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
    The main objective of the trial was to evaluate the efficacy (transfusion independence [TI]) of daratumumab in red blood cell (RBC) transfusion-dependent subjects with low or intermediate-1-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) whose disease had relapsed during treatment with or was refractory to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) (after enrollment in the talacotuzumab arm was stopped).
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the declaration of helsinki and that are consistent with Good Clinical Practices and applicable regulatory requirements.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 Out of 34 enrolled subjects, 33 subjects received daratumumab and 1 subject received talacotuzumab. Due to serious infusion-related reaction (IRR) event that occurred in first subject enrolled in talacotuzumab arm, no further subjects were enrolled and no primary assessments were conducted for the single subject assigned to talacotuzumab arm.

Disease progression as per IWG response criteria: for subjects with: <5% blasts: >=50% increase in blasts to >5% blasts; 5%–10% blasts: >=50% increase to >10% blasts; 10%–20% blasts: >=50% increase to >20% blasts; 20%–30% blasts: >=50% increase to >30% blasts. Any of the following: >=50% decrement from maximum remission/response in granulocytes or platelets; reduction in hemoglobin by >=2 g/dL; transfusion dependence. ITT population included all subjects who received at least 1 dose of daratumumab. Here, "99999" signifies that the median, lower and upper limit of Confidence Interval (CI) were not estimable due to lesser number of events.

    Notes
    [14] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: This endpoint was analysed for the specified arm only as no primary assessments were conducted for other arm.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    29 Mar 2017
    The purpose of this amendment was: clarification was provided for subject monitoring and availability of resuscitation equipment in the event of a fatal infusion related reaction (IRR) event during talacotuzumab infusion in study 56022473AML2002. Infusion-rate guidance was changed, and duration of monitoring was increased from 30 minutes to 1-hour post-infusion. Dosing schedules were clarified for talacotuzumab and daratumumab, pre-infusion medications were added for talacotuzumab, pre- and post-infusion medications were added/or clarified for daratumumab. Requirement for blood type assessment and indirect antiglobulin results on Cycle 1 Day 1 for daratumumab and recommendation for herpes zoster (HZ) reactivation prophylaxis were added.
