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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 evaluate the efficacy of lenalidomide treatments to achieve haematopoietic improvement in subjects with low- or intermediate-1 risk International Prognostic Scoring System1 (IPSS) myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) associated with a del 5q cytogenetic abnormality To evaluate the efficacy of lenalidomide to achieve haematopoietic improvement in patients with isolated del5q with blasts <20%
    Protection of trial subjects
    Forty eight (48) subjects with a diagnosis of low- or intermediate-1 risk MDS associated with a del 5(q) cytogenetic abnormality or isolated del5(q) patients with up to 20% blasts, who are RBC transfusion-dependent and meet all the eligibility criteria will be enrolled into the study

    1) Clarification of co-sponsor arrangements between King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College London . 2) The investigational medicinal product, lenalidomide, supply beyond the 12 month study phase until patients show disease progression, toxicity or a decline in response. 3) The sensitivity and time points for conducting the pregnancy tests and the birth control section altered in line with Celgene’s most recent Pregnancy Prevention Programme for Investigator Initiated Trials in the European Union. 4) Follow up for patients who discontinue from study drug clarified in the protocol. 5) Change of Revlimid status from unlicensed product to confirmation of market authorisation.
    19 Sep 2012
    1) Change to the inclusion criteria to include patients with MDS and isolated del5q with blasts <20%. 2) Changes to the primary and secondary endpoints and study design in relation to the inclusion of patients with isolated del5q with blasts <20%. 3) Change in sample size from 36 to 48 patients The protocol has been updated to reflect the changes mentioned above with further administrative changes. The administrative changes include an update to the protocol appendix 4 Pregnancy Testing Guidelines and Acceptable Birth Control Methods, change in department name from Joint Clinical Trials Office to King’s Health Partners Clinical Trials Office and change in the address for Celgene.
