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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 main objective of this trial is to assess whether autologous haematopoietic stem call transplantation (HSCT) with a low intensity treatment regimen (lite) is safe and effective in inducing regression of ileo-colonic ulceration in Crohn's Disease, where previous treatments have been unsuccessful, compared with standard care. Definitions: Autologous - cells or tissue obtained from the same individual Hematopoietic - cells that give rise to blood cells
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients who were not randomised to receive HSCTlite (study intervention) were treated as per standard care. Patients who were randomised to receive HSCTlite received standard clinical haematology follow up during and following their stem cell transplant. Patients were free to withdraw from the study at any time without giving a reason and without this affecting their ongoing treatment. Safety events were regularly reviewed by an independent Data Monitoring and Ethics Committee, and the decision to pause recruitment on safety grounds was taken following review of this safety data. Participants were provided with a contact card and encouraged to get in touch with their local trial team if they had experienced any adverse events.
    Background therapy
    The control group were permitted any current available treatment for Crohn’s disease, except stem cell transplant.
    Evidence for comparator
    The comparator included all treatments available to patients with Crohn's disease, under non-trial circumstances. These could include: (1) biologic therapy, (2) nutritional therapy, (3) corticosteroids and (4) conventional immune modulators. The study evaluated the intervention to investigate if this could potentially be offered as routine care in the future.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study opened to recruitment on 9th May 2018 and the last patient was randomised on 26th September 2019. The decision was made by the TSC and DMEC to pause recruitment on 30th December 2019 and no further patients were recruited to the study after this time. In total 49 patients were consented, with 23 randomised.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Potentially eligible patients were asked for consent to be discussed at the trial MDT. Once MDT had confirmed the patient seemed appropriate for the trial, full consent was taken and screening investigations completed. Referral to trial MDT – 77 MDT confirmed could proceed – 74 Screening completed – 49 Baseline completed - 27 Randomised - 23

    Mobilisation Cyclophosphamide, 1 hour infusion 1g/m2 on day 1, G-CSF (filgrastim) 5mcg/kg subcutaneously 4 days following cyclophosphamide until the day of stem cell harvest Conditioning Fludarabine: IV fludarabine 25mg/m2, given on days -6, -5, -4, -3 and -2. Reduced doses in the presence of impaired renal function, cyclophosphamide 60mg/kg/day IV over 1 hour, given in 500ml of normal saline on days -3 and -2. Rabbit ATG IV 2.5mg/kg was given on days -3, -2 and -1. A test dose was given as per standard local practice. G-CSF: Stem cells were re-infused at day 0. G-CSF 5mcg/kg/day (to the nearest vial) began on day +5 and continued until absolute neutrophil counts reached >1.0x109/L for two consecutive days.

    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: One person was withdrawn post-randomisation after being found ineligible and therefore didn't make the ITT criteria.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: Due to the early study closure and low numbers, the original statistical analysis plan was amended and an addendum to the SAP was written, in which it was decided that a mixed effects logistic regression model would be used for the primary outcome, however upon receiving the data and fitting the model, the model did not converge. Therefore, it was decided only descriptive statistics were to be reported for the primary endpoint.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    27 Feb 2018
    • Clarity added to protocol around procedures relating to mechanistic studies • Corrections/typos where required • Increased window for some screening investigations prior to randomisation, and timing of CDAI in relation to colonoscopy • Inclusion of the use of the IBD BioResource to identify potential participants • Addition of HBI between mobilisation and conditioning, CDAI and HBI at both screening and baseline, added stoma version of IBDQ for participants where this is required • Updates to PIS on advice from TSC – timing of discussion with both specialties, noted that most common side effects likely to occur in almost all patients • Submitted reformatted versions of the validated participant questionnaires • Minor updates to formatting for healthcare resource use questionnaire, symptom diary and vaccination proforma
    01 Jun 2018
    • Changes to PI at Edinburgh and Nottingham sites • Secondary outcome added in relation to MRI and MaRIA score • Additional mechanistic serum sample added at week 40 visit • Addition of potential storage of stem cell samples for use in future research • Added Karnofsky performance status at screening and week 48 for all participants • Information added in relation to press release to aid recruitment, and potential use of a study Twitter account • Participant allocation letter submitted which can be used to follow up informing participants of their allocation where face to face is not possible • Addition of a vaccination advice sheet for GPs
    05 Jun 2018
    • To allow the use of PICs, and to add Nottingham NHS Treatment Centre as a PIC for the Nottingham site
    02 Aug 2018
    • The removal of details of MA holder for each IMP in section D2-1 of the application. The intention has always been for sites to use any brand of the IMPs in this study, and whilst the correct section of the application was completed to reflect this, details from the sample SmPCs submitted originally was also included, which implied that those brands were specified.
