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
    1. Is tefinostat (CHR-2845) safe and tolerable for patients with CMML? 2. Is tefinostat clinically effective in CMML? (primary efficacy endpoint will be overall clinical response rate according to the International Consortium MDS/MPN Response Criteria).
    Protection of trial subjects
    All subjects remained under the care of a hematological consultant.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Recruitment began in January 2017. 21 patients were enrolled into the study, 2 were excluded (one was ineligible and one was recruited in error after recruitment freeze), 19 received at least 1 dose of tefinostat, 1 was excluded from toxicity analysis, 13 were discontinued and then 6 were included in efficacy analysis.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The following screening assessments should be performed prior to registration and within 28 days of commencing the first cycle of tefinostat therapy (days -28 to 0): Medical history and demographics, physical examination, ECG, pregnancy test and contraception, hematology, biochemistry, urinalysis, quality of life.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: One patient enrolled in the trial was ineligible and therefore was not included in the baseline period.

    The primary clinical efficacy objective of the study is to determine overall response rate after 6 cycles of tefinostat. It is felt that if the overall response rate is below 10% the treatment should be rejected, and if above 30% the treatment is sufficiently promising to warrant further evaluation in a phase III trial.
