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   43857   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 ).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 310 patients with SR-aGvHD were enrolled, out of which 309 patients were included in the analysis (as one patient did not sign the study informed consent prior to receiving BAT (protocol deviation) and was excluded from all analyses). Completed = Completed the treatment period Not completed = Discontinued from treatment period

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The screening period ranged from Day -28 to Day -1. Screening activities and assessment of inclusion and exclusion criteria began once the patient was diagnosed with aGvHD. Any occurrence of SR-aGvHD was monitored closely.

    Notes
    [1] - 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: These were patients who were never treated with study drug
    [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: These were only the patients who crossed over from BAT to study drug - ruxolitinib. Patients from ruxolitinib did not cross over to BAT.
    [3] - 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: Not all patients were in the long term follow up.

    Overall response rate at Day 28 after randomization was defined as the percentage participants in each arm demonstrating a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), based on investigator assessment & according to standard criteria, without requirement for additional systemic therapies for an earlier progression, mixed response or non-response. Scoring of response was relative to the organ stage at the time of randomization. CR was defined as a score of 0 for the aGvHD grading in all evaluable organs that indicates complete resolution of all signs & symptoms of aGvHD in all evaluable organs without administration of additional systemic therapies for any earlier progression, mixed response or non-response of aGvHD. PR was defined as improvement of 1 stage in 1 or more organs involved with aGvHD signs or symptoms without progression in other organs or sites without administration of additional systemic therapies for an earlier progression, mixed response or non-response of aGvHD.

    Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs): Change from Baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Bone Marrow Transplantation (FACT-BMT) Total score
    End point description
    The Functional assessment of Cancer Therapy – Bone Marrow Transplant (FACT-BMT) is a 50-item self-report questionnaire that measures the effect of a therapy on domains including physical, functional, social/family and emotional well-being, together with additional concerns relevant for bone marrow transplantation patients. Patients are requested to indicate their response on a scale of 0 to 4 on each statement. Depending on the statement, 0 or 4 may mean the best or worst feeling. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, median, Q1, Q3, minimum, and maximum) were calculated based on the scored scales at each scheduled assessment time point. Additionally, change from baseline in the scores at the time of each assessment were also calculated. Missing items data in a scale were handled based on each instrument manual. No imputation were applied if the total or subscale scores are missing at a visit.

    Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs): Change from Baseline in EuroQol-5D-5L UK Score
    End point description
    The EQ-5D descriptive classification consists of five dimensions of health: mobility, self-care, usual activities, anxiety/depression and pain/discomfort. Patients are requested to select the statement which best describes their condition on that day for each dimension. For overall health that day, the EuroQoL-5D-5L scale is numbered from 0 to 100, with 100 being the best health you can imagine and 0 being the worst health you can imagine. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, median, Q1, Q3, minimum, and maximum) were calculated based on the scored scales at each scheduled assessment time point. In order to measure Quality-of-Life (QoL) among aGvHD patients, and potential changes over time, change from baseline in EuroQol-5D-5L scores at the time of each assessment were also calculated. Missing items data in a scale will be handled based on each instrument manual. No imputation will be applied if the total or subscale scores are missing at a visit.

    End point description
    Exposure-efficacy relationship of ruxolitinib in terms of concentration-effect and dose-effect. ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by local investigators. CR was defined as a score of 0 for the Acute Graft vs. Host Disease (aGvHD) grading in all evaluable organs that indicates complete resolution of all signs and symptoms of aGvHD in all evaluable organs without administration of additional systemic therapies for any earlier progression, mixed response or non-response of aGvHD. PR was defined as improvement of 1 stage in 1 or more organs involved with aGvHD signs or symptoms without progression in other organs or sites without administration of additional systemic therapies for an earlier progression, mixed response or non-response of aGvHD.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    31 May 2017
    The main purpose of the amendment was to clarify exclusion criterion #5 and other eligibility criteria to follow standard medical practice. The revision of exclusion criterion #5 was to follow standard medical practice in determining the presence of active viral infection. This determination was based on the treating physician’s clinical assessment according to local institutional guidelines at the time of randomization including but not limited to vital signs, physical examination, laboratory and relevant radiologic studies and viral load testing results when available.
    21 Jun 2018
    The main purpose of the amendment was to allow for more flexibility in the tapering of corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) and ruxolitinib; and if needed, for this taper to be completed safely beyond Week 24. This change included clarification that institutional guidelines for the tapering of corticosteroids and CNI could be followed. Additionally, the physician could tailor the tapering strategy to each patient’s condition, including stopping ruxolitinib more slowly in case of an acute Graft vs. Host Disease (aGvHD) flare or other safety concerns which may prevent the taper from being completed by Week 24. • Patients who met the protocol criteria for treatment discontinuation were not eligible to continue receiving ruxolitinib within the study. However, as part of Novartis “Posttrial access” commitment, patients who met all of the following criteria : • responded to ruxolitinib at Day 28 (or Crossover Day 28), • met study discontinuation criteria, other than safety reasons, • are assessed by the Investigator to still be deriving clinical benefit from ruxolitinib, were given the possibility to continue ruxolitinib outside the study, where permitted by and in accordance to local laws and regulations, if requested; they would then not enter the Long-Term Follow-Up period.
