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   44157   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7327   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.

    8. If using oral corticosteroids, must be on a stable dose equivalent to ≤ 10 mg of prednisone/day for at least 2 weeks prior to first administration of study agent. If currently not using corticosteroids, the subject must have not received oral corticosteroids for at least 2 weeks prior to first administration of study agent.

Female subjects of childbearing potential must test negative for pregnancy.

    10. Are considered eligible according to the following TB screening criteria:
    a. Have no history of latent or active TB prior to screening.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoint is the proportion of subjects with an ACR 20 response at Week 14. To address the primary objective, the proportion of subjects between the IV golimumab 2 mg/kg + MTX and IV placebo + MTX groups will be compared using a 2-sided (α = 0.05) Cochran Mantel Haenszel test, stratified by CRP level at screening (< 1.5 mg/dL or ≥ 1.5mg/dL).

    In this primary efficacy analysis, data from all randomized subjects will be analyzed according to their assigned treatment group. A last observation carried forward (LOCF) procedure will be used to impute the missing ACR components if the subject has data for at least 1 ACR component at Week 14. If a subject has no data for any ACR component at Week 14, the subject will be considered to not have achieved an ACR 20 response. In addition, subjects who meet any one of the following treatment failure rules will be considered to not have achieved the primary endpoint:
    • Increase in a subject’s MTX above baseline for RA.
    • Initiate treatment with DMARDs/systemic immunosuppressives and/or biologics for RA prior to Week 14.
    • Initiate treatment with oral corticosteroids for RA, increase the dose of oral corticosteroids for RA above the baseline dose, or receive IV or IM administration of corticosteroids for RA prior to Week 14.
    • Discontinue study agent infusions due to an unsatisfactory therapeutic effect prior to Week 14
