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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 ).

    Complete Response (CR) Rate per the Lugano Classification as Determined by Study Investigators [1]
    End point description
    CR Rate is the percentage of participants with CR (complete metabolic response (CMR); complete radiological response (CRR)). CMR: positron emission tomography (PET) 5-point scale (5-PS) scores of 1 (no uptake above background), 2 (uptake ≤ mediastinum), 3 (uptake > mediastinum but ≤ liver) with/without a residual mass); no new lesions; and no evidence of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid disease in bone marrow (BM). CRR: target nodes/nodal masses regressed to ≤ 1.5 cm in longest transverse diameter of lesion (LDi); no extralymphatic sites of disease; absent non-measured lesion (NMLs); organ enlargement regress to normal; no new sites; and bone marrow normal by morphology. The Response Evaluable Analysis Set included participants who were enrolled and treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel at a dose of at least 1 x 10^6 anti-CD19 CAR T cells/kg, and centrally confirmed disease type (double-/triple- hit lymphomas) or International Prognostic Index (IPI) score ≥ 3.

    DOR applied to participants who had OR after axicabtagene ciloleucel infusion. DOR: Time from first OR to disease progression (PD) or death from any cause. OR was defined in endpoint 2. PD: a score 4 (uptake moderately >liver) or 5 (uptake markedly >liver and/or new lesions) with increase in intensity of uptake from baseline; new FDG-avid foci consistent with lymphoma at interim or end of treatment assessment; new FDG-avid foci consistent with lymphoma rather than another etiology (eg, infection, inflammation); new or recurrent FDG-avid foci in bone marrow. Participants in Response Evaluable Analysis Set with OR were analyzed. Participants not meeting criteria by data cutoff date were censored at last evaluable disease assessment date/new anti-lymphoma therapy start (with stem cell transplant or retreatment of axicabtagene ciloleucel), whichever was earlier. KM estimates were used for analysis. '9999' means data not available due to low number of participants with events.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    14 Aug 2019
    • Clarified the indication language to include “LBCL with a high-intermediate-/high-risk IPI score of ≥ 3; all subjects must have positive PET after 2 cycles (PET2+) of chemoimmunotherapy.” • Updated the DSMB meeting content, frequency, and the inclusion of an interim analysis. Changed language from reviewing SAE information and SUSARs on a “regular basis” to “semi-annual basis” throughout subject treatment in the study. • Clarified DLBCL subtypes based upon the 2016 revision of the WHO classification and added additional disease background information • Clarified language for neurological examination frequency from “every other day” to read as “a neurological examination should be done prior to axicabtagene ciloleucel infusion on treatment Day 0, then on Day 1, Day 3, Day 5, and Day 7 during the observation period, which must last a minimum of 7 days.” • Added language allowing for PET-CT done as a screening procedure for disease assessment, as needed, and clarified that disease assessments will be evaluated per the Lugano classification • Changed acetaminophen dosage from “650 mg PO or equivalent” to “500 to 1000 mg taken orally or equivalent”, changed diphenhydramine range to “12.5 to 25 mg administered either orally or intravenously or equivalent” • Added duration for enrolled subjects in the long-term follow-up for up to 15 years, if applicable • Updated several aspects of the summary of assessments, including: • Added new footnotes to the SOA for country-specific assessments, including pregnancy testing and serologic testing • Added a blood draw for minimum residual disease testing at Week 4, Month 3, and Month 6 • Added “stable disease” as a potential outcome for best response to treatment
    25 Mar 2022
    • A LTFU study was developed to allow for rollover of participants to complete the 15-year follow-up after infusion of axicabtagene ciloleucel on ZUMA-12. The protocol was amended to provide the opportunity for participants to roll over to the LTFU study for safety follow-up and reduced burden of study-specific assessments. • The AE and SAE reporting period was extended from 24 months to 15 years. A US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandate on the LTFU study required targeted AE/SAE reporting up to 15 years for all participants who received axicabtagene ciloleucel. The collection of targeted AE/SAEs was therefore extended in ZUMA-12 to prevent reporting gaps before participant transition to the LTFU study.
    14 Jun 2022
    • The introduction of a time limit for optional retreatment. If a participant is eligible and wishes to undergo retreatment, they must do so within 24 months after their initial axicabtagene ciloleucel infusion. • The option of investigational product retreatment has been removed from the LTFU study. Participants will not be able to undergo retreatment once they roll over from the ZUMA-12 study to the LTFU study.
