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   43841   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7281   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 evaluate the efficacy of oral panobinostat in patients with refractory/relapsed classical HL who have received prior treatment with high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant. Safety of panobinostat will also be assessed. Other markers that may correlate with efficacy or safety will be explored.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    Objective response rate to therapy with oral panobinostat in patients with refractory/relapsed classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) [1]
    End point description
    Objective Response defined by RECIST criteria: Partial response (PR) must have ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions, from the baseline sum. Complete response (CR) must have disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. For CR or PR, tumor measurements must be confirmed by 2nd assessments within 4 weeks . Progression = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions, from the smallest sum of longest diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline; or a new lesion; or progression of non-target lesions. This is a single arm study and as such there were no comparison statistics performed.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    16 Mar 2009
    • Removal of requirement for patients to have prior exposure to gemcitabine, vinblastine, or vinorelbine. • Dosing with panobinostat without regard to food was permitted. • Clarification was provided regarding response assessment in the study, stating that a 4 week post response confirmatory scan was not required. • Clarified that there would be no enrollment hold between stage 1 to 2, in light of additional safety and efficacy data. • All references to the Data Monitoring Committee were changed to Steering Committee to accurately identify the name of the committee and their role in the study since some of the committee members are clinical investigators on the study.
    04 Aug 2009
    • Provided additional guidance on dose modifications: For patients who do not tolerate every week (qw) dosing, dose modification will allow changing the drug administration schedule to an every other week (qow) dosing in addition to decreasing the dose. For patients who have been tolerating reduced doses, dose re-escalation may also be allowable to seek maximal clinical benefit from panobinostat. • Starting dose remained unchanged at 40 mg 3×week, every week to allow for maximum dose intensity upfront to combat tumor burden. • For those patients who become intolerant to this every week dosing schedule, changing to an every other week dosing schedule was permitted. Preliminary data from and ongoing Study E2214 showed that the every other week schedule may be better tolerated and was anticipated to help patients sustain continued exposure and therefore potentially achieve maximal benefit from panobinostat. Dose intensity below 30 mg, 3 x week, every week or 20 mg, 3 x week, every week were not permitted as the plasma concentrations at lower dose intensity may not have maintained the histone acetylation for prolonged period of time and thus could possibly be subtherapeutic.
    22 Aug 2011
    • Provided instructions on continuation of treatment and on necessary safety investigations for ongoing patients. • No further efficacy data captured other than documentation of the date of disease progression as assessed by investigator and death on study, as applicable. Laboratory and other safety assessments reduced to that which is appropriate to adequately monitor and protect patient safety. Patients had their data further summarized and/or listed as applicable in a subsequent extension report once these patients had either completed or discontinued the study. • Section added to provide updated data from Study E2214 interim analysis • Updated the study design, assessments and central review • Indicated completeness of enrollment as of 30-Oct-2009 in section on population • Clarified requirements for ECG monitoring • Updates on study duration and follow up requirements • Updates to reflect current program guidance for co-administration of CYP2D6 substrates • Updates to reflect current program guidance for co-administration of CYP3A4/5 inducers and inhibitors • Updated the pregnancy guidance for panobinostat • Updated the section on supportive analyses
