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   43845   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.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    07 Jul 2011
    Protocol Amendment 1, dated 07 Jul 2011, was implemented after the central ethics committee review of the initial protocol, when changes were deemed necessary for conduct of this study in Italy. This amendment occurred prior to inclusion of subjects. The following changes were made throughout the protocol: • Quality of Life assessments were altered (eg, removal of PRISM test, Euro QoL-5D changed to EQ-5D-3L). • Evaluation of healthcare use’ was added as an exploratory objective (and accordingly was added in list of other efficacy variables and concomitant procedures). • Laboratory assessments were centralized, except for ESR, TB and urine pregnancy testing.
    07 Jul 2011
    • Safety reporting was updated, with extension of the follow up period from 30 days to 10 weeks, and clarification that a serious AE (SAE) or an AE leading to premature discontinuation from the study had to be followed up until it had resolved, stabilized or the Investigator no longer felt it was clinically significant; TB and ischemic cardiac events were added to AEs of interest list; the anticipated AE list was removed. • Biomarkers assessments were updated (Week 0 assessment changed to Week -2). • Immunological assessments were updated (Week -2 assessment deleted, and Weeks 0, 2, 6, 12, and 36 assessments added to text). • For pregnancy testing and x-ray assessment, previously missing text was added (to correspond with schedule). • An explanation was added that EQ-5D-3L dimensions scores, VAS actual scores, and healthcare resource utilization scores would be summarized using descriptive statistics. • Previously termed ‘anticipated AEs’ in Appendices were renamed ‘predicted AEs,’ and those for CZP added. • Inclusion criterion number 9 was changed from ‘Subject is naïve or has received up to 1 prior anti-TNF therapy, which was not discontinued due to primary failure’ to ‘Subject is naïve to RA related biologics (eg, anti-TNF therapy). • Exclusion criteria numbers 13 to 17 regarding prior treatments were replaced with ‘Subject has received previous RA related biologics therapy (eg, anti-TNF)’.
    24 Oct 2011
    Protocol Amendment 2, dated 24 Oct 2011, was implemented after the Sponsor discussed the subgroup analysis with other experts. It was decided to remove the MRI assessments: although the use of gadolinium would have resulted in better data, this invasive method could have been a limiting factor and restrict recruitment. Lack of interest in MRI assessments at investigational sites also contributed to this decision. It was agreed that remaining methods would still provide sufficient data to monitor the response of joint synovitis and to investigate the predictability of an early sonography response for long-term response. The MRI Assessment was therefore removed from all applicable sections. In addition, clarification was added that methotrexate should be taken throughout the study without discontinuation, and that no dose adjustment was allowed except for documented intolerance or toxicity. This amendment was approved after one subject had been screened.
    06 Mar 2013
    Protocol Amendment 3, dated 06 Mar 2013, was implemented after to clarify objectives and endpoints of the study, to add a second reading of US images for the purpose of assessing interreader variability, to align the protocol with UCB standards in terms of definitions, naming conventions, and procedures, and to streamline the planned data analysis in alignment with the objectives. Specifically: • The secondary objective was modified to allow for more general conclusions on the results of US assessments; assessment of the changes in CRP and ESR were replaced with assessment of the relationship between US response and clinical response over time. • Endpoints were shifted in the appropriate sections in alignment with the objectives; in particular, CRP and ESR were moved to the Other Efficacy section. • The procedure of the analysis of US images was amended to allow for an assessment of interobserver reliability. • Clarifications and definitions were added to specify the study conduct and procedures.
    06 Mar 2013
    • Definitions were updated to be consistent with UCB standards (eg, specifications of tuberculosis [TB] assessments and the TEAE definition). • Study timelines were amended according to new forecasts. • Rescreening of subjects was allowed for screen-failed subjects. The following additional changes were made throughout the protocol: • The upper limit of the category Low Disease Activity was changed from <3.2 to ≤3.2. • The definition of clinical response based on DAS28-ESR was changed from a reduction of >1.2 scores in the DAS28-ESR to a reduction of ≥1.2 scores in the DAS28-ESR. • The Health assessment questionnaire (HAQ) was renamed Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI). • The term Investigator’s Assessment of Disease Activity (IGA) was changed to Physician’s Assessment of Disease Activity (PhGADA). • The abbreviation of Patient’s Assessment of Disease Activity (PGA) was changed to PtGADA. • The word parameter was replaced by the word variable. • HBV DNA requirements were clarified.
