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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Efficacy:
    Assess the efficacy, relative to placebo, of 40 mg basiliximab given intravenously, at 2 week intervals for a total of 3 doses, with concomitant oral corticosteroids, in subjects with steroid-refractory, moderate to severe Ulcerative Colitis. A total of 3 doses will be administered during the 8 week duration of the trial.


    Safety:
    Evaluate the overall safety of this multiple-dose regimen in this patient population.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary objectives are to assess:
    • Efficacy, relative to placebo, of basiliximab 20 mg, given with concomitant
    oral corticosteroids, according to the same schedule
    • Safety of basiliximab 20 mg multiple-dose regimen
    • Pharmacokinetics of both basiliximab regimens in this population
    • Immunogenicity of multiple doses of basiliximab through measurement of
    formation of antibodies to basiliximab, and monitoring for hypersensitivity
    reactions
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    The complete description of these studies is included within the protocol BSX-001, Amendment 1, dated 10th November 2006

    Pharmacodynamics

    An optional substudy will be conducted in approximately 50 adult subjects at selected sites. This substudy will assess basiliximab pharmacodynamics through the following analyses:
    • Saturation and/or depletion of circulating CD25 receptors will be assessed via a Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) lymphocyte subset analysis of whole blood collected from consenting subjects at the Day 1, Week 4, and Week 8 study visits. A total CD3 count will also be determined.
    • In the same subjects, saturation and/or depletion of tissue CD25 receptors will be assessed via immunohistochemical analysis of rectal biopsy tissue obtained during the Screening, Week 4, and the Week 8 endoscopic procedure.
    The results of these analyses will also be correlated with serum basiliximab trough levels in the subjects from the active treatment groups.

    Steroid Resistance Biomarker Evaluation

    An optional substudy will be conducted in approximately 30 adult subjects at selected sites in the U.K. The following evaluations will be performed at the Biomarker Substudy Laboratory (University of Bristol, UK):
    • Dexamethasone inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation, with and without autologous serum (Creed, 2003)
    • Assessment of CD25+ cell subsets
    • Assessment of DNA polymorphisms linked to steroid sensitivity. Stored DNA (from white cells) will not be used for any other purpose.
    Any cells not used in the above assays may be stored for additional related cell signaling studies.
