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   44293   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7351   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate superiority of ibrutinib over placebo in prolonging EFS for subjects with treatment-naïve CLL stage A and intermediate or (very) high risk of disease progression. All subjects with intermediate, (very) high risk randomized to the experimental treatment arm will be treated up to active progressive disease with treatment indication according to iwCLL-Guidelines with the objective to demonstrate prolongation of EFS for the ibrutinib arm.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Primary study endpoint:
    • EFS based on an internal medical review according to iwCLL guidelines
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The primary endpoint analysis for EFS will be conducted as soon as 71 EFS events have been documented for patients from the study arms II and III. Based on the current recruitment and observed event pattern this time point will likely be reached at the end of recruitment or closely thereafter (month 52 after FPI or later). Nonetheless, recruitment must be finished at the time of analysis. If the event number will be reached before, the analysis will be shifted to the end of recruitment.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary endpoints for treatment arms:
    - OS defined by the time between randomization and death due to any cause
    - Progression-free survival (PFS)
    - Treatment-free survival (TFS)
    - Type, response and duration of response to subsequent treatment for CLL
    - Safety (excluding second primary malignancies)
    - Assessment of medication-taking behavior (compliance to study mediacation)

    Secondary endpoints for all study arms
    - Overall survival (OS)
    - Other toxicities
    - Health quality and health outcome
    - exploratory endpoints

    Secondary endpoints for study arm I (watch&wait cohort)
    - OS defined by the time between completed registration and death due to any cause
    - Event-free survival
    - Time to first CLL treatment
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The secondary endpoint OS will be analyzed two years after the end of recruitment (approximately month 76) for the first time within one formal interim analysis for assessing both efficacy and futility (including non-binding boundaries).
    The final OS analysis will be conducted either as soon as 46 OS events have been observed or at the end of the study (90 months after randomization of the first subject).
    At this time-point, other secondary endpoints will be fully analyzed based on all patients from study arms I, II and III.
