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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The objective of the T-PLL2-study is to assess remission rate, number of serious adverse events, number of life-threatening infections of simultaneous FMC-Alemtuzumab administration followed by Alemtuzumab-maintenance therapy in patients with T-PLL.
    Protection of trial subjects
    I. Premedication Patients should be treated with - Antihistamine (e.g. Diphenhydramine/Tavegil® 2mg i.v.) - Paracetamol/Acetaminophen (1000mg p.o.) - Prednisolone (e.g. Solu-Decortin® 100mg i.v.) 30 minutes before the administration of Alemtuzumab during the first cycle and on the first day of the subsequent cycles of A-FMC and Alemtuzumab-maintenance treatment, plus in cases this premedication is clinically indicated (e.g., when there are adverse effects due to an infusion). If a patient did not show any adverse effects, the premedication could be omitted on day 2 and 3 of each cycle. Any patient considered being at risk of an infusion related reaction and/or tumour lysis syndrome (pts. with a lymphocytosis > 100,000/l) should have received appropriate hydration, urine alkalisation with intravenous bicarbonate and allopurinol before the beginning of treatment and thereafter until the risk is ruled out. II. Infection prevention Patients should have received - Trimethoprim / Sulfamethoxazole (e.g. two tablets Cotrim forte® three times a week) - Valgancyclovir (. 2x 450mg p.o./day) or equivalent medications from the beginning until 4 months after the end of the treatment. Prophylactic antifungal medication, e.g., with 100 mg Fluco-nazole, and use of growth factors like G-CSF and Erythropo-etin could be administered according to institutional standards. No live vaccines should have been administered during the treatment; responses to inactivated, recombinant and cell wall-vaccines were unreliable and suboptimal in these patients.
    Background therapy
    As the median survival time of patients with T-PLL is less than 12 months, the treatment of T-PLL is a special challenge. The overall response rates with conventional chemotherapy or Deoxycoformycin were low (about 30% and 40%), with the monoclonal antibody Alemtuzumab response rates of 50% to 70% were achieved, but the duration of the response was short. In the previous trial (T-PLL 1), the efficacy of the FMC regi-men (FMC = Fludarabine, Mitoxantrone and Cyclophos-phamide) was tested, a preliminary analysis of 16 patients revealed a response rate of more than 60% after FMC-poly-chemotherapy and 83% after the subsequent administration of Alemtuzumab. The goal of the T-PLL2-protocol is to assess if the simulta-neous administration of FMC-polychemotherapy and -Alem-tuzumab with a subsequent Alemtuzumab-maintenance the-rapy is capable of improving the remission rate and the disease-free survival time in patients with T-PLL.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    It was planned to enroll 16 patients. In total 18 patients were enrolled between 06/2010 and 05/2014

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    20 T-PLL patients were registered for the trial. The central screening was performed by the GCLLSG central study office in Cologne, Germany and included immunophenotyping, anaylsis of TCL1 signaling and cytogenetic analysis. Of those 20 patients, 2 patient were assessed as screening failure, 18 patients were enrolled.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: All patients who meet the eligibility criteria for the study entry can be enrolled into the trial. To verify the eligibility of patients, a patient screening by a medical review of the pretherapeutic staging as well as a central immunophenotyping, analysis of the TCL1 signaling and the cytogenetics will be performed before randomization. 20 patients started pre-assignment period, 2 patient were assessed as screening failure, 18 patients were enrolled.

    Overall response rate was analysed within the final analysis in 2014 (data cut-off was 03.09.2014) . This analysis was not repeated for the final clinical study.
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: As the hypothesis states that the efficacy of the TPLL2 regimen is assessed uninteresting if the ORR rate is less than 50% and is confirmed if the ORR is at least 50% and as there are no further comparisons between different treatment arms, a frequency tabulation with no further statistical analyses was sufficient. So there are no statistical values available to provide.
