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

    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To evaluate the safety of an inotuzumab ozogamicin induction therapy.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria

    2. Newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (>25% marrow blasts, assessed by morphology; i.e. M3 marrow)
    3. Leukemic blasts must have CD22 surface expression of at least 20%, assessed by local/institutional flow cytometry of a bone marrow aspirate sample (assessment of CD22 via the reference lab for immunophenotyping is strongly recommended). In the case of an inadequate aspirate sample (dry tap), flow cytometry of peripheral blood specimen may be substituted if the patient has circulating blasts; alternatively, CD22 expression may be documented by immunohistochemistry of a bone marrow biopsy specimen
    4. No previous ALL-specific treatment with the exception of corticosteroids and/or single dose vincristine and/or a maximum of three doses of cyclophosphamide (cumulative dose of 600 mg/m2) and the standard prephase treatment
    5. With or without documented CNS involvement
    6. Adequate liver function, including total serum bilirubin < 2.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN) unless the patient has documented Gilbert syndrome, and aspartate and alanine aminotransferase (AST and ALT) < 2.5 x ULN. If organ function abnormalities are considered due to leukemic infiltration of the liver, total serum bilirubin must be < 2.5 x ULN and AST/ALT < 5 x ULN
    7. Serum creatinine <1.5 x ULN or any serum creatinine level associated with a measured or calculated creatinine clearance of >40 mL/min
    8. WHO performance status ≤ 2
    9. Signed written inform consent
    10. Inclusion in GMALL registry
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Philadelphia-chromosome or BCR-ABL positive ALL
    2. Burkitt’s or mixed phenotype acute leukemia based on the WHO 2008 criteria
    3. Peripheral absolute lymphoblast count >10,000/µL after pre-phase treatment and before start of study medication
    4. Known systemic vasculitis (e.g., Wegener’s granulomatosis, polyarteritis nodosa, systemic lupus erythematosus), primary or secondary immunodeficiency (such as HIV infection or severe inflammatory disease)
    5. Current or chronic hepatitis B or C infection as evidenced by hepatitis B surface antigen and anti-hepatitis C antibody positivity, respectively, or known seropositivity for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
    6. Major surgery within < 4 weeks before entry on study
    7. Unstable or severe uncontrolled medical condition (e.g., unstable cardiac function or unstable pulmonary condition)
    8. Concurrent active malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or localized prostate cancer that has been definitely treated with radiation or surgery; patients with previous malignancies are eligible provided that they have been disease free for >2 years
    9. Cardiac function, as measured by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) that is less than 45%, or the presence of New York Heart Association (NYHA) stage III or IV congestive heart failure
    10. Myocardial infarction < 6 months before entry on study
    11. History of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmia, or unexplained syncope not believed to be vasovagal in nature, or chronic bradycardic states such as sinoatrial block or higher degrees of AV block unless a permanent pacemaker has been implanted
    12. Uncontrolled electrolyte disorders that can confound the effects of a QTc prolonging drug (e.g., hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia)
    13. History of chronic liver disease (e.g., cirrhosis) or suspected alcohol abuse
    14. History of hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) or sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS)

    17. Patients who have had a severe allergic reaction or anaphylactic reaction to any humanized monoclonal antibodies or any known hypersensitivity to the active substance or any of its excipients
    18. Pregnant females; breastfeeding females; males and females of childbearing potential (a woman is considered of childbearing potential (WOCBP) i.e. fertile, following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile e.g. after hysterectomy or bilateral ovariectomy. Please refer to chapter 12.4 Contraceptive Requirements.) not using highly effective contraception or not agreeing to continue highly effective contraception for women at least 8 months and for men at least 5 months after the last dose of investigational product.
    19. Participation in other studies involving investigational drug(s) (Phase I-IV) within 4 weeks before study inclusion
    20. Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
