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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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
    To assess the efficacy of oral JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib measured by overall response rate (ORR) by IWG criteria (Cheson 2007) occurring after 6 months of oral JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib treatment in patients with advanced HL for whom no treatment with proven efficacy is available
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients have been followed for safety (adverse event) during all study duration. If a patient does not respond to study treatment, relapses or has progressive disease, each site was free to initiate further treatment according to local guidelines

Treatment should be continued up to 2 years or until disease progression, intolerability and/or the investigator determine that further therapy is not in the patient’s best interest (e.g., due to non-compliance, toxicity, etc.) Dose regimen: 20 mg BID of ruxolitinib if platelets > 200 x 109/L 15 mg BID of ruxolitinib if platelets count is between 75 to 200 x 109/L (+ dose escalation allowed)

    Dosage and administration details
    The induction treatment consists of 6 cycles of 28 days with ruxolitinib administrated every day continuously at the following dosage: - Subjects with baseline platelet count > 200 x 109/L will begin dosing at 20 mg BID - Subjects with baseline platelet count between 75 and 200 x 109/L will begin dosing at 15mg BID Patients who achieve at least a SD (according Cheson 2007) at the end of cycle 6 and for whose a clinical benefit is observed according to the Investigator’s opinion will be eligible for maintenance treatment by ruxolitinib (at the same posology for the induction period) twice daily every day of 28-day cycles. Treatment should be continued up to 2 years or until disease progression, intolerability and/or the investigator determine that further therapy is not in the patient’s best interest (e.g., due to noncompliance, toxicity etc.) Ruxolitinib tablets will be administered orally twice daily (BID) approximately 12 hours apart, without regards to food.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    26 Aug 2013
    • The addition in the biochemical analysis of the blood of two additional biological parameters (C-reactive protein and β2-microglobulin) and replacement of a parameter (measurement of the acid uric in place of urea), being essential for the assessment of patients before and during treatment • The addition of a recommendation to perform a lymph node biopsy to relapse before inclusion in the protocol • Clarification of concomitant treatments prohibited (reported inconsistency after the first set up): the authorization to take systemic steroids at a dose ≤ 20mg (as prednisolone equivalent) in Annex 9 and page 21 • A precision made on the realization of the tumoral evaluation visits for a better understanding: in Cycle 6 (end of induction) the evaluation should be carried out within 7 days before the end of induction to decide if the patient is responder to the treatment and continues the maintenance. • Same precision for maintenance cycles • A precision made on the time of realization of the samples for the biological study on biomarkers (page 25 and Appendix 8) • Update of the start and end dates of the study (page 3 and synopsis) • Modification of "Flow Chart" of the study: correction of an inconsistency and the addition of evaluation visits during maintenance period.
    10 Jan 2014
    • Expansion of the maintenance phase to patients with stable disease and in which a clinical benefit is observed at the end of induction, • Modification of the study design (page 41 of the protocol) accordingly
    25 Jul 2014
    • Modification of ruxolitinib packaging (from bottles of 60 tablets to wallets of 56 tablets)
    28 May 2015
    • Addition of an anatomopathological study on biopsy samples already collected

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
