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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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.

    Number of tender joints was determined by examining 28 joints and identified the joints that were painful under pressure or to passive motion. The number of tender joints was recorded on the joint assessment form at each visit, no tenderness = 0, tenderness = 1. A negative value in change from baseline indicates an improvement. Least square mean and standard error are estimated from an ANCOVA model with treatment, prior anti-TNF failure and geographic region as covariates. mITT population included all randomized subjects who received any portion of investigational product.

    Percentage of Subjects With Hybrid Measure of American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 
    End point description
    Average percentage improvement in ACR core set measures of subjects were calculated. If a core set measure worsened by 100%, that percentage improvement was limited to ­-100%. This measure was used to determine whether subject had achieved: ACR20, 50, or 70. ACR20, 50 or 70 responses: >=20 or 50 or 70% (respective) improvement in tender joint count or in swollen joint count; and >= 20 or 50 or 70% (respective) improvement in at least 3 of 5 remaining ACR core measures: subject assessment of pain; subject global assessment of disease activity; physician global assessment of disease activity; self ­assessed disability (disability index of the HAQ); and CRP. A table was used to obtain the Hybrid ACR response measure, where, ACR status of the subject (left column) and the mean percentage improvement in core set items was taken, the Hybrid ACR score is where they intersect in the table.

    Change From Baseline in C­-Reactive Protein (CRP) at Week 2, 8, 12, 16, 24
    End point description
    The test for CRP is a laboratory measurement for evaluation of an acute phase reactant of inflammation through the use of an ultrasensitive assay. Normal range of CRP is 0 milligram per liter (mg/L) to 100 mg/L. A decrease in the level of CRP indicates reduction in inflammation and therefore improvement. Least square mean and standard error are estimated from an ANCOVA model with treatment, prior anti-TNF failure and geographic region as covariates. mITT population included all randomized subjects who received any portion of investigational product. Missing values were imputed using LOCF.

    Change From Baseline in Duration of Morning Stiffness at Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24
    End point description
    Duration of morning stiffness is defined as the time elapsed when subject woke up in the morning and was able to resume normal activities without stiffness in minutes. Least square mean and standard error are estimated from an ANCOVA model with treatment, prior anti-TNF failure and geographic region as covariates. mITT population included all randomized subjects who received any portion of investigational product. Missing values were imputed using LOCF. Here "99999" in change from baseline in Duration of morning stiffness signifies not available (NA).

    HAQ-­DI: subject-reported assessment of ability to perform tasks in 8 functional categories of daily living activities: dress/groom; arise; eat; walk; reach; grip; hygiene; and common activities over past week. Each item scored on 4-­point scale from 0 to 3: 0=no difficulty; 1=some difficulty; 2=much difficulty; 3=unable to do. Overall score was computed as the sum of domain scores and divided by the number of domains answered. Total possible score range 0-­3, 0=least functional difficulty and 3=extreme functional difficulty. Change = observation overall score minus baseline overall score. Least square mean and standard error are estimated from an ANCOVA model with treatment, prior anti-TNF failure and geographic region as covariates. mITT population included all randomized subjects who received any portion of investigational product.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    30 Oct 2009
    Clarification of stable doses of methotrexate use throughout the course of the study was added. Documentation of tuberculosis test results were to be available 4 weeks prior to screening visit not baseline visit. Conclusion of Participation eCRF for subjects entering the Follow-up Phase was completed. The 2 urine tests were added to obtain a more sensitive measure of renal function.Text modified to include urine samples for future testing. Blood and urine samples were collected and stored for future safety testing if necessary.
    23 Feb 2010
    CRP inclusion criterion was modified to reflect changes in the normal range at the central lab over a period of time. As the normal value is =< 5 mg/L this new CRP represents a value 140% above the upper limit of normal (ULN). Added history of tuberculosis in exclusion criteria 5 to ensure subjects with higher risk (ie, history of TB) were not enrolled. Subjects with very low lymphocyte counts at screening were to be excluded from the study. Additional information was added to the protocol to help investigators determine the severity of injection site reactions that may occur in the study. Overdose language was clarified to ensure that dosing errors do not occur.
    02 Dec 2010
    The timing of vital signs was changed to correspond to the change in amount of time that subjects are required to stay at the site after dosing on days 1, 15, and 84. Chest x-ray was to be performed within 24 weeks of the screening visit documenting the absence of any significant findings was available, the screening X-ray was not required. On-site post-dose safety monitoring period was reduced as subjects were required to stay at the site for at least 6 hours after dosing on days 1, 15 and 84.
    12 Nov 2012
    Two new subject discontinuation criteria were added: subjects with B-cell levels that achieved a new stable baseline or subjects who completed 2 years of follow-up after the last dose of study drug administration. The recommended list of repeated laboratory tests was updated to include prothrombin time. More inclusive definition of AEs and of SAEs were added.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Certain secondary outcome measures (hybrid measure of ACR, ACR­-N, ACR-­n curve, EULAR response) were not analyzed due to the Sponsor’s decision to terminate development of the compound.
