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   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    This was a multinational, multicentre, randomized, open-label, parallel-arm Phase 3 study to compare the efficacy and safety of bosutinib alone to that of imatinib alone in subjects with newly diagnosed chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in compliance with the ethical principles originating in or derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all International Conference on Harmonisation Clinical Practice. In addition, all local regulatory requirements were followed, in particular, those affording greater protection to the safety of trial participants. The final protocol and any amendments were reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board(s)/or Independent Ethics Committee(s) each of the investigational centres participating in the study.

    Cytogenetic Response (CyR) is based on the prevalence of Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) metaphases among cells in metaphase on a bone marrow (BM) aspirate. CCyR was achieved when there was 0 percent (%) Ph+ metaphases among cells in a BM sample when at least 20 metaphases from a BM sample were analyzed, or less than (<) 1% breakpoint cluster region Abelson protooncogene (Bcr-Abl) fusion product among cells in a BM sample or peripheral blood sample when at least 200 cells were analyzed.

    End point title
    Cumulative Incidence of On-Treatment Transformation to Accelerated Phase (AP) or Blast Phase (BP) at 192 Weeks
    End point description
    Time to transformation to AP/BP was defined as the time from randomization to the first date of transformation to AP or BP while on study treatment adjusting for the competing risk of treatment discontinuation without transformation. Criteria for transformation to AP: 15 to 29% blasts; ≥30% blasts + promyelocytes; ≥20% basophils in blood or bone marrow; platelets <100*10^9/L (not related to therapy), in blood. Criteria for transformation to BP: ≥30% blasts in blood or bone marrow and extramedullary involvement other than liver or spleen (example: chloromas). Time to transformation was calculated as weeks = ([date of first documented occurrence of the event - date of randomization] + 1)/7. If transformation was not obtained, censoring was at the last hematologic assessment or death (whichever was earliest). Participants who were not treated contributed time=1 day/7. 95% confidence interval for the cumulative incidence is from Gray’s method.

    Notes
    [8] - The hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) is obtained from a Cox model for cause-specific hazard as a function of the covariate treatment (bosutinib compared with imatinib) with stratification by region and Sokal risk group at randomization.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Adverse events (AEs) were recorded from first dose of study treatment through last subject visit. Serious adverse events (SAE) were recorded from informed consent through and including 28 calendar days after last administration of study treatment.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    The same event may appear as both an AE and SAE. However, what is presented are distinct events. An event may be categorized as serious in one subject and as nonserious in another subject, or one subject may have experienced both a serious and nonserious event during the study.
