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   43841   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7281   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Does the combination of Rituximab and CODOX-M/IVAC improve the progression free survival in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B cell lymphoma or Burkitt's lymphoma of international prognostic index high or high-intermediate risk? Caveats AEs: Only events experienced by 5% or more patients are given. Relationships are to R-CODOX-M/R-IVAC treatment (i.e. any IMP) Non-serious AEs: • Non-serious adverse events includes both serious and non-serious events. Only grade 3+ events given. • Some terms were not recorded as per CTCAE so e.g. “Neurological - NOS” so could not be categorised any further. • The total number of events is the number of patients experiencing an event as only worst grades were reported
    Protection of trial subjects
    CODOX-M/IVAC had previously been given to patients with Burkitt lymphoma and it was suggested that DLBCL patients would do better with the more intense regimen. Rituximab was added as it was unlikely to alter the toxicity but could improve responses. Etoposide was used outside its licensed indication (testicular tumour, small cell lung cancer and monoblastic leukaemia). Drug accountability logs were kept by sites, and sent to UCL CTC on request. Though DLBCL is not listed as an indication for etoposide in the SmPC, more than a dozen published clinical trials have used this drug in the treatment of DLBCL patients. Only investigators/nurses experienced in using these IMPs according to the protocol were delegated treatment responsibilities. IDMC committee met at least annually to review safety data. Patients were closely monitored for toxicity and the protocol detailed non-haematological toxicity dose modifications.
    Background therapy
    Leucovorin (15mg/m^2, IV) was administered as part of the R-CODOX-M regimen. It was administered at hour 36 and then every three hours until hour 48. From then it was administered every 6 hours until methotrexate level was below 5x10^-8M. Patients also received Mesna as part of the R-IVAC regimen on days 1-5. Intravenous Mesna 300mg/m^2 was administered mixed with ifosfamide (1.5g/m^2) over a one hour period. Co-trimoxazole 480mg (PO) was administered twice daily on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during treatment and for six months post therapy. Mouth care, antacids and anti-emetics were given according to local protocols. The suggested regimen was: Corsdyl 5ml qd mouthwash; Acyclovir 200mg qd or 400mg bd; lansoprazole 30mg od (po); metoclompramide 10mg tds for 3 days. Radiotherapy was permitted in specific situations and the protocol detailed guidance on CNS prophlyaxis and treatment, and post-treatment neutropenia.
    Evidence for comparator
    This trial was a single arm study and therefore no comparator was used.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    All adverse events (AEs) that occur between informed consent and 30 days post treatment.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Patients were assessed for adverse events prior to each treatment cycle. Pre-existing conditions did not qualify as adverse events unless they worsened. Relationships are to R-CODOX-M R-IVAC treatment (i.e. counted as related if possibly, probably or definitely related to any IMP in the regimen). 145 out of 145 patients experienced at least one AE.

    Date
    Amendment
    04 Jul 2006
    An amendment to the protocol containing the following changes: • For each of the IVAC courses the Depocyte is given on day 5 not on day 1 • Consequently Dexamethasone is moved to day 5-10 instead of day 1-5 • The Depocyte will be given on day 5 as a part of treatment of patients with CNS disease
    19 Oct 2006
    The protocol was amended as follows: • International Prognostic Index has replaced the Age Adjusted IPI in Appendix 1 and reference made to this changed throughout the protocol • The Declaration of Helsinki was added, appendix 11 • Reference to Rasburicase removed • Information on who will be supplying what drugs was added • Rituximab amended to be given on day 11 as opposed to day 10 • Section on safety reporting has had additions made to it, providing more comprehensive information to sites as well as a flow diagram on assessing and notifying the Lymphoma Trials Office of events • A reference has been removed • Appendix 3 addition of information prophylaxis has been added • Patient Information Sheet, reference to ‘age adjusted’ has been removed as well as reference to Rasburicase • Consent form part I and II, reference to ‘age adjusted’ has been removed • GP letter, reference to ‘age adjusted’ has been removed. • Contact details have changed for Cathy Burton.
