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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    - Determine the efficiency and safety of mesenchymal stem cells infusion in patients with steroid refractory or steroid-dependent GVHD of any type. - Analyze changes in immunological laboratory parameters after the administration of mesenchymal stem cells.
    Protection of trial subjects
    All subjects were fully informed about possible alternative therapies and had the opportunity to withdraw the informed consent at any time without affecting their further treatment. The patients were treated according to the standard procedures of the transplant center during the clinical trial. The administration of immunosuppressive drugs was not affected by the study, and the dose of corticosteroids was reduced after the achievement of clinical response (relief of GVHD). In case of insufficient MSC effect or progression of GVHD symptoms, the use of alternative immunosuppressive protocols was allowed.
    Background therapy
    All patients were provided with prophylactic immunosuppressive therapy based on cyclosporine or mycophenolate mofetil. Corticosteroid therapy was indicated as first-line treatment of GVHD in all patients (acute GVHD at a dose of 0.87 (0.14 - 1.90) mg / kg / day, chronic GVHD - 0.25 (0.10 - 0, 86) mg / kg / day).
    Evidence for comparator
    It was an uncontrolled single-center study. All patients enrolled in the study were treated with the advanced therapy medical product. Neither the control group withoud MSC administration nor the control group with other alternative treatment interventions were used as comparators. There were two reasons for the absence of a control group. First, the establishment of a control group would extend the period for obtaining the expected number of subjects and, in particular, the inclusion of subjects in the control arm would not be ethically correct given the available literature on the likely benefit of MSCs in the context of steroid-refractory GVHD. Literature data available for second-line treatment of steroid-refractory GVHD were used to evaluate the efficacy, and non-inferiority of therapy with MSCs was analysed.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    It was a single-center clinical trial and all patients screened for the study were treated at a single transplant center - Department of Hematology and Oncology, University Hospital Pilsen, Czech Republic. The first subject was enrolled in 3/2014, the last visit of the last enrolled subject took place in 10/2019.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The main criterion for entering the study was the condition after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for hematological malignancy and the development of first-line treatment refractory GVHD (steroid- refractory GVHD).

    Arm description
    Patients included into MSC arm were diagnosed with steroid-refractory or steroid-dependent GVHD after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. The participation of the subjects in the study began with the diagnosis of refractory GVHD and ended 12 months after MSC administration. The investigational medicinal product was the infusion of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells expanded in vitro.

    Dosage and administration details
    The medicinal product was a suspension of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells in saline and human albumin (FR 1/1 + HSA) in a dose ranging from 1.0 to 5.0 x 10e9 / kg and a volume of approximately 300 ml. The product was applied as a single infusion in most patients, a total of 38% of patients received more than one dose of MSCs (2 doses 9x, 3 doses 3x and 4 doses 3x).

    A non-inferiority test with the null hypothesis “new drug is as effective as the literature documented efficacy of standard treatment (set at 40% for aGVHD and 40% for cGVHD) was used for the analysis. An alternative hypothesis was - "new drug has a higher effectiveness than standard treatment". The non-inferiority margin was set at 5%. Standard treatment - effectiveness: 40%, non-inferiority margin: 5%.

    Adverse events

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    The occurrence of adverse events (AEs) was monitored during the period up to day +30 from the application of the medicinal product. Serious adverse events (SAEs) were monitored during 12 months follow-up.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    The incidence of infectious complications was monitored separately during the 12-month follow-up. All infectious complications were monitored, regardless of severity, ie some of them are documented concurrently as SAE. The reason for this methodology was a more comprehensive assessment of immunomodulatory effect of the medicinal product.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    10 Jun 2016
    In 2016, an amendment to the clinical trial protocol was approved (Amendment 01 dated 10 June 2016), which brought the following changes: - repeated MSC applications in patients with suboptimal clinical response allowed (up to 4 insusions) - the expected number of subjects increased to 40 - 50 - separate subanalysis of patients with aGVHD and chGVHD sheduled to evaluate the clinical response.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The design of the single-arm study does not allow an independent assessment of the effectiveness of MSCs; the evaluation is complicated by limited sample size and a large number of peri-transplant variables, that increase overall variability.
