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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the study is to confirm the clinical efficacy of epratuzumab in the treatment of subjects with moderately to severely active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) despite standard of care treatments (ie, corticosteroids and potentially antimalarials and immunosuppressants) continued from Baseline.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients were pre-medicated prior to infusion of Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) to prevent infusion reactions. During the conduct of the study all subjects were closely monitored.
    Background therapy
    		 • Subjects must be receiving concomitant oral corticosteroids within the range of 5 to 60mg/day prednisone equivalents, dependent on the investigator’s assessment of disease activity, at a stable dose for at least 5 days (±1 day) prior to Week 0 (Visit 2) and the first study drug infusion. Tapering of oral corticosteroids after Week 4 (Visit 6) to a target dose of ≤7.5mg/day prednisone equivalents is encouraged during the study. • If the subject is receiving concomitant antimalarials, they must have been receiving them for at least 12 weeks prior to Screening/Baseline (Visit 1), with a stable dose regimen for at least 28 days (±1 day) prior to Week 0 (Visit 2) and the first study drug infusion. The antimalarial dose should be continued at a stable dose (same as Baseline dose) during the study. • If the subject is receiving concomitant immunosuppressants, they must be on a stable dose for at least 28 days (±1 day) prior to Week 0 (Visit 2) and the first study drug infusion. The immunosuppressants dose should be continued at a stable dose (same as Baseline dose) during the study. • Subjects receiving memantine, bromocriptine (Parlodel), danazol, dapsone, dehydroepiandrosterone, or retinoids must be on a stable dose for 28 days (±1 day) prior to Visit 2 and the first study drug infusion. The dose must remain stable during the study until Week 24 (Visit 14), after which time it may be held stable or decreased based on the investigator’s judgment of the subject’s disease activity and health status.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    22 Nov 2011
    The protocol was amended for the following reasons: - To change the name and contact information of the Clinical Trial Biostatistician and Study Physician - To add additional exploratory endpoints for assessment of the SF-36 and flares - To clarify the guidance for use of oral corticosteroids for the investigator - To add the sampling time points for overall B and T cell levels during the study and to add a body weight measurement at Week 48. These were inadvertently omitted from the original protocol - To modify Inclusion Criterion #5 for female subjects to allow abstinence alone and condoms/diaphragm use without adjunct spermicide - To modify Exclusion Criterion #15 to clarify that subjects who had previously received Emab treatment were excluded from participation in this study - To update the withdrawal criteria list: subjects who received a live vaccine during the study must have been withdrawn - To increase the Wash-Out Period for the prohibited concomitant treatment TACI-Ig (Atacicept®) from 3 months to 10 months based on recently reported data. The screening window had been increased from 2 days to 5 days, to allow the Screening Period to be extended after discussion with and approval of the medical monitor if it was in the best interest of the subject, and to allow rescreening of subjects on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the medical monitor - To add additional details to the description of the SF-36 assessment - To include a list of Anticipated SAEs in compliance with the recent US FDA guidance on safety reporting requirements for studies conducted under an open Investigational New Drug Application (Food and Drug Administration [FDA], Guidance for Industry and Investigators, 2010) - To modify the definition of the Pharmacokinetic Set (PKS) to include the requirement of at least 1 Emab plasma concentration measurement In addition, a few clarifications, inconsistencies, and typographical errors had been made/corrected within the protocol text
    09 May 2014
    The protocol was amended at the request of the German Regulatory Authority PEI to clarify details of the BILAG assessment, to introduce a list of adverse events (AEs) of special interest, and to clarify further actions after identification of an AE of special interest. Additional changes were as follows: - Updated study contact information - Updated SAE reporting information - Revised the exploratory endpoints for assessment of flares and for assessment of the SLICC/ACR Damage score - Added an additional safety variable (incidence of hospitalizations/emergency room [ER] visits) - Clarified the guidance for use of oral corticosteroids for the investigator to note that subjects with increases in oral corticosteroids above the allowed levels for an SLE-related indication are considered nonresponders - Corrected the visit numbers cited in Exclusion Criterion #14 - Updated Steroid conversion table with additional corticosteroids - Updated the text “Preparation and administration of Emab and placebo” in order to clarify that it is recommended, but not mandatory, that subjects be premedicated before receiving an iv infusion - Updated the text “Handling and storage requirements” in order to clarify the process to follow in case of out-of-range temperatures - Updated the version number of the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions questionnaire to European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions 3 level version - Modified the generalized estimating equation (GEE) sensitivity analysis in order to avoid known violations of the missing completely at random assumption, and to be consistent with the current SAP. The original plan for assessing the impact of missing data on the primary endpoint has not changed - Modified the text “Safety analyses” to state that infection TEAEs will be identified by including all events in the coded SOC “Infections and infestations” rather than via a review of all AE terms prior to study unblinding, as originally planned
