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   43870   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7289   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
    This study aims to describe Treosulfan PK in children and infants undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation and to determine if this is a significant variable in determining transplant outcome. The primary objective of the study is to assess PK parameters after Treosulfan infusion in children prior to allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
    Protection of trial subjects
    In conducting the trial, the Sponsor and sites shall comply with all laws and statutes, as amended from time to time, applicable to the performance of clinical trials including, but not limited to: • the principles of ICH Harmonised Tripartite Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (CPMP/ICH/135/95) as set out in Schedule 1 (Conditions and Principles of Good Clinical Practice and for the Protection of Clinical Trial Subjects) of the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations 2004 and the GCP Directive 2005/28/EC, as set out in SI 2006/1928 • the Human Rights Act 1998 • the Data Protection Act 1998 • the Freedom of Information Act 2000 • the Human Tissue Act 2004 • the Medicines Act 1968 • the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) UK Regulations SI 2004/1031, and subsequent amendments • Good Manufacturing Practice • the Research Governance Framework for Health and Social Care, issued by the UK Department of Health (Second Edition 2005) or the Scottish Health Department Research Governance Framework for Health and Community Care (Second Edition 2006) The trial will be conducted in accordance with the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki entitled ‘Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects’ (1996 version), ICH Good Clinical Practice Guidelines and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the ethical approval given to the trial. The trial has received a favourable opinion from the Research Ethics Committee. CI has submitted Annual Progress Reports to the REC, which will commence one year from the date of ethical approval for the trial. All subjects/guardians were provided informed consent prior to entering the study . The investigator was responsible for explaining the benefits and risk of the participation in the study to each subject's legal representative for obtaining informed consent.
    Background therapy
    Treosulfan is a busulfan analogue with a different mechanism of action and is widely used in the allo-HSCT setting. Whilst busulfan is a direct DNA alkylating agent, treosulfan is a prodrug with alkylating activity mediated by its main epoxybutane derivatives requiring a pH and temperature-dependent non-enzymatic two-step process to form first the mono and then diepoxide. Since the first report of treosulfan-based conditioning in paediatric allo-HSCT in 2002, this drug has been increasingly used off-label in children, largely due to a perceived wide therapeutic index and a lower propensity to cause hepatotoxicity (in particular veno-occlusive disease) than busulfan. The aim of this study was to characterise the PKPD profile of treosulfan in children undergoing allo-HSCT in an investigator-initiated, multicentre phase II clinical trial.

    The primary end point was to measure Treosulfan PK and the secondary endpoint was to assess its short term toxicity, graft failure and mortality. Furthermore measures and models of efficacy (engraftment) and toxicity will be tested against PK parameters to ascertain dose/concentration-response relationships. These comparisons will be done by comparing the x2 distributed objective function value (OFV) between nested models, with the addition of one parameter giving a drop in OFV of 3.84 at a significance level of p <0.05.
