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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the safety and tolerability of NOX-A12 alone (pilot group only) and in combination with BR. To determine the complete remission (CR) rate.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This clinical study was written, conducted and reported in accordance with the protocol, ICH GCP Guidelines, and applicable local regulations, including the European Directive 2001/20/EC, 2005/28/EC, and 2003/63/EC and relevant national and local legislations, and with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki. Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were randomized. Study drug administrations were performed by qualified and trained study personnel. Patient who received treatment were closely followed by means of adverse event reporting and vital signs. In the event of a study related adverse event, patients were monitored to determine the outcome. The clinical course of the AE was followed up according to accepted standards of medical practice, even after the end of the period of observation, until a satisfactory explanation is found or the Investigator considered it medically justifiable to terminate follow-up.

    Pilot group: 1, 2, or 4 mg/kg body weight olaptesed pegol given as single i.v. injections on Day -14. If no DLT occurred, doses given on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle were 1 mg/kg for Cycle 1, 2 mg/kg for Cycle 2 and 4 mg/kg for Cycle 3 and the highest individually titrated doses through cycles 4 to 6. Expansion group: i.v. injections of 1 mg/kg body weight olaptesed pegol for Cycle 1, 2 mg/kg for Cycle 2 and 4 mg/kg for Cycle 3 given on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle and the highest individually titrated doses through cycles 4 - 6. Doses were calculated according to screening body weight. In case body weight changed by more than 10%, the dose was re-calculated. Single-use, preservative-free, sterile solution of olaptesed pegol in an aqueous glucose solution for adjustment of tonicity to physiological levels.

    Complete remission rate [1]
    End point description
    The primary efficacy variable was to determine the complete remission rate according to IWCLL guidelines.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    Six (6) 28-day cycles of treatment
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: It was planned to test for a higher CR than the historical control of 15%, based on published CLL data after treatment with BR alone ranging from 9% (Fischer 2011) to 19% (Waldthaler 2011). Recent data with novel drugs inducing lymphocytosis by mechanisms that interfere with the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis (e.g. ibrutinib, idelalisib) cast doubt whether this is a valid assumption. Results suggest that ORR is a more appropriate end-point regarding the MoA of olaptesed. ORR at the end of treatment was 86%.

    IC8: permissible forms of reliable contraceptive methods are included in the IC, as per ‘Note for guidance on non-clinical safety studies for the conduct of human clinical trials for pharmaceuticals’ (CPMP/ICJ/286/95, amendment) EC5: initial EC5 appears to be in conflict with IC5: "Subject must have measurable disease according to IWCLL criteria (Hallek et al.)." With respect to the WBC, the guideline states: Progr. lymphocytosis with an increase of more than 50% over a 2-mth period or lymphocyte doubling time (LDT) of less than 6 months. LDT can be obtained by lin. reg. extrapolation of abs. lymphocyte counts obtained at intervals of 2 wks over an observation period of 2-3 mths. In pts with initial blood lymphocyte counts of <30,000/μL, LDT should not be used as a single parameter to define a treatment indication. Pts with CLL may present with a markedly elevated leukocyte count; however, the symptoms associated with leukocyte aggregates that develop in pts with acute leukemia rarely occur in pts with CLL. Therefore, the absolute lymphocyte count should not be used as the sole indicator for treatment. In CLL pts, symptoms of leukostasis are rare unless the WBC count exceeds 400,000/μL. This is mainly due to the fact that malignant B cells are much smaller than, for example, malignant cells of the myeloid lineage seen in AML and CML EC15: add. safety measure, pts with concomitant diseases; e.g. heart diseases; will be excluded from the study Add. safety measure: pts with contraindications noted in the rituximab and bendamustine SPCs will be excluded from the study Add. PK/SDF-1 samples to allow assessment of plasma clearance and half-life of NOX-A12 in combination with BR Clarification: ECGs, vitals, samples for PK/SDF-1 & CD34+ & CLL cell analysis are taken 1 h after NOX-A12, and before BR Add. safety measure and clarification: investigators will assess event relationship to NOX-A12, rituximab and bendamustine and will be included in listings and tables
