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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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 this study is to evaluate the efficacy of HMPL-004 given at 1200 mg/day, or 1800 mg/day in three divided doses, compared with placebo, in patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis as defined by the percent of patients in each treatment group attaining clinical response at week 8, which is a decrease in the Mayo Score from the baseline by ≥ 3 points AND ≥ 30% decrease in the Mayo score along with either a decrease in the rectal bleeding score ≥ 1 OR an absolute rectal bleeding score ≤ 1.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    • To determine if there is a significant difference in the proportion of patients in each treatment group with a clinical remission at week 8.
    • To determine if there is a significant difference in the proportion of patients in each treatment group with a significant decrease from baseline in the Mayo endoscopy sub score ≥ 1 AND absolute score ≤ 1 (mucosal healing).
    • To determine the time to response
    • To compare the decrease in the mean and median Mayo Score at baseline and week 8 in each treatment group.
    • To determine if there is a significant difference in any of the above efficacy measurements in patients with/without Mesalamine used as a concomitant medication.
    • To assess if there is a dose response difference in any of the above efficacy measurements in patients with two dose level of the HMPL-004.
    • To assess safety in patients

    Exploratory Objective:
    To determine normalization of the CRP values in those patients entering the study with elevated values.
