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   44334   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 compare standard treatment, low-dose Ara-C against the available novel approaches: •Sapacitabine •LD Ara-C combined with AC220 •LD Ara-C combined with vosaroxin •Vosaroxin only During the course of the Programme other novel therapies became available, and were added to the trial design via protocol amendment. •LD Ara-C combined with ganetespib •LD Ara-C combined with Tosedostat •LD Ara-C combined with Selinexor •LD Ara-C combined with Lenalidomide •LD Ara-C combined with BCT100
    Protection of trial subjects
    Addition of novel agents was via protocol amendment, requiring approval from competent authority and ethics committee. Independent scientific review was also conducted on behalf of the Sponsor, prior. Standard processes were in place throughout the trial to capture Serious Adverse Events in line with relevant regulations, and the clinical trial unit SOPs. In this feasibility trial additional pharmacovigilance arrangements were in place - this included communication with investigators on a regular basis to monitor events, beyond the formal data capture via the Patient Record Book. This enhanced pharmacovigilance data did not form part of the formal database, but was in place to allow rapid review of data following introduction of a novel agent.
    Background therapy
    Standard treatment at trial outset was defined as Ara-C 20 mg bd by subcutaneous injection daily on days 1-10 (20 doses) to be repeated at 28 to 42 day intervals. This schedule had been confirmed as standard of care in these patients, following a previous NCRI AML trial, AML14. Most arms of the trial sought to compare this standard of care against a treatment with a novel agent combined with low-dose Ara-C. As such, low-dose Ara-C could be considered to be the background treatment for the trial. In 2 comparisons however, the novel agents were administered as monotherapy - sapacitabine only and vosaroxin only. Patients allocated to these treatment arms did not receive low-dose Ara-C.
    Evidence for comparator
    A substantial majority of patients diagnosed with AML or high risk MDS are elderly and either decline, or are not considered fit for, intensive treatment. Until 2010, there was no established treatment for these patients. As part of the NCRI/LRF AML14 trial, low dose Ara-C (LD Ara-C) was compared with hydroxyurea. The trial was closed early because low dose Ara-C was significantly superior. Although an 18% remission rate was observed, the overall survival was still poor at 5 months. Benefit was limited to patients who achieved remission, which therefore became the major objective against which to assess new treatments in the LI1 trial. Justifications for investigation of the novel treatment options were included in the different versions of the trial protocol.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Recruitment occurred across all sites, with a total of xxx patients enrolled. Recruitment started in the UK on 1st December 2011.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Screening was undertaken prior to enrolment, to ensure subjects met all of the protocol inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. Some arms within the trial had specific criteria associated with them - depending on the availability of options at site, and across the trial, subjects could still enter other arms of the trial.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    In this novel trial design, control patients are used for each arm that is contemporaneously available at the time of entry as outlined in the PubMed link below. Upload of results by arm is therefore not possible within this functionality.
