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 ).

PFS was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier methodology. BCL-2 expression was determined through central laboratory testing by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and based on a pre-specified scoring algorithm. High clinical score of 2+: ≥50% of tumor cells with moderate or higher cytoplasmic staining but < 50% of tumor cells with strong staining intensity; high clinical score of 3+: ≥50% of tumor cells with strong cytoplasmic staining.

    Mean Change From Baseline in Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form (BPI-SF) Worst Pain
    End point description
    The BPI-SF is a pain-specific measure developed to assess patient-reported severity (or intensity) of pain (4 items) and the impact of pain on daily functioning (7 items) in patients with cancer pain. The four pain severity items assess pain at its "worst in last 24 hours," "least in last 24 hours," "average," and "now" (current pain). For these items, participants are asked to rate their pain on an 11-point numeric rating scale with anchors of 0 (no pain) and 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). The Worst Pain scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating severe pain. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement. 99999 in the table below indicates not calculable/estimable due to n=1 subject

    Mean Change From Baseline in Physical Functioning Scale of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30)
    End point description
    The QLQ-C30 is a 30-item subject self-report questionnaire composed of both multi-item and single scales, including five functional scales (physical, role, emotional, social, and cognitive), three symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), a global health status/quality of life scale, and six single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). For the Physical Functioning scale, participants rate five items on a four-point scale, with 1 as "not at all" and 4 as "very much." The Physical Functioning Scale scores range from 0 to 100 and were calculated per the EORTC QLQ-C30 Scoring Manual (3rd edition), version 3.0. A high scale score represents high/healthy level of functioning. Positive changes from baseline indicate improvement. 99999 in the table below indicates not calculable/estimable due to n=1 subject

    Mean Change From Baseline in Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System [PROMIS] Cancer Fatigue Short Form [SF] Score
    End point description
    PROMIS Cancer Fatigue SF is a seven item questionnaire that assesses the impact and experience of fatigue over the past 7 days. All questions employ the following five response options: 1 = Not at all, 2 = A little bit, 3 = Somewhat, 4 = Quite a bit, and 5 = Very much. The total raw score is the sum of the responses to each question and is converted to a T-score. The T-score re-scales the total raw score to a standardized score with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. The [PROMIS] Cancer Fatigue Short Form [SF] 7a T-Scores range from 29.4 to 83.2, with higher scores indicating more fatigue. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement. In the table below, 99999 indicates not calculable/estimable due to low numbers of participants with events.

    Overall Survival (OS)
    End point description
    OS is defined as the number of days from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. All events of death were to be included, regardless of whether the event occurred while the participant was still taking study drug or after the participant discontinued study drug. If a participant is not known to have died, OS was censored at the date of last contact. The distribution of OS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology. In the table below, 999 and 99999 indicate not calculable/estimable due to low numbers of participants with events.

    End point description
    MRD negativity rate is defined as the percentage of participants who have negative MRD by bone marrow aspirate at any time point after randomization and before progression or starting subsequent therapy. MRD negativity was defined at 10^–5 threshold (less than one residual myeloma cell per 10^5 total nucleated cells) as measured by centralized testing of bone marrow aspirate by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). MRD positive participants include those of which all tested samples were found to be MRD positive or indeterminate. Participants with missing or unevaluable MRD status were considered as MRD positive.

