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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    Protection of trial subjects
    The conduct, documentation and evaluation of this study was compliant to Good Clinical Practice and under the guiding principles detailed in the Declaration of Helsinki. The study was also be carried out in keeping with applicable local law(s) and regulation(s) as well as GDPR. All adverse clinical experiences observed by the investigator and reported by the patient were recorded with details about duration and intensity of each episode as well as action taken related to the study drug and its outcome. The investigator had to evaluate each adverse experience for its relationship to the study drug and for its seriousness. Moreover, during and after each cycle the observed toxicity of treatment was considered for continuation of therapy and indicated dose modifications had to be performed. Furthermore, the investigator had to assess all abnormal laboratory results for their clinical significance. If any abnormal laboratory result considered clinically significant, the investigator had to provided details about the action taken in relation to the study drug and the outcome.

    Arm title
    Arm A1
    Arm description
    In patients in treatment arm A1 the therapy with lenalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone (Rd) were continued when stem cell mobilization and harvest of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) was finished, usually 3-4 weeks after the start of stem cell mobilization therapy. The study treatment with lenalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone was given until progression and stopped when progression was documented or when intolerable side effects occurred. Patients in arm A1 treated with autologous stem cell transplantation only in case of relapse or progression.

    Arm title
    Arm A2
    Arm description
    Patients in arm A2 received a tandem high-dose melphalan (140 mg/m²) with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) after stem cell mobilization and PBSC. Accordingly, patients who had a sufficient stem cell transplant got the first melphalan (140 mg/m²) within 2-4 weeks after stem cell harvest. The second melphalan (140 mg/m²) was scheduled two months after the first melphalan (140 mg/m²). In treatment arm A2 lenalidomide (10 mg/day) maintenance was applied and started within 2-3 months from the second PBSCT for patients without signs of progression who had an adequate reconstitution of hematopoiesis post–transplant.

    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its lockdown and restrictions the planned monitoring activities could not be entirely performed. Therefore, no or limited source data verification (SDV) for endpoints at the sites were possible. Obligatory established hygienical concepts also resulted to significant delays in collecting remaining data. This led to the fact that the data for the final analysis were not available at the scheduled time.