    28 Aug 2007
    The protocol, PIS, consent form and GP letter were amended as below: • International Prognostic Index replaced the Age Adjusted IPI in Appendix 1 and reference made to this was changed throughout the protocol • The Declaration of Helsinki was added, appendix 11 • Reference to Rasburicase was removed • Information on who will be supplying what drugs was added • Rituximab was amended to be given on day 11 as opposed to day 10 • Section on safety reporting had additions made to it, providing more comprehensive information to sites as well as a flow diagram on assessing and notifying the Lymphoma Trials Office of events • Pg 42, a reference was removed • Appendix 3 addition of information on prophylaxis was added • Patient Information Sheet reference to ‘age adjusted’ was removed as well as reference to Rasburicase • Consent form part I and II reference to ‘age adjusted’ was removed • GP letter reference to ‘age adjusted’ was removed • Contact details changed for Cathy Burton
    20 Aug 2008
    An Urgent Safety Measure (USM) led to an amendment to the protocol, PIS and consent form. This was following a decision to remove Depocyte (liposomal cytarabine) from the protocol treatment schedule due to safety concerns over it's use with high dose chemotherapy, Depocyte was replaced in the protocol amendment with a proven safe and effective option. The PIS was also amended to include an update to the the number of times patients would receive intrathecal treatment.
    19 May 2009
    The title of the study and the protocol was amended to include Burkitt's Lymphoma (BL). The decision to include BL patients into the trial was based upon published data which suggested promising results had been reported using CODOX-M/IVAC in this group of patients at the time. The protocol amendment included: • Change of primary outcome measure and endpoint to progression free survival • More information given on non-haematological toxicity & dose modification (section 8.2) • Statistical Consideration section was changed to reflect the change in endpoint and inclusion of Burkitt’s lymphoma patients (section 13) • Additional information added to Appendix 5, recommending that Septrin be stopped once week prior to the administration of high dose methotrexate to avoid any potential drug reactions • Appendix 6 included an extensive list of toxicities expected with chemotherapy drugs • PIS , consent form and GP letter removed as appendices and provided as stand alone documents • The inclusion of BL patients was added to the PIS and GP letter, the title of the consent form was changed on the consent form, GP letter and the PIS. The PIS was also updated to include the advice by Roche over the concern of patients developing Progressive Leukoencephalopathy (PML) having been treated with rituximab.
    09 Aug 2010
    The protocol was amended to include the following changes: • Change of protocol cover page and authorisation signature page • Additional information to the site selection section (section 3.0) • Addition of a section on Informed consent (section 4.0) • Change in the patient selection section; baseline investigations and eligibility criteria. Maximum age of inclusion was increased from 60 years as stated in the original application to 65 years of age. Echocardiogram or nuclear medicine scan (MUGA) was made mandatory for patients aged from 61 to 65 years. (sections 5.1 and 5.3.1) • Addition of sections on pregnancy /birth control and long term infertility (sections 5.3.3 and 5.3.4) • Additional sections on trial monitoring and oversight, withdrawal of patients and trial closure (sections 14.0, 15.0 & 16.0,) • Additional information to the ethical and regulatory approvals section (section 18.0) • Additional sections on sponsorship & indemnity, funding and publication policy (section 19.0, 20.0 and 21.0) • Removal of the expected toxicities for each chemotherapy drug from the appendix, and the addition of expected adverse events for the treatment regimen. The expected adverse events for each drug will be based on the individual SmPCs (appendix 9) The PIS and consent form were also updated to reflect the changes to the protocol.
    28 Jan 2011
    The protocol was amended following an urgent safety measure (USM) which lead to amending the treatment schedule so vincristine was no longer scheduled on the same day as the intrathecal drugs.
