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 ).

    Time to MRD Progression
    End point description
    Time to MRD progression is defined for participants who do not show MRD response at any time during the study as the time from start of first infusion until the first result of MRD progression or hematological relapse, if no MRD progression was diagnosed before hematological relapse. For participants who showed MRD response during the study the time to MRD progression is defined as the time from the date of the first MRD response to the date of MRD relapse. Participants without an event of MRD progression were censored on the day of their last bone marrow aspiration/biopsy. Participants who received a bone marrow transplant were censored on the last day of bone marrow aspiration/biopsy before transplantation. MRD progression is defined as the increase in the MRD level by 1 log as compared to the baseline level (equal to a 10-fold increase in the number of MRD cells), and had to be confirmed within 6 weeks. "99999" indicates data not estimable.

    Time to MRD Relapse
    End point description
    Time to MRD relapse is defined only for participants with an MRD response during the study, defined as the time between the date of the first MRD response and the date of MRD relapse. If a participant experienced hematological relapse without having shown MRD positivity before then the time point of MRD relapse is defined as the time point of hematological relapse. Participants without an event of MRD relapse or hematological relapse were censored on the day of their last available bone marrow aspiration/biopsy. If a participant received a bone marrow transplant the last day of bone marrow aspiration/biopsy before transplantation was used as time point for censoring. MRD relapse is defined as reappearance of bcr/abl, and/or t(4;11) translocation at any detection level, and/or by individual rearrangements of immunoglobulin or T-cell receptor genes ≥10^-4 for at least 1 individual marker measured by an assay with a sensitivity of minimum 10^-4 and should be confirmed within 6 weeks.

    Number of Participants with Adverse Events
    End point description
    The severity (or intensity) of AEs was evaluated according to the grading scale provided in the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program, Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 3.0, or according to the following: Grade 1 – Mild AE; Grade 2 – Moderate AE; Grade 3 - Severe AE; Grade 4 - Life-threatening or disabling AE; Grade 5 - Death. The investigator used medical judgment to determine if there was a causal relationship (ie, related, unrelated) between an adverse event and blinatumomab. A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence or effect that, at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly or birth defect. In addition, all laboratory abnormalities of grade four severity that occur during or after administration of the investigational drug, any overdose and a pregnancy or fathering were reported as SAEs.

    Date
    Amendment
    21 Apr 2008
    - removal of subject upper age limit for inclusion in study - bone marrow assessment procedure changed to include bone marrow aspiration for measurement of MRD - change in necessary number of treatment cycles for evaluation of response for dose escalation (at least 1 cycle required instead of 2 cycles) - deletion of exclusion criterion #10; such that subjects with fulfilled criteria and available donor for allogeneic stem cell transplantation eligible for enrollment - modification of exclusion criterion #2; changed to current "relevant" CNS pathology - modification of exclusion criterion #7; added "low dose maintenance therapy such as vinca alkaloids, mercaptopurine, methotrexate, steroids" as acceptable prior therapy) - adjustment of infusion restart timepoint rules (corrected to day 0 and day 1) - modification of the formulation of the blinatumomab IV bag diluent (to minimize the formation of yellow color due to the oxidation of polysorbate 80, the IV Bag Diluent was formulated with 25 mM citric acid as an additional excipient) - shelf life extension for blinatumomab (up to 48 months)
    27 Oct 2008
    - extension of inclusion criterion #2 to bcr/abl and/or t(4;11) translocation at any detection level measured by RT-PCR - modification of exclusion criterion #15 to threshold of the antithrombin activity for exclusion of subjects from < lower limit of normal (LLN) to < 70% - modification of exclusion criterion #16 to allow subjects with history of malignancy other than ALL - change in the time of mandatory anticoagulation during study treatment to first 7 days of each treatment cycle - change in criteria for dose escalation - addition of secondary endpoint of MRD response after any treatment cycle
    24 Mar 2009
    - recommendation of intrathecal prophylaxis during treatment - reduction of number of PD and PK assessments - prolongation of hospitalization for monitoring following dose escalation - adaption of informed consent form - change of principal investigator at Dresden site
    25 Jan 2010
    - change in post-study follow-up period assessments and times - change from electronic CRFs to paper version in post study follow-up period - specification of duration of subject participation/duration of study to up to 62 weeks for core study - change in planned statistical analysis to remove comparison of time to event analyses to historical control data
    02 Mar 2011
    - prolong the administration period of blinatumomab final solution from 7 to 10 days - administrative changes regarding study site personnel contact information
