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 ).

    PFS as Assessed by the IRC Using Standard iwCLL Guidelines
    End point description
    PFS= time from randomization until first occurrence of PD/relapse as assessed by the investigator using iwCLL guidelines, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. PD: occurrence of one of the following: new lesion; new palpable lymph node (>1.5 cm); unequivocal progression of non-target lesion; increase of >/=50% in splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, blood lymphocytes with count >/=5000/mcL, longest diameter of any lesion; transformation to more aggressive histology; decrease of >/=50% in platelet/neutrophil count, hemoglobin level by >2 g/dL or to <10 g/dL. Participants who had not progressed, relapsed, or died at the time of analysis, were censored on the date of last assessment. In case of no disease assessment after baseline, PFS was censored at the time of randomization+1 day. ITT population included all randomized participants, with participants grouped according to randomized treatment group, regardless of the actual treatment received.

    Change From Baseline in Monroe Dunaway (MD) Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI) Core Symptom Severity, Module Symptom Severity, and Interference Scores
    End point description
    MDASI is a 25-item validated questionnaire consisting of 2 parts. Part 1: 19-items divided into 2 scales, Core Symptom Severity (average of Questions 1 to 13) and Module Symptom Severity (average of Questions 14 to 19). Part 2: 6-items to assess Interference (symptom distress) (average of Questions 20 to 25). Each item was rated from 0 to 10, with lower scores indicating better outcome. Total score for Core Symptom Severity, Module Symptom Severity, and Interference are reported which range from 0 to 10, with lower scores indicating better health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Patient reported outcome (PRO) evaluable population, included all participants with baseline and at least one post-baseline PRO assessment.

    Notes
    [44] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: Plasma venetoclax concentrations was only analyzed for VR arm of the study.

    End point description
    EORTC QLQ-C30 is a validated self-report measure consisting of 30 questions incorporated into 5 functional scales (Physical, Role, Cognitive, Emotional, and Social), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea, and vomiting), a global health status/global QoL scale, and single items (dyspnea, appetite loss, sleep disturbance, constipation, and diarrhea). Most questions used 4-point scale (1='Not at all' to 4='Very much'), while 2 questions used 7-point scale (1='very poor' to 7='Excellent'). Scores were averaged, transformed to 0-100 scale; where higher score for functional scales=poor level of functioning; higher score for global health status/global QoL=better HRQoL. PRO evaluable population = all participants with baseline and at least one post-baseline PRO assessment. ‘99999’=either data were not available because no participant was evaluable or SD was not available because only 1 participant was evaluable at indicated time point.

    Change From Baseline in HRQoL as Measured by Quality of Life Questionnaire Associated CLL Module (QLQ-CLL16) Multi-Item Scales Score
    End point description
    The EORTC QLQ-CLL16 module is designed for participants with Stage 0 to Stage 4 CLL. It is composed of 16 questions and there are four multi-item scales on Fatigue (2 items), Treatment-related side effects (TRSE, 4 items), Disease-related symptoms (DRS, 4 items), and Infection (4 items); and two single-item scales on social activities and future health worries. Multi-item scales score are reported and the total score for each multi-item scale was transformed to result in a total score range of 0 to 100, where higher score = poor HRQoL. PRO evaluable population, included all participants with baseline and at least one post-baseline PRO assessment. 'Number of Subject Analysed' = participants evaluable for this outcome measure; 'n' = participants evaluable at specified time point; ‘99999’ = either mean was not available because no participant was evaluable or SD was not available because only 1 participant was evaluable at indicated time points.

    Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
    End point description
    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered with Mircera and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with Mircera. A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any significant hazard, contraindication, side effect that is fatal or life threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is medically significant or requires intervention to prevent one or other of the outcomes listed above. AEs were assessed using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.0 (NCI CTCAE, v4.0). SE population included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study treatment with participants grouped according to the actual treatment received.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    26 Nov 2013
    An exclusion of participants who had received potent cytochrome (CYP3A4) inhibitors was clarified to make consistent with the rest of the protocol; An exclusion criterion was added for participants with recent major surgery in line with the prescribing information for bendamustine; The pregnancy testing procedure was modified such that testing was required at each cycle of combination therapy and every 3 months thereafter until the end of treatment in order to obtain a more timely diagnosis of pregnancy.

