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

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To compare the PFS of melflufen plus dexamethasone (Arm A) versus pomalidomide plus dexamethasone (Arm B) as assessed by the Independent Review Committee (IRC) according to the International Myeloma Working Group Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG-URC).
    Comparar la SLP de melflufen más dexametasona (Grupo A) frente a pomalidomida más dexametasona (Grupo B) según la evaluación del Comité Independiente de Revisión (CIR) con arreglo a los Criterios de respuesta uniforme del Grupo de Trabajo Internacional del Mieloma (IMWG-URC)
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Key Secondary Objectives
    - To assess and compare the overall response rate (ORR), i.e., proportion of patients with >= PR (stringent complete response [sCR], complete response [CR], very good partial response [VGPR] and partial response [PR]) as best response in Arm A versus Arm B
    - To assess and compare duration of response (DOR) in patients with >= PR (sCR, CR, VGPR, PR) as best response in Arm A versus Arm B
    - To assess and compare overall survival (OS) in Arm A versus Arm B
    - To assess and compare the safety and tolerability in Arm A and Arm B
    Objetivos secundarios claves:
    - Evaluar y comparar la tasa de respuesta global (RG), es decir, la proporción de pacientes con >= RP (respuesta completa rigurosa [rRC], respuesta completa [RC], respuesta parcial muy buena [RPMB] y respuesta parcial [RP]) como mejor respuesta en el Grupo A frente al Grupo B.
    - Evaluar y comparar la duración de la respuesta (DR) en pacientes con >=RP (rRC, RC, RPMB, RP) como mejor respuesta en el Grupo A frente al Grupo B
    - Evaluar y comparar la supervivencia global (SG) en el Grupo A frente al Grupo B
    - Evaluar y comparar la seguridad y la tolerabilidad en el Grupo A frente al Grupo B
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Male or female, age 18 years or older
    2. A prior diagnosis of multiple myeloma with documented disease progression in need of treatment at time of screening.
    3. Measurable disease defined as any of the following:
    - Serum monoclonal protein >= 0.5 g/dL by serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP)
    - >= 200 mg/24 hours of monoclonal protein in the urine on 24-hour urine electrophoresis (UPEP)
    - Serum free light chain (SFLC) >= 10 mg/dL AND abnormal serum kappa to lambda free light chain ratio
    4. Received 2-4 prior lines of therapy (Appendix D), including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor (PI), either sequential or in the same line, and is refractory (relapsed and refractory or refractory) to lenalidomide in the last line. Refractory status to lenalidomide includes patients who relapsed while on lenalidomide therapy or within 60 days of last dose following at least 2 cycles of lenalidomide with at least 14 doses of lenalidomide per cycle.
    5. Life expectancy of >=6 months
    6. ECOG performance status =< 2. (Patients with lower performance status based solely on bone pain secondary to multiple myeloma may be eligible following consultation and approval of the medical monitor) (Appendix A)
    7. Females of child bearing potential (FCBP)* must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL completed within 10 to 14 days prior to start of treatment. All FCBP must agree to either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin TWO acceptable methods of birth control, one highly effective method and one additional effective method AT THE SAME TIME, at least 28 days before she starts taking treatment and as appropriate based on the treatment assignment (See Section 7.7.1). FCBP must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing. Men must agree to use a condom during sexual contact with a FCBP even if they have had a vasectomy from the time of starting study treatment through 28 days after the last dose of therapy. All patients enrolled in Canada and the USA must be willing to comply with all requirements of the Canadian or USA pomalidomide REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy)™ program. All patients enrolled outside of Canada and the USA must be willing to comply with all requirements of the pomalidomide Pregnancy Prevention Plan (PPP, Appendix J). (Willingness, to comply with the REMS or PPP, must be documented prior to knowledge of randomization but is only required if randomized to Arm B).
    8. Ability to understand the purpose and risks of the study and provide signed and dated informed consent.
