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
    To select a treatment regimen of CC-4047 either as single-agent or in combination with prednisone to study further in subjects with myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM).

    Evidence for comparator
    This study in MMM was designed to determine the appropriate CC-4047 dose and regimen as a monotherapy or in combination with prednisone. The comparator (prednisone monotherapy) facilitates the description of the Adverse Event (AE) profile of CC-4047. The prednisone control arm also allowed for a comparison in response rates of the CC-4047 mono- and combination therapies; thus providing a reasonable basis of information for designing further studies should the outcomes be in favor of a CC-4047 arm.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Participants were entered into the Pre-randomization phase and were evaluated for the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the Double-Blind Treatment Phase of the study. The Pre-Randomization Phase did not last more than 28 days. However, the bone marrow histology for diagnosis may have preceded this period.

    Subject, Investigator, Monitor
    Blinding implementation details
    A double-blind technique was used and was chosen to minimize bias on the part of participants, investigators, and the sponsor. Identical placebo capsules were supplied to match the 0.5 mg and 1.0 mg pomalidomide capsules. Placebo to match prednisone was also provided. The blind was not to be broken during the Double-Blind Treatment Phase unless in the opinion of the investigator it was absolutely needed to safely treat the subject. The medical monitor was to be contacted prior to unblinding.

    A clinical responder was defined as either: a. A baseline red blood cell (RBC)-transfusion-dependent participant with a ≥ 56 consecutive day RBC transfusion-free period after the first dose of study drug, or b. A baseline RBC-transfusion-independent participant with an increase in hemoglobin of 2.0 g/dL or more from baseline for ≥ 56 consecutive days in the absence of RBC transfusions, or c. A participant with either a ≥ 50% reduction in palpable splenomegaly of a spleen that was ≥ 10 cm at baseline or a spleen that was palpable at > 5 cm and became not palpable. Participants who discontinued the study early without achieving clinical response were counted as non-responders. Modified intent-to-treat (MITT), defined as the patients who had a confirmed diagnosis of Myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM), received at least one dose of study drug, and participated in the study for at least 56 days.

    Duration of First Clinical Response
    End point description
    For RBC-transfusion-dependent patients, duration of response was calculated as the last day of response - first day of response +1, where the last day of response was the date of the first RBC-transfusion administered at or more than 56 days after the response started. For patients who did not receive a subsequent transfusion after the response started, the end date of response was censored at the day of last hemoglobin assessment. For RBC-transfusion-independent patients, the duration of response was calculated as the last day of response - first day of response +1, where the last day of response was the earlier of the date of a hemoglobin increase of < 2.0 g/dL and the date of a RBC transfusion at ≥ 56 days after the response started. For patients whose hemoglobin measurements were always ≥ 2.0 g/dL and never received a RBC transfusion after response started, the end date of the response was censored at the date of last hemoglobin measurement. Kaplan-Meier methodology was used.

    Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
    End point description
    A serious AE (SAE) was defined as any AE which resulted in death or was life-threatening, required or prolonged inpatient hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or constituted an important medical event (events that may have jeopardized the patient or required intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above). The severity of AEs were graded according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, Version 3.0) or according to the following scale: Grade 1 = Mild; Grade 2 = Moderate; Grade 3 = Severe; Grade 4 = Life-threatening; Grade 5 = Death. The Investigator determined the relationship between study drug and the occurrence of an AE as "Not Related" or "Related" (since the study was double-blinded, a patient receiving only prednisone could have an AE that was judged as related to pomalidomide, and vice-versa).
