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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Between July 2018 and June 2020, ARGO recruited 53 patients (Arm A; 12 Arm B: 42). At this point, recruitment was stopped prior to the planned interim assessment. The trial protocol stipulated that if PFS at 1 year is less than 25%, then a trial would not warrant further investigation.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Inclusion Criteria: Histologically proven CD20 +ve diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with sufficient diagnostic material, obtained either at diagnosis or relapse (the latter is preferable) that is available to forward to the Haematological Malignancies Diagnostic Service (HMDS) for gene expression profiling and central pathology review.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    02 Nov 2017
    Minor changes as per MHRA request to contraceptive use and addition of serum magnesium in biochemistry tests. PI’s to advise male participants about sperm conservation prior to treatment.
    27 Mar 2018
    Added transformed follicular to DLBCL to inclusion criteria Updated RSI information and versions of IBs for all IMPs. Wording of PET-CT requirements clarified, where PET/CT was used replaced with PET-CT. Removed text instructions to take Flow sample at diagnosis as this is not part of trial procedures. Update to Adverse Events of Special Interest section 7.5.4 Update Appendix 7 with Atezolizumab IB v10 guidance for the Management of Atezolizumab specific adverse events.
    11 Dec 2018
    References to data protection act removed throughout. Updates to trial procedures: • Screening PET-CT window extended from within 28 days of treatment to within 42 days from treatment. (Also updated in section 5.1) • Bone marrow at screening now optional, investigators discretion as to whether it should be performed. Should still be performed if screening lab values are lower than expected to confirm eligibility on basis of bone marrow involvement. (Also updated in section 5.1) • Correction to wording, where ‘registration’ was written and it should have read ‘randomisation’ to occur following successful completion of screening stage. • Flow Samples collection window extended, can be taken up to 72 hours prior to day 1 of cycles where sample is to be collected. Now in line with the Streck sample window for collection. (Also updated in section 8.2) • Removal of instruction to randomise 3 days prior to treatment, this was an error. Randomisation to occur within 14 days of treatment. • Physical exam and ECOG performance status. To be taken within 48 hours of IMP administration.
    11 Dec 2018
    Updates to eligibility criteria: • CD20 +ve diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (including transformation of previous low-grade lymphoma and primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma) • Sufficient diagnostic material is now preferable, not mandatory, and age of blocks is ‘ideally’ within 6 months. • Clarification that patients can have received more than two prior lines of treatment. • Correction to the text where incorrectly it has been stated that male patients should use ‘one form’ of highly effective contraception and then listed acceptable forms which came as sets of two. This should have read ‘two forms’, so is now in line with the Patient Information Sheet (also corrected in section 7.5.6). • Creatinine clearance exclusion values made clearer that values below 60ml/min would be excluded, even with normal creatinine result.
    11 Dec 2018
    Updates to section 5.1- Screening procedures updated to include new instructions for the tumour block requirements. These should ‘ideally’ be taken within 6 months of enrolment, previously it was stated they ‘must be’ taken within 6 months of enrolment. Sending of local pathology reports on the blocks where available to HMDS. Updates to section 6.8- Dose delays and modifications for toxicity Haematological toxicity-guided adjustments for immunochemotherapy, if platelets fall below 75 x 109/L chemotherapy should be delayed. Previously this was below 100 x 109/L and has been changed to be in line with exclusion criteria screening levels.
    11 Dec 2018
    Updates to section 9.2- Sample Size: • Removal of information about Case-Morgan design and inclusion of information relating to trial length. • Minor wording updates to the flow diagram to clarify analysis will be on experimental arm patients. Updates to 9.3 Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP): • Clarification of analysis populations, to now include ‘efficacy safety population’ Appendix 7 - Management of atezolizumab-specific adverse events, updated to include new information from Roche regarding Immune related Nephritis as a known side effect, and its recommended management.
    11 Dec 2018
    Update to section 6.10- IMP storage so that it is in agreement with IB guidance. Update to Reference Safety Information: • New IB’s and locations of RSI information • Information to refer to the most up to date SmPC in place for the trials nIMP Updates to section 8.3- Translational Blood Samples. Expanding the Streck sample description so that it is as detailed as that of Flow samples in section 8.2
    05 Mar 2019
    Update to RSI table – SmPC’s for Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin, and Atezolizumab IB updated from previous version. Guidelines added for permitted uses of single site radiotherapy post cycles in sections 5.3 and 5.9
