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   43857   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The STORM-trial consists of two parts. In the part I (dose escalation of Temsirolimus) the primary objective is to establish a maximum tolerated dose of Temsirolimus in combination with Rituximab and DHAP. In the part II (full target dose) the primary objective is to evaluate the ORR in patients with relapsed DLBCL.
    Protection of trial subjects
    In a phase 1, a dose escalation was performed to establish a maximum tolerated dose of Temsirolimus in combination with Rituximab and DHAP. Special attention in Part I and Part II of the study was brought to monitoring of adverse events. Frequency of Adverse events was calculated.
    Background therapy
    All cohorts additionally received: Rituximab (375 mg/m² day 2) Dexamethasone 40 mg day 3-6 Cisplatin 100 mg/m² day 3 (Cisplatin could be replaced in the consecutive cycles by carboplatin AUC 5 if the patient experienced kidney toxicity in the previous cycle, i.e. decrease of creatinine clearance to 60 ml/min or lower.)
    Evidence for comparator
    There was no comparator in this trial.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Eligible patients with histologically proven diagnosis of DLBCL according to the World Health Organization classification and with first or second relapse of DLBCL were screened. After inclusion patients in part I of the trial received 2 to 4 cycles of 25 or 50 mg of Temsirolimus in combination with R-DHAP depending on the cohort were admitted.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    In total, 55 patients were assessed for eligibility. Fifty-three patients were enrolled, 15 patients in part I and 38 in part II of the study. Two patients were excluded from the study: 1 patient was identified as screening failure and another patient withdrew informed consent before start of treatment, respectively.
