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   44173   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7329   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 clinical efficacy (disease response) of pomalidomide in MF patients based on the consensus criteria of the International Working Group for Myelofibrosis Research and Treatment (IWG-MRT), extended by the criterion RBC-transfusion independence (TI)
    Protection of trial subjects
    In this study, safety was assessed by evaluating the following: reported adverse events, clinical laboratory test results, vital signs measurements, ECG findings, chest X-ray, sonographic assessment of the Spleen, physical examination findings, monitoring of concomitant therapy. For each safety parameter, all findings (whether normal or abnormal) were recorded in the CRF.

    Arm description
    		 Treatment started with a Phase of pomalidomide with 2 mg per day. Individual dose reduction as outlined in the safety section was allowed. If no Response was achieved after 3 months, prednisolone was added in a starting dose of 30 mg per day. In the Absence of progressive disease, at least 6 months of Treatment with pomalidomide was intended. In patietns without disease Progression after 6 months and those with Response to Treatment were intended to receive pomalidomide for at least 12 months.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: 103 patients were registered into the study. Cohort1: 3 patients were not eligible and did not enter the Treatment Phase. Cohort2: 3 Patient were not eligible and 1 patient withdrew his consent and did not enter the Treatment Phase. This was before the randomization to "Cohort2: 3-month prednisolone" and "Cohort2: 6-month prednisolone" happened.

    Cohort 1
    Reporting group description
    		 Treatment started with a Phase of pomalidomide with 2 mg per day. Individual dose reduction as outlined in the safety section was allowed. If no Response was achieved after 3 months, prednisolone was added in a starting dose of 30 mg per day. In the Absence of progressive disease, at least 6 months of Treatment with pomalidomide was intended. In patietns without disease Progression after 6 months and those with Response to Treatment were intended to receive pomalidomide for at least 12 months.

    Reporting group title
    Cohort 2: 3-month prednisolone
    Reporting group description
    		 Treatment for all patients starts with pomalidomide as single Agent at a dose of 0.5 mg/day. The Addition of prednisolone will be initiated as randomized at start of cycle 4 (starting dose 30 mg/day). In the Absence of progressive disease, at least 12 cycles of Treatment with pomalidomide are intended.

    Cohort 2: 6-month prednisolone
    Reporting group description
    		 Treatment for all patients starts with pomalidomide as single Agent at a dose of 0.5 mg/day. The Addition of prednisolone will be initiated as randomized at start of cycle 7 (starting dose 30 mg/day). In the Absence of progressive disease, at least 12 cycles of Treatment with pomalidomide are intended

    Notes
    [1] - The superiority was supported by the results of a logistic regression model, which revealed that a higher dose of pomaldomide of 2.0 mg/day instead of 0.5 mg/day as significantly associated with a higher Response rate (OR, 2.62; 95% CI, 1.00 - 6.87).
