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   43866   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7287   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
    Part A • To characterize the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of givinostat in patients with Polycythemia Vera (PV). Part B • To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of givinostat at the MTD after 3 cycles. • To determine the safety and tolerability of givinostat at the MTD after 3 cycles. In Part A, all patients were to receive givinostat at an initial dose level (DL) of 100 milligrams (mg) twice daily (b.i.d.). In Part B, patients were to receive givinostat at the MTD determined in Part A.

    Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) After 1 Cycle in Part A of the Study [3] [4]
    End point description
    The MTD of givinostat was based only on Cycle 1 DLTs. A DLT was defined as the following drug-related toxicity: •Grade 4 hematological toxicity, or •Grade 3 febrile neutropenia, or •Grade ≥3 non-hematological toxicity (with the exception Grade 3 diarrhea without adequate supportive care lasting less than 3 days, and Grade 3 nausea or vomiting without adequate supportive care lasting less than 3 days), or •Any drug-related serious AE, or •Any toxicity clearly not related to disease progression or intercurrent illness requiring interruption of dosing for more than 3 days during first cycle. At end of Cycle 1, for the third patient in each DL, the safety of the 3 patients treated for 1 cycle was reviewed and it was decided if the dose should be escalated or not. Results are reported as the number of patients with DLT events for Cycle 1 in Part A. Analysis performed on MTD analysis set, comprising all patients who experienced a DLT or received ≥90% of study drug doses in Cycle 1.

    Number of Patients Experiencing TEAEs After 3 Cycles in Part B of the Study [5] [6]
    End point description
    Evaluations were performed on the type, incidence and severity of TEAEs, graded according to CTCAE v. 4.03, following administration of givinostat at the MTD for up to 3 cycles of treatment in Part B. Grades 1 through 5 were as follows: Grade 1: Mild; Grade 2: Moderate; Grade 3: Severe or medically significant but not immediately life threatening or requiring hospitalisation; Grade 4: Life threatening consequences; Grade 5: Death related to AE. Results are reported as number of patients with TEAEs for each of the indicated categories. Definitions: drug-related TEAE / TESAE corresponded to reasonable suspicion that the TEAE / TESAE was associated with the use of the study drug, according to investigator assessment; discontinuation refers to discontinuation from treatment.

    ORR, CR and PR following administration of givinostat at MTD for 3 cycles in Part B, reported as percentage of patients with a response. Response was evaluated according to the clinico-hematological European LeukemiaNet (ELN) response criteria. If Investigator's clinical response assessment (taking into account the overall medical judgment of the specific patient's case) was not in agreement with exact application of the ELN response criteria, the Investigator's assessment superseded the mathematical application of these criteria and was used for analysis. Analysis performed on ITT analysis set. CR defined as: 1.Hematocrit (HCT) <45% without phlebotomy, and 2.Platelets ≤400 x10^9/litre (L), and 3.White Blood Cell count ≤10 x10^9/L, and 4.Normal spleen size, and 5.No disease-related systemic symptoms (i.e. pruritus, headache, microvascular disturbances).
