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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of this trial was to compare the efficacy (rate of very good partial response [VGPR] or better as best response as defined by the International Myeloma Working Group [IMWG] criteria) of daratumumab subcutaneous (Dara-SC) in combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) with the efficacy of Kd in subjects with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma who were previously exposed to daratumumab to evaluate daratumumab retreatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with Good Clinical Practice and applicable regulatory requirements.

IMWG criteria: VGPR: Serum and urine M-component detected by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis, or greater than or equal to (>=)90 percent (%) reduction in serum Mprotein plus urine M-protein less than (<)100 milligram (mg)/24hours; CR: Negative immunofixation on the serum and urine, and Disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas (PCs), and <5% PCs in bone marrow; sCR: CR plus normal free light chain (FLC) ratio, and Absence of clonal PCs by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence or 2 to 4 color flow cytometry. The response-evaluable analysis set included subjects who had confirmed diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) and measurable disease at baseline or screening visit.

IMWG criteria for PR: >=50% reduction of serum M-protein and reduction in 24-hour urinary M-protein by >=90% or <200 mg/24 hours; If the serum and urine M-protein were not measurable, a decrease of >=50% in the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels was required in place of the M-protein criteria; If serum and urine M-protein were not measurable, and serum free light assay is also not measurable, >=50% reduction in bone marrow plasma cells (PCs) was required in place of M-protein, provided baseline bone marrow plasma cell percentage was >=30%; additionally, if present at baseline, >=50% reduction in the size of soft tissue PCs was also required.

BMPC%: the absolute % must be >=10%; definite increase in size of existing bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas; definite development of new bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas; development of hypercalcemia (corrected serum calcium >11.5 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or 2.65 millimoles per liter [mmol/L]) that can be attributed solely to PC proliferative disorder.

    End point description
    Time to next treatment was defined as the time from randomisation to the start of the next-line treatment. ITT analysis set analysis set included all subjects who were randomised in the study. Here, 'N' (number of subjects analysed) signifies subjects who were evaluable for this endpoint. Here, 99999 signifies data was not estimable due to insufficient number of events.

    		 Subjects received daratumumab subcutaneous (Dara-SC) 1800 mg by SC injection on Days 1, 8, 15, 22 for Cycle 1 and 2, Days 1 and 15 for Cycle 3-6, Day 1 from Cycle 7 onwards. Subjects received carfilzomib 20 mg/m^2 IV on Cycle 1 Day 1 and then 70 mg/m^2 on Day 8 and 15 of Cycle 1 and Days 1, 8 and 15 of Cycle 2. Subjects received dexamethasone 20 mg on Cycle 1 Days 1 and 2 and 40 mg IV or orally on Days 8, 15, 22 for Cycle 1. Subjects then received dexamethasone 40 mg on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 for cycles 2-9, then on Days 1, 8, 15 from Cycle 10 onwards, until confirmed PD, death, intolerable toxicity, start of a new treatment for multiple myeloma, withdrawal of consent, or end of the study, whichever occurs first.

    		 Subjects received carfilzomib 20 milligram per square meter (mg/m^2) intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and then 70 mg/m^2 on Days 8 and 15 of Cycle 1 and thereafter on Days 1, 8, 15 from Cycle 2 onwards. Subjects received dexamethasone 20 mg on Cycle 1 Days 1 and 2 and 40 mg IV or orally on Days 8, 15, 22 for Cycle 1. Subjects then received dexamethasone 40 mg IV or orally on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 for cycles 2-9, then on Days 1, 8, 15 from Cycle 10 onwards, until confirmed progressive disease (PD), death, intolerable toxicity, start of a new treatment for multiple myeloma, withdrawal of consent, or end of the study, whichever occurs first.
