What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Objective Response - Maximum Tolerated Dose Expansion (MTD) Cohort

    Number of participants with objective response for maximum tolerated dose expansion (MTD) cohort was reported. The objective response was defined as a best overall response of complete response or partial response based on investigator's assessment according to the institutional response evaluation criteria for the given tumour type, assessed every 8 weeks until progression.

    Measured: Assessed every 8 weeks until progression of disease, up to 336 days.

  2. Area Under the Curve Over Dosing Interval τ at Steady State (AUCτ,ss) - Dose Finding Part

    Area under the curve over dosing interval τ at steady state (AUCτ,ss) for Dose finding part was reported.

    Measured: Pre-dose before afatinib administration then 1 hour (h), 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5 h, 6 h, 8 h and 24 h after administration at steady state on Day 8.

  3. Maximum Measured Concentration of the Analyte in Plasma at Steady State (Cmax,ss) - Dose Finding Part

    Maximum measured concentration of the analyte in plasma at steady state (Cmax,ss) for Dose finding part was reported.

    Measured: Pre-dose before afatinib administration then 1 hour (h), 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5 h, 6 h, 8 h and 24 h after administration at steady state on Day 8.

  4. Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicity Adverse Events - Dose Finding Part

    Number of participants with Dose Limiting Toxicity adverse events for Dose finding part was reported.

    Measured: During the first course (28 days) of treatment.

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Number of Participants With Objective Response - Dose Finding Part

    Number of participants with objective response for Dose finding part was reported. The objective response was defined as a best overall response of complete response or partial response based on investigator's assessment according to the institutional response evaluation criteria for the given tumour type, assessed every 8 weeks until progression.

    Measured: Assessed every 8 weeks until progression of disease, up to 336 days.

  2. Progression Free Survival - Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Expansion Cohort

    Progression free survival for the MTD expansion cohorts was reported. Progression free survival (PFS) was defined as the duration from the date of first treatment until the date of the first documented progression or death due to any cause. If a patient did not have an event, PFS was censored at the date of last adequate tumour assessment.

  7. Accumulation (or Effective) Half-life - Dose Finding Part/Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Expansion Cohort

    Accumulation (or effective) half-life for Dose finding part/maximum tolerated dose (MTD) expansion cohort was reported.

    Measured: Pre-dose before afatinib administration then 1 hour (h), 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5 h, 6 h, 8 h and 24 h after administration at steady state on Day 8.

  8. Duration of Objective Response - Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Expansion Cohort

    Duration of objective response in maximum tolerated dose expansion (MTD) cohort was reported. The objective response was defined as a best overall response of complete response or partial response based on investigator's assessment according to the institutional response evaluation criteria for the given tumour type, assessed every 8 weeks until progression.

    Measured: From first documented response until the earliest of disease progression or death, up to 336 days.

  9. Area Under the Curve Over Dosing Interval τ at Steady State (AUCτ,ss) - Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Expansion Cohort

    Area under the curve over dosing interval τ at steady state (AUCτ,ss) in maximum tolerated dose (MTD) expansion cohort was reported.

    Measured: Pre-dose before afatinib administration then 1 hour (h), 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5 h, 6 h, 8 h and 24 h after administration at steady state on Day 8.

  10. Maximum Measured Concentration of the Analyte in Plasma at Steady State (Cmax,ss) - Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Expansion Cohort

    Maximum measured concentration of the analyte in plasma at steady state (Cmax,ss) in maximum tolerated dose (MTD) expansion cohort was reported.

    Measured: Pre-dose before afatinib administration then 1 hour (h), 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5 h, 6 h, 8 h and 24 h after administration at steady state on Day 8.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing afatinib in people with Neuroectodermal Tumors and Rhabdomyosarcoma, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 28 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 6 inclusion and 3 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 4 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 28 sites in France, Italy, United Kingdom, United States, Germany 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 4 Mar 2021). 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?

Number of Participants With Objective Response - Maximum Tolerated Dose Expansion (MTD) Cohort (time frame: Assessed every 8 weeks until progression of disease, up to 336 days.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02372006, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 4 Mar 2021.
