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 ).

    YM155 plus rituximab
    Arm description
    Participants were administered YM155 and rituximab during 14-day cycles. Rituximab (375 mg/m^2) was administered weekly on days 1 and 8 during cycles 1 to 4, repeated every 10 cycles (i.e., cycles 11-14, 21-24, etc.). YM155 (5 mg/m^2 per day intravenously (IV)) was administered by continuous infusion for 168 hours via a central line, port or peripherally-inserted central catheter (PICC) from days 1 to 8 of each cycle.

    Participants were administered YM155 during 14-day cycles. YM155 (5 mg/m^2 per day IV) was administered by continuous infusion for 168 hours via a central line, port or PICC from days 1 to 8 of each cycle. During cycles in which both YM155 and rituximab were administered, the YM155 infusion on day 1 was to be initiated within 1 hour following completion of the rituximab infusion. Each dose of YM155 was based upon body surface area (BSA), calculated using actual weight for participants with body mass index (BMI) < 30 kg/m^2 and adjusted (vs. actual) body weight for participants with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m^2. If a participant gained weight leading to a BMI increase from < 30 to ≥ 30 kg/m^2, then BSA was recalculated based upon the new, adjusted weight to determine if the YM155 dose should be increased. If the YM155 dose actually decreased (compared to original dose) when using the adjusted BSA, then the original dose of YM155 should have been utilized.

On day 8, the rituximab infusion could have been initiated during, but no later than 1 hour following the completion of, the YM155 infusion. If the rituximab infusion was initiated prior to the end of the YM155 infusion, a separate peripheral line in a different anatomical location must have been used.

Analysis population consisted of the PPS. Stable disease (SD) defined per IWG criteria (2007) as the following: A subject is considered to have SD when he or she fails to attain the criteria needed for a CR or PR, but does not fulfill those for progressive disease. Typically fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG)-avid lymphomas: the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) should be positive at prior sites of disease with no new areas of involvement on the post-treatment Computed Tomography (CT) or PET. Variably FDG-avid lymphomas/FDG-avidity unknown: for subjects without a pretreatment PET scan or if the pretreatment PET was negative, there must be no change in the size of the previous lesions on the post-treatment CT scan.

    Analysis population consisted of the Safety Analysis Set (SAF) population. The SAF was defined as all patients who received at least 1 dose of study regimen (rituximab or YM155). An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered a study drug or study regimen and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a study drug or study regimen, whether or not related to the study drug or study regimen. Treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was defined as an AE starting after first administration of the study drug up to the End of Treatment Visit (ETV).
