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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study is to determine a safe, tolerable and effective dose of sotatercept that results in the greatest frequency of improvement of anemia in patients diagnosed with low- or intermediate-1 risk MDS or non-proliferative chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The procedures set out in this study protocol pertaining to the conduct, evaluation, and documentation of this study were designed to ensure that Celgene, its authorized representative, and investigator abided by Good Clinical Practice (GCP), as described in the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) E6 guideline and in accordance with the general ethical principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki. The study received approval from an independent review board/ ethics committee (IRB/IEC) prior to commencement. The investigator conducted all aspects of this study in accordance with applicable national, state, and local laws of the pertinent regulatory authorities. An informed consent form (ICF) explaining the procedures of the study, including the potential hazards, was reviewed and approved by the IRB/IEC prior to its use. The investigator obtained informed consent of a subject and/or a subject’s legal representative prior to any study-related procedures. Documentation, including the date, that informed consent occurred prior to the subject’s entry into the study, and of the informed consent process was recorded in the subject’s source documents. The original ICF, signed and dated by the subject and by the person consenting the subject prior to the subject’s entry into the study, was maintained in the investigator’s study files and a copy was given to the subject. In addition, the ICF was revised when the protocol was amended in a way that impacted the content of the informed consent. Subjects participating in the study when the amended protocol was implemented were reconsented with the revised version of the ICF. The revised ICF, signed and dated by the subject and by the person consenting the subject, was maintained in the investigator’s study files, and a copy was given to the subject.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Participants were stratified by concentration of serum erythropoietin (EPO) (<500 versus ≥500 IU/L), by number of transfusions within 56 days of study enrollment (<4 versus ≥4 units of red blood cells) and assigned randomly to 0.1 mg/kg and 0.3 mg/kg arms.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Enrollment in the other arms (sotatercept 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/kg arms) commenced after the Steering Committee approved the higher doses based on the safety of preceding doses.

    End point description
    Progression to events of higher risk MDS used criteria from the International Prognostic Scoring System for MDS (IPSS) which assigns a prognostic score (0=good and increasing in risk by half-grades with the top score outlined below) for three prognostic variables: • Marrow blasts (score 0-2.0) • Karyotype (score 0-1.0) • Cytopenias: neutrophil, platelets, and Hg counts (score 0-0.5) The three individual scores are summed resulting in a full range of 0- 3.5 and placed into risk categories • 0 = low risk • 0.5-1.0 = intermediate-1 risk • 1.5-2.0 =intermediate-2 risk • >=2.5 = high risk This outcome was defined as a Kaplan-Meier estimate however few participants progressed so a Kaplan-Meier analysis could not be performed. Data reported represent event times (weeks) for participants who did progress to higher risk MDS categories.

    Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)
    End point description
    An adverse event (AE) is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen in a subject during the course of a study. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are defined as any AE occurring or worsening on or after the first treatment of the study medication and within 42 days after the last dose. The severity of AEs was graded based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 4.0 and the scale: Grade 1 = Mild Grade 2 = Moderate Grade 3 = Severe Grade 4 = Life threatening Grade 5 = Death. Relation to study drug was determined by the investigator. A treatment-related TEAE is defined as TEAE which was considered to be related to the study drug and reported as 'Suspected' on the CRF. AEs with a missing relationship were treated as 'treatment-related' in data summaries.

    Sotatercept 0.5 mg/kg
    Reporting group description
    Sotatercept 0.5 mg/kg administered via subcutaneous injection every third week (Q3W). Participants were randomized to one of the active treatment arms. Efficacy and safety data were assessed by a Steering Committee. Based upon the occurrence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in ≤ 1/6 subjects in Cycle 1 in the 0.5 mg/ kg treatment group, the 1.0 mg/kg treatment group began inclusion in the randomization scheme.

    Reporting group title
    Sotatercept 1.0 mg/kg
    Reporting group description
    Sotatercept 1.0 mg/kg administered via subcutaneous injection every third week (Q3W). Participants were randomized to one of the active treatment arms. Efficacy and safety data were assessed by a Steering Committee. Based upon the occurrence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in ≤ 1/6 subjects in Cycle 1 in the 1.0 mg/ kg treatment group, the 2.0 mg/kg treatment group began inclusion in the randomization scheme. Following evaluation of all treatment group data by the Steering Committee, enrollment continued only in the 1.0 mg/kg arm because the arm had the greatest frequency of erythroid hematological improvement (HI-E).

    Reporting group title
    Sotatercept 2.0 mg/kg
    Reporting group description
    Sotatercept 2.0 mg/kg administered via subcutaneous injection every third week (Q3W). Participants were randomized to one of the active treatment arms. Efficacy and safety data were assessed by a Steering Committee. The 2.0 mg/kg sotatercept dose was reduced to 1.5 mg/kg for ongoing and newly enrolled participants by protocol amendment.

