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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 determine efficacy of the novel induction regimen (combination of lenalidomide, adriamycin, and dexamethasone; RAD) followed by a risk-defined transplant strategy and subsequent lenalidomide maintenance in patients with symptomatic multiple myeloma
    Protection of trial subjects
    Safety monitoring (adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse drug reactions) and continuous assessment of laboratory values (hematology and biochemistry assessments). Subject insurance according to §40 Article 1 No. 8 and Article 3 German Drug Law had been obtained.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    First patient (FPFV) was enrolled on 18th August 2009. Last-patient-last visit (LPLV) took place on 20th April 2016. 215 patients were recruited by 17 clincial sites in Germany. 25 patients did not enter the treatment phase, i.e. 190 received treatment. Data are available for these 190 patients.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    All subjects were screened for eligibility. Screning had to take place within 28 days prior to initiation of therapy.

    Notes
    [1] - Period 1 is not the baseline period. It is expected that period 1 will be the baseline period.
    Justification: Records of all subjects who signed an ICF, i.e. all subjects screened, were kept at the investigational sites. Data were documented in the CRF from the start of the RAD phase only. Complete BL data are therefore available for analysis the FAS/Safety set only.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    28 Jul 2009
    Clarification / modification of AE/SAE reporting requirements. Modification of lenalidomide reduction schedule in maintenance therapy. Modification of additional inclusion criteria for lenalidomide maintenance phase. Reduction of fludarabine dosage in the conditioning regimen. Time points of ATG and calcium folinate administration adapted according to common clinical practice. Mycophenolate mofetil may replace MTX/calcium folinate according to local protocols of participating centers. Additional restaging between the 1st and 2nd cycle of stem cell transplantation. Additional determination of uric acid. Clarification of the required donor HLA-identity for allogeneic SCT: In case no HLAidentical donor (10 out of 10 gene loci) is available, one antigen disparity (class I) and/or one allele disparity (class II) between patient and donor is acceptable. Lenalidomide maintenance treatment starts 8 to 20 weeks after an allogeneic SCT. Permanent discontinuation of lenalidomide maintenance treatment, if patients develop acute GvHD ≥ grade III. Administrative changes.
    19 Oct 2010
    Myocardial infarction, myocarditis, perimyocarditis added as exclusion criteria. Clarification of respective inclusion criterion: If DLCO cannot be determined, pO2 [art.] as a substitute has to be ≥70 mm Hg. No other experimental drugs are allowed during the entire study in addition to being not permitted within 28 days before baseline. Adaption of the time frame for the administration of pegfilgrastim during RAD cycles. Modification of the administration of ciclosporin A during conditioning for allogeneic SCT according to common clinical practice. Maximum permitted delay of three weeks for start of next RAD cycles, if conditions for initiation of a new cycle are not fulfilled. Lenalidomide maintenance therapy must start two weeks after the restaging assessments prior to lenalidomide maintenance therapy. Update of required dose modifications for lenalidomide in relation to creatinine clearance in accordance with updated SmPC for lenalidomide. Separate dose reductions for neutropenia and thrombocytopenia during the RAD cycles. Both interim analyses will be exploratory only.
    19 Jan 2011
    Permitted interruption of lenalidomide maintenance therapy limited to max. 1 month. Monthly assessments of response, urine protein electrophoresis, immunofixation (serum and 24-h-urine specimen), serum immunoglobulins, and serum free light chain assay during lenalidomide maintenance instead of assessments every three months.
    03 May 2011
    Continuous daily administration of 10 mg lenalidomide maintenance therapy only in patients who received tandem autoSCT. Dose reduction for patients who received auto-allo transplantation to 5 mg daily on day 1-21 of a 28-day cycle after a reduced starting dose of 5 mg lenalidomide every other day on day 1-21 of cycle 1. Start of maintenance therapy in patients after auto-alloSCT 10-22 weeks after end of alloSCT instead after 8-20 weeks. Modified additional inclusion and exclusion criteria for lenalidomide maintenance: ▪ Inclusion of patients with neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 109 /L permitted ▪ Exclusion of patients with acute GvHD ≥ grade II or extensive chronic GvHD ▪ Restriction of allowed steroid medication to ≤ 1mg/kg BW methylprednisolone or equivalent, only ciclosporin and MMF permitted as immunosuppressants ▪ At least three-week interval from last taper of ciclosporin and MMF required GvHD needs to be reported as SAE when it occurred after the start of lenalidomide maintenance therapy. Long-term follow up for two years after last administration of lenalidomide maintenance (including explicit follow up with regard to second primary malignancies).
    15 Jul 2011
    Sample size increased from 146 to 190 patients due to drop-out rate of 23 % nonevaluable patients in the first interim analysis. Extension of the recruitment period to 2.5 years.
    07 Nov 2011
    Due to availability of 2.5 mg lenalidomide capsules, the application schedule of lenalidomide maintenance in cycle 1 of lenalidomide maintenance (starting dose) after alloSCT was modified to 2.5 mg daily on day 1-21 of this cycle.
    03 Jun 2013
    Modification of the study protocol according to the updated Pregnancy Prevention Program for lenalidomide. Among others modifications, females of childbearing potential requirement must use two contraceptives measures simultaneously.
