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   43872   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7291   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 main objective of this study is to investigate the clinical benefit of treatment with prednisone and everolimus in patients with chronic GVHD.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) regulations/guidelines, the general principles indicated in the Declaration of Helsinki, and all applicable regulatory requirements. Prior to study initiation the study protocol was reviewed and approved by an Independent Ethics Committee (IEC). The study, all study procedures and the risks and benefits were explained to the subjects by responsible investigators and written informed consent were collected prior to any study related examinations.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    This study was conducted at nine sites in Germany. The sites were loated at (university) hospital's departments of stem cell transplantation, internal medicine or hematology. Patient recruitment was performed on sites by trained investigators who provided written and verbal information before obtaining written informed consent.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Written informed consent before any study specific medical procedures, inclusion/exclusion citeria check, laboratory screening assessments, medical history and prior/concomitant medication recording, comprehensive assessment of organ involvement i.e. CGvHD disease status according to NIH criteria. Screening period = 14 days

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: 38 patients were consented and started the study screening, 2 patients were screening failures and did not enter the treatment period. 36 patients were enrolled for treatment.

    Arm description
    In this single-arm study patients were allocated to combination therapy with prednisone and everolimus. After diagnosis of cGvHD patients received prednisone 1 mg/kg BW once daily in the morning (orally or I.V.) and everolimus 0.75 mg twice daily orally (targeted trough level 3-8 μg/l). In patients with abnormal liver function test results, the initial dose of everolimus was 0.25 mg twice daily. Depending on the patients's response (CR or PR) prednisone dose tapering was performed. Dose adjustments of everolimus were performed according to clinical judgement of the local physician. Patients were treated on the protocol for a maximum of 12 months.

    0.25 mg / 0.50 mg / 0.75 mg / 1.00 mg (provided by Novartis Pharma GmbH) Whole tablets or dispersible tablets were admimistered, initial dose was 0,75 mg twice daily. The dose should have been adjusted to a targeted trough serum level of 3-8 μg/l, measured by HPLC or immunoassay four to five days after the previous dose change. Dose adjustment was according to clinical judgement of the local physician depending on co-medication, toxicity and serum levels. In patients with abnormal liver function test results, the initial dose of everolimus was 0.25 mg twice daily. Close monitoring of serum levels at start of treatment and after any dose change was performed for 2 weeks (twice weekly). Increment of daily dose should not have surpassed 0.5 mg within one week.

    Treatment success was defined as: Patient being alive and having achieved a CR or PR of cGvHD without addition of secondary systemic treatment for cGvHD and without development of relapse of underlying disease after 6 months from treatment first intake. Addition of any immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory systemic therapy aimed at treating or controlling symptoms of cGvHD is considered treatment failure.
