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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CNTO 136 (sirukumab) administered intravenously (IV) in subjects with active, International Society of Nephrology (ISN)/Renal Pathology Society (RPS) Class III and IV lupus nephritis (LN).
    Protection of trial subjects
    A Data Review Committee (DRC) was established that was composed of Johnson & Johnson clinicians and statisticians who were independent of the study team. The DRC was available to assess unblinded safety data and to make recommendations regarding the study, if needed, upon study team recommendation. Safety was assessed by monitoring (adverse effects (AEs), (serious adverse effects (SAEs), chemistry and hematology laboratory tests, lipid tests, vital signs, general physical examination and skin evaluations, concomitant medication review, (electrocardiogram (ECG) testing (heart rate, PR interval, QRS interval, QT interval, and QTc using QTcB and QTcF correction methods), pregnancy testing, infusion reactions, and antibodies to CNTO 136, as well as clinical assessments of their lupus disease.
    Background therapy
    Subjects were required to receive stable immunosuppression with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) 1 to 3 g/day (or equivalent dose of mycophenolic acid/ mycophenolate sodium [MPA]) with/without corticosteroids up to prednisone equivalent of 20 mg/day, or azathioprine 1 to 3 mg/kg/day with/without corticosteroids up to prednisone equivalent of 20 mg/day. They were also to be on a stable regimen of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and/or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), unless they were previously intolerant to or had contraindication to ACE inhibitors and ARBs.

    The study was conducted from 28 January 2011 to 25 September 2013 in 18 centers.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    An 8-week run-in period was used to establish the stability of baseline renal parameters prior to randomization and the first study agent administration. A total of 25 subjects were randomized and treated in the study: 21 subjects in the CNTO 136 group and 4 subjects in the placebo group.

    End point title
    Percent Reduction From Baseline in Proteinuria at Week 24 [1]
    End point description
    Percent reduction from baseline in proteinuria measured by protein/creatinine (P/C) ratio in a 12 hour urine collection obtained at Week 24. A last observation carried forward (LOCF) procedure was used to impute missing values if a subject had data for at least one post baseline evaluation. A negative percentage reduction indicates an increase (worsening) in urine proteinuria.