    Date
    Amendment
    16 Jun 2017
    Amendment 1 ●Updated number of subjects enrolled from approximately 240 to approximately 280 ●Clarified that procedures that are completed as standard of care within 7 days of consent may be considered for screening ●Updated Overall Study Design and Plan: Description –Treatment to reflect window for visits, language for dosing diaries and study-treatment dosing compliance ●Clarified that the requirement of the consumption of water (subjects are to drink 1 –2 liters of water daily) for 3 days prior to first dose of treatment is a daily requirement, to reduce risk of TLS ●Added additional birth control methods and revised male contraceptive requirement ●Removed "oligo-secretory" condition from Exclusion Criterion 3 ●Clarified the radiotherapy and corticosteroid exclusionary requirement in Exclusion Criterion 8 ●Clarified requirement of antiviral pretreatment ●Provided window for completion of baseline Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO) assessments and limited timeframe for completion of all subsequent PROs ●Clarified that survival and post treatment information will be collected beginning on date of progression ●Removed requirement of date and time of blood sample collection recorded on the eCRF ●Added screening requirement of plasmacytoma evaluation for clarification ●Clarified that dose capping and rounding of bortezomib is acceptable; removed 2 hour dosing window of bortezomib ●Allowed delays of up to 7 days in the initiation of a cycle due to toxicity or scheduling issues ● Revised Dose Reductions and Treatment Guidelines for Toxicity Related to Bortezomib table to include detailed instructions for grade 1 with pain or grade 2 toxicities ●Added that laboratory reference ranges must be entered into EDC ●Revised Appendix K, Tumor Lysis Syndrome Classification-- remove footnote pertaining to ULN and ages below 18 and clarified corrected serum calcium equation
    15 Dec 2017
    Amendment 2 ●Targeted number of PFS events was increased from 110 to approximately 136 to gather more data on PFS to ensure more reliable assessment of treatment effect ●Targeted number of PFS events for efficacy interim analysis was increased from 83 to approximately 109 to ensure more robust assessment of treatment effect at the interim analyses ●Restored Exclusion Criterion 11--"Male subject who is considering fathering a child or donating sperm during the study or for approximately 90 days after the last dose of study drug" ●Clarified the definition of minimum increase in the size of plasmacytoma required for determination of progressive disease ●Clarified dexamethasone dosing when bortezomib dosing schedule is modified ●Ensured accurate measurement of the disease response endpoints ●Revised text to align with updated IMWG recommendations for MRD evaluations
    09 Mar 2018
    Amendment 3 ●Removed interim analysis per Sponsor discretion ●Added "Start of new anti-cancer therapy prior to PD/death" as an additional scenario for censoring scenario for time to event analysis ●Updated Appendix G –Schedule of Assessments –Follow-up for clarity
    09 Jan 2019
    Amendment 4 ●Updated Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO) Assessments to re-name ePROs performed out of protocol window as Unscheduled ●Updated management of venetoclax in cases of vomiting according to new venetoclax guidance ●Included the possibility of a generic bortezomib ● Changed the number of overall survival events at the final OS analysis and number of interim analyses for OS; and updated the power calculations for OS after these changes, reducing to 116 from 170 to allow earlier final OS analysis. One additional OS interim analysis based on 75% of total targeted OS events was introduced to assess treatment effect on OS before the final OS analysis. ●Updated P-gp inhibitor examples according to new venetoclax guidance
    15 Mar 2019
    Amendment 5 ●Updated Section 3.3, Nonclinical Pharmacology and Clinical Data and Section 3.5, Benefits and Risks and included recent data from the primary endpoint analysis from this study (Study M14-031, Bellini Study) where a higher proportion of deaths possibly related to infections was observed in the venetoclax arm ●Updated to include antibiotic prophylaxis, infection management, and pneumococcal and influenza vaccine guidance for subjects receiving venetoclax in combination with a proteasome inhibitor based on this study (Study M14-031, Bellini Study) where a higher proportion of deaths possibly related to infections was observed in the venetoclax arm ●Updated to allow more frequent collection of the secondary endpoint of Overall Survival
    24 Sep 2019
    Amendment 6 ●Updated Section 3.3, Nonclinical Pharmacology and Clinical Data, removing information from the protocol that is referenced in the most current version of the Investigator's Brochure ●Revised antibiotic prophylaxis and pneumococcal and influenza vaccine guidance in order to align with IDMC recommendations, added additional infection management strategies ●Clarified allowable corticosteroid use while on study treatment ●Allowed for collection of more detailed data on deaths that occur in the non-treatment emergent setting to further evaluate the cause of death of subjects in the progression or survival follow up period
    20 Apr 2020
    Amendment 7 ●Revised pneumococcal and influenza vaccine guidance in order to align with IDMC recommendations ●Clarified the study drug nomenclature ●Updated the information in the protocol for clarity and alignment based on the results of the primary progression free survival analysis
    16 Dec 2020
    Amendment 8 ●Noted that COVID-19 related risks are not expected to differ substantially between study subjects and broader population of subjects receiving treatment for multiple myeloma ●Provided COVID-19 pandemic-related protocol modifications ●Noted that final OS analysis is planned for when about 116 OS events occur. All objectives specified in protocol will be completed with the final OS analysis and therefore 1) maintaining study blind is not required 2) all data considered for analysis per protocol can be considered mature ●Provided treatment flexibility with bortezomib and dexamethasone dosing per investigator decision once subjects are unblinded ●Simplified study-related procedures for subjects in Arm 2 (Placebo + Bd) at time of unblinding, as these measures may no longer be applicable to them ●Noted that once subjects are unblinded and final OS analysis is complete, IDMC supervision will be complete; AbbVie will continue to monitor subjects' safety ●Provided updated end of study guidance ●Clarified that after unblinding, subjects who are benefiting from study treatment can continue in the study as, due to the partial clinical hold, they are not able to be rolled over into an extension study ●Clarified that imaging scans are no longer required to be sent to an independent central imaging vendor because 1) the planned primary progression free survival analysis was completed at the first interim analysis; 2) the primary progression free survival/response data is considered mature with no further changes expected ●Clarified that since objectives specified in the protocol will be completed with the final OS analysis and, from a statistics/scientific perspective, keeping the study blinded following the final OS analysis is not needed, the study can be unblinded once final OS analysis is complete ●Defined Last Subject Last Visit at the time the number of OS events required for the final OS analysis is reached
