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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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
    Tolerability of escalated starting dose The first 5 patients will start with dose level 5 mg Lenalidomide and further escalating dose. After the fifth patient is included in the study, enrolment will be interrupted until this patient has finished his first treatment cycle. A safety board will evaluate the toxicities of the first 5 patients. If there are more than 2 patients experiencing a DLT in the first treatment cycle, the starting dose will not be escalated and further 5 patients will be enrolled with a starting dose of 5 mg Lenalidomide. If only 2 or less patients experience a DLT in the first treatment cycle, the next 5 patients will start the treatment with 10 mg Lenalidomide. If more than 4 DLTs occur in the first treatment cycle of the first 5 patients the trial will be stopped.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Safety assessments were done on cycle 1 day 1, 5 and 10 and day 1 of every further cycle (cycles 2 – 6). Premedication prior to each infusion of Rituximab and prophylactic anti-thrombotic therapy during study therapy was given. The study was designed to have a reduced dose Fludarabine/Rituximab debulking step and slow dose escalation for Lenalidomide in order to minimize the risk of tumor lysis syndrome. The patients were counselled before each cycle of Lenalidomide e.g. about pregnancy precautions and the potential risks of fetal exposure to Lenalidomide.
    Background therapy
    Fludarabine 25 mg/m² iv d1-3 or 40 mg/m² po d1-3; repeat every 28 days Rituximab 375 mg/m² iv day 4 on cycle 1; 500 mg/m² iv day 1 on cycles 2 – 6; repeat every 28 days

    DLT is defined as: Occurrence of any grade III/IV non hematologic toxicity, except the following: grade III nausea or grade III vomiting, grade III diarrhea, fatigue, alopecia, grade III dehydration, grade III acidosis or alkalosis, grade III hypercholeresterolemia, grade III hypertriglyceridemia, occurrence of isolated grade III elevation of liver function tests (LFTs) without associated clinical symptoms lasting for ≤ 5 days in duration, isolated grade III elevation of Amylase, grade III hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hyponatremia, or hypophosphatemia Hematologic grade IV toxicities that fail to recover to at least grade III within 14 days of last treatment Severe infection requiring antibiotic or antifungal treatment exceeding expected severity observed in other CLL 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: Definition of tolerability of escalated starting dose: 2 or less patients of the first 5 patients (starting dose 5 mg Lenalidomide) experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) in the first treatment cycle. No DLT occured during cycle 1 in the first 5 patients and starting dose of Lenalidomide was escalated to 10 mg.
