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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objectives for the initial treatment period of this study are to further evaluate the safety of natalizumab monotherapy by evaluating the risk of hypersensitivity reactions and immunogenicity following re-exposure to natalizumab and confirming the safety of switching from interferon (IFN), glatiramer acetate, or other multiple sclerosis (MS) therapies to natalizumab. The primary objective for the long-term treatment period of this study is to evaluate the long-term impact of natalizumab monotherapy on the progression of disability measured by Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) changes over time.
    Protection of trial subjects
    All infusions were to be administered in a clinic setting to allow for safety monitoring. Subjects were to remain in the clinic for 1 hour postinfusion for observation. An anti-natalizumab antibody sample was to be collected if an allergic reaction to natalizumab was suspected. If a subject was unable to tolerate the natalizumab dose of 300 mg intravenous (IV), the infusion was to be terminated immediately and the subject was to be discontinued from the study after follow-up procedures had been completed.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 Study 101-MS-321 (2005-004061-41) was initiated for subjects in Europe and the rest of the world in parallel with 101-MS-322 (NCT00306592) in North America. After 48 weeks, subjects from 101-MS-322 could enter 101-MS-321, considered the Long-Term Treatment period of 101-MS-322. The primary purpose and primary outcome for both studies are identical.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details

    AEs: any sign, symptom, or diagnosis/disease that is unfavorable or unintended, that is new, or if pre-existing, worsens in subjects administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. SAEs: an event that results in death; an event that, in the view of the investigator, places the subject at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event); an outcome that results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect diagnosed in a child of a subject; an event that requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization; an event that results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity. Any other medically important event that, in the opinion of the investigator, may jeopardize the subject or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above. Treatment-emergent AEs: events in subjects who had received at least 1 dose of study drug, regardless of relationship to study drug.

    ‘Positive with unknown persistence’ is defined as a positive result (≥0.5 micrograms/mL) at one timepoint only with no confirmatory re-test available at least 42 days later. ‘Transient positive’ is defined as a positive at one timepoint but negative upon re-test at least 42 days later. ‘Persistent positive’ is defined as positive at 2 or more timepoints separated by at least 42 days. The threshold for classifying a sample as 'antibody positive' was set at the lowest level of reactivity that had a measurable impact on drug serum concentrations.
