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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7292   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
    To determine the efficacy with which T-Guard, four weeks after the first infusion (study Day 28) induces an objective clinical response in patients with steroid-resistant acute GVHD.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practice standards and applicable country and/or local statutes and regulations regarding ethical committee review, informed consent, and the protection of human subjects participating in biomedical research. The following additional measure(s) defined for this individual study was (were) in place for the protection of trial subjects: - Patients were closely followed for symptoms which might have been indicative for the occurrence of esophagus or gastrointestinal toxicity. - The occurrence of an anaphylactic reaction to T-Guard formed a contraindication for subsequent doses. - No further doses should have been given when albumin levels decreased to 10.0 g/l or below. It was also recommended to consider an adjustment or halting of further doses if albumin levels dropped more than 5.0 g/l as compared to baseline, which decision was left to the Investigator's discretion.
    Background therapy
    High dose steroids, which started at a level of 1-2 mg/kg

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study was performed at 2 transplantation sites, one in The Netherlands and one in Germany. In total, 20 evaluable patients were included over 29 months. First patient screened was 2014-03-04. Last patient last visit was 2016-11-03.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The study population consisted of patients who were treated for aGVHD that had developed following HSCT or DLI, and who did not respond to standard first-line therapy of 2 mg/kg methylprednisolone daily.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    01 Sep 2013
    On request of the ethics committee, a provision has been added to the protocol that for reasons of risk mitigation first 8 patients should be treated sequentially, meaning that treatment should not be started until the previous patient has been observed for at least 48 hours after the last infusion. Furthermore, the collected personal demographic information of the study participants was restricted to ‘month and year of birth’, ‘gender’ and ‘patient study number’.
    08 Apr 2014
    The following main changes were made to the protocol: - language regarding the potential cross-reactivity of SVP-T3a-RTA with esophagus epithelium was added and adequate safety measures were implemented - the severity of VLS was now scored according to the CTCAE V4.0 criteria for Capillary Leakage - 24 hours-delay of the dosage was recommended if Grade II or III toxicity occurred after the previous dosage, with the next dose given if toxicity improved to < grade II or ≤ grade II, respectively. Given the potentially life-threatening consequences of leaving steroid-resistant acute GVHD under-treated, the final decision to postpone the next dosage is left to the investigators discretion depending on the clinical status of the individual patient. Also, halving of the dosage could be considered - language was added regarding the consideration for adjustment or halting of further T-Guard doses if albumin levels decreased to 12.0 g/l or below, or dropped more than 5.0 g/l as compared to baseline, though in the end it was still left to the investigator's discretion.
    13 Nov 2014
    - No further T-Guard doses should be administered when the serum albumin level decrease to 10 g/l or lower. Furthermore it was also recommended to consider an adjustment or halting of further doses if albumin levels drop more than 5.0 g/l as compared to baseline, which decision was left to the Investigator's discretion.
    01 Dec 2014
    The German Arzneimittelgesetz (AMG) prohibited the mixing of the two drug products SPV-T3a-RTA and WT1-RTA by a Hospital Pharmacist without a manufacturing license. As a consequence, the preparation of the infusions and subsequent administration procedure of T-Guard differed slightly between the Radboudumc in The Netherlands and the University Hospital Münster in Germany. Of not, this had no effect on the composition, amount, or administration rate of the T-Guard IMP actually administered to the patient via the central intravenous catheter.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The samplesize was small, and no randomized comparator arm was included. In addition, the study population was heterogeneous with respect to e.g. age, donor type, and GVHD prophylaxis regimens used. Nonetheless the population was representative.
