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   43845   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this dose-finding study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of lenalidomide in combination with fludarabine/rituximab therapy.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Safety assessments were done regularly. Premedication prior to each infusion of rituximab and prophylactic anti-thrombotic therapy during study therapy was given. The study was designed to have a reduced dose fludarabine/rituximab debulking step and slow dose escalation for lenalidomide in order to minimize the risk of tumor lysis syndrome.
    Background therapy
    In this study lenalidomide was combined with a backbone of FR (taken from the FCR regimen) for an initial 6 months treatment and dose-finding phase and followed by a 6 month course of lenalidomide in combination with rituximab maintenance.
    Evidence for comparator
    Lenalidomide has been shown to be synergistic with rituximab in vitro, thus arguing for trials of a combination therapy. In mantle cell lymphoma a phase I/II trial combining lenalidomide with rituximab has shown promising results.

In case of limiting toxicity (serious infection or limiting grade 3 to 4 toxicity other than neutropenia) treatment should be continued at last tolerated dose (1 dose level below).
