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   44358   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7384   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    • To compare progression-free survival (PFS) of NUC-3373 in combination with leucovorin (LV), irinotecan and bevacizumab (NUFIRI-bev) with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in combination with LV, irinotecan and bevacizumab (FOLFIRI-bev) • To determine the optimal NUFIRI-bev dosing schedule
    Protection of trial subjects
    The Chief Investigator (CI) ensured that the study was conducted in full conformity with the principles of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and any subsequent revisions and in accordance with the guidelines laid down by the International Conference on Harmonisation for Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP E6 guidelines). Precautions were taken to ensure that patient confidentiality was preserved at all times. The Informed Consent Form identified those individuals who required access to patient data and identifiable details and obtained appropriate permission from the consenting patient.

    Progression-Free Survival [1]
    End point description
    PFS was defined as the time from randomisation to the first observation of objective tumour progression or death from any cause. Patients who had not experienced disease progression or death at the time of final analysis were censored at the time of the latest date of assessment from their last evaluable RECIST v1.1 assessment.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    Assessed every 8 weeks from Day 1 until the end of study (up to 16 months)
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: The study was stopped early for futility; therefore, the analyses performed should only be viewed descriptively.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    26 Sep 2023
    All country-specific updates were consolidated into the v2.0 protocol. In addition, the following key updates were made: • Analytes to be measured as part of PK endpoint updated. • Eligibility criteria updated to: o Be more representative of the 2nd-line patient population. o Allow patients who have relapsed on prior neoadjuvant therapy. o Ensure that patients who can no longer receive oxaliplatin due to toxicity or allergy are eligible regardless of duration of prior therapy. o Ensure that patients with benign neutropenia who are otherwise eligible are not excluded. o Allow patients who tolerated prior treatment with 5-FU but at a reduced dose level to participate and to receive 5-FU at the same reduced dose. o Clarify that dosing of prednisolone ≥10 mg is not permitted during study participation. o Allow patients with skin reactions that are due to recent anti-cancer treatment. o Allow Investigators to initially withhold bevacizumab (for a maximum of 1 cycle) to allow wound healing. o Exclude concomitant use of sorivudine or analogues. • Text added to ensure that 5-FU dose adjustments in patients with partial DPD deficiency are in accordance with standard practices on a country-by-country basis. • Text added to allow Investigators to perform an initial dose reduction of irinotecan for patients with a known mutation that may affect their ability to metabolise irinotecan. • Text added to allow patients who have previously tolerated bevacizumab infusions well to receive all infusions over 30 minutes, rather than receiving the first and second infusions over 90 and 60 minutes, respectively. • The use of levo-LV was removed. • Time that live vaccines are prohibited extended to 3 months after the last dose of study treatment. • SAE reporting requirements updated to align with latest guidelines.
    06 Feb 2024
    The following key updates were made: • Inclusion criterion 12 updated to clarify that patients with Gilbert’s syndrome do not need to meet the threshold for bilirubin levels. • It was clarified that Investigators can perform DPD status testing by either genotyping or phenotyping as per their local standard practices.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Due to the early closure of the study, many patients were censored for the efficacy endpoints and the data should therefore be interpreted with caution.
