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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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
    Major molecular response (MMR) by 12 months of treatment with second line Ponatinib treatment
    Protection of trial subjects
    The conduct of this study was in compliance with the Good Clinical Practice Guidelines and under the guiding principles detailed in the Declaration of Helsinki. The study was also carried out in keeping with applicable local law(s) and regulation(s). Patients who are treated within ponatinib may encounter ocular damage. Therefore, prior to study start, an ophthalmologist needs to confirm patients’ suitability for the study. During the course of the trial, patients need to be asked for any changes on visual acuity. In case a change is observed, an ophthalmologist again needs to be consulted in order to confirm that patient is safe to continue on the study.

    Dosage and administration details
    Starting dose of 30 mg (2 tablets à 15 mg) once daily. Doses might have been increased in case of inappropriate response or reduced to manage drug-related adverse events with re-escalation once events resolved. If a patient had reached a major molecular response (MMR), the dose reduction to 15 mg/day could have been considered. Patients remained on study until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurred.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: A maximum of 54 patients was planned to be treated. Based on historical data, the rate of MMR by 12 months in the 2nd line setting is approximately 0.3. The goal of therapy was to improve this to at least 0.5. With one-sided α-error rate of 0.025 and power of 0.8, z-test for binominal proportion with continuity adjustment was used.
