Secondary Objectives:

  • To determine the efficacy of vandetanib when compared to placebo in this participant population as assessed by efficacy variables including duration of response (DOR), objective response rate (ORR), change in tumour size (TS) and overall survival (OS).
  • To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of vandetanib in this participant population and potentially investigate any influence of participant demography and pathophysiology on vandetanib PK.
  • To demonstrate an improvement in time to worsening of pain (TWP) in participants treated with vandetanib when compared to placebo in this participant population.
  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of vandetanib treatment in this participant population.
Read the detailed description

Participants who received vandetanib as randomized treatment were allowed, upon re-consent, to continue on open-label vandetanib if in the opinion of the Investigator the participant received benefit. Placebo participants who experienced disease progression within 60 days of unblinding were offered the option of treatment with open-label vandetanib if, in the Investigator's opinion, such treatment was of clinical benefit to the participant. Approximately 2 years; duration depends on individual participant response.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Vandetanib/ VandetanibExperimentalParticipants received Vandetanib 300 mg tablet, orally once daily until disease progression or death, in randomized treatment period (up to maximum of 40 months). Participants who completed the randomized treatment period, were offered the opportunity to continue the same vandetanib treatment in the open label period, if in the investigator's opinion, they received benefit and if the participant agreed and provided their informed consent to continue the open-label period for up to additional 31 months.
Receives: Drug: Vandetanib (SAR390530)
Placebo/ VandetanibPlacebo comparatorParticipants received placebo matched to Vandetanib tablet, orally once daily until disease progression or death, in randomized treatment period (up to maximum of 40 months). Participants who completed the randomized treatment period, and experienced disease progression were offered the option of treatment in open-label period with vandetanib, if in the investigator's opinion, they received benefit and if the participant agreed and provided their informed consent to begin open-label vandetanib treatment i.e., 300 mg tablet, orally once daily for up to 31 months.
Receives: Drug: Vandetanib (SAR390530); Drug: Placebo

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    The PFS was defined as the time (in months) from randomization until the date of first documented disease progression or death (from any cause), whichever came first. Disease progression as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) was defined as: at least a 20% increase and absolute increase of 5 mm in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Randomization until disease progression or death, assessed every 12 weeks (up to 22 months)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause. In the absence of observation of death, survival time was censored to last date the participant is known to be alive or at the cut-off date, whichever comes first. Analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: From randomization to the date of death due to any cause (maximum duration: up to 42 months)

  2. Randomized Treatment Period: Percent Change From Baseline in Tumor Size (TS) at Week 36

    Tumor size was the sum of the longest diameters of the target lesions. Target lesions were measurable tumor lesions. Baseline was defined as the last evaluable assessment prior to starting treatment.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 36

  3. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response

    Objective Response was defined as the percentage (%) of participants with complete response or partial response. Per RECIST 1.1 criteria, complete response was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions since Baseline. Any pathological lymph nodes selected as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to less than (<)10 millimeters (mm). Partial response was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the Baseline sum of diameters. Progressive Disease was defined as at least at least a 20% increase and absolute increase of 5 mm in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    Measured: From randomization to the date of first documented tumor progression, or death due to any cause, whichever comes first (maximum duration: up to 42 months)

  4. Time to Worsening of Pain (TWP) Using Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) of Worst Pain

    Time to worsening of pain was defined as the time interval from the date of randomization to the date of first assessment of worsening of pain with no evidence of improvement within the next 14 days. Participants rate their worst pain intensity during the past seven days using an 11-point NRS scale, where 0 represents "no pain" and 10 represents "pain as bad as you can imagine." Higher scores indicated greater pain severity. TWP analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: From randomization to the date of first assessment of worsening of pain (maximum duration: up to 42 months)

  5. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Duration of response was defined as the time from the date of first documented response until the date of documented progression or death. If participants did not progress following a response, then their DOR used the PFS censoring time. Per RECIST 1.1, progressive disease was defined as at least a 20% increase and absolute increase of 5 mm in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. DOR analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: From the date of first response to the date of first documented tumor progression or death due to any cause whichever comes first (maximum duration: up to 42 months)

  6. Randomized Treatment Period: PK Parameters: Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: Post-dose on Week 1 to Week 48

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Vandetanib (SAR390530) in people with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer, run by Genzyme, a Sanofi Company at 61 sites in 12 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 61 sites in Japan, United States, China, Italy, Brazil and 7 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Mar 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: Randomization until disease progression or death, assessed every 12 weeks (up to 22 months)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jul 2024.
