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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 ).

    Serum Light Chain Type
    Light chains are proteins made by plasma cells and make immunoglobulins (antibodies). Immunoglobulins help protect the body against illness and infections. Immunoglobulins are formed when light chains link up with heavy chains, another type of protein. There are two types of light chains: lambda and kappa light chains. A free light chains test measures the amount of lambda and kappa free light chains in the blood. If the amount of free light chains is higher or lower than normal, it can mean you have a disorder of the plasma cells.

    Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) [1]
    End point description
    Adverse event (AE) is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen in a subject during course of study. It may be a new intercurrent illness, a worsening concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the subject’s health, regardless of etiology. Any worsening (i.e., any significant adverse change in the frequency or intensity of a pre- existing condition) was considered an AE. Severity of AEs were graded based on the symptoms according to version 4.0 of the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Second primary malignancies were monitored as events of interest and considered as part of the assessment of AEs. A SAE = AE occurring at any dose that: • Results in death; • Is life-threatening • Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization • Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity • Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect Safety pop. analyzed

    Pomalidomide Exposure - Apparent (Oral) Clearance (CL/F)
    End point description
    Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters are derived from pomalidomide concentration versus time data. Pomalidomide population pharmacokinetics (PopPK) and exposure response (ER) relationships in participants with relapsed and/or refractory MM have been well characterized in two phase 3 trials, i.e., CC-4047-MM-003 and CC-4047-MM-007, separately. Given the similar patient population enrolled in the current CC-4047-MM-010 study, the sponsor believes that additional PopPK and ER analyses would be redundant and would not provide accrued information/value. As such, the sponsor made the decision to not perform these analyses again in the CC-4047-MM-010 study

    Cytogenetic Analysis
    End point description
    Cytogenetic analysis was to be performed using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) methodology at a local laboratory, to evaluate the relationship between cytogenetic profiles and the combination of POM and LD-DEX in terms of response and outcome. Due to variabilities in site analysis and also data collection methods these data were not analyzed as the quality of the data could not be guaranteed, and the results would hence be unreliable.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    30 May 2013
    An additional two hundred and twenty subjects were to be enrolled, bringing the total sample size to approximately 720 subjects. The study was planned to remain open for enrollment for an estimated 18 to 24 months, or until the target number of subjects was reached, whichever occurred first. This increase in the study population was made principally for two reasons: - The sample size increase allowed a more detailed evaluation of the safety profile of Pom + LD-dex and enabled a better characterization of uncommon AEs. - This amendment resulted in a broader collection of cytogenetic data. The increase in sample size lead to an increase of the collected profiles. • To further investigate the role of pomalidomide in different subgroups based on their cytogenetic profile, and also to understand the cytogenetic changes that occur throughout the disease course, cytogenetic profiles were now to be analyzed at study entry and at relapse. • For the exclusion criterion related to neutrophil count at study entry, the limit was lowered to 800/μL. A common symptom of the advanced stages of MM disease of the subject population being enrolled in the trial is low neutrophil count. After discussions with key experts in the field of MM management, it was felt that the lower limit could be adapted while use of GCSF could be recommended when applicable.
    30 May 2013
    • To clearly define the meaning of the word abstinence that is used in the study inclusion criteria and that is relevant for all female subjects of child-bearing potential who participate in the study. This reflects the preferred wording proposed by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency in the United Kingdom, and this clarification is currently being implemented in all Celgene protocols in the pomalidomide development program. • To clearly define the enrollment of a subject into the study. This had important implications for the time period permitted for the subject to begin taking the first dose of study treatment. • To clearly define that the follow-up phase of the study began directly after the permanent discontinuation of the study treatment by the subject. Additional clarification regarding the scheduling of the 28-day safety follow-up visit was also added throughout the protocol. • Recommendations concerning the use of myeloid and erythroid growth factors for the study population were added and the relevant ESMO guidelines cited. Subjects who received primary prophylaxis for the prevention of neutropenia according to such guidelines were also recommended to receive this support while they were participating in the study, although this was left to the discretion of the investigator. • Clarifications regarding the scheduling of permitted platelet transfusions during the screening phase of the study were added to indicate that the screening platelet assessment was to be performed a minimum of 3 days (72 hours) after the completion of the transfusion. • The definition of PD was made consistent throughout the protocol. Progressive disease in this study must be made according to the IMWG uniform response criteria. • Update of Table 1 (Table of Events), its associated footnotes and Section 6 Procedures to clearly indicate when the cytogenetic testing was required during the course of the study and the details of the samples to be taken.
    30 May 2013
    • Update of Table 1 (Table of Events) its associated footnotes and Section 6 Procedures to amend the laboratory parameters that were required to be reported at screening and during the subject’s participation in the study. Previous studies have shown that some parameters are not relevant to achieve the overall objectives of the study.• The methodology required to locally assess the levels of urine M-protein was expanded to include methods other than urine protein electrophoresis. This was as a result of feedback from participating sites that they had other comparable methods (e.g. nephelometric assessment) that were reliable and validated which could be used in such a population. Clarification that 24-hour urine collection samples obtained as standard of care prior to informed consent could be utilized for screening if collected within 7 days prior to the screening visit. • In order to complete the required skeletal survey of study subjects, sites could now use a CT scan as well as X-ray methods. • To clarify in the pomalidomide dosing modification instructions the minimum levels of neutrophil and platelet counts required to begin a new cycle of study treatment with pomalidomide. The reason for this change was so that there was consistency with the study entry criteria. • There were several updates made to the summaries of the other clinical studies involving pomalidomide that were written in the introductory section of the protocol. This represented the most recent information on pomalidomide that the participating sites were to be made aware of, and included updated citations concerning pomalidomide that had been published since the original version of the protocol was released and a notification that pomalidomide has received marketing authorization in the US in February 2013.
