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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    2. Attempt to assess the oral bioavailability of forodesine and the level of accumulation after repeated oral and intravenous dosing

    3. Attempt to assess whether twice daily dosing alters the oral bioavailability of forodesine compared with once daily dosing
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    1. Evaluate the safety of six different dose schedules of forodesine in paediatric subjects

    2. Collect preliminary efficacy data on forodesine in children with relapsed or refractory haematological malignancies at six different dose schedules

    3. Collect preliminary data on the penetration and efficacy of forodesine in the
    cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Subjects who are to be included in the study, are those who meet all of the following criteria:
    1. Males and females aged ≥ 2 years to ≤ 18 years

    2. Males and females ≥ 13 kg

    3. Unequivocal histological diagnosis of T-ALL, BCP-ALL or T-NHL (World Health
    Organisation [WHO] classification) at initial diagnosis

    4. T-ALL or T-NHL subjects:
    a. 1st relapse after HSCT, or
    b. ≥2 relapses, or
    c. newly diagnosed subjects who are refractory to 1 standard induction
    chemotherapy regimen, or
    d. 1st relapse subjects who are refractory to 1 standard induction chemotherapy
    regimen

    BCP-ALL subjects:
    a. ≥ 2 relapses, or
    b. newly diagnosed subjects who are refractory to 2 standard induction chemotherapy regimens, or
    c. 1st relapse subjects who are refractory to 2 standard induction chemotherapy
    regimens

    Note: Relapse is defined as ≥ 25% marrow blasts or reappearance of any nodal lesion(s) after documented complete response (CR).

    Two regimens can be defined as either two different treatment regimens or the same
    treatment regimen given to a subject who has relapsed after a durable response to the first treatment. A previous regimen can include a HSCT.

    5. KPS or LPS (as appropriate for subject’s age) scores ≥60

    6. Anticipated life expectancy of at least 6 weeks

    7. Adequate kidney and liver function in the opinion of the Investigator and the Medical Monitor e.g. creatinine levels ≤ 2.0 times upper limit of normal, liver function tests (aspartate aminotransferase [AST] and/or alanine aminotransferase [ALT] ≤ 3 times upper limit of normal and total bilirubin ≤ 5 times upper limit of normal

    8. Female subjects of childbearing potential (i.e. have reached the age of menarche) must have a negative urine pregnancy test recorded prior to the first dose of study medication, be non-lactating, and be willing to use adequate and highly effective method of contraception throughout the study and for one month after the last dose of study medication, if sexually active. A highly effective method of birth control is defined as those which result in a low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly such as sterilisation, implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some IUDs (hormonal), sexual abstinence or vasectomised partner

    9. Sexually active male subjects must be willing and able to use a barrier form of
    contraception (i.e. condoms) or sexual abstinence throughout the study and for one
    month after the last dose of study medication

    10. Signed informed consent form and assent if appropriate according to local laws and regulations prior to start of any study specific procedures
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Subjects who are to be excluded from the study are those who meet any of the following criteria:

    1. Subjects with clinical evidence of active symptomatic CNS disease or isolated CNS
    disease.

    2. Prior treatment with any antileukaemic agent, chemotherapy or leukophoresis treatment within 7 days (within 4–5 days for 6-mercaptopurine [MP] and within 2 days for low-dose methotrexate) prior to study entry. Corticosteroid use will not be excluded.

    3. Concurrent treatment with other anticancer agents (with the exception of CNS therapy, see Section 9.5.9.2 of the protocol).

    4. Subjects with a history of HIV and/or HTLV-1 infection
    Note: HIV and HTLV-1 testing will be performed at the Screening Visit for subjects who have not been tested within 3 months of screening. Results for HIV and HTLV-1 infection do not need to be available prior to initiation of treatment due to the aggressive nature of the disease. Subjects with a positive result will be evaluated on a case by case basis.

    5. Subjects with known active HBV, HCV, CMV and/or EBV infection
    Note: HBV, HCV, CMV and EBV testing will be performed at the Screening Visit for
    subjects who have not been tested within 3 months of screening. Results for HBV, HCV, CMV and EBV do not need to be available prior to initiation of treatment due to the aggressive nature of the disease. Subjects with active disease will be evaluated on a case by case basis.

    6. Subjects with active serious infection.

    7. Females who are pregnant (positive β-hCG test) or lactating.

    8. Lack of full recovery from adverse drug reactions due to prior therapy, independent of when that therapy was given.

    9. Subjects who have chronic gastrointestinal disease or conditions that may hamper
    compliance and/or absorption of the product; however, study drug administration via
    nasogastric or gastrostomy tube is allowed

    10. Any history of hypersensitivity or intolerance to any component of the study medication.

    11. Subjects who have received an investigational medicinal product in a clinical study within 30 days of study entry (defined as the start of the Screening Period). Current participation in another clinical trial is not permitted unless the sole purpose of the trial is for long term follow up/survival data.

    12. Previous enrolment in this clinical study.

    13. Rapidly progressive disease with compromised organ function judged to be life-threatening by the investigator.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary objective of the proposed study is to provide adequate PK/PD data for the development of the intravenous and oral formulation in paediatric use i.e. to determine the optimal dose for a future Phase II/III study and to demonstrate safety of forodesine in paediatric patients.

    Preliminary efficacy data on forodesine in children with relapsed or refractory
    haematological malignancies at six different dose schedules will also be assessed.
