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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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 determine how many patients treated with 4 cycles of brentuximab vedotin, who are unsuitable for conventional chemotherapy, have a complete response to the treatment (as measured by PET scan Deauville score 1,2 or 3).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients were carefully monitored during and for 1-hour after the first infusion for infusion-related reactions. If an infusion-related reaction occurred, the infusion was interrupted and appropriate medical management instituted. All general supportive care measures, including red cell transfusion to alleviate disease related symptoms and treatment toxicities were allowed at the investigators discretion.
    Background therapy
    		 -
    Evidence for comparator
    		 Brentuximab vedotin (BV) is a new CD30 targeted antibody, composed of the anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody cAC10 and a potent antimictrotubule drug, monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). It binds to CD30, which has very low expression in normal cells but is consistently expressed in Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg cells. Phase 1 and 2 data in the relapsed/refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma population suggest that BV has a high level of efficacy and a very manageable toxicity profile with no known cardiac or pulmonary toxicity when given as a single agent.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 Patients were invited to attend from 13 UK Haematology-oncology centres, as selected for the LLR Trials Acceleration Programme (TAP) and additional UK Haemato-Oncology centres. Recruitment ran between 14-FEB-2014 and 20-OCT-2017.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 Screening commenced following consent and prior to patient registration in order to confirm eligibility. All patients had a full medical and drug history, PET scan and physical examination, with particular attention paid to cardiovascular risk factors and assessments to exclude symptoms or signs of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalpathy.

    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: Patients were screened prior to enrolment into the study. This occurred prior to registration therefore the number in the pre-enrolment period is greater than the number registered into the trial.

    Notes
    [2] - Period 1 is not the baseline period. It is expected that period 1 will be the baseline period.
    Justification: This is a single arm phase II trial in which 7 patients were replaced. Period one includes all patients registered to the trial, period three includes only those who were evaluable for efficacy. It is the baseline characteristics of those patients who were evaluated for efficacy which are of clinical importance.

    End point description
    No statistical analysis were preformed. During the design of this trial a response rate of 40% was deemed unacceptable for further investigation and a response rate of 60% was deemed worthy of further investigation. These figures were used in the Simon's two-stage minimax design which determined that in order for the BV to be worthy of further investigation as a single agent treatment the trial needed to show a minimum of 15 complete metabolic responses.

    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    All adverse events were reported from the date of commencement of protocol defined treatment until 30 days after the administration of treatment.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Adverse Events (AEs) were reported on an AE form and returned to the Trials Office. AE's were reviewed using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 4. SAE forms were faxed to the Trials Office; seriousness and causality were determined independently by a Clinical Coordinator.
