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   43843   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.

    relapse occurrence in Study Part One.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Patients eligible for inclusion in this study have to fulfill all of the following criteria:
    1. Written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment is performed.
    2. Patients who have completed designated ongoing or planned Novartis global clinical trials with fingolimod and are unable to obtain fingolimod outside a clinical trial.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Patients fulfilling any of the following criteria are not eligible for inclusion in this study:
    1. Premature permanent discontinuation from any fingolimod study due to:
    a. An adverse event or serious adverse event or laboratory abnormality, except pregnancy.
    b. Conditions leading to permanent study drug discontinuation. Patients who temporarily or permanently discontinued from any fingolimod study can be re-enrolled.
    2. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive hCG laboratory test (> 5 mIU/ml). Patients who temporarily or permanently discontinued from any fingolimod study because of pregnancy can be re-enrolled.
    3. Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming
    pregnant, UNLESS they are using highly effective contraception during the study and for 2 months after stopping treatment. 'Highly effective contraception' defined as contraception which results in less than 1% unwanted pregnancies when used properly according to the label.
    Women are considered post-menopausal and not of child bearing potential if they have had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical profile (e.g. age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms) or have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks prior to baseline. In the case
    of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment is she considered not of child bearing potential.
    4. Chronic disease of the immune system other than MS which may require immunosuppressive treatment.
    5. Severe active infection or active chronic infection.
    6. Previous treatment with cladribine, yclophosphamide or mitoxantrone.
    7. Treatment with monoclonal antibodies (including Natalizumab) in the past 3 months.
    8. Uncontrolled diabetes (HBA1c>9%).
    9. Macular edema at baseline.
    10. Any medically unstable condition that may interfere with the patient’s ability to cooperate and comply with the study procedures, as assessed by the treating physician.
    11. Any of the following cardiovascular conditions that have developed during the previous fingolimod study or observed at the enrollment visit:
    a. myocardial infarction within the past 6 months prior to enrollment or current unstable ischemic heart disease;
    b. cardiac failure at screening (Class III & IV, according to New York Heart Association Classification) or any severe cardiac disease as determined by the investigator;
    c. patients receiving current treatment with Class Ia or III antiarrhythmic drugs (e.g., quinidine, disopyramide, amiodarone, bretylium, sotalol, ibulitide, azimilide, dofelitide, ajmaline, procainamide);
    d. 2nd degree AV block Type II or 3rd degree AV block or corrected QTc interval >450 msec in males or 470 msec in females.
    e. sick sinus syndrome or sino-atrial heart block;
    f. uncontrolled hypertension;
    12. Any of the following pulmonary conditions during the previous fingolimod study or observed at the enrollment visit:
    a. severe respiratory disease or pulmonary fibrosis;
    b. active tuberculosis.
    c. in patients enrolling from studies with regular spirometry: reduction of FEV1, FVC and/or DLCO below 60% of core study baseline values or if FEV1, FVC and/or DLCO at extension study baseline is the second of two consecutive pulmonary function tests with values <80% of core study baseline.
    13. Severe liver impairment or chronic liver disease.
    14. Positive screening for serological markers for hepatitis A, B, C, and E indicating acute
    or chronic infection:
    • anti-hepatitis A virus IgM,
    • hepatitis B surface antigen and/or anti-hepatitis B core antigen IgM,
    • anti-hepatitis C virus IgG or IgM,
    • anti-hepatitis E virus IgM (if positive IgG: do hepatitis E virus-RNA polymerase
    chain reaction; if negative, patient can be included).
    Note: The following patients, assuming they have normal aminotransferase activities, can
    be included in the trial:
    • those testing positive for hepatitis B surface antibody, indicating hepatitis B
    immunization -OR-
    • those testing positive for anti-hepatitis B core antigen IgG, indicating a cured
    hepatitis B -OR-
    • those testing positive for anti-hepatitis A virus IgG, indicating a cured hepatitis A.
    For a detailed descrition of all exclusion criteria, please see section 4.2 of the enclosed protocol.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    For Part 1: Long-term safety will be assessed based on adverse events (AEs), Physical/neurological examination, laboratory evaluation, eye exam, ECG and vital signs, as well as other investigations performed when clinically indicated.
    For Part 2 :
    During Study Part Two, only adverse events, first dose monitoring, vital
    signs, Ophthalmological exam/OCT, physical/neurological examination and relapse are collected.

    Study Part One or Study Part Two will also be summarized where
    appropriate.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

    months beginning after Month 12 at Month 18 (v6). Biomarkers to be
    collected at EOS in a subset of patients meeting pre-specified criteria, eye examination yearly after the first year, urine pregnancy test at the 6 months visit
    For Part 2 :
    Visits at Month 1, Month 3, Month 6*, Month 12*, and every 6 months
    until Study Completion.
    * No eye exam.
