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   43858   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. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system due to abnormal lymphocytes. Refractory means not responding to initial treatment. Relapse is where disease returns after initial response.

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To assess whether nivolumab, given on its own, can be used effectively to treat patients with Hodgkin lymphoma that has either failed to respond to initial treatment or which has returned after initially responding to treatment, and has not responded fully to salvage chemotherapy. The trial aims to find out how many patients have a negative PET-CT scan after 4-8 cycles of nivolumab treatment.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To investigate whether patients' disease relapses after nivolumab treatment, and if so, how long this takes to happen.

    To find out how long patients live after nivolumab treatment.

    To find out if patients who have a negative PET-CT scan after nivolumab take longer to relapse than those who have a positive PET-CT scan after nivolumab

    To investigate what side effects patients experience from nivolumab treatment.

    To find out whether it is safe for patients to have a stem cell transplant after nivolumab treatment

    To investigate whether PET scanning is an effective way of checking response to nivolumab treatment

    To look at whether there are blood tests that can be used to monitor response to treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma

    To understand more about the biology of Hodgkin lymphoma, and whether it is possible to predict response to salvage treatment
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No

    Trial treatment is of a limited duration (up to 8 cycles) and BMS have committed to supply nivolumab for the duration of the trial. Therefore ANIMATE patients will not require treatment with the study drug beyond the end of the research.

    Patients will receive the local standard of care for their disease as required after the trial ends.
