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   44064   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7320   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 objective of this clinical study was to assess the safety of long-term therapy with Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) in those subjects who participated in C87085.
    Protection of trial subjects
    No specific additional measurements to minimise pain and distress were required, the safety of the subjects was closely followed as usual.
    Background therapy
    Background therapy was not required, but it was allowed if subjects entered the study on stable dose of e.g. immunosuppressants, corticosteroids, 5-ASA analogues (see inclusion criteria of feeder study C87085) and kept this throughout the study.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study started to enroll patients in May 2008 and concluded in Dec 2014. Participant Flow refers to the Safety Population including all enrolled subjects who received at least 1 open-label injection of study medication.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    406 subjects were screened: 3 subjects were considered as screen failures and were not enrolled. 403 subjects entered the study from C87085. 1 subject was enrolled in this study, but did not receive any open-label study medication and was withdrawn from the study; this subject was, therefore, not included in any of the analyses.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    31 Jul 2008
    Protocol Amendment 1, dated 31 Jul 2008, was implemented after 37 subjects were enrolled in the study. The protocol was amended: - To change the planned study period from a Treatment Period of 50 weeks (plus Safety Follow-up (SFU)) to 262 weeks (plus SFU) to allow for up to 5 years of treatment with Certolizumab Pegol (CZP). - To amend the inclusion criteria to allow enrollment of subjects only if they had completed the Treatment Period of C87085 prior to enrolling into C87088. - To correct typographical errors and to clarify further inconsistencies.
    28 May 2010
    Protocol Amendment 2, dated 28 May 2010, was implemented after 401 subjects were enrolled in the study. The protocol was amended: - To initiate implementation of the switch from administration of the reconstituted, lyophilized powder formulation of CZP to the bioequivalent, liquid formulation supplied in the prefilled syringe (PFS).To change the name and contact information for the Study Physician and Clinical Project Manager to reflect recent personnel changes at UCB. - To update the phone numbers for serious adverse event (SAE) reporting. - To update the List of Abbreviations to reflect the changes to the protocol. - To adapt recruitment numbers to reflect the actual recruitment status at the time of the amendment. - To correct information on autoantibody samples that were previously mistakenly labeled in the protocol as plasma samples but were actually serum samples. As per the laboratory manual used for this study, these samples were drawn and processed as serum samples since the beginning of the study. Due to an oversight, this information was not changed from “plasma” to “serum” samples in Protocol Amendment 1. - To revise the schedule of assessments to include instructions for switching subjects from CZP lyophilized powder to PFS, and to change “plasma”-autoantibodies to “serum”-autoantibodies. - To update the protocol with information on the clinical supply of CZP PFS (description, packaging, and labeling) to be used in the switch from the lyophilized formulation to PFS. - To update the protocol with details of the switch from the lyophilized powder formulation of CZP to the PFS. - To add updates and clarifications to the definitions, reporting procedures, and follow up for adverse events (AEs), pregnancies, and SAEs, and to add a subsection to the protocol on AEs of special interest. - To correct Financial Disclosure responsibilities to comply with UCB's current Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). - To make administrative changes.
