECOG performance status from baseline
    - Time to definitive (10%) deterioration in the global health status/Quality of Life (QoL) and symptom scale scores of the EORTC QLQ-C30 Change from baseline in global health status/QoL and symptom scale scores of the EORTC QLQ-C30
    - Time from randomization to objective tumour progression on next line treatment or death from any cause (PFS2)
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    - From the date of randomization to the date of death for the OS
