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   43846   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Stage 1: To select adequate (e.g., p-value <0.15 in favor of lenalidomide) subtype(s) for Stage 2. Germinal center B-cell (GCB), non-GCB, both subtypes, or neither subtype will be selected based on the overall response rate (ORR) in the individual subtype to lenalidomide monotherapy versus single agent of Investigator’s choice. Stage 2: To compare the progression free survival (PFS) of lenalidomide monotherapy versus single agent of Investigator’s choice in the subtype(s) selected in Stage 1.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: Some subjects elected to stop treatment early and did not complete the entire study.

    Creatinine Clearance (CrCl)
    Creatinine is a waste product from the normal breakdown of muscle tissue. As creatinine is produced, it's filtered through the kidneys and excreted in urine. Doctors measure the blood creatinine level as a test of kidney function. Participants with a CrCl (as calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula, utilizing actual body weight or ideal body weight, whichever was less) of ≥ 60 mL/min received a starting dose of 25 mg lenalidomide once daily. Participants with moderate renal insufficiency (ie, CrCl ≥ 30 mL/min but < 60 mL/min) received a starting dose of 10 mg lenalidomide once daily.

    Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) Subtypes - Germinal Center B-Cell (GCB) and non-GCB
    DLBCL is comprised of different pathophysiological subtypes that influence patient prognosis and response to treatment. Based on immunohistochemistry (IHC), DLBCL can be classified into germinal center B-cell and non-GCB subtypes. Patients with non-GCB have a worse prognosis compared with the GCB subtype.

    An overall response is a complete response (CR), unconfirmed complete response (CRu) or partial response (PR) and was evaluated by the IRAC. A CR = complete disappearance of disease and related symptoms. Lymph nodes and nodal masses regressed on computed tomography to normal size (≤ 1.5 cm in their greatest transverse diameter for nodes > 1.5 cm prior to therapy and ≤ 1.0 cm in their short axis for nodes 1.1-1.5 cm in their long axis and > 1.0 cm in their short axis prior to therapy). Spleen and/or liver not palpable on exam, normal size by imaging, and absence of nodules related to lymphoma. If bone marrow was involved prior to therapy, infiltrate must have cleared on repeat biopsy. PR = ≥ 50% decrease in sum of the product of the diameters (SPD) of up to 6 of the largest dominant nodes or nodal masses. No increase in other nodes, liver, or spleen. Splenic and hepatic nodules regressed by ≥ 50% in their SPD or for single nodules, in the greatest transverse diameter;no new disease.

    Response was defined as participants with a CR, CR or PR, based on IWG 1999 Response Criteria for NHL as evaluated by the investigators. CR is a complete disappearance of all disease with the exception of nodes. No new lesions. Previously enlarged organs must have regressed and not be palpable. Bone marrow must be negative if positive at baseline. Normalization of markers. CRu does not qualify for CR above, due to a residual nodal mass or an indeterminate BM. PR is a 50% decrease in the sum of the products of diameters for up to 6 dominant lesions, including spleenic and hepatic nodules from baseline. No new lesions and no increase in the size of liver, spleen or other nodes. The mITT population = randomized subjects who had a DLBCL diagnosis and either germinal center B-cell subtype or non-GCB subtype confirmed by central pathology, and who received at least one dose of study drug.

    Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent Events (TEAEs) in the Overall Treatment Phase by Initial Treatment Assignment
    End point description
    A TEAE = an AE that begins or worsens in intensity of frequency on or after the first dose of study drug through 28 days after the last dose. A serious AE = an AE which results in death;is life-threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; constitutes an important medical event. The investigator determined the relationship of an AE to study drug based on the timing of the AE relative to drug delivery and whether or not other drugs, interventions, or underlying conditions could provide a sufficient explanation for the event. The severity of an AE was evaluated according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for AE (NCI CTCAE) Version 3.0 where Grade 1 = Mild, Grade 2 = Moderate, Grade 3 = Severe, Grade 4 = Life-threatening and Grade 5 = Death. Safety population = all subjects who received at least one dose of either regimen

    Response was defined as participants with a complete response (CR), unconfirmed complete response (CRu) or partial response (PR), based on IWG 1999 Response Criteria for NHL as evaluated by the IRAC. CR is a complete disappearance of all disease with the exception of nodes. No new lesions. Previously enlarged organs must have regressed and not be palpable. Bone marrow must be negative if positive at baseline. Normalization of markers. CRu does not qualify for CR above, due to a residual nodal mass or an indeterminate BM. PR is a 50% decrease in the sum of the products of diameters for up to 6 dominant lesions, including spleenic and hepatic nodules from baseline. No new lesions and no increase in the size of liver, spleen or other nodes

