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   44346   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7374   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
    The main objective of the study was to evaluate If daratumumab can effectively decrease Myeloma (M) protein in subjects with intermediate or high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) as assessed by complete response (CR) rate, and to determine if daratumumab reduced the progression or death rate in subjects with intermediate or high-risk SMM.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with Good Clinical Practices and applicable regulatory requirements.

    Subjects received daratumumab 16 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) as intravenous (IV) infusion once every week (Q1W) (Days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43 & 50) in Cycle 1, every other week (Q2W) (Days 1, 15, 29 and 43) in Cycle 2 and 3, every 4 weeks (Q4W) (Days 1 and 29) in Cycle 4 to 7, and on Day 1 from Cycle 8 to 20. Each treatment cycle was of 8 weeks. After Cycle 20, per investigator’s discretion, subjects either entered into extension phase (EP) or completed end of treatment visit 4 weeks after last dose. In EP, subjects continued to receive daratumumab IV (Q8W) after end of Cycle 20 up to 91.6 months, and then completed end of treatment visit 4 weeks after last dose. After protocol amendment 5, subjects in EP optionally switched to daratumumab 1800 mg subcutaneous (SC) Q8W per investigator’s discretion. After end of treatment, subjects were followed up for safety until death, lost to follow up, consent withdrawal/study end, whichever occurred first (up to 7.89 years).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    20 Jan 2015
    The purpose of the amendment 1 was to add administration of steroids for 2 days post infusion, as a safety precaution and in line with other single agent studies of daratumumab.
    27 Jul 2015
    The purpose of the amendment 2 was to address feedback from health authorities and investigators and to include the clarification of requirements for radiologic assessment to reduce exposure, addition of a disease evaluation to capture early response, adjustment of the entry criteria and visit windows, as well as other minor edits throughout the protocol.
    20 Jun 2017
    The purpose of the amendment 3 was to incorporate changes from practical experience with implementing study evaluations and to address feedback from investigators and the steering committee and to include the clarification that a subject with disease progression, assessed by serum FLC only, may continue to receive study treatment if the subject continues to show clinical benefit per investigator assessment and if agreed upon by the sponsor.
    28 Jan 2019
    The purpose of the amendment 4 was to allow extended treatment with IV daratumumab (Q8W) after 20 treatment cycles in long intense (Arm A) and intermediate arm (Arm B) if, as per investigator discretion, there is a positive benefit/risk ratio, absence of Grade >=3 treatment related toxicity, and at least stable disease has been achieved. In the case of subjects who already completed end of treatment and the end of Cycle 20 occurred <6 months, these subjects can continue receiving IV daratumumab administrations every 8 weeks.
    01 Apr 2020
    The purpose of the amendment 5 was 1) to extend the study duration and 2) to provide flexibility for study investigators as it relates to the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
    29 Mar 2021
    The purpose of the amendment 6 was to extend the study duration up to a maximum of 7 years following Last Patient First Dose (LPFD) by redefining the End of Study.
