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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    - Trial part I: To investigate whether a higher dose of daunorubicin in induction chemotherapy leads to an in-crease in good responders defined as having <5% myeloid blasts on day 15 after start of induction - Trial part II: To investigate whether the rate of CR/CRi after single induction is similar to that after double induction in patients with a good response to induction I.
    Protection of trial subjects
    In the responsibility of the investigator, subjects were closely monitored during this study. Via the safety desk, the coordinating investigator on behalf of the sponsor reviewed all reported SAEs for reasonable suspected causal relationship to the investigational treatment.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Newly diagnosed or secondary acute myeloid leukemia in adult patients ≤ 65 years of age. Study inclusion occurred after the initial diagnosis of AML, the inclusion and exclusion criteria were checked and the study was included with subsequent randomization/registration.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Srceening examinations were done to determine the patients eligibility for the study within 7 days before study entry.

    Daunorubicin 90 mg/m2 BSA infusion over 60 minutes days 3-5 Cytarabine 100 mg/m2 BSA cont. infusion over 24 hours days 1-7 The Full Analysis Set is reported. The FAS consisted of all patients that were randomised in part 1 and not excluded according to principles outlined in the ICH E9 guideline4 section 5.2.1. Deviating from the statistical analysis plan an additional ITT population was defined post-hoc to be able to analyse all patients who received their first induction within the trial. This ITT population consists of all FAS patients (randomized) plus patients who received DA60 after the protocol amendment following the interim analysis for trial part 1 (non-randomized). After the interim analysis the DA90 arm was stopped and standard treatement was declared DA60 for all subsequent patients.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    31 Mar 2017
    - Randomization in trial part I suspended after results of preplanned interim analysis and offer all patients the standard dose of 60 mg/m2 daunorubicin in both induction cycles (part I and II of the trial) - Study treatment will be changed – DA90 will be removed, all patients receive the standard dose of 60mg/m2 daunorubicin (DA60) - According to low study-specific risk due to the reduced daunorubicin dose in part I of the trial, all trial-related risks have been removed from the protocol and there are no intervention-related cardiac risks associated with trial participation. Therefore, visits 2-6; 9-12 and the drop out visit are not necessary and have been removed from visit schedule. In visit 7,8 and 13, the study specific assessments (such as echocardiography, ECG, cardiac markers, bilirubine and creatinine measures) were deleted. - Inclusion age raised to 65 years based on the current German treatment guidelines in which patients up to the age of 65 are considered eligible for intensive induction chemotherapy with DA60 [Onkopedia-Leitlinie 2017] -Based on the results of interim analysis of part I of the trial, statistics were updated to reflect the changes in protocol version 5.0 (section 11.0). Protocol version 5.0 includes all amendments to the trial protocol.
