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

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the safety and tolerability of Azacitidine in patients following reduced intensity conditioned allogeneic transplantation for AML.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Specific dose modifications were recommended to decrease the incidence and relieve the symptoms of: Grade 3 and 4 haematological toxicities Grade 3/ and 4 non-haematological toxicities The following rules were put in place: If 3 out of the first 5 patients experience Grade 4 haematological toxicities which are deemed related to Azacitidine then Azacitidine will be reduced to a dose of 24mg/m2 for all subsequent patients. The trial will be stopped if 4 patients experience sustained Grade 4 haematological toxicities of more than 42 days or more than 4 recurring grade 3-4 non haematological toxicities deemed related to Azacitidine. The trial will be stopped if more than 4 patients develop unexpected recurring non- haematological Grade 3-4 toxicities deemed related to Azacitidine

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Patients were recruited form 8 UK sites between 24-Jul-2008 and 05-Oct-2011.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Screening commenced following consent and prior to patient registration in order to confirm eligibility. All patients had a full medical, disease and drug therapy history, pre-transplant bone marrow. Patients who were unfit to receive Azacitadine following transplant did not begin trial treatment and so, did not reach the baseline period.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: The protocol defines evaluable patients as those who commenced at least 1 cycle of Azacitidine. Not all of the patients that were registered to the trial started Azacitadine treatment, so only those that did are included in the baseline period.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    30 Jun 2008
    An inclusion criterion was amended to remove an upper age limit for patient entry to the study. • The timeframe for patients to consent to the trial was extended • The contact details of staff managing the trial was amended • The patient information sheet (PIS) was amended to show the different time frame for consenting to the trial. • Addition of two new participating sites
    17 Oct 2008
    The PIS was amended to clarify that patients may have anonymised data sent to Celgene Corporation (who manufacture and supply the IMP) as part of their ongoing monitoring of the safety and activity of their agent. A revised consent form was sent to the Ethics board on 23rd Feb 2009 as the reference to the patient information sheet was incorrect.
    12 Apr 2009
    • Addition of a participating site • Inclusion criteria amended to allow inclusion of patients who undergo reduced intensity conditioned transplantation using an alternative chemotherapy (FLAMSA) regimen • Patients who have not recovered sufficiently after transplant to receive azacitidine (the IMP) by 6 months to be withdrawn from the trial. • Protocol amended to allow patients who have active non-life-threatening infection can receive azacitidine provided the blood counts are stable and meet the entry criteria for commencing azacitidine
    30 Apr 2009
    Myelodysplasia (MDS) patients were removed from the eligibility criteria • Blood samples required for immune studies were reduced • Criteria to assess renal function were also added.
    04 Nov 2009
    Change of Principal Investigator at Christie Hospital Foundation NHS Trust, Manchester
    11 Jan 2011
    • Planned recruitment was clarified to include 40 evaluable patients which was defined as patients commencing with least 1 cycle of azacitidine • Single allele mismatches defined to include RICAZA_Final_Clinical_Study_Report Version 1.0_29-May-2015 HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DRB1 • Addition of wording: No dose interruptions will be performed for grades 1 and 2 nonheamtological toxicities • Further guidance given on dose modifications for grade 3 haematological toxcities • Storage conditions for azacitidine amended • Serious Adverse Event (SAE) definition updated • Wording added to reflect that SAE and Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction (SUSAR) information will be sent to Celgene
    14 Mar 2011
    • IMP label updated with new storage conditions • PIS was updated so that patients were aware what patient related data is accessible to 3rd parties and what type of information is passed on. • Addition of a Release of Medical Information Form and Consent Form to be used in relation to pregnancy notifications during the trial
    21 Jun 2011
    Amendment submitted to request the use of commercial stock of azacitidine for one dose to be given to a trial patient
    21 Dec 2011
    Addition of a participating site
