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   44344   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7373   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 ).

    Primary: CR rate

    Close Top of page
    End point title
    CR rate
    End point description
    The primary response variable (endpoint) is the CR rate achieved using NCI Criteria and MRD analysis. Twenty-nine out of 52, 55.8%, were MRD-ve CR at EOT (95% CI using Wilson’s method 42.3% to 68.4%). The lower bound of the CI is above 30% indicating that there is evidence that population percentage of patients achieving MRD-ve CR at the end of treatment is > 30% (as hypothesised in the sample size calculations). This result should be interpreted with caution however, since this is an open-label non-randomised study and there exists a risk of potential sources of bias, particularly selection bias. In addition to this, 18 out of 52 patients, 34.6%, were MRD-ve CR at the end of cycle 4 (95% CI using Wilson’s method 23.2% to 48.2%).

    Hypermutation analysis in determining TTF
    End point description
    Creation of a predictive model for TTF and OS using hypermutation analysis .Originally immunophenotype and FISH analyses were also to be used in determining TTF and OS but it was decided that there was no further information to be gleaned from the study for the secondary objectives apart from the analyses using hypermutation analysis. Patients with mutations in SF3B1 and NOTCH1 experienced significantly shorted TTF than their wild types. There was too little data on overall survival in order to be able to calculate the median OS, so there are no results on OS . As well, the median TTF for u-IGHV was 67.9 months but wasn’t sufficient data to estimate the medianfor m-IGHV, but because the median TTF for all patients was 71.1 months, TTF for m-IGHV must be shorter, though the difference is not statistically significance (p=0.310).

    Safety profile of modified FCR
    End point description
    Modified Combination of Fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and rituximab. FCR was modified at cycle 4 or 6 depending on MDR analysis. Patients who were MRD negative and in CR on CT scan stopped therapy after 4 courses of FCR. Patients with evidence of ongoing disease proceeded to a total of 6 courses of chemotherapy and patients with progressive disease came off trial. No difference was noted in TTF in MRD-negative patients following FCR4 or FCR6. Interim MRD assessment assists in personalizing therapy and reducing chemotherapy-associated toxicity.
