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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    To evaluate the efficacy of novel Pegylated-Pro Interferon α-2b formulation in terms of response rate in both, Interferon naive and pretreated patients with early primary myelofibrosis (MF-0 to MF-1). The favourable pharmacokinetic profile of AOP2014 suggests possible dose reduction and/or treatment interval prolongation options, which, at preserved efficacy, may improve the tolerability of IFN α treatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    AOP2014 belongs to the interferon substance class that is effectively able to suppress the malignant of myeloid precursor cells and subsequently is expected to possibly adjourn or avoid long term sequel to thrombosis, transformation into overt myelofibrosis and transformation into acute leukemia. The tolerability of peg-IFN-α-2b might potentially have a positive impact on reducing the drop-out rate compared to conventional IFNs. It’s expected that the reduced administration frequency of peg-IFN-α-2b will contribute to higher compliance rates. The safety profile of interferon alpha is well characterised after clinical experience for nearly 20 years. No additional new adverse drug reactions are expected using this third generation of interferon alpha. It is an effective drug for treating PV with acceptable toxicity28. Since the dose is carefully titrated to the optimal effective dose, no additional risks for the patients are expected.

    Recruitment details
    Patients where eligible to enter the study if they had a confirmed diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis (grade MF-0 and MF-1) according to the 2008 WHO criteria. This included either newly diagnosed Interferon naive patients or patients pre-treated with Pegasys® or PegIntron®, who had stable disease for the previous 3 months.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Written informed consent; Patients age ≥18 years; Confirmed diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis (grade MF-0 and MF-1) ; patients of childbearing potential need a negative pregnancy test; ECOG ≤ 2

    The initial dose of AOP2014 applied to Interferon pre-treated patients will be determined for each patient individually and it will depend of his/her current treatment dose of either Pegasys® or PegIntron. The dose of AOP2014 will be calculated according to the formula: AOP2014 (µg) = Patient’s current treatment dose Pegasys® /PegIntron® (µg)* 0.7.

    Subject analysis set description
    For this analysis, patient data were evaluated after the first 6 months of therapy. Descriptive statistics are used to present data on clinical parameters. Since the study cohort comprised of patients who were previously treated with an interferon compound as well as patients who had not received an interferon yet, these two groups are used for comparative investigations. Statistically, the two groups did not differ. Although treatment-naive patients tended to present higher thrombocyte, hemoglobin and LDH values, no statistically significant difference could be found, which can be explained by the cytoreductive effect of previous intereron treatments.

    For this analysis, patient data were evaluated after the first 6 months of therapy. Descriptive statistics are used to present data on clinical parameters. Since the study cohort comprised of patients who were previously treated with an interferon compound as well as patients who had not received an interferon yet, these two groups are used for comparative investigations. Statistically, the two groups did not differ. Although treatment-naive patients tended to present higher thrombocyte, hemoglobin and LDH values, no statistically significant difference could be found, which can be explained by the cytoreductive effect of previous intereron treatments.

    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: All adverse effects which occurred in the first six months of treatment are summarized in table 6. Generally, pre-treated patients suffered from fewer side effects than treatment-naïve patients in every category. This may be due to the fact that pre-treated patients had already been exposed to an interferon in previous treatment regimen whereas treatment-naïve patients had not. No information about AE grading is stated, as the data was insufficient to perform any meaningful evaluation.
