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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The principal research question of this study is to determine if BaP given to patients with AML and MDS (RAEB2), CLL and BNHL is safe, feasible (i.e. compliance is reasonable) and has anti-cancer activity.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The study will also assess patient quality of life via validated quality of life questionnaire. The study will also register overall survival.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Patients must:
    o have one of the following diagnoses:
    - AML or high risk myelodysplasia (RAEB2 WHO criteria)
    - CLL
    - BNHL
    o be 18 years or older
    o have given written informed consent

    For AML and RAEB-2
    • Haemopoiesis must be impaired by the disease as judged by an abnormal FBC (International Working Group response criteria in myelodysplasia [2]) and, where there is doubt as to the cause of impaired haemopoiesis, there must be bone marrow aspirate evidence that impaired haemopoiesis is due to cancer involvement of the bone marrow.
    • Abnormal values are haemoglobin level less than 11 g/dL or RBC transfusion dependence, platelet count less than 100 x 109/L or platelet-transfusion dependence, absolute neutrophil count less than 1.0x 109/L. Pretreatment baseline measures of cytopenias are averages of at least 2 measurements (not influenced by transfusions, ie, no RBC transfusions for at least 1 week and no platelet transfusions for at least 3 days) over at least 1 week prior to therapy.

    For CLL and BNHL
    • Patients must have either measurable disease (tumour cells in blood at >5 x 109/L, or lymphadenopathy> 1cm) or bone marrow failure due to disease as stated above for MDS/AML.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    • Patient considered suitable for other forms of anti-cancer therapy (either accepted standard therapy or therapy in the context of a clinical trial) other than palliative corticosteroids or hydroxyurea
    • Patient has eGFR<40ml/min
    • Patient known to be allergic to trial drugs
    • Patient has received treatment with any investigational medicinal product within the previous 28 days
    • Patient unable to swallow orally administered medications
    • Patient has uncontrolled seizures
    • Patient has active infection requiring systemic antibiotics, antifungal or antiviral drugs
    • Patient has concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition (e.g. severe COPD, severe Parkinsons’s disease) or psychiatric condition
    • Women of child-bearing potential and men who have partners of child-bearing potential who are not willing to practise effective contraception for the duration of the study and for three months after the last study drug administration
    • Pregnant or lactating women. Pre-menopausal women of child bearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to registration.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    • Safety: The number of grade 3 and 4 Adverse Reactions and Serious Adverse Reactions (SARs) attributable to the trial drugs

    • Patient compliance: Percentage of allocated treatment taken

    • Activity:
    o Haematological Response in the first 18 weeks of treatment
    o Clinical Response in the first 18 weeks of treatment

    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    When patients have been on treatment for 18 weeks.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Quality of Life
    Overall survival will also be registered.
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Quality of life questionnaires completed at baseline will be compared to QoL questionnaires completed between week 7-11 and at week 18.
