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   44265   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7347   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.1.2Term Relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The main objectives of study CAMMS32400507 is to compare the safety and efficacy of 2 annual cycles of 12 mg/day intravenous (IV) alemtuzumab to 3-times weekly subcutaneous (SC) interferon beta-1a (Rebif) in patients with active relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) who have experienced at least 1 relapse during prior treatment with an interferon beta or glatiramer acetate, after having received that therapy for > 6 months
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary objectives of the CAMMS32400507 trial are:
    - Proportion of patients who are relapse free at Year 2
    - Change from baseline in EDSS
    - Acquisition of disability as measured by change from baseline in MSFC
    - Percent change from baseline in MRI-T2-hyperintense lesion volume at Year 2
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Three sub-studies are included in this protocol (same protocol version number and date) which will be conducted at selected centres on a subpopulation of patients:
    - Semen substudy. Semen analysis of sperm count and motility. If agglutination is present, subsequent testing for anti-sperm antibodies.
    - Expanded imaging substudy. Additional MTR (to measure abnormalities in normal-appearing white matter, which may be indicative of demyelination associated with the effects of MS) and/or MRS (thought to be a marker for axonal preservation and thus a useful counterpoint to MTR measurement of demyelination) and/or DWI (measuring diffusion of water in tissues, which can be adapted to reveal the state of white matter including demylenating MS lesions)
    - Pharmacokinetic substudy. PK samples drawn in two sub-cohorts (dense or sparse collection)
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    • Signed informed consent form (ICF)
    • Age 18 to 55 years old (inclusive) as of the date the ICF is signed

    Treatment post-study will be normal standard of care for RRMS. However, patients will be invited to participate in a separate extension protocol to provide long-term follow-up, including safety monitoring for at least 4 years following their last alemtuzumab treated after the present study ends. Subcutaneous interferon beta-1-treated patients who have completed 2 years on study will have the opportunity to crossover and receive alemtuzumab under the same extension protocol (see protocol)
