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   43861   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
    To assess the effect of canakinumab on the clinical signs and symptoms of Schnitzler Syndrome (SchS)
    Protection of trial subjects
    Canakinumab (Ilaris®, L04AC04, Novartis International AG, CH-4002 Basel, Switzerland) is a recombinant high-affinity monoclonal antibody that neutralizes IL-1β, a key mediator of local and systemic inflammatory reactions. Canakinumab is indicated for adults and children over 4 years for treatment of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) including familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome (FCAS), MuckleWells syndrome (MWS) and neonatal onset multi-system inflammatory disease (NOMID/CINCA). In addition, it has been successfully tested for gout, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) and other autoinflammatory diseases. On the basis of the good response to treatment with anakinra it is supposed that canakinumab may be highly effective in SchS too. Safety assessment included adverse event reporting and routine clinical and laboratory assessments. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were followed.
