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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    2) To compare the immunogenicity of visilizumab to placebo in IVSR-UC subjects.

    3) To compare the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and pharmacoeconomic outcomes of visilizumab to placebo in IVSR-UC subjects.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Eligible subjects will be considered for inclusion in this study if they meet all of the following criteria:

    3) Severe active disease, as defined by MTWSI ≥ 11 at consent, with a confirmatory MTWSI ≥ 10 on or after the fifth consecutive day of IV steroids and within 1 day prior to randomization.

    4) Mayo score ≥ 10 and a Mayo mucosal subscore (finding of flexible proctosigmoidoscopy) of ≥ 2. The Mayo score will be calculated on the day of sigmoidoscopy by a blinded gastroenterologist, after a minimum of 3 consecutive days (ie, on or after the fourth consecutive day) of IV steroids.

    5) Agreement to use adequate contraception by male or female subjects of reproductive potential throughout the study and for 3 months after receiving the last dose of study drug.

    7) Negative Clostridium difficile test within 10 days prior to the first dose of study drug.

    8) Ability to understand the purpose and risks of the study and provide signed and dated informed consent.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Exclusion Criteria:

    Subjects will be ineligible for this study if they meet any one of the following criteria:
    1) UC requiring immediate surgical, endoscopic, or radiologic interventions, including massive hemorrhage, perforation and sepsis, suppurative complications (intra-abdominal or perianal abscesses), or toxic megacolon requiring imminent intervention.

    2) History of total proctocolectomy, or subtotal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis.

    3) Presence of ileostomy.

    4) White blood cell (WBC) count less than 2.5 x 10^3/mcL; platelet count less than 150 x 10^3/mcL; or hemoglobin (Hgb) level less than 8 g/dL. Note the following exceptions for WBC counts only (minimum platelet counts and Hgb levels are the same):

    a) If subject has been taking the same dose of AZA/6-MP/MTX for 30 or more consecutive days immediately prior to consent, a WBC count <2.0 x 10^3/mcL.

    b) If subject has initiated treatment with, or increased his/her dose of, 6-MP, AZA, or MTX within 30 days prior to consent, a WBC count of ≤ 5 x 10^3/mcL at the time of screening.

    5) Active medically significant infections, particularly those of viral etiology, eg, known CMV colitis. This includes any incidence of medically significant opportunistic infections (see Definitions) within the past 12 months.

    6) Subjects may not receive a live vaccine within 6 weeks prior to randomization, during the visilizumab dosing period, or for 60 days after receiving the last dose of study drug.

    7) Significant organ dysfunction, including cardiac, renal, liver, CNS, pulmonary, vascular, gastrointestinal, endocrine, or laboratory abnormality (eg, creatinine ≥1.6 mg/dL; ALT or AST ≥ 2X the upper limit of normal [ULN]; alkaline phosphatase ≥1.5X ULN); a history of myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, or arrhythmias within 6 months prior to consent.

    8) History or treatment of lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) or malignancy within the past 5 years (excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix).

    9) Seropositive for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen, or hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody.

    10) Treatment with a first dose of infliximab or another anti-TNF-α drug within 4 weeks of randomization, or treatment with a subsequent dose of an anti-TNF-α drug within 2 weeks of randomization.

    11) Treatment with cyclosporine or tacrolimus (FK506) within 2 weeks prior to randomization.

    12) Treatment with any other investigational drug or therapy within 60 days prior to randomization, except those mentioned in the above two exclusion criteria.

    13) Any condition that, in the investigator’s opinion, makes the subject unsuitable for study participation.

    14) Pregnancy or nursing.

    15) Nontherapeutic levels of chronic anti-seizure medications in subjects with a prior history of seizures, as tested within 4 days prior to randomization.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoint is the comparison of the proportion of subjects who respond to treatment on Day 45 (± 4 days) in the visilizumab and placebo groups. A subject is defined as a responder if he/she has a ≥ 3-point reduction in the total Mayo score from baseline, with the rectal bleeding subscore reduced by at least 1 point, or an actual rectal bleeding subscore of 0 to 1.
