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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 assess the overall response rate (CR+PR as per IWG 2006) at 6 months in MDS patients, CMML-2 patients, and AML patients with up to 30% bone marrow blasts (previously classified as RAEB-t by the FAB MDS classification), treated with low-dose decitabine who have previously failed therapy with 5-azacitidine.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients are free to withdraw consent for study treatment and/or consent to participate in the study at any time and without the prejudice to further treatment. Patients who withdraw from study treatment, but are willing to continue to participate in the follow-up visits should be followed according to the procedures outlined in the protocol.

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    14 Dec 2010
    Secondary objective changed to look at grade 3 and 4 treatment related toxicity only. Assessment for: Survival, Relapse, Subsequent treatment removed from end of treatment visit. Text added to clarify that grade 1 and 2 haematological and organ toxicities do not need to be recorded. Information on BSA capping included. Text changed so that decitabine will only be delayed due to myelosuppression after 3 cycles of treatment. Text added to define women of child bearing potential.
    09 May 2011
    hanges to the protocol are as follows: 1) Demographics will be recorded at the screening visit. 2) ECOG performance score will be assessed at the end of treatment visit. 3) A bone marrow sample will be performed and exploratory samples taken at the end (day 21+) of the 3rd and 6th cycle instead of after day 28. 4) Patients will be recommenced on a lower dose of decitabine following a dose delay of at least 14 days. 5) All concomitant medications will be recorded from day 1 until the end of treatment visit. 6) Other administrative changes In addition, Nottingham and Cardiff added as sites.
    18 Jul 2011
    Protocol changed to allow dose delays due to scheduling issues. Clarification that patients are only excluded if they have received prior intensive chemotherapy or high-dose cytarabine for the treatment of MDS or AML. Non-Substantial amendments 3 & 4 have been incorporated into documentation
    17 Oct 2011
    Protocol updated to protocol v6.0 Changes in patient eligibility criteria. Changes in labelling and labelling site.
    20 Dec 2011
    Protocol updated to protocol v7.0, the following sections have been updated with new information from IB Edition 5 • Recognised Adverse Drug Reactions section • Cardiovascular/Pulmonary Section • CNS Effects • Concomitant Medication New edition of Investigator Brochure (Edition 5, 17-Aug-11)

    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.
    At the interim analysis, a review of the current subjects recruited up to that point took place, as was the rate of recruitment. Based on this primary information it was decided by the TSC to close the study.
