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 objective is to evaluate the efficacy of BeEAM (bendamustine, etoposide, cytarabine and melphalan) regimen prior to autologous stem cell transplant for first and second chemosensitive relapses in patients with follicular lymphoma (WHO grade 1, 2, 3a) by measuring the event-free survival define by relapse (for complete responders at the beginning of treatment), progression, death from any cause and initiation of a new therapy.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients achieving a complete or partial response after salvage treatment according to 2007 Cheson international response criteria and being eligible for transplant will proceed to the inclusion visit. The inclusion will be performed after salvage treatment before HDT. The investigator or designee staff will have to proceed to the following information/procedures during the inclusion visit: - Inform the patient of the treatments, the objectives and the design of the study, answer to questions and sign with him/her the informed consent form (ICF). The investigator must not start any study related procedure before ICF is signed and dated by both patient (or impartial witness, if applicable) and investigator - Check the eligibility criteria list Inclusion visit Patient registration Assessment during study treatment (BeEAM treatment) Hematological assessment post ASCT Day 100 assessment after ASCT Long-term follow up

    Experimental
    Arm description
    The proposed trial is a single arm, multicenter, open-label, phase II study. Patients will be pre-treated with a salvage treatment. Then, patients will be consolidated by BeEAM regiment prior to ASCT: - Bendamustine (160 mg/m² from day -8 to-7) - Etoposide (200 mg/m² from day -6 to day -3: 100mg/m2 every 12h) - Cytarabine (400 mg/m² from day -6 to day -3: 200 mg/m2 every 12h) - Melphalan (140 mg/m² on day -2) ASCT will be performed according to standard recommendations. After ASCT, administration of any other chemotherapy agents or regimen is not allowed. During the study, 9 visits will be performed after ASCT during 4 years: - At D100 and M6, - Then every 6 months (M12, M18, M24, M30, M36, M42 and M48)

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: One patient was enrolled before the inclusions were suspended and he did not receive the study treatment. The analysis population consists of the 20 patients treated.

    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: Qualitative variables will be described using frequency and percentage distributions. Quantitative data will be described using the number of observations, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum values, and the number of missing data if appropriate. Patient characteristics and other baseline data will be summarized. The date of inclusion (beginning of BeEAM regimen) will serve as a reference for calculation of durations unless otherwise indicated.

    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: All 20 patients treated experienced one or more adverse events. For the 20 patients at least one of the events was related to the study treatment and all also had at least one grade> = 3 AE. 16 patients reported at least one SAE during the study including 3 patients with two SAEs, 2 patients with 4 SAEs and one patient with 5 SAEs, for a total of 29 SAEs.

    Restart date
    24 Nov 2017
    A monitoring committee was held on 04/18/2016 (19 patients included including 18 treated) following the occurrence of the 2 new safety facts. This committee recommended "Temporary stopping of recruitment pending the collection of additional information" (the Promoter had already suspended inclusions since 02/12/2016). On June 16, 2016 the committee met again and it was decided to continue the test with amendment.