    Modifications to the tumor lysis syndrome prophylaxis measures for participants with CLL were implemented following analysis of participants enrolled in different venetoclax trials: All participants randomized to the ‘Venetoclax + Rituximab’ arm were to initiate dosing with 20 mg venetoclax daily for at least 7 days; Outpatient dosing and monitoring for the first venetoclax dose at all dose levels (20 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 400 mg) was introduced for low- and medium-risk participants, if there was no indication to hospitalize; Outpatient IV hydration prior to the first venetoclax dose was introduced for medium-risk participants at 20 and 50 mg; Inpatient dosing and monitoring was introduced for high-risk participants prior to the first venetoclax dose only at the 20 mg and 50 mg dose levels; Outpatient dosing and IV hydration prior to the first venetoclax dose was introduced for high-risk participants at dose levels of 100 mg and above, if there was no indication to hospitalize; Reduced frequency of laboratory assessments after dosing; Prophylaxis with rasburicase had to be administered prior to the first dose of venetoclax only for high-risk participants with high uric acid levels and per regional standards/guidelines; Dose Modification for venetoclax + rituximab in case of non-hematologic toxicity was clarified globally.

    The recruitment of participants with occult or prior hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection if HBV deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) was undetectable was allowed; In order to collect appropriate MRD information, bone marrow aspiration was added. This was previously only mandated in participants with CR. To synchronize with other venetoclax development studies MRD in peripheral blood was to be monitored for up to 1 year after completion of venetoclax single-agent therapy.
    22 Dec 2015
    The interim analysis was changed to be information-fraction-based as opposed to time-based (that is, percentage of total PFS) events; A secondary objective of best overall response rate as assessed by the investigator was added; Details regarding multiplicity adjustment and order for testing the key secondary endpoints were added; The secondary outcome measure of MRD response rate was clarified that this assessment was based on the EoCTR visit. MRD response rate at other disease response assessment timepoints were designated as exploratory outcome measures; Additional details were provided on the use of strong, moderate and weak CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers as well as cautionary medications; Timings for the baseline QoL questionnaires for the ‘Venetoclax + Rituximab’ arm were incorporated; PK outcome measures were further defined to include concentrations of venetoclax.

    Allowed for a change in the clinical prioritization of the secondary efficacy endpoints to mirror the evolving relapsed/refractory CLL therapeutic and scientific landscape.

    The following updates in the protocol were made in Korea. - The description of the fixed sequence testing of the secondary efficacy endpoints in the statistical section of the protocol was streamlined and the details of the testing of secondary endpoints were set out in the statistical analysis plan, in accordance with the international guideline on Statistical Principles for Clinical Trials (ICH E9). This amendment is implemented to allow for a change in the clinical prioritization of the secondary efficacy endpoints to mirror the evolving R/R CLL therapeutic and scientific landscape. - The sample list of prohibited and cautionary medications was updated, incorporating the FDA’s updated guidelines.

    - An exploratory objective was added to evaluate best overall response rate (ORR) to next anti-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treatment, as assessed by the investigator. - An optional R/C Substudy was added.At the interim analysis (now primary analysis), the study demonstrated that venetoclax and rituximab (venetoclax + R) is superior to bendamustine and rituximab (BR) in participants with relapsed/refractory CLL. The primary endpoint of investigator assessed progression-free survival (PFS) showed significant improvement with venetoclax. - Secondary endpoints, including overall survival (OS), ORR, and complete response rate, also showed consistent clinically meaningful improvements. The Sponsor included an optional R/C Substudy to allow: -- Eligible participants from Arm A (venetoclax + R) who had clinically progressed after finishing treatment, had not received new anti-CLL therapy, and were in need of treatment have the option to receive treatment with venetoclax + R again (re-treatment). This will allow the Sponsor to study the outcomes of participants who are re-treated with venetoclax + R following prior venetoclax + R treatment. -- Eligible participants from Arm B (BR) who had clinically progressed after finishing treatment, have not received new anti-CLL therapy, and are in need of treatment have the option to cross over and receive venetoclax + R given the results of the primary analysis demonstrating superior outcome for venetoclax + R treatment. - The study duration is extended for an additional 45 months to allow for the collection of long-term data including safety, PFS, and OS. At the primary read out, PFS and OS outcomes for participants in the venetoclax + R arm exceed original protocol expectations, thus requiring longer follow-up to enable estimation of a robust efficacy and median PFS.
    30 Mar 2018
    - The reporting of secondary malignancies has been extended after the reporting period to capture all events regardless of causality in order to satisfy health authority requirements. The rationale for biomarker assessments has been updated to include next-generation sequencing analysis. These analyses will provide a comprehensive characterization of genomics to enable the understanding of disease pathobiology. - Sample collection for peripheral blood minimal residual disease (MRD) samples has been extended until clinical progression because participants demonstrated persistent MRD negativity and there is a need to better understand the MRD kinetics over longer period of time.
