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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    This study was conducted at 140 centers in 15 countries. The database cutoff date was August 3, 2020. Note: Due to administrative reasons (a noncompliant site), 2 participants in the Pembrolizumab plus SOC arm and one participant in the SOC arm, were recorded as "Ongoing in Trial" in the CSR Disposition Table and "Final Disposition Unknown" here.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    1. Had a confirmed diagnosis of active multiple myeloma and measurable disease as defined in the protocol. 2. Was ineligible to receive treatment with autologous stem cell transplant (auto-SCT) due to age (≥65 years old) or any significant coexisting medical condition. Subjects <65 years old who refused auto-SCT were not eligible for this study.

    The International Staging System (ISS) defines the factors that influence patient survival. The system has 3 stages based on the measurement of serum albumin and the levels of serum β2-microglobulin (β2-M). Stage I: β2-M <3.5 mg/L with a serum albumin of 3.5 g/dL or more; Stage II: Either of these 2 criteria: β2-M between 3.5 mg/L and 5.5 mg/dL Albumin <3.5 g/dL; Stage III: β2-M >5.5 mg/L.

    Progression Free Survival (PFS) Evaluated According to the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) Response Criteria 2011 by Clinical Adjudication Committee (CAC) Blinded Central Review
    End point description
    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression (events of new bone lesions, soft tissue plasmacytomas or an increase in existing lesions, or death due to any cause). The median PFS was calculated from the product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) method for censored data. A relatively small number of events resulted in high variabilities and the inability to estimate certain parameters (i.e. medians and confidence limits). A value of "9999" indicates that at the time of data cut-off parameters could not be estimated. The analysis population included all randomized participants. Participants were included in the treatment group to which they were randomized. The data cutoff date was July 9, 2018.

    Overall Survival (OS)
    End point description
    OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. OS was calculated from the product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) method for censored data. Participants without documented death at the time of the final analysis were censored at the date of the last follow-up. This is an event-driven (events of death) outcome measure. "9999" indicates that at the time of data cut-off, there were an insufficient number of events from the censored data to be able to estimate certain parameters (e.g. medians). The analysis population included all randomized participants. Participants were included in the treatment group to which they were randomized. The data cutoff date was August 3, 2020.

    Duration of Response (DOR) Evaluated According to IMWG Response Criteria by CAC Blinded Central Review
    End point description
    Response duration was defined as the time from first documented evidence of at least a partial response (sCR+CR+VGPR+PR]), until confirmed disease progression or death. DOR was calculated from product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) method for censored data. This is an event-driven (events of disease progression and death) outcome measure. "9999" indicates that at the time of data cut-off, there were an insufficient number of events from the censored data to be able to estimate certain parameters (e.g. medians). Full Range is the minimum and maximum of the observed duration of response. The analysis population included all randomized participants who demonstrated at least a partial response. Participants were included in the treatment group to which they were randomized. The data cutoff date was July 9, 2018.

    Second Progression Free Survival (PFS2)
    End point description
    PFS2 was defined as the time from randomization to subsequent disease progression after initiation of new anti-cancer therapy, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first, by investigator assessment. PFS was assessed by Clinical Adjudication Committee (CAC) blinded central review according to the IMWG response criteria based on the development of new bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas or on a definite increase in the size of existing bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas. The analysis population included all randomized participants. Participants were included in the treatment group to which they were randomized. PFS2 was not completed due to incomplete enrollment for a clinical hold and study cancellation.
