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   44237   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7338   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.

    D.8 Information on Placebo
    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Anti neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis. Wegener´s granulomatosis (WG) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) are primary systemic vasculitides associated with ANCA
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To investigate whether an MMF based induction regimen is as effective as a standard IV CYC regimen for the treatment of active ANCA associated systemic vasculitis (AASV).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To ascertain if adverse events, organ damage scores, adverse events, overall disease activity, cumulative immunosupression and steroid dosing and quality of life is better with mycophenolate mofetil compared to standard therapies.

    - Time to remission (months)
    - Adverse events: mild/moderate/severe and infections
    - Relapse (relapse rates at 18 months and relapse free survival)
    - Cumulative dose of corticosteroids
    - Improvement in calculated GFR at 18 months
    - Cumulative vasculitis damage index (VDI) scores
    - Change in SF36 at 12 and 18 months
    - BVAS (area under curve) between entry and 18 months
    - ANCA status at 6 months

    Optional sample collection:
    - Mycophenolic acid pharmacokinetics
    - Pharmacogenetics
    - Gene expression profiling
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    As specified in Amendment No.1, date february 21, 2008:

    Local sub-study a:
    It has previously been shown that patients with active vasculitis have circulating inflammatory endothelial cells, endothelial progenitor cell dysfunction and anti-endothelial antibodies that react with human kidney microvascular endothelial cells (EC) (Holmen et al 2004, 2005, Rodriguez-Ayala 2006). We would now like to study these factors prospectively in 10-15 patients at two time points, at inclusion and at 6 months when most patients are in remission with the aim to examine their importance in active disease vs remission.

    The following samples will be taken for local sub-study a at 0 and 6 months.

    a) 4 x 8 mls of blood in BD vacutainer® CPTTM Cell preparation Tube with Sodium Citrate (For the separation of mononuclear cells from whole blood).
    b) 5 mls of blood for serum extraction

    Local substudy b:
    CD4+ T cells which have lost expression of the costimulatory molecule CD28,
    e.g. Cd28null T cells are frequently found in chronic inflammatory diseases including ANCA+ vasculitis (Fasth 2004,2007. Lamprecht 2001). However, it is not understood if they are a cause or a consequence of the inflammatory processes. Here we will study
    both the function of these cells as well as their distribution/phenotype. Parallel studies are being performed in patients with different rheumatic diseases which will be used as disease controls. These studies will primarily be performed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells by the use of flow cytometry. For this purpose heparinized venous blood will be taken at time points when blood is also drawn for clinical use.

    The following samples will be taken for local sub-study b at 0 and 6 months

    • 2 x 10 mls blood at entry and at 6 months. Blood (10 ml) will also be drawn in case of relapse during 18 month follow-up.

    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    - New diagnosis of AASV (WG or MPA) (within the previous 6 months)
    - Active disease (defined by at least one major or three minor BVAS 2003 items (criteria listed in appendix 1 in the protocol)
    - ANCA positivity (c-ANCA and PR3-ANCA or p-ANCA and MPO-ANCA) or histology confirming active vasculitis from any organ (as defined in appendix 1 in the protocol)
    - Written informed consent
    As specified in amendment no. 1, Sweden:
    - only adult patients older than 18 years will be recruited
    - women can be recruited only if they have a negative pregnancy test (pregnancy test will be performed during the 1st visit)

    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    - Previous treatment with:
    1. MMF: more than two doses ever
    2. Cyclophosphamide: more than two weeks daily oral or more than 1 pulse of IV CYC (15mg/kg)
    3. Rituximab or high dose intravenous immunoglobulin within the last twelve months
    - Active infection (including hepatitis B, C, HIV and tuberculosis)
    - Known hypersensitivity to MMF, AZA or CYC
    - Cancer or an individual history of cancer (other than resected basal cell skin carcinoma)
    - Females who are pregnant, breat feeding, or at risk of pregnancy and not using a medically acceptable form of contraception
    - Any condition judged by the investigator that would cause the study to be detrimental to the patient
    - Any other multi-system autoimmune disease including Churg Strauss angiitis, SLE, anti GBM disease and cryoglobulianemia
    - Active serious digestive system disease (e.g. inflammatory bowel disease)
    - Patients with imminently life threatening vasculitis (diffuse alveolar haemorrhage, intestinal perforation or major haemorrhage, cerebral vasculitis and cardiac vasculitis)
    - Patients with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and declining renal function. Defined as estimated GFR fall >20% in previous two weeks
    - GFR < 15mls/min at entry or on dialysis



    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Proportion of patients achieving remission by 6 months. (Remission is defined as the absence of disease activity attributable to active vasculitis BVAS=0 on two occasions at least one month apart and adherence to prednisolone taper. Patients in remission require low dose immunosuppression and oral prednisolone to continue in order to maintain remission)
