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.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy (as measured by overall survival) of pixantrone plus rituximab compared to gemcitabine plus rituximab in patients with a diagnosis of de novo DLBCL, DLBCL transformed from indolent lymphoma, or follicular grade 3 lymphoma who have relapsed after at least 1 prior chemotherapy regimen and who are not currently eligible for high-dose (myeloablative) chemotherapy and stem cell transplant.
    Evaluar la eficacia (determinada a partir de la supervivencia global) de la combinación de pixantrona más rituximab en comparación con gemcitabina más rituximab en pacientes diagnosticados con linfoma difuso de células B grandes (LDCBG) de novo, LDCBG trasformado a partir de un linfoma indolente, o linfoma folicular en grado 3 que hayan recidivado tras al menos un régimen quimioterapéutico previo y que actualmente no cumplan los requisitos para recibir quimioterapia (mieloablativa) en dosis alta y un trasplante de células madre.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To compare the two treatment arms with regard to the following secondary endpoints:
    ? Progression-free survival
    ? Overall response rate
    ? Complete response rate
    ? Safety
    Comparar los siguientes criterios de valoración secundarios entre los dos grupos de tratamiento:

    ? Tasa de respuesta global
    ? Tasa de respuesta completa
    ? Seguridad
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No

    2. Age ? 18 years old
    3. Diagnosis of DLBCL (de novo DLBCL or DLBCL transformed from indolent lymphoma) or follicular grade 3 lymphoma on the basis of a tissue biopsy.
    4. Pathology and immunohistochemistry reports documenting the current histological diagnosis according to WHO classification must be reviewed by the sponsor or designee prior to randomization.
    5. Number of prior therapies allowed:
    ? Patients with de novo DLBCL must have received 1-3 prior regimens for DLBCL

    ? relapsed after previous stem cell transplant
    ? did not respond to a standard salvage regimen
    ? did not mobilize an adequate number of stem cells for SCT
    ? are unsuitable for SCT due to other medical conditions or age

    9. At least 28 days from completion of last NHL therapy to randomization
    10. At least one bidimensionally measurable site of disease that has not been previously irradiated: nodal disease ? 1.5 cm or extranodal disease > 1 .0 cm in short axes. Lesion must be PET-positive if PET scan is obtained.

    19. Serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (AST) and serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (ALT) ? 2 x ULN, or ? 5 x ULN if elevation is due to hepatic involvement by lymphoma
    20. Serum creatinine ? 2 x ULN
    21. All acute toxicities related to prior treatment recovered to grade ? 1 except alopecia
    22. Willingness and ability to comply with the visit schedule and assessments required by the study protocol

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Overall Survival (OS) is the only primary endpoint of the study.
    La supervivencia global (SG) es el único criterio de valoración del estudio.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    OS is defined as the time from randomization until death due to any cause. If the patient is alive or the survival status is unknown, the date of death will be censored on the date the patient was last known to be alive.
    SG se define como el tiempo transcurrido desde la aleatorización hasta la
    muerte por cualquier causa. En caso de que el paciente esté vivo o de que se desconozca su estado de supervivencia, se censurará la fecha de la muerte en la fecha en que se tuviese la última noticia de que seguía con vida.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    The secondary efficacy endpoints are Progression-Free Survival (PFS) , Overall response rate (ORR), and Complete response rate (CR), safety

    Progression-Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of PD or death due to any cause (whichever is first reported) in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population. Patients who withdraw from study (ie. withdrawal of consent, lost to follow-up) without documented progression will be censored at the time of the last adequate disease assessment. Patients who complete the study, have not progressed, and are still alive at the cut-off date of the analysis will be censored at the last adequate disease assessment.
    Patients who receive high-dose therapy and stem cell transplant or other subsequent therapy without evidence for relapse will be censored for the PFS analysis at the last radiologic assessment date prior to the start of a new therapy.
    Overall Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of patients who achieve a CR or PR without additional therapy.
    Complete Response (CR) is defined as the proportion of patients who achieve a CR without additional therapy.
    Los criterios de valoración de la eficacia secundarios son la Supervivencia Sin Progresión (SSP), la Tasa de Respuesta Global (TRG) y la Respuesta Completa(RC).
    La supervivencia sin progresión (SSP) se define como el tiempo transcurrido desde la fecha de la aleatorización hasta la fecha de la EP o la muerte por cualquier causa (lo que se notifique primero) en la
    población con intención de tratar (ITT). Los pacientes que abandonen el estudio (es decir, retiren su consentimiento o se pierdan para el seguimiento) sin una progresión documentada serán censurados en el
    momento de la última evaluación adecuada de la enfermedad. Los pacientes que completen el estudio, no hayan experimentado progresión y sigan vivos en la fecha de corte del análisis serán censurados en la última evaluación adecuada de la enfermedad.
    Los pacientes que reciban tratamiento con altas dosis y un trasplante de células madre o cualquier otro tratamiento posterior sin pruebas de recidiva serán censurados para el análisis de la SSP en la fecha de la
    última evaluación radiológica antes del inicio de un nuevo tratamiento.
    La tasa de respuesta global (TRG) se define como la proporción de pacientes que obtuvieron una RC o una RP sin tratamiento adicional.
    La respuesta completa (RC) se define como la proporción de pacientes que logra una RC sin un tratamiento adicional.
