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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 this study was to explore the effects of multiple regimens of natalizumab on disease activity and safety in participants with relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to evaluations being performed for eligibility. Subjects were given adequate time to review the information in the informed consent and were allowed to ask, and have answered, questions concerning all portions of the conduct of the study. Through the informed consent process each participant was made aware of the purpose of the study, the procedures, the benefits and risks of the study, the discomforts and the precautions taken. Any side effects or other health issues occurring during the study were followed up by the study doctor. Participants were able to stop taking part in the study at any time without giving any reason.

    Cumulative Number of Combined Unique Active Lesions [1]
    End point description
    Cumulative number of combined unique active lesions (sum of the number of new gadolinium (Gd)-enhancing lesions and new or newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions not associated with Gd-enhancement on T1 weighted scans) based on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans up to Week 60. Modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population: all randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug, had at least 1 efficacy assessment, and had no statistical protocol deviations.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    AEs were analyzed during the randomized and open-label periods separately. Randomized period: AEs, after 1st randomized dose on Day 0 and prior to open-label infusion of natalizumab at Week 60 (±5 days); SAEs also between Screening and dosing on Day 0.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Open-label period: on or after open-label infusion of natalizumab at Week 60 through to Week 72 (±2 weeks). If participant did not receive natalizumab infusions during the open-label period (Week 60 to Week 72), all events with an onset date after Day 0 were considered as occurring during the randomized treatment period.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    03 Mar 2011
    The primary reason for this amendment was the addition of optional exploratory pharmacogenomic analysis using DNA samples derived from whole blood collected at Baseline. The purpose of the analysis was to explore identification of genetic variation associated with study treatment response and to explore host genetic mutations that may increase individual subjects’ susceptibility or resistance to developing PML.
    28 Feb 2012
    The primary reason for this amendment was to align the safety information in the protocol related to the risk factors for the development of PML with the established risk factors described in the Patient Information Sheet and the ICF.
    16 Nov 2012
    The primary reason for this amendment was to revise the frequency of anti-JCV antibody testing in subjects who were anti-JCV antibody negative to align with the current safety recommendations for Tysabri.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
