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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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
    To assess efficacy (TTP) of maintenance treatment with lenalidomide alone compared to a regimen with lenalidomide and low dose dexamethasone
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subjects were be fully informed of the risks and requirements of the study and, during the study, subjects were given any new information that may affect their decision to continue participation. They were told that their consent to participate in the study is voluntary and may be withdrawn at any time with no reason given and without penalty or loss of benefits to which they would otherwise be entitled. Only subjects who were fully able to understand the risks, benefits, and potential adverse events of the study, and provide their consent voluntarily will be enrolled.
    Background therapy
    In order to achieve a response of best possible quality as soon as possible the combination of lenalidomide and dexamethasone works synergistically to reduce the tumor burden by several mechanisms adding up to a fast tumoricidal effect.
    Evidence for comparator
    The mechanism of action of lenalidomide has a duality of effects: it directly leads to tumour cell death and improves the immune system to keep the tumour in remission (Chanan-Khan 2008). When combined with dexamethasone, lenalidomide therapy provides sustained control of multiple myeloma in relapsed/refractory patients who have received at least one prior therapy (San M 2009). Unlike chemotherapy, lenalidomide stimulates the immune response while also demonstrating tumoricidal activity (ChananKhan 2008, Schütt 2006). Additionally lenalidomide has a well-characterized safety profile, even with longer-term use (San Miguel JF et al. Haematologica. 2009 )
