Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
EXPERIMENTAL: Everolimus
All patients will be given everolimus and the magnitude of the side effects will be measured
Drug: Everolimus

Start therapy: 2x 0.75 mg/day (morning and evening) to receive a serum trough level of 3 - 5 ng/ml. First evaluation of Everolimus serum level 3-7 days after start of therapy, second 7 days later, subsequently on study weeks 4, 6, 9, 12 and 16. Dose has to be adapted if trough level exceeds 5 ng/ml. As soon as Everolimus trough level exceeds 3 ng/ml after start of therapy, calineurine inhibitors (e.g. cyclosporine) will be reduced: halve of the dose for the 3 consecutive days, withdrawal on day 4.

Prednisone will be reduced accordingly (a 22 weeks scheme is recommended) Everolimus will be used for 98 days or 14 weeks, as described above Everolimus therapy might be extended (independently of the study) if the patient suffering from milde chronic GvHD (according to NIH criteria) or milde PTOLD and lung function score is not reduced more than 25% since begin of Everolimus therapy Everolimus will be reduced to 50% of the dosage for 2 weeks before withdraw (normally weeks 15 and 16

Other Names:
  • Everolimus: Certican®

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Frequency of early withdrawal of treatment within the first 6 weeks on Everolimus
Time Frame: 16 months

Primary endpoint Frequency of early withdrawal of treatment within the first 6 weeks on Everolimus

Reasons for withdrawal of Everolimus treatment:

  • Unacceptabel toxicity
  • Therapy failure:
  • Recurrence of moderate or severe chronic GvHD (according to NIH criteria), clearly differentiated from acute forms of GvHD
  • Reduction of LFS of more than 25% compared to the last value within 14 days before Everolimus treatment
  • Therapy with immunosuppressive drugs in addition to Everolimus
16 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adverse drug reactions on Everolimus
Time Frame: 16 months
  • Adverse drug reactions on Everolimus
  • Frequency and grading of GvHD (according to NIH concerns) and POLT
  • Lung function score (LFS)
  • Overall survival
16 months
