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   43875   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7295   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.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Phase I primary end-points
    1. To evaluate the safety of the infusion of CD19-CART01 at 3 different escalating doses (0,5 x 106, 1,5 x 106 and 3,0 x 106 cells/kg recipient total body weight of CAR+ T cells) and establish the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of the cellular product. DLT will be defined as any of the following that is not pre-existing, due to infection or to underlying malignancy and that may be considered possibly, probably or definitely related to the study cellular products. (1) Non-hematologic DLT is any grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicity, non-responsive to AP1903 infusions; (2) Hematologic DLT is defined as any grade 4 hematologic toxicity, non-responsive to AP1903 infusions; (3) Grade 4 reactions related to infusion; (4) Death related to CD19-CART01 or to AP1903 infusions.
    2. To determine the recommended dose of CD19-CART01 transduced T cells, defined as the maximum tolerated dose/recommended dose (MTD/RD), to be evaluated for efficacy in the phase II extension.

    Phase II primary end-points
    1. To confirm the safety of the approach, using the recommended dose defined during the Phase I portion of the study.
    2. To assess the antitumor effect of CD19-CART01 at day 28 post-infusion by determining BM morphological response and MRD. In particular, the primary end-point will be the proportion of patients achieving morphological complete remission (CR) with minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity at day 28.
    End-points primari della fase I
    1. Valutare la sicurezza dell’infusione di CD19-CART01 a 3 dosi crescenti (0,5 x 106, 1,5 x 106 e 3,0 x 106 cellule/kg per peso corporeo del ricevente di cellule T CAR+) e stabilire la dose limitante la tossicità (DLT) del prodotto cellulare. La DLT sarà definita come una delle seguenti che non è pre-esistente, dovuta a infezioni o alla malignità intrinseca e che può essere considerate possibile, probabile o connessa al prodotto cellulare di studio. (1) DLT Non-ematologica è la tossicità non ematologica di grado 3 o 4, che non risponde all’infusione di AP1903; (2) DLT ematologica è definita ogni tossicità di grado 4, che non risponde all’infusione di AP1903; (3) Reazioni di grado 4 connesse all’infusione; (4) Morte in relazione alle infusioni di CD19-CART01 o di AP1903.
    2. Determinare la dose raccomandata di CD19-CART01 definita come dose massima tollerata/dose raccomandata (MTD/RD), per valutare l’efficacia nell’estensione della fase II.

    End-points primari della fase II
    1. Confermare la sicurezza dell’approccio, utilizzando la dose raccomandata definite nella Fase I dello studio.
    2. Valutare l’effetto antitumorale di CD19-CART01 al 28° giorno post-infusione tramite valutazione della risposta morfologica e della malattia residua minima (MRD).
    In particolare, l’end-point primario sarà valutare la proporzione di pazienti che raggiungeranno la remissione morfologica completa (CR) con malattia residua minima negativa al giorno 28.

    2. To assess the in vivo persistence and expansion of the infused T cells in the peripheral blood (PB) and in the BM using immunoassays and transgene detection (Real Time qPCR), both for the whole population and the specific T-cell subsets.
    3. To evaluate the exhaustion of the infused T cells through immunoassays evaluating the expression of the specific markers of exhaustion and their activity through functional assays (such as ELISPOT for IFN-γ release using CD19-positive and CD-19 negative target cells, comparing the response with the T cells at the moment of infusion, whenever possible).
    4. To define the serum cytokine profile and its correlation with cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in order to define a possible predictive profile.

    7. To assess relapse rate, overall survival and disease-free survival at 1 and 3 years post cell infusion.
    8. To assess disease outcome in patients treated with AP1903.
    9. To assess the kinetics of CD19-CART01 elimination after AP1903 infusion.

    12. To assess the outcome of patients treated in the presence of HAMA either pre-existing to the treatment, or detected after CD19-CART01 infusion.
    End-points secondari della fase I e della fase II
    1. Valutare il tasso di risposta obiettiva (ORR) al giorno 28, che include la remissione completa CR, la CR con un recupero incompleto della conta ematica (CRi), la risposta parziale (PR) e la stabilità della malattia (SD).

    3. Valutare l’esaurimento delle cellule T infuse mediante citofluorimetria, per lo studio dell’espressione degli specifici markers, e tramite analisi funzionali della loro attività (come ELISPOT per la rilascio dell’IFN-γ utilizzando cellule target CD19-positive e CD19-negative, confrontando la risposta con le cellule T al momento dell'infusione, quando possibile)
    4. Definire il profilo delle citochine sieriche e la correlazione con la sindrome da rilascio citochinico (CRS) al fine di definire un possibile profilo predittivo.
    5. Caratterizzare la cinetica della pentraxina 3 (PTX3) e la sua correlazione con la CRS per definirne il ruolo come biomarker precoce e predittivo di CRS.
    6. Valutare l'effetto antitumorale a lungo termine delle cellule T infuse (sia come risposta morfologica che come MRD nel midollo osseo) a 1 e 3 anni, senza ulteriore terapia.
