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   43870   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7289   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 primary objective of this study is to determine minimal residual disease (MRD) negative rate following blinatumomab treatment in high-risk Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) subjects who are MRD-positive post-autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT).
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Council for 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.

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence. A serious AE is defined as an AE that is: fatal; life threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; a congenital anomaly/birth defect; other medically important serious event. TEAEs are events with an onset after the administration of the first dose of blinatumomab treatment through 30 days after the end of blinatumomab treatment.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    23 May 2017
    This protocol is being amended to: • Include stopping rules for excessive toxicity, define dose limiting toxicity (DLT) evaluable subjects, and add interim analyses to review DLT rate • Clarify timing and purpose of MRD tests that occur before treatment and on cycle 1 day 1 • Remove language related to sensitivity analysis performed on the MRD-negative rate at the end of cycle 1 of blinatumomab • Make administrative and editorial updates (this includes an update to the Schedule of Assessments table to re-add 2 PET assessments that were mistakenly deleted during publication of original protocol)
    24 Aug 2017
    This protocol is being amended to: • include stopping rules for disease progression. • add hepatitis serology and human immunodeficiency virus testing. • add benefit/risk assessment language. • make administrative and editorial updates.
    18 Jul 2018
    This protocol is being amended to: • Increase the screening window to 28 days. • Clarify when pathology tumor block/slides should be collected and MRD tests should be performed during screening. • Clarify that the MRD plasma sample needs to be drawn after the post aHSCT PET-CT scan. • Clarify that subjects will be excluded from receiving blinatumomab if there is evidence of central nervous system (CNS) involvement with DLBCL at disease evaluation prior to starting blinatumomab. • Clarify that grade 4 hematologic toxicity and grade 4 laboratory abnormalities lasting ≥ 7 days exclude lymphopenia. This lymphopenia is reported to last for 6 months or as long as a year after therapy completion (Chiappella et al, 2017; Coffier, 2007; Plosker and Figgitt, 2003). Lymphopenia is also a known adverse event with blinatumomab that does resolve after the therapy is completed. Lymphopenia is not an immediately life-threatening threatening event, is treated well with supportive care, and reverses after completion of R-chemotherapy and blinatumomab infusion. • Clarify when vital signs will be obtained for hospitalized subjects versus subjects in the outpatient clinic. • Make administrative and editorial updates.
