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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy of BDT in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma as measured by the rate of responses (time frame 18 months).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Pregnancies and suspected pregnancies (including a positive pregnancy test regardless of age or disease state) of a female subject or the female partner of a male subject occurring while the subject is on study drug, or within 30 days of the subject’s last dose of study drug, are considered immediately reportable events. Study drug is to be discontinued immediately and the subject instructed to return any unused portion of the study drug to the Investigator(s). Patients will receive prophylactic aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, ASA) (70-100mg) daily unless contraindicated. Patients who are at high risk for a thromboembolic event in whom ASA is contraindicated, the use of low molecular weight heparin or warfarin (or equivalent vitamin K antagonist) to keep the INR in the range of 2-3 may be considered or other anti-thrombotic therapy according to hospital guidelines or physician preference is acceptable. All concomitant treatments for other pathologies except B-NHL as well as supportive therapies other than anti-cancer treatments are permitted as clinically indicated. Prophylaxis against hepatitis B reactivation with Lamivudine 100 mg/die from the start of the treatment to one year after the end of the treatment is recommended in HBcAb positive patients.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Four patients were excluded from the present analyses: two were screening failures, one patient died and another one left the country before treatment was started.