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    17 Sep 2010
    1. A formal interim analysis was implemented for Stage 1. This change was made based on a recommendation from an IRB at a US site. 2. Eligibility according to specific WHO subcategories for DLBCL was implemented. 3. Subjects in whom combination chemotherapy was considered appropriate were excluded from the study. 4. Baseline HBV testing was required for eligibility and definitions for HBV positive were added. This change was made based on recommendations from several European investigators. 5. Exceptions to laboratory requirements for eligibility (ie, ANC < 1,500 cells/mm3 and platelet counts < 50,000/mm3) were allowed, if they were secondary to bone marrow involvement by lymphoma (as demonstrated by recent bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy). 6. To be eligible, subjects who received SCT within 28 days of D1 dosing had to recover from all acute toxicity and be transfusion independent. 7. The toxicity recovery time before lenalidomide start for crossover subjects was extended from eight weeks to 12 weeks. 8. New starting doses and schedules for etoposide and gemcitabine were implemented. This change was made to accommodate investigator requests to follow common clinical practice, and to allow a lower starting dose schedule for subjects who could not tolerate a high starting dose schedule. 9. Instructions for lenalidomide dose modification in case of TFR and TLS were implemented. This change was made for enhanced guidance on subject management and safety. 10. Venous thromboembolic event prophylaxis was recommended instead of required. This change was made based on a recommendation from an EU competent Health Authority. 11. For safety assessments, NCI CTCAE Version 4.03 grading was used (instead of Version 4.0); it was also noted that NCI CTCAE Version 3.0 was used solely for TFR grading. 12. A global pregnancy prevention plan replaced two regional plans.

    1. The period for submission of the archival lymph node biopsy to central pathology was extended for subjects who needed urgent treatment upon medical monitor approval. If locally determined subtype data were available, that information was used to stratify the subject. However, a retrospective central pathology subtype designation was the basis for analysis in the mITT Population. This change was made based on investigator feedback and as an attempt to eliminate treatment delays. 2. The Screening requirement of CT/MRI scans could be fulfilled by CT/MRI scans acquired as SOC up to 28 days prior to C1 D1, as long as all required fields were images and they fulfilled the standard specified by central radiology. This change was made based on investigators feedback and as an attempt to eliminate treatment delays. 3. A CT/MRI scan was required in the Control Arm who desired to cross over to lenalidomide, even if they had clinical progression alone. The scan had to be forwarded to central radiology; however, local radiology approval was sufficient for determining PD and allowing crossover. Upon request, subtype could be unblinded for these subjects. This change was made to reduce bias and ensure that control drugs were given an adequate trial before switching treatment arms. 4. Local laboratory results could be used for eligibility as long as a concurrent central laboratory samples were drawn. This change was made based on investigator feedback and as an attempt to eliminate treatment delays. 5. Second primary malignancies were required to be treated as SAEs and reported for the study duration from ICF through follow-up for OS. 6. Subjects who exited the Treatment Phase for reasons other than PD were followed to the date of progression. This change was made to improve data collection for PFS endpoint. 7. Systemic corticosteroid doses above 10 mg/day (prednisone or equivalent) for up to 24 h after each dose of IV chemotherapy were allowed for antiemetic prophylaxis.

    1. The exclusionary time period for prior malignancies was extended from ≥ 3 to ≥ 5 years. Follow-up time for SPM during the study was extended. This change was implemented because Health Authorities in France and Austria had requested that Celgene further restrict the exclusion criteria for previous malignancies. 2. Lenalidomide dose modification could be made, as per investigator’s discretion, for reasons other than those previously listed (Table 4). This change allowed the investigators to be more conservative with dosing. 3. A window (ie, ± 3 days) was added to visits on C1 D8 and C1 D15 in the Core Treatment Phase and during the Crossover Phase. 4. Treatment Discontinuation laboratory tests and physical examination performed during the Core Treatment Phase were allowed to fulfill the crossover C1 D1 assessments if they had been collected within seven days of the first dose of lenalidomide in the Crossover Phase. The reason was to avoid unnecessary subject blood draws and examinations and to apply the same standard previously set for Screening and C1 D1 laboratory tests and physical examinations.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    On 29 January 2013 the Stage 1 portion of the study was met and enrollment stopped. The Stage 1 results as assessed by the IRAC demonstrated that neither subtype met the prespecified requirement to be further studied in Stage 2.
