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   43861   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended phase III dose (RP3D) of ruxolitinib when administered in combination with nilotinib 300mg twice a day (BID) and prednisone 50mg every other day (EOD).
    Protection of trial subjects
    This clinical trial was conducted in accordance with the protocol, the principles established in the current revised version of the Declaration of Helsinki on medical research in human subjects (60th WMA General Assembly, Fortaleza, Brazil, 2013), and in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, in particular the 1996 ICH Harmonised Tripartite Guidelines For Good Clinical Practice and local legislation on Clinical Trials (Royal Decree 1090/2015 that rules clinical drug trials in Spain, Ethics Committees of medicines research and the Spanish Clinical Trials Register), as well as Act No. 14/2007 of 3 July on biomedical research and Royal Decree 1716/2011 of 18 November in all applicable matters. At the time of study initiation, and incorporating the specific provisions for application in Spain of Regulation (EU) No 536/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on clinical trials on medicinal products for human use. By signing the protocol, the investigators agreed to follow the instructions and procedures described in the protocol and therefore to comply with the principles of GCP on which it is based. In compliance with Royal Decree 1090/2015, the sponsor submitted the pertinent documentation to the ethics committee. The study did not start until approval by the IEC and the AEMPS has been obtained.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Between November 2017 and June 2020, a total of 21 patients were included in the study at 6 Spanish sites. Six patients were considered screening failures and did not receive treatment, and were thus not included in the ITT or the PP populations

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Patients must be > 18 years, diagnosed with PMF, PPV-MF or PET-MF irrespective of JAK2 mutation status, classified as intermediate risk level 1 (1 or more prognostic factors defined by the International Working Group) with at least one criterion other than age, have palpable spleen of at least 5 cm and active symptoms of MF measured by MPN-SAF TSS.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Six patients were considered screening failures and did not receive treatment, and thus were excluded.
