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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 the overall response rate after BHQ880 treatment in previously untreated patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial. Since there are no specific rescue medications for BHQ880, acute allergic reactions or infusion-related reactions could be treated as clinically indicated using accepted guidelines. This included, in the event of anaphylactic reactions, any and all therapies necessary to restore normal cardiopulmonary status. Prophylactic pre-medication could be added if a patient experienced an infusion reaction and sites could then use their own institutional standard of care.

    Number of Subjects With Overall Response (OR) of Minor Response (MR) or Better After 6 Months of Treatment with BHQ880 [1]
    End point description
    The Overall Response (OR) was defined as MR or better, with better being partial, very good partial, or complete response. Multiple myeloma (MM) response was evaluated by using modified international multiple myeloma working group (IMWG) criteria. This assessment included M-protein quantification and serum free light chain (FLC) assay following administration of BHQ880. Additionally, urine specimens for M-protein quantification and urine immunofixation, serum samples for serum immunofixation, bone marrow biopsy and aspirate, skeletal surveys, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine were also collected. This endpoint analyzed the Full Analysis Set (FAS), defined as all patients who received at least one dose (full or partial) of BHQ880.

    Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were determined for BHQ880 by using non-compartmental methods from the serum concentrations. Blood samples for PK evaluation were drawn pre-infusion and at 2 (±5 minutes), 24 (±1hour), 168 , 336 , 504, and 672 hours post-infusion during Cycles 1 and 4 and pre-infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 3. Blood samples for BHQ880 serum concentration-time profiles were collected from 15 patients for full PK profiling. Sample volume was 5 mL. Parameters are summarized for a single dose (Cycle 1) and after repeated dosing (Cycle 4). This endpoint analyzed the Pharmacokinetic Analysis Set (PAS), defined as all patients in the Full Analysis Set (FAS) who had at least one blood sample providing evaluable PK data from either Cycle 1 or 4. The FAS was defined as all patients who received at least one dose (full or partial) of BHQ880.

    Percent Change From Baseline in Bone Mineral Density After 6 Months of Treatment with BHQ880
    End point description
    Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scans were performed to evaluate bone metabolism and explore the anabolic effect of BHQ880 on bone by measuring bone density. A negative value indicates that bone density has decreased. This endpoint analyzed the FAS, defined as all patients who received at least one dose (full or partial) of BHQ880.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    25 Jan 2012
    This amendment introduced the following important changes: The main purpose of the amendment was to modify the prohibition on concomitant hormone replacement therapy for patients who have been receiving that therapy for at least 6 months. Patients who had been receiving long-term hormone replacement therapy and for whom those effects on bone would be considered stable could be enrolled in the study without having to discontinue that therapy. In addition, the analyses of several serum bone biomarkers which supported a secondary endpoint were removed. The requirement for assessment of vital signs during and after drug infusion was also removed, based on the data and safety profile from Phase I studies. For improved site and patient compliance and protocol execution, time windows around laboratory assessments were added and redundant laboratory testing was removed.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
