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
    1. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of combination treatments that have not been evaluated in Substudy 06A or a separate study.
    2. To estimate the objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1).
    1. Valutare la sicurezza e la tollerabilità dei trattamenti combinati che non sono stati valutati nel Sottostudio 06A o in uno studio separato
    2. Stimare il tasso di risposta obiettiva (ORR) valutato mediante revisione centrale indipendente in cieco (BICR) secondo i criteri di valutazione della risposta nei tumori solidi versione 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    1. To evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by BICR per RECIST 1.1.
    2. To evaluate the duration of response (DOR) as assessed by BICR per RECIST 1.1.
    3. To evaluate overall survival (OS).
    4. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of investigational treatment combinations based on the proportion of participants with AEs.
    1. Determinare la sopravvivenza libera da progressione (PFS) valutata mediante BICR in base ai criteri RECIST 1.1.
    2. Determinare la durata della risposta (DOR) valutata mediante BICR secondo i criteri RECIST 1.1.
    3. Valutare la sopravvivenza globale (OS).
    4. Valutare la sicurezza e la tollerabilità delle combinazioni di trattamento sperimentale in base alla percentuale di partecipanti con eventi avversi (AE).
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1.Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced unresectable or metastatic ESCC
    2.Have a life expectancy of >3 months
    3.Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 as determined by the local site investigator/radiology assessment and verified by BICR. A lesion(s) situated in a previously irradiated area can be considered a target lesion(s) if progression has been demonstrated and the lesion(s) is considered measurable per RECIST 1.1 criteria
    4.Experienced documented radiographic or clinical disease progression on one prior line of standard therapy that includes a platinum agent and previous exposure to an anti–PD-1/PD-L1 based IO therapy (either as a combination or monotherapy). This study will only include 2L participants who have progressed during or after receiving at least one dose of standard therapy given in a 1L setting
    5.Submits an evaluable baseline tumor sample (newly obtained or archival) for analysis. Newly obtained biopsies are preferred to archived tissue
    6.Performance status of 0 or 1 on the ECOG Performance Scale before first dose of study intervention.
    7.Adequately controlled BP with or without antihypertensive medications, defined as BP <=150/90 mm Hg with no change in antihypertensive medications within 1 week prior to randomization
    8.Participants with a feeding tube to maintain adequate nourishment and for the administration of medications are allowed
    9.Adequate organ function. Specimens must be collected within 7 days before the start of study intervention
    10.Participants are at least 18 years of age on the day of signing the informed consent
    11.If male, agrees to the following during the intervention period and for at least the time needed to eliminate each study intervention after the last dose of study intervention. The length of time required to continue contraception for each study intervention is as follows:
    -Chemotherapy: 90 days
    -Lenvatinib: 7 days
    -Pembrolizumab and MK-4830: no contraception requirements