    05 Sep 2018
    • To add King’s College Hospital London as a non-recruiting site, and to change the site type for Guy’s & St Thomas’ to a non-treatment site.
    02 Nov 2018
    • Administrative changes to the protocol to update the organisations for two collaborators, Sponsor contact email address, CI deputy details • Increase the window for screening investigations from within 4 weeks to 8 weeks of randomisation • Provided clarity on how the primary outcome will be assessed for patients who have had ileo and/or colonic resection, but are still eligible to take part in the trial • Correction to DMEC meeting frequency in line with the DMEC Charter • Correction to treatment section in the PIS to note that mobilisation cyclophosphamide will be given on one day, rather than two. • Clarification in the PIS that endoscopy might be undertaken if the bowel cannot be examined using ileocolonoscopy. • The SmPC for filgrastim has been updated since the start of the study; the revised version has been submitted with this amendment to update the RSI. • The SmPC for cyclophosphamide has been updated since the start of the study; although there have been no changes to the safety aspects, the updated version has been included with this amendment so that sites can have access to the latest information relating to the IMP.
    25 Jul 2019
    • Addition of genetic and or functional tests during screening to exclude monogenic cause of intestinal inflammation in patients with predictive clinical phenotype • To allow possibility of second attempt at mobilisation with reduced or no cyclophosphamide in patients who fail to mobilise first time • Admin changes and updates to protocol • Clarified definition of SES-CD ulcer size subscore for eligibility and outcomes • Updates to PIS for GDPR requirements, and genetic testing as above • Additional two flowcharts to help explain trial to participants
    12 Aug 2019
    Increase in dose of methylprednisolone (NIMP) from 1mg/kg/day to 2mg/kg/day, with scope to increase further up to 500-1000mg in the setting of an ATG reaction. Amendment in response to Urgent Safety Measure (July 2019).
    08 Feb 2020
    Administrative changes to reflect change in trial manager and research assistant. Removal of the circle Nottingham as this is now part of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. Allow the use of an alternative to MRI such as a CT scan for screening if patients are unable to have an MRI. Addition that MRI will not be carried out at week 4, week 24 or week 48 if this is contraindicated. At week 24 an assessment of whether anti-TNF therapy is indicated will be based on endoscopic evidence and if needed, abdominal ultrasound. Addition that any laboratory test result which is out of range, and clinically significant, will be recorded as an adverse event, unless it is expected as part of the patient’s disease presentation, or reflects the status of their baseline disease. Consideration about reintroducing anti-TNF at week 24 for patients with multiple sclerosis. Anti-TNF therapy may not be appropriate for these patients therefore it will be reviewed on a case by case basis and discussed at MDT. Suitable alternative such as vedolizumab may be offered. Changes to the SmPC for filgrastim and thymoglobulin.
    30 Mar 2020
    Temporary Halt following fatal SUSAR
    22 Sep 2020
    Addition of letter to update patients on the closure to the ASTIClite trial.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? Yes
    Date
    Interruption
    Restart date
    30 Dec 2019
    The trial was paused in December 2019 whilst a number of SUSARs were investigated. Two further SUSARs were reported in May 2020. In June 2020, the DMEC and TSC held a joint meeting to discuss the events, the outcomes of investigations and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. The DMEC and TSC agreed that recruitment to the trial should stop. Patients already in follow up, either having completed the intervention, or in the control group, were followed up as normal. Patients randomised to the intervention who had not yet received this, were withdrawn from the study. In addition, the coronavirus pandemic affected the ability of trial sites to conduct all aspects of patient visits. Some visits were delayed, and some procedures had to be omitted.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Due to the early closure of the trial, participant numbers included in the final analysis are lower than anticipated. An addendum was written for the Statistical Analysis Plan to document the changes to the planned analyses given the reduced numbers.
