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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 evaluate the efficacy of pomalidomide (CC-4047) monotherapy in subjects with refractory or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who discontinued from Treatment Arm B (dexamethasone alone) of Study CC-4047-MM-003 due to the development of documented disease progression during treatment. Upon discontinuing this study, participants will be followed in the long term follow-up phase of CC-4047-MM-003 study.

    End point description
    An AE is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen in a participant during the course of a study. A serious AE is any AE occurring at any dose that: • Results in death; • Is life-threatening; • Requires or prolongs existing inpatient hospitalization; • Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; • Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; • Constitutes an important medical event. The Investigator assessed the relationship of each AE to study drug and graded the severity according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, Version 4.0): Grade 1 = Mild (no limitation in activity or intervention required); Grade 2 = Moderate (some limitation in activity; no/minimal medical intervention required); Grade 3 = Severe (marked limitation in activity); medical intervention needed, hospitalization possible); Grade 4 = Life-threatening; Grade 5 = Death

    Progression-free survival was calculated as the time from randomization to disease progression as determined by the Investigator based on the International Myeloma Working Group Uniform Response criteria (IMWG), or death on study, whichever occurred earlier. Progressive disease requires 1 of the following: • Increase of ≥ 25% from nadir in: o Serum M-component (absolute increase ≥ 0.5 g/dl) o Urine M-component (absolute increase ≥ 200 mg/24 hours) o In patients without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels the difference between involved and uninvolved free light chain (FLC) levels (absolute increase > 100 mg/dl) o Bone marrow plasma cell percentage (absolute % ≥ 10%) • Development of new or increase in the size of existing bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas Intent to Treat included all participants enrolled

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    13 Jun 2011
    The global amendment consisted of the following: 1. Required that Secondary Primary Malignancy (SPMs) be treated as SAEs and reported throughout the study duration, including long-term follow-up. 2. Lowered the eligibility requirement for measurable level of serum M-protein from 1.0 g/dL to 0.5 g/dL, since this patient population was heavily pre-treated. 3. Updated exclusion criterion for serum total bilirubin to allow for higher level at study entry for subjects with hereditary enzymatic disorders such as Gilbert syndrome, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, etc., who had a mild increase in total bilirubin primarily due to increase of indirect bilirubin. 4. For exclusion criterion related to hypersensitivity to thalidomide or lenalidomide, specified that ≥ Grade 3 rash during prior thalidomide or lenalidomide treatment was considered hypersensitivity. 5. Eligibility for subjects with prior allogeneic bone marrow or allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant was revised so that subjects could enter the study if at least 12 months had elapsed since their transplant or if they were not receiving concomitant immunosuppressive medications related to the transplant at the time of study entry. 6. Clarified pomalidomide dose modification instructions for neutropenia and thrombocytopenia.
    04 Nov 2011
    The global amendment consisted of the following changes: 1. Required that subjects with a prior history of malignancies, other than MM, be free of the disease for ≥ 5 years rather than ≥ 3 years. 2. Updated inclusion criterion to allow subjects to become eligible for the companion study after starting the second cycle of High-Dose dexamethasone (HD-dex) in the core Study CC-4047-MM-003, rather than completing the second cycle of HD-dex. 3. Updated screening requirements to reflect that, in addition to the use of growth factors, the use of platelet and/or RBC transfusions were allowed throughout the study, including the screening period, at the discretion of the investigator. However, subjects who failed screening as a result of neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, or anemia were not permitted to use growth factors, platelet or RBC transfusions to become eligible. 4. Updated to reflect that subjects who had a creatinine clearance less than 45 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault method at screening and/or Cycle 1 Day 1, an evaluation of creatinine clearance would be performed using the 24-hour urine sample from the urine M-protein collection. The Cockcroft-Gault method was used for the remainder of the study. 5. Subjects were no longer required to have 14-day wash-out of steroids for entry into the study. 6. Updated exclusion criterion # 9 to reflect that subjects who had not discontinued immunosuppressive treatment for at least 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment (rather than 12 months) and were currently dependent on such treatment would not be eligible for the study. 7. Updated the dose modification instructions for hematologic toxicities based on CTCAE version 4.0 for febrile neutropenia: ANC < 1,000/μL with a single temperature of > 38.3°C or a sustained temperature of ≥ 38°C for more than 1 hour.
    12 Dec 2012
    The global amendment consisted of the following: 1. Clarified that Low-dose dexamethasone (LD-dex) was a permitted concomitant medication. 2. Revised the language explaining abstinence as a method of contraception to ensure consistency across all Immunomodulatory (IMiD) studies.
