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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary endpoint of the study is the proportion of patients who lose MMR during the trial observation period of 37 months. BCR-ABL1 will be assessed by standard PCR based molecular monitoring on blood. This is a routine part of clinical follow-up, but will be carried out more frequently than usual. It is not expected that any patient will undergo more serious relapse than loss of MMR, so there are no formal plans for routine marrow examinations. MR4 and MMR patients will receive the same strategy, but will be analysed separately.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study involved a de-escalation of patient's prescribed medication for CLL, followed by stopping of their medication. As part of analysis, and as a continuous indication of patient health, monthly bloods were taken and analysed for relapse.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The trial opened to recruitment in December 2013 and closed in April 2015. Although the target number of patients was 168, 174 patients were enrolled in the study. This was due to ethical reasons as patients at different sites were still in the process of joining when the trial was approaching recruitment termination.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 336 patients were screened for the trial. Main reasons for decline included the commitment to monthly visits, the additional bone marrow test and reduction/cessation of treatment dose. Main reasons for exclusion included inadequate PCR lab results and higher or lower TKI doses than required.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: 4There were 6 patients (4 MMR and 2 MR4) that completed 12 months of de-escalation although they did not start cessation phase. The summaries in brackets refer to those patients.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    03 Feb 2014
    • Clarification that reporting of molecular results should be to International Standard where possible and that potential patients without a standard BCR-ABL1 fusion transcript only may be eligible to participate. • The criterion that excludes patients with previous higher than standard dose has been modified to include an exception to allow higher dose patients that participated in specific studies to be included as they do not demonstrate resistant disease. • Clarification that patients who are already being treated with lower doses for tolerance reasons are allowed, providing their current dosage it at least 50% of the defined standard dose. • Running order of exclusion criteria changed as result of the changes to allow a better reading ‘flow’. • Clarification that samples should continue to be collected for relapsed patients until the molecular result at study entry is regained. • Rewording for clarity of the primary endpoint. • The line on there being no routine marrow examinations removed. • Sample section has been updated so only patients recruited and treated at the Royal Liverpool Hospital are requested to provide blood samples for sending to the Liverpool labs. • Sample collection time-points clarified and receptacles to be used, plus kits that are provided have been updated • Additional samples from diagnostic blood tests being sent to Hammersmith has been updated to include all patients, rather than just those from the MR4 group, and clarified in the samples table. • Accountability Procedures for Trial Treatment section has been re-written to confirm that the Trial is a ‘Type A’ and that no accountability is required. • Confirmation that other treatment supply practices are allowed if the PI approves. • Post month 37 PCR results (i.e. local) also being required has been added to this section • Confirmation that enrolment to each molecular group will cease when its required number is reached added.
    18 Dec 2014
    Molecular Grouping: • Deletion of statement ‘Enrolment to each molecular group will cease once the required number of patients for that particular group has been reached.’ • Reference to 2 equal groups of 84 MMR and MR4 patients removed throughout and replaced with 1 group of 168 MMR and MR4.
    16 Jan 2015
    • Clarification that the central analysis definition of MMR is a BCR-ABL1/ABL1 ratio of ≤0.1% to International Standards (IS) • Clarification that samples should continue to be collected for relapsed patients until MMR is regained • Addition of extra medical expert who will assess SAE reports • Exclusion criterion expanded to cover prior use of interferon • ‘Objectives’ renamed ‘Outcomes’ and the secondary outcomes expanded • Clarification that the study is a phase IIb • Duplicated inclusion and exclusion criteria replaced with instruction to refer to the same in the protocol summary. Section numbering altered as a result. • Updated to allow emailed registrations. • Quantity of marrow tissue required updated to 1-2ml in table 1 to be consistent with rest of section • Clarification that month 37 or relapse marrow samples should still be requested even if a baseline one wasn’t available, and that the quantity of marrow should be taken according to local practice • Section re-worded for clarity and reference to ‘Type A’ trial removed as this is covered in the risk assessment section of the protocol. • Clarified throughout that molecular monitoring is reported to international standards and not just where possible, and that samples should continue to be collected for relapsed patients until MMR is regained • Schedule of trial procedures updated to include Hammersmith alert procedures and weight measurement requirement at all post screening visits • Baseline marrow window extended to 1 calendar month prior to the commencement of de-escalation • Table legend updated accordingly • Addition to clarify that baseline samples are not included in the establishing of relapse • Updated to include the reclassification of MR4 patients for statistical analysis purposes, plus rationale of same. Update to sample size. • Update to analysis plan. • Clarification and expansion in pharmacovigilance section. • Risk assessment categories replaced.
    04 Jul 2016
    • Update to protocol summary diagram. • Changes to wording in overall design. • Schedule of procedure updated to include relapse procedures.
    22 Mar 2017
    • Update to diagram in protocol summary. • Removal of bone marrow and 30mls blood at month 37. Addition of follow-up patients after month 37. • Correction to references to Reference Safety Information.
    28 May 2018
    • Removal of one secondary endpoint. • Updated to contact details. • Updated references to SmPCs. Clarified processes for non-protocol dosing. Removed wording relating to licenced indication, dosage and form. Confirmed method of dose reduction.