    - Revision of protocol title and inclusion criteria to reflect the inclusion of CMML as a subclassification of the MDS/ myeloproliferative neoplasms subgroup as outlined in protocol Appendix A. -Revision of the DLT criteria, including Rules for Delay, Reduction and Discontinuation of Treatment (protocol Table 8) and Reasons for Discontinuation for: a. Hemoglobin > 12 g/dL, sustained for ≥ 7 days, confirmed by 2 assessments ≥ 1 week apart. b. Hypertension Grade ≥ 2 according to NCI-CTCAE version 4.0 (current active minor version), BP values must be confirmed by 2 readings obtained 5 minutes apart. c. Treatment-related (suspected) toxicity Grade ≥ 3. - Clarification of definition of favorable safety profile as a safe, tolerable, and effective dose of sotatercept that results in the greatest frequency of HI-E in subjects with anemia and low- or int-1 risk MDS. - Addition of specific early stopping criteria for an excess number of DLTs or the absence of efficacy within a dose cohort - Revision of inclusion criteria to: a. Only allow subjects requiring RBC transfusions to be eligible for the study b. Add language that females of child-bearing potential must agree to use effective contraception while participating in this study c. Add pregnancy prevention language for males participating in this study - Revision of exclusion criteria to exclude subjects with uncontrolled hypertension (SBP > 140 mm Hg or DBP ≥ 90 mm Hg). Controlled hypertension for this protocol was considered Grade ≤ 1 according to NCI-CTCAE version 4.0 (current active minor version) - Revision of Rules for Delay, Reduction and Discontinuation of Treatment Section to: a. Clarify discontinuation due to treatment-related (suspected) toxicity Grade ≥ 3 b. Clarify discontinuation due to treatment-related (suspected) toxicity Grade ≤ 2 that delays treatment by more than 3 months c. Provide dose reduction guidance for subjects who experience a rapid rise in Hgb .........

    - Added clarification related to the hypertension DLT definition to ensure harmonization of DLT assessment for hypertension across all study sites due to unique attributes of the study population - Provided clear parameters for Extension Period eligibility to offer flexibility for those subjects who do not meet protocol-defined HI-E to enter the Extension Period, at the investigator’s discretion, if clinical benefit was seen at the conclusion of the Treatment Period - Removed the Cycle 3 Day 1 mandatory MDS response assessment as it was deemed too soon after initiation of treatment of study drug - Continued to follow efficacy parameters (ie, Hgb and transfusions) for up to 3 months after the last dose of study drug or start of next treatment to assess potential late response after study drug discontinuation as was sometimes observed with ESAs - Modified the AE reporting period to 42 days after the last dose was administered. Beyond 42 days, all SAEs deemed suspected related to study drug will still be reported - Included chromosome del (5q) MDS patients who have failed on lenalidomide, intolerable to lenalidomide, or have other cytopenia precluding use of lenalidomide, as these patients could potentially benefit from treatment with sotatercept Increased the frequency of BP monitoring from once per cycle to weekly during the first 5 cycles of treatment, with the added flexibility of home monitoring - Addition of an Independent Cardiologist to the Steering Committee to focus on potential cardiovascular effects of the study drug - Increased the contraception use requirement for males after the last administration of study drug from 112 days to 7 months/210 days to account for the limited data on the study drug’s effect on spermatogenesis - Agreement on additional language related to clarification of the hypertension DLT definition ....

    - Additional dose levels were added beyond 0.5 mg/kg cohort (ie, 1.0 mg/kg SC Q3W and 2.0 mg/kg SQ Q3W), as 0.5 mg/kg may be subtherapeutic in study population - Additional safety measure was added to ensure adequate data were available and reviewed by the Steering Committee prior to all future dose escalation - Additional safety measure was added to allow potential exploration of intermediate dose levels (eg, 0.75 mg/kg and 1.5 mg/kg) at time of dose escalation to 1.0 mg/kg and 2.0 mg/kg respectively upon Steering Committee review of safety and efficacy data - Additional dose reduction levels were added to account for additional dose levels added beyond 0.5 mg/kg - New text was added to provide guidance to sites when total volume of calculated dose exceeds what was typically administered in 1 SC injection - New text consistent with previous rationale added to “Rationale for Study Design” section to account for addition of dose levels beyond 0.5 mg/kg - New text added related to timing of Steering Committee meetings to account for additional dose levels beyond 0.5 mg/kg - Additional guidance related to predose Hgb level prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 treatment administration for subjects who were deemed NTDE per protocol was provided - New text was added related to Steering Committee guidance on closure of treatment group to further enrollment due to lack of efficacy to minimize number of patients enrolled at subtherapeutic doses after their review of safety and efficacy data - New text was added to account for varying operational logistics at study sites related to timing of availability of predose Hgb result - Clarification on HI-E definition for subjects who were classified as NTDE per protocol - Clarification was added that hypertension DLT was confirmed by study investigator/clinical site at the clinical site and not based solely on a measurement taken at home by the subject or caretaker ....

    - Subjects in the sotatercept 2.0 mg/kg dosing group were dose reduced to sotatercept 1.5 mg/kg. Subsequent enrollment into this dosing group was at sotatercept 1.5 mg/kg; however, no subjects were enrolled at the 1.5 mg/kg starting dose level. - Enrollment into Part 2 (expansion) commenced without delay at a sotatercept dose level of 1.0 mg/kg - Language was added to include the availability of a roll-over protocol for subjects that remained on study following the analysis of all key endpoints and objectives of the study - A request for historic MDS molecular mutational analysis data, if available, was added - Recently published preclinical data was added - Addition of references related to recently published preclinical data - Updated data from the completed ACE-011-NSCL-001 study was added - Updated incidence of antisotatercept antibody data was added
