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   44335   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
    Assess complete/cytogenetic remission in patients with chromosome 7 abnormalities . All participants will be followed up every 3 months until death due to disease progression.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Any patient who experiences a nonhematological adverse event with NCI CTC toxicity Grade 3 or 4 that is an escalation from his or her status at Baseline (prior to the first dose) will have azacitidine temporarily discontinued until the toxicity grade returns to the Baseline value. Azacitidine should be permanently discontinued if the nonhematological toxicity persists for more than 21 days, despite the temporary interruption of study drug, or if the toxicity is life threatening.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    03 Sep 2010
    The main changes are as follow: 1) The sample size has been changed from 40 to 50 patients. This is to enable 40 efficacy evaluable patients to be analysed. 2) The investigational medicinal product, Azacitidine, will now be supplied beyond the 6 cycles study phase until patients show bone marrow disease progression, pr progression/relapse following documented erythroid haematologic improvement (CR,PR) or unless there is unacceptable toxicity. In addition, follow up procedures have been added to include an end of study visit and three-monthly follow up after the discontinuation of study treatment. 3) Celgene Europe Limited (Celgene Corporation acquired Pharmion) gained marketing authorisation in 2008 for Vidaza (trade name for Azacitidine), however clinical trial supply will continue to be provided for this trial. The formulation for the clinical trial supply is the same as the commercial supply, but with different packaging and labelling. The SmPC is submitted for information. Handling of the trial medication has been added to the protocol. 4) The label has been updated by Celgene and submitted for approval. 5) King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College London will co-sponsor the study. 6) Secondary objective for the study has been removed. 7) Laboratory parameters and time points when the assessments are completed have been updated. The inclusion criteria on laboratory parameters have been updated. 8) Pharmacovigilance reporting section is significantly updated to include reporting of pregnancies and reporting to Joint Clinical Trials Office acting on behalf of the trial sponsors. 9) Further sections have been added to specify the following aspects of trial conduct: direct access to source data and documents, EC and Regulatory approvals, Quality assurance, data handling, publication policy and financial aspects. 10) The importer information is updated on the CTA as Cardinal Health Clinical Supply Services was acquired by Catalent Phar
