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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 was to evaluate the rate of complete remission (CR)/complete remission with partial hematological recovery (CRh*) in adult subjects with relapsed/refractory Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and United States Food and Drug Administration regulations/guidelinese. The study protocol and all amendments were reviewed by an independent ethics committee (IEC) or institutional review board (IRB). Before a subject’s participation in the clinical study, the investigator was responsible for obtaining written informed consent from the subject or legally acceptable representative after adequate explanation of the aims, methods, anticipated benefits, and potential hazards of the study and before any protocol-specific screening procedures or any investigational products were administered.

    Percentage of Participants With Complete Remission/Complete Remission With Partial Hematological Recovery (CR/CRh*) During the First Two Treatment Cycles [1]
    End point description
    Participants were evaluated for efficacy at the end of each treatment cycle via a central bone marrow aspiration and local peripheral blood counts. Complete remission was defined as meeting all 3 of the following criteria: • less than or equal to 5% blasts in the bone marrow; • no evidence of disease • full recovery of peripheral blood counts: platelets > 100,000/μl, and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1000/μl. Complete remission with partial hematological recovery (CRh*) was defined as meeting all 3 of the following criteria: • less than or equal to 5% blasts in the bone marrow • no evidence of disease • partial recovery of peripheral blood counts: platelets > 50,000/μl, and ANC > 500/μl. The analysis was based on the full analysis set which included all participants who received an infusion of blinatumomab. Participants without a post-baseline disease assessment were considered non-responders.

    Duration of CR or CRh* Response
    End point description
    Duration of response was measured for participants in remission (CR/CRh*), and was measured from the time the participant first achieved remission until first documented relapse or death from disease progression. Participants without a documented relapse (hematological or extramedullary) and who did not die were censored at the time of the last bone marrow assessment or the last survival follow-up visit to confirm remission. Participants who died without having reported hematological relapse or without showing any clinical sign of disease progression were censored on their date of death. The analysis was based on the full analysis set with a CR or CRh* response during the first 2 treatment cycles. "99999" indicates data that could not be estimated.

The 100-day mortality rate after allogeneic HSCT was defined as the percentage of participants having died up to 100 days after allogeneic HSCT estimated using the estimated time to death in percent calculated by Kaplan-Meier methods.

Grade 4: Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5: Death related to AE. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were those assessed by the investigator as possibly related to blinatumomab based on response to the question: Is there a reasonable possibility that the event may have been caused by blinatumomab or other protocol-specified therapies/procedures?

    Reporting group description
    Participants received blinatumomab by continuous intravenous (CIV) infusion over 4 weeks followed by a treatment-free interval of 2 weeks for 2 cycles. Participants who achieved a complete remission or complete remission with partial or incomplete hematologic recovery within 2 induction cycles of treatment could receive up to 3 additional consolidation cycles of blinatumomab.
