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   43839   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7280   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
    The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy of BG9924 when administered in combination with MTX to subjects with active RA who have had an inadequate response to anti-TNF therapy. The primary efficacy outcome measure is the proportion of subjects with ACR50 at week 14. To achieve ACR50 response, a 50% improvement compared to baseline is required for both swollen and tender joint counts, as well as 3 out of 5 additional parameters: subject's global assessment of disease activity, investigator's global assessment of disease activity, subject's assessment of pain, HAQ-DI and hsCRP or ESR.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To assess the safety and tolerability of BG9924 in this patient population.
    To assess the PK and PD profile of BG9924 in this patient population.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Study sites may choose to participate in an optional PK sub-study. Approximately 20 consenting subjects will have 6 additional visits following Visits 1 (Visits 1a and 1b), 3 (Visit 3a), and 8 (Visits 8a, 8b, and 8c). Blood samples for FACS analysis will also be taken from subjects participating in this sub-study.
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Unless otherwise specified, to be eligible to participate in this study, candidates must meet the following eligibility criteria at Day 0 (Visit 1/Week 0):
    1.Must give written informed consent and any authorizations required by local law (e.g., Protected Health Information [PHI]).
    2.Aged 18 to 75 years old, inclusive, at the time of informed consent.
    3.Must have a diagnosis of adult onset RA according to the 1987 Revised American Rheumatism Association Criteria for the Classification of Rheumatoid Arthritis (Functional Class I–III) (Appendix A) for at least 6 months prior to Day 0.
    4.Must have been treated with, and be tolerating, MTX (>or=10 mg/week to <or=25 mg/week) for at least 3 months immediately prior to Day 0. The dose of MTX must be stable for at least 4 weeks prior to Day 0.
    5.Must have had an inadequate response to anti-TNF therapy (etanercept, infliximab, or adalimumab) due to inadequate efficacy or toxicity.
    6.Must have a Swollen Joint Count (SJC) >or=8 and a Tender Joint Count (TJC) >or=8 (66/68 joint count at Screening).
    7.Must have elevated hsCRP >or=≥1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or
    ESR ≥28 mm/hr at Screening.
    8.Must be willing to receive oral folate (>or=5 mg/week) for the duration of the study.

    4.History of clinically significant (as determined by Investigator) cardiac, allergic, endocrinologic, pulmonary, neurologic, psychiatric, hepatic, renal or hematologic insufficiency, or any major disease that could affect any of the efficacy assessments, in particular, joint pain and swelling (e.g. Parkinsons disease, cerebral palsy, diabetic neuropathy)
    5.Subjects with rheumatic autoimmune disease other than RA, or significant systemic involvement secondary to RA (including but not limited to vasculitis, pulmonary fibrosis, or Felty's syndrome). Secondary Sjogren's syndrome or secondary limited cutaneous vasculitis within RA is permitted

When PPD induration is >or=5 mm, but <10 mm the subject is eligible for the study if they have had a negative chest x-ray during screening period. There must be no other clinical evidence of TB on physical examination of the subject. Note: Subjects who have had prior adequate prophylaxis treatment for latent TB with an appropriate course of isoniazid (INH) or equivalent, per country standards, are not excluded from study participation.
