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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Phase II • To demonstrate the efficacy and safety of BV in combination with DHAP as salvage treatment (establish the fraction of responding patients – metabolic CR – as judged by PET-CT after the third cycle, and establish the rate of grade ¾ non-hematological toxicity, including neurotoxicity).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The Data Safety Monitoring Board will advise the Principal Investigator and the Co-PI about the continuation of the study. The DSMB will evaluate the general progress and the feasibility of the study, the quality and completeness of the data, side effects and safety. The DSMB consists of at least 3 members, among whom (at least) one statistician and minimally two physicians. The members of the DSMB are invited on personal title on the basis of their expert knowledge of the disease involved and/or the research methodology. Members of the DSMB will have ample experience with phase I/II clinical trials. The members of the DSMB will not be involved in the study or work in a hospital department participating in the study. The DSMB reports their written recommendations to the trial statistician. The report may consist of a confidential and a public part, where the confidential part contains references to unblinded data, if there are any. The trial statistician forwards the public part of the DSMB recommendation to the Principal Investigator and the Co-PI. The DSMB recommendations are not binding.

    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: There was no comparison between groups, only descriptive evaluation of metabolic CR rate, no direct comparison. The statistical analysis for an endpoint is thus not mandatory. This is why the statistical analysis was deleted (after consulting Sjennie Daelmans).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    28 Sep 2015
    1. The use of long-acting G-CSF (Neulasta) after the 1st and 3rd course of Brentuximab Vedotin + DHAP and after autologous stemcell transplantation is now obligatory to reduce the prolonged period of grade 4 granulocytopenia that was observed in the initial patients in the phase I part of the study who did not receive the growth factor : See section 5.2.2 and 5.4.3 in the protocol. NB. After course 2 all patients receive G-CSF in view of stem cell harvesting. 2. The definition of DLT has been extended : see section 5.2.3 , the Table in section 7.2 and section 17.7 in the protocol dealing with long-lasting granulocytopenia despite growth factor treatment after BV + DHAP. 3. Eligibility criteria for high dose BEAM chemotherapy followed by autologous stemcell transplantation have now been introduced in a new section in the protocol : 5.4.1.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
