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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The safety profile of blinatumomab after frontline R-chemotherapy, consisting of either R-CHOP (14 or 21) or R-DA-EPOCH or R-CHOEP, will be determined.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) regulations and guidelines, and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, and guidelines set forth in 21 CFR Parts 11, 50, 54, 56, and 312. All subjects provided written informed consent before undergoing any study-related procedures, including screening procedures. The study protocol, amendments, and the informed consent form (ICF) were reviewed by the Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and Independent Ethics Committees (IECs). No subjects were recruited into the study and no investigational product (IP) was shipped until the IRB/IEC gave written approval of the protocol and ICF and Amgen received copies of these approvals.

    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: The number of subject reported in the baseline period reflects the number of participants who completed the run-in period and who started the blinatumomab treatment period.
    [2] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: Participants received Cycle 2 treatment at the Investigator's discretion.

    Overall Objective Response Rate (ORR) Expressed as the Percentage of Participants Achieving Complete Metabolic Response (CMR) and Partial Metabolic Response (PMR) Using Lugano 2014 Criteria During Cycle 1 and During Treatment Period
    End point description
    Tumor response assessment was performed by a central reader according to modified Lugano classification using PET/CT scan. Overall objective response rate (ORR) is the percentage of participants with a best overall response of complete metabolic response (CMR) or partial metabolic response (PMR). CMR: a score of 1 (no uptake above background), 2 (uptake </=mediastinum), or 3 (uptake <mediastinum but </=liver) with/without a residual mass on PET 5-PS, for lymph nodes and extralymphatic sites; no new lesions; no evidence of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid disease in bone marrow; and normal/IHC-negative bone marrow morphology. PMR: a score 4 (uptake moderately greater than [>] liver) or 5 (uptake markedly >liver and/or new lesions) with reduced uptake compared with baseline and residual mass(es) of any size on PET 5-PS for lymph nodes and extralymphatic sites; no new lesions; and reduced residual uptake in bone marrow compared with baseline.

    Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Duration of Response (DOR)
    End point description
    DOR was calculated only for responders during cycle 1. For participants who had CR or PR on the PET/CT scan at the end of the run-in period, response was measured from the start of blinatumomab treatment. For participants who had SD at the end of the run-in period, duration was calculated from documentation of the first assessment of either PR or CR on blinatumomab. Progression was defined as the first diagnosis of progressive metabolic response/progressive disease based on PET/CT scan per central or investigator review during the treatment period or relapse based on clinical tumor assessment during the long-term follow up. Duration was calculated until the start of new anti-tumor treatment (excluding any stem cell transplantation), PD, or death, whichever was the earliest event. Participants who did not have new anti-tumor treatment (excluding stem cell transplantation), PD, or death were censored at the last tumor assessment date. 9999=not estimable due to low number of events

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    28 Feb 2017
    This amendment was not submitted to the regulatory agency.
    11 May 2017
    This amendment reflects changes made to the original protocol in Amendments 1 and 2. The protocol was aligned to changes made in the other diffuse large B-cell lymphoma protocols (Studies 20150292 and 20140286) with respect to safety assessments and dose interruptions and stopping criteria. Sample size was reduced to support consideration of the study as a pilot study. The following points were clarified: -Run-in period treatment -Timing and frequency for evaluation of tumor response -Subjects with progressive disease are not eligible for treatment with blinatumomab -Toxicity monitoring and management and permanent discontinuation criteria -All grades 3 and 4 laboratory abnormalities were to be recorded as adverse events The Schedule of Assessments was updated to clarify for procedures during the screening and run-in phase and to provide clear guidance for cycle 1 and cycle 2 periods. The list of disease-related events was updated. The assessment of blinatumomab pharmacokinetics was changed from an exploratory objective and endpoint to a secondary objective and endpoint. The assessment of overall survival was added in the clinical hypothesis and as a secondary endpoint. Typographical and formatting changes were made throughout the protocol.
    03 Jun 2018
    The following points were clarified: -Grade 4 hematologic toxicity and grade 4 laboratory abnormalities lasting ≥ 7 days exclude lymphopenia -Subjects would be excluded from receiving blinatumomab if there was evidence of central nervous system involvement with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma at evaluation before starting blinatumomab -When vital signs would be obtained for hospitalized subjects versus subjects in the outpatient clinic -What assessments in the Schedule of Assessments should be obtained after restart of continuous intravenous infusion of blinatumomab after interruption requiring dose modification. Administration, typographical, and formatting changes were made throughout the protocol.
