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   43846   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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
    In patients with T-cell lymphoma complete clinical remissions can be obtained with conventional treatment (usually CHOP based) but they are often short-lived. The disease has a tendency to relapse, and there may be an increased (over that of B-cell tumours) risk of CNS involvement at relapse. Consequently patients with T-cell lymphoma have poor long term outcomes with conventional CHOP based therapies. The main objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and toxicity of intensive chemotherapy (alternating IVE and intermediate dose methotrexate) for treatment of aggressive T-cell lymphomas of defined histological subtypes.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Intensive treatment of this kind has side effects, patients were monitored closely so that any side effects could be treated quickly. Women who could become pregnant were informed that they must use an effective contraceptive during the course of the study as should male patients because the treatment can interfere with normal functioning of the female egg or male sperm. Undergoing treatment of this intensity may affect future fertility and males were therefore advised to undergo sperm banking before the treatment begins if they wished to preserve fertility.
    Background therapy
    Folinic acid and mesna are NIMPS in this study. Five doses of calcium folinate 15mg/m2 are given at 3 hour intervals, between +36 hours and +48 hours post start of the Methotrexate infusion. On day 1 of IVE, MESNA is given at 1800mg/m2 as IV bolus prior to administration of Ifosfamide, and on days 1-3 of IVE as two 11 hour IV infusions with Ifosfamide. On day 4 of IVE treatment, MESNA is given as a 12 hour infusion at 5400mg/m2.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    01 Dec 2007
    The original CTA listed all drugs used in this trial together with information on the companies who supply this drug. As hospitals use their own hospital stock for this trial we thought the CTA should tie in with the information in the approved protocol by allowing sites to use generic stock, hence why the CTA has been amended by omitting this information.
    01 Oct 2008
    Amendment to Protocol, PIS, Consent form: Page 9, 22 and 18 in protocol and page 36 and 37 in PIS- clarified that stem cells can be harvested after second or third cycle of IVE chemotherapy
    11 Jun 2009
    The amendment was for the addition of two new Principal Investigators and sites and some changes made to the CTA form. Details are as follows: 1. Dr. Claudius Rudin, Royal Devon & Exeter FT 2. Dr. Fergus Jack, Poole Hospital NHS FT The following changes were made to the CTA: - Change to sponsor & applicant identification - Changes made to section E.2.2 of the CTA - Change to exclusion criteria & primary endpoint (E.4 & 5) Change to central technical facilities
    04 Mar 2010
    Change in information on the NRES application form A change to the ionising radiation section of the form (Part B section 3, question B2) was made. The exposure (dose constraint) of the staging CT scan was increased from 12.5 mSv to 16mSv. This was reviewed to meet the NDRL for chest/abdo/pelvis
    21 Jun 2010
    After an audit carried out on the 17th of June 2010, it was discovered that the guidance given to patients in the PIS regarding contraception did not match the guidance contained within the SmPCs and investigator brochures, thus, it was decided that an urgent safety measure be taken to inform the Trial Subjects of the correct information. The PIS stated contraceptive should be used at least one month after treatment, while the SmPCs for ifosfamide, methotrexate and etoposide state that patients should use contraceptive measures for at least 6 months post last administration of these drugs. The following urgent safety measures were implemented: • Chief Investigator was notified of the circumstances surrounding the decision of the urgent safety measure and the actions to be taken • All relevant staff at the participating sites were notified of the urgent safety measure • The MHRA medical assessor (Dr Nagercoil) and the ethics committee coordinator were immediately informed by telephone of the urgent safety measure on 17th June 2010. • An addendum to the current Patient Information Sheet (PIS) informing patients of the correct information on contraception during and after treatment was sent out to sites for the re-consenting of patients already registered on the trial • A new version of the Patient Information Sheet with the correct information on how long contraception should be used after treatment has been sent out to sites, and should immediately supersede the information sheet currently being used • A process has also been put in place to monitor the re-consenting of the patients already on the trial
    27 Apr 2011
    The following main changes were made to the CT application form: Section A: • Change to the Full and short titles of the trial, to reflect the inclusion of other disease subtypes • Update to the sponsor’s protocol code number • Inclusion of the US NCT number Section B: • Update of the sponsor’s contact details • Addition of the contact point designated by the sponsor Section C: • Update to the request for Authorisation to Competent Authority Section D: • Update to IMPs information • Deletion of Mesna as an IMP • Inclusion of Lomustine as an IMP (as stated in the amended protocol v4.0, pg 62) Section E: • Inclusion of subtypes of the medical condition to be investigated in the ‘inclusion criteria’ • Additional Information to the trial information – MedDRA • Change in the definition of ‘End of Trial’ • Addition of the recruitment start date Section G: • Addition of a central technical facility Section H: • Change of National Competent Authority details
    09 May 2011
    Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Ifosfamide, Etoposide, Epirubicin, Methotrexate, Cytarabine, Carmustine and Melphalan: We proposed not to apply IMP labelling to Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Ifosfamide, Etoposide, Epirubicin, Methotrexate, Cytarabine, Carmustine and Melphalan given IV as their use falls under the remit of Regulation 46(2) of the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations, for the following reasons: 1) The IMPs are marketed products, used broadly within their authorisations (i.e. cancer). 2) The IMPs to be dispensed to subjects in accordance with a prescription given by an authorised health care professional 3) The IMPs to be labelled in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 5 to the Medicines for Human Use (Marketing Authorisations Etc.) Regulations 1994 that apply in relation to dispensed relevant medicinal products Prednisolone Abridged labels to be used for Prednisolone tablets.
