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   44359   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7384   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 trial was to estimate the overall response rate.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study protocol and all amendments, the informed consent form, and any accompanying materials provided to the participants were reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) at each study center. This study was conducted in accordance with International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) regulations/guidelines. The investigator or his/her designee informed the participant of all aspects pertaining to the participant's participation in the study before any screening procedures were performed.
    Background therapy
    Participants may receive intravenous (IV) pre-hydration (normal saline or other appropriate IV fluid) prior to each carfilzomib infusion during cycle 1. Investigators must consider IV pre-hydration in participants at high-risk for tumor lysis or renal toxicity.

    Arm description
    Carfilzomib was administered intravenously on days 1, 8, and 15 (± 2 days) of each 28-day cycle for up to 12 cycles or progression or end of study. A dose of 20 mg/m^2 was administered on day 1 of cycle 1; all subsequent doses were 56 mg/m^2. From cycle 13, the frequency of carfilzomib administration was reduced to days 1 and 15 (± 2 days) per cycle until progression or end of study. Dexamethasone was administered orally or intravenously at a dose of 40 mg on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each cycle during cycles 1 to 12, and at a dose of 20 mg on days 1 and 15 from cycle 13 until progression or end of study. Pomalidomide 4 mg was administered orally on days 1 to 21 of each cycle until progression or end of study.

    Overall Response Rate (ORR) as Assessed by the Independent Review Committee (IRC) [1]
    End point description
    Overall response was defined as the best overall confirmed response of: Complete response (CR): Negative immunofixation on serum and urine, soft tissue plasmacytomas disappearance, < 5% plasma cells in bone marrow (BM). Stringent CR (sCR): CR and normal serum free light chain ratio and no clonal cells in BM. Very Good Partial Response (VGPR): Serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation or ≥ 90% reduction in serum M-protein (urine M-protein level < 100 mg/24-h). PR: ≥ 50% reduction of serum M-protein and 24-h urinary M-protein by ≥ 90% or to < 200 mg/24-h. Assessment was by IRC per International Myeloma Working Group Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG-URC). The 90% confidence intervals were estimated using the Clopper-Pearson method (1994). The safety analysis set included all participants who received at least 1 dose of carfilzomib.

From cycle 13, the frequency of carfilzomib administration was reduced to days 1 and 15 (± 2 days) per cycle until progression or end of study. Dexamethasone was administered orally or intravenously at a dose of 40 mg on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each cycle during cycles 1 to 12, and at a dose of 20 mg on days 1 and 15 from cycle 13 until progression or end of study. Pomalidomide 4 mg was administered orally on days 1 to 21 of each cycle until progression or end of study.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    17 Sep 2019
    • Cohort 1: Carfilzomib, Daratumumab, and Dexamethasone was removed. • Hepatic Insufficiency for pomalidomide was added. • Secondary endpoint of frequency of sustained MRD response was added. • Statistical analysis section was updated to include 12 month landmark. • Objectives and endpoints were clarified. • NGS-based method for evaluating MRD was added. • Title of protocol was updated to include second relapse. • IRC was added. • Number of subjects and number of sites were updated. • Study rationale and benefit/risk sections were updated with updated data. • Bone targeting agents were added to recommended therapies.
    13 May 2020
    • Prophylaxis for Hepatitis B virus reactivation to other protocol-required therapies was added. • Hepatitis B dose modification was added. • MRD assessments were changed from a ± 2-week window, to a ± 4-week window. • The primary objective was updated from estimating the efficacy by rate of MRD[-] response of KPd to estimating the rate of MRD[-]CR. • Screening was updated regarding fetal toxicity, beginning 4 weeks prior to initiating treatment with pomalidomide. • Clarifications were made to PFS, OS, and CR in efficacy analyses. • Dose modification in abnormalities from tumor lysis syndrome were added. • Windows for radiological plasmacytoma assessments were extended from every 12 weeks to every 12 weeks ± 2 weeks. • Screening evaluations for disease specific assessments, measurable disease, rescreening, echocardiograms, pulmonary function tests, bone lesions, and plasmacytomas were changed from 30 to 28 days. • 2 contraceptive methods were removed to align with the Summary of Product Characteristics for pomalidomide: (1) intrauterine devices and (2) combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation. • Reporting requirement for start and stop time of Pomalidomide administration was removed.
    26 Mar 2021
    • The requirement of daratumumab exposure was removed. • The ORR was updated as a key secondary endpoint to further designate this endpoint as clinically important and pre-specify the order for analysis. • The number of sites were updated from 35 to 45. • The carfilzomib dose modification guidelines for nonhematologic toxicities were updated. • The statistical considerations were updated, given newly available data that includes outcomes of subjects who are refractory to lenalidomide. • The safety reporting and birth control requirements were updated per the current protocol template.
    16 May 2022
    • Primary endpoint was changed to ORR, and MRD[-] CR rate was moved to secondary endpoint. • The hypothesis and statistical consideration sections were updated to align with updated endpoints. • Pomalidomide modification guidelines were updated for nonhematologic toxicities. • Statements on discontinuation of recruitment after 54 subjects enrolled were added; decision was made because of challenges to enrollment in part due to evolving changes in multiple myeloma treatment landscape.
