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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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
    The objectives of Part 1 of the study were: -To determine the rate of hematologic response (HR) lasting >/= 4 weeks in subjects iwth Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in the accelerated phase (AP). -To evaluate duration of HR, overall survival, cytogenetic response (CyR), time to blast crisis in CML patients in the AP, improvement of symptomatic parameters, tolerability and safety of STI571 treatment. The objective of the extenstion (Part 2) was: -To enable patients to have access to study drug and continue study treatment and to decrease data collection to include only overall survival and serious adverse events.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    Percentage of Participants With Cytogenetic Response in Accelerated Phase Chronic Myeloid/Myelogenous Leukemia [3]
    End point description
    Bone marrow (BM) cytogenetic analysis was required at baseline, after 12 weeks (visit 22) and after 24 weeks (visit 28) to evaluate Ph chromosome positivity. In several participants, this was also done after 4 and 8 weeks. Based on the percentage of Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) cells = (positive cells/examined cells)x100, at each BM assessment the cytogenetic response was classified as: Complete, 0% Ph+ cells; Partial, >0 - 35% Ph+ cells; Minor, >35 - 65% Ph+ cells; Minimal, >65 - 95% Ph+ cells; None, >95% Ph+ cells; Not done: <20 metaphases were examined and/or response could not be assigned. Cytogenetic response was defined as confirmed complete or partial response. A BM sample was considered as assessable for cytogenetic response only if it contained ≥20 metaphases. However, an assessment of partial response was retained in a sample with <20 metaphases when it was immediately preceded or followed by a complete or partial response in another sample with ≥20 metaphases.

    Kaplan-Meier Estimates of Overall Survival by Disease
    End point description
    To evaluate overall survival, all patients were to be followed after the last dose of study drug every month for the first three months and thereafter every three months until death. Overall survival was calculated for all patients as the time between start of treatment and death due to any reason. The time was censored at the date of last contact for patients who discontinued treatment and were in survival follow-up. For patients without survival follow-up information, the time was censored at last available visit / treatment date.

    Adverse events information [1]
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Safety information provided in the final CSR is based on SAEs reported in the safety (ARGUS) database. All AEs reported in the clinical database had been included in the CSR based on data cut-off of core document.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Information about all serious adverse events was collected on the SAE form and recorded in the safety database only. To ensure patient safety each serious adverse event also had to be reported to Novartis within 24 hours of learning its occurrence.

    Reporting group description
    The only data available during this part of the trial are data from spontaneous reporting furnished to Novartis externally.

    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: AEs were not collected separately for each disease and dose groups of participants. The data has been reported as originally produced by the team at the time of reporting. We have exhausted all efforts to locate additional data; therefore, no additional data is available to report or modify what has previously been reported. No other non-serious AEs were collected during extension phase within clinical database.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    05 Oct 1999
    The main changes are summarized as follows: - Recruitment to the three exploratory disease groups: Ph+ CML in LBC, Ph+ ALL, Ph+AML, was put on hold. - Patients with total serum bilirubin </= 3x the ULN were allowed to enter the study. - It was decided to limit the number of patients treated at 400 mg o.d. in this study, and to add a cohort at 600 mg o.d. - Dose escalation from 400 to 600 mg daily for patients who became resistant or relapsed while receiving STI571 treatment was allowed. - Trough plasma concentrations of STI571 on days 8 and 28 were to be determined in patients from US centers only. - Patients were allowed to be followed at the referral center after a minimum period of two months of follow-up at the study center. - Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) analysis was to be performed on bone marrow samples with less than 20 identified metaphases for cytogenetics.
    21 Dec 1999
    The main changes are summarized as follows: - Additional patients with CML in AP were to be recruited onto the study at the 600 mg o.d. dose level, after significant initial response rates had been observed in this population. - Patients with CML in AP were to be included only if they had never been in the blastic phase of the disease. - The adult Ph+ ALL and AML groups were to be re-opened for accrual, after analysis of data from the Phase 1 study showed significant response rates in these groups. - Accrual into the CML LBC disease group was discontinued. - Patients receiving therapy with drugs known to significantly affect gastric pH were allowed to enter the study. - Patients with disease progression while on STI571 treatment at a dose of 600 mg o.d. could have the dose increased to 800 mg, administered as 400 mg b.i.d., since no drug-related SAEs had been recorded in the cohort of patients receiving this dose in the Phase I study. - The dose reduction steps for non-hematological toxicity were simplified. - Procedures for management of grade 4 neutropenia were modified. - The evaluation of PK of STI571 was extended, by implementing a population PK study which included patients in CML in AP only. - The statistical section of the protocol was revised.
    30 Aug 2000
    The main changes are summarized as follows: - Patients were allowed to take STI571 immediately before and during meals, following results from a study, which showed that the effect of food on the bioavailability of STI571 was minimal. - During Part 2 of the study only, the monthly requirement for evaluation of the patient at the study center was changed to 3-monthly during the first 6 months and 4-monthly thereafter. The visits could be conducted at the referral site. - The supply of STI571 to patients was changed to monthly during study Part 1, 3-monthly during the first 6 months of Part 2 and 4-monthly thereafter.
    13 Mar 2008
    The main changes are summarized as follows: - Follow up study visits will be decreased from every six months to every year (±3 months) at which time a yearly supply of study drug will be dispensed. - For discontinued patients, survival information data collection will be decreased from every six months to every year (±3months) until death, or for a period of up to a total of five years, inclusive from the date the patient commenced the extension protocol, whichever is longer. - The addition of a new section to include protocol deviation language that states that under no circumstances are protocol deviations allowed. - Patients will be discontinued if they do not adhere to the study requirements. - Study drug will only be shipped directly to the investigational sites. - Study drug STI571 tablets will be used instead of capsules.
    17 Aug 2012
    This amendment introduced the following changes: Section 1, Introduction - Addition of statement to reflect that the study will be closed following the final visit of patients. Patients that are currently benefiting from the study medication can enroll in the roll-over protocol (CSTI571A2406) and receive the same dose of imatinib. - Addition of statement to reflect that the study will be closed following the final visit of patients. Patients that are currently benefiting from the study medication can enroll in the roll-over protocol (CSTI571A2406) and receive the same dose of imatinib. Section 3.3.1, Dispensing of Drug - Addition of statement to reflect that study treatment will not be dispensed to the patients at their final visit. On-going patients that are currently benefiting from the treatment with imatinib as determined by the investigator, will continue to have access to imatinib in the roll-over protocol (CSTI571A2406). Section 3.4.1, Visit Schedule - The evaluation schedule is updated to reflect that once the roll-over protocol is approved at the study site patients will have their final visit. No study treatment will be dispensed to the patient at this final visit. Patients will need to sign an informed consent (amendment 2) as part of their final visit on the parent study informing them about these changes. Section 3.4.2.1, Overall Survival - Addition of statement for patients that have discontinued the study treatment no further follow-up visits are to be conducted. Section 5, Data Management - Addition of statement to reflect that the investigator must enter the information for patients who have discontinued the study drug as well as for those patients who will enroll in the roll-over protocol. For those patients given the opportunity to enroll in the roll-over protocol the Comments CRF is to document “Patient to enroll in Study CSTI571A2406” or similar wording.
