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   43846   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    please refer to the protocol
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Parent’s or legal guardian’s written informed consent and child’s assent, if appropriate, or patient’s informed consent for ≥ 18 years of age before any study related activity is performed.
    2. The following patients are eligible to participate in the open label extension study (CACZ885G2301E1):
    • Patients from study CACZ885G2305 or CACZ885G2301 who achieved an adapted ACR pediatric 30 response 15 days after their initial dose of canakinumab but clinically deteriorated afterwards or a minimum ACR Pediatric 30 response was not maintained after Day 15 and intervention is deemed necessary by the investigator.
    • Patients in study CACZ885G2301 who are not eligible to enter Part II (withdrawal part) because they were not able to meet the corticosteroid entry criteria of 0.5 mg/kg oral prednisone (or equivalent) or were not able to taper their steroids by at least 0.3 mg/kg (please refer to CACZ885G2301 protocol for detailed rules)
    • Responder patients in Part I or Part II who were maintaining their minimum ACR pediatric 30 response or had not flared when CACZ885G2301 was stopped.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) female patients, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive urine pregnancy test
    2. Female patients having reached sexual maturity, (e.g. Tanner Stage 2 or above), i.e. being physiologically capable of becoming pregnant UNLESS they are:
    • Female patients whose career, lifestyle, or sexual orientation precludes intercourse with a male partner and/or
    • Using an acceptable method of contraception with a failure rate (Pearl Index (PI)) < 1. Reliable contraception should be maintained throughout the study and for 2 months after study drug discontinuation.
    3. History of hypersensitivity to study drug or to biologics.
    4. Diagnosis of active macrophage-activation syndrome (MAS) (Ravelli, Magni-Manzoni and Pistorio 2005) during the CACZ885G2305 or CACZ885G2301
    5. With active or recurrent bacterial, fungal or viral infection at the time of enrollment, including patients with evidence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C infection
    6. Risk factors for tuberculosis (TB) such as:
    • History of any of the following: residence in a congregate setting (e.g. jail or prison, homeless shelter, or chronic care facility), substance abuse (e.g. injection or noninjection); health-care workers with unprotected exposure to patients who are at high risk of TB or patients with TB disease before the identification and correct airborne precautions of the patient, or
    • Close contact (i.e. share the same air space in a household or other enclosed environment for a prolonged period (days or weeks, not minutes or hours)) with a person with active pulmonary TB disease within the last year.
    7. With underlying metabolic, renal, hepatic, infectious or gastrointestinal conditions which in the opinion of the investigator immunocompromises the patient and/ or places the patient at unacceptable risk for participation in an immunodulatory therapy. In particular, clinical evidence or history of multiple sclerosis or other demyelinating diseases, or Felty’s syndrome
    8. With significant medical conditions, which in the opinion of the Investigator will exclude the patient from the study (can be discussed on a case by case basis with Novartis)
    9. History of malignancy of any organ system (other than localized basal cell carcinoma of the skin), treated or untreated, within the past 5 years, regardless of whether there is evidence of local recurrence or metastases
    10. Live vaccinations within 3 months prior to the start of the study. Killed or inactivated vaccines may be permitted according to the investigator’s discretion.
    11. Donation or loss of blood (amount depending on age and weight, 10-20% or more of volume, see Appendix 3) within 8 weeks prior to first dosing, or longer if required by local regulation.
    12. Familial and social conditions rendering regular medical assessment not possible
    13. History of drug or alcohol abuse within the 12 months prior to dosing.
