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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.

    Clinical Trial Results:
    A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-design, multi-centre study to investigate the efficacy to reduce chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN), effects on the haematopoietic system, safety and pharmacokinetics of Myelo001 in patients receiving adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy for the treatment of breast cancer

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the efficacy of repeated doses of Myelo001 100 mg tablets taken once per day (QD) per os (p.o.) to reduce chemotherapy induced neutropenia (CIN) in patients receiving chemotherapy for the treatment of breast cancer
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki (2008) and that are consistent with International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines (ICH E6) and applicable local regulatory requirements and laws. The clinical study protocol and informed consent forms were reviewed and approved by an Independent Ethics Committee (IEC). Safety assessments used in this study included standard measurements that are used routinely in clinical studies of investigational drugs, such as assessment of AEs, physical examinations, vital signs, ECGs, and clinical laboratory evaluations. A Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) evaluated patients' safety in scheduled intervals.
    Background therapy
    Neoadjuvant or adjuvant standard of care poly-chemotherapy regimen containing anthracyclines in combination with cyclophosphamide (CP) defined as EC standard regimen (with or without treatment with taxanes afterwards) served as inclusion criterion. The EC standard regimen the patient needed to be assigned for prior to being informed about the trial was Epirubicin (E) combined with CP: Epirubicin 90 mg/m² BSA (body surface area) + CP 600 mg/m² BSA q21d (every 21 days). Permitted taxane treatments after EC standard regime were paclitaxel (P) and docetaxel (D).
    Evidence for comparator
    In this phase 2a trial, Myelo001 was compared to placebo only.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The trial was conducted at multiple trial sites in Germany. Patients were recruited from March 2016 to September 2017.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    145 patients consented to participate. 1 patient withdraw consent prior to screening. 3 patients were not eligible to participate in the study, because inclusion criterion 8 was not met (Haematologic, laboratory and chemistry thresholds at baseline). 4 patients declined participation in the study after screening. 137 patients were enrolled.

    Arm title
    Myelo001
    Arm description
    Patients received Myelo001 (100 mg) once daily orally for scheduled 23 days from 5 days prior to the first chemotherapy cycle until 3 days prior to the second chemotherapy cycle (epirubicin/cyclophosphamide). The first batch of the investigational medicinal product (IMP) was exchanged with an exchange IMP batch after 49 patients were randomized. Altogether, 67 patients were treated with Myelo001. Of these, 26 patients were treated with Myelo001 tablets (#216) of the initial IMP batch and are referred in post-hoc analyses as subgroup Myelo001 IMP Batch 1. The other 41 patients were treated with Myelo001 tablets (#416) of the exchange IMP batch and are referred as subgroup Myelo001 IMP Batch 2. After no positive treatment effect was evident from the main study results (per protocol set: 65 patients treated with Myelo001), the sponsor authorized further statistical analyses of the effects of the two sets of batches. The statistical analyses were identical for main and subgroups.

    Patients took Myelo001 (100 mg), one tablet orally daily around the same time in the morning. Intake started 5 days prior to the first chemotherapy treatment cycle and was continued until 3 days prior to the second chemotherapy cycle. Based on the standard schedule of the epirubicin/cyclophosphamide chemotherapy selected for this trial, investigational medicinal product intake was 23 days. If the start of the second chemotherapy cycle was delayed, the investigator could decide to prolong Myelo001 treatment to a maximum intake duration of 28 days.

    Placebo
    Arm description
    Patients received matching placebo once daily orally for scheduled 23 days from 5 days prior to the first chemotherapy cycle until 3 days prior to the second chemotherapy cycle (epirubicin/cyclophosphamide). The first batch of the investigational medicinal product (IMP) was exchanged with an exchange IMP batch after 49 patients were randomized. Altogether, 67 patients were treated with placebo. Of these, 23 patients were treated with placebo tablets (#116) of the initial IMP batch and are referred in post-hoc analyses as subgroup Placebo IMP Batch 1. The other 44 patients were treated with placebo tablets (#316) of the exchange IMP batch and are referred as subgroup Placebo IMP Batch 2. After no positive treatment effect was evident from the main study results (per protocol set: 65 patients treated with placebo), the sponsor authorized further statistical analyses of the effects of the two sets of batches. The statistical analyses were identical for main and subgroups.

    Adverse event reporting additional description
    134 patients were included into the safety analysis set (SAS). During the full trial period, in total 1014 adverse events were reported for the patients of the SAS. Of the adverse event total, 684 (67.5%) were assessed by the investigators as toxicity event related to the background treatment with anti-cancer chemotherapy drugs.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    12 Jul 2016
    In the process of implementing the clinical trial a few changes to the protocol became necessary to add precision and facilitate the per protocol conduct of the trial. The overall trial design remained unchanged. Notable changes included: • Permission to draw the blood sample a day earlier for baseline assessment and urine pregnancy testing as an alternative to analysis in serum • Change of visit schedule allowing shifts by +/- 1 day for certain study visits • Permission to substitute the baseline serum pregnancy test for an equivalent urine pregnancy test (local lab only) • Clarification that the use of (low-dose) dexamethasone for antiemetic use does not fall under the exclusion criteria and definition of maximum dose to achieve an equilibrium of the hematopoietic influence of dexamethasone • Adjustment of laboratory sample volumes to maximum amounts required by the two permitted systems • Consistency in the text that adverse events are followed up from first (screening) to last visit (EOS)
    17 Aug 2017
    Changes are mainly related to the statistical analyses and endpoint section. No procedure for the patient or investigators were changed. The most important changes include: • Revision of primary endpoint(s): Two co-primary endpoints were added • Revision of primary statistical test procedure • Addition of secondary endpoints • Sample size adjustment based on revised statistical procedure • Revised definition of the analysis sets (Revised Full Analysis Set and Per Protocol Set) Importantly, all protocol changes did not entail any procedural or interventional changes, but deepen or expand the analysis of the data generated from existing study procedures.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
