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
    To assess whether the treatment effect of secukinumab vs. placebo at Week 12 (measured by ACR20 response rate and change from baseline in DAS28) is associated with the presence/absence of the HLA-DRB1 *04 allelic group in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 The study included a 12 week, randomized, double blind phase (part 1), a 40 week, open label phase (part 2), and a 3 month safety follow-up. Participants from the secukinumab arm, who completed part 1 and had an ACR50 or greater response at week 12, and participants from the placebo arm, who completed part 1, were eligible for the open label phase.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 101 Patients were enrolled in the study. One subject randomized to the placebo arm withdrew from the study before the first dose administration. One hundred participants received study treatment in part 1. Ten participants discontinued during part 1. At the end of part 1, 76 participants were eligible to take secukinumab treatment in part 2.

    End point title
    		 Change from baseline in Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) in association with the presence or absence of HLA-DRB1 04
    End point description
    The DAS28 is a measure of disease activity in RA. The score is calculated by a complex mathematical formula, which includes the tender joint count(TJC) and swollen joint count (SJC) out of a total of 28 joints, the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and the subject's 'global assessment' of disease activity/general health (GH). The subject's global assessment/GH was indicated by a visual analogue scale of 100 mm where the participant marked a point on a 100 mm line between 0 and 100 (0 indicated very good and 100 indicated very bad). The following formula was used to calculate DAS28: DAS-CRP = 0.56*sqrt(TJC28) + 0.28*sqrt(SJC28) = 0.36*ln(CRP+1) + 0.014*GH = 0.96. A DAS28-CRP score > 5.1 implies active disease, <3.2 implies controlled disease and <2.6 implied remission. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    09 May 2011
    In order to reduce the complexity of the study, blood sampling for Flow Cytometry studies was removed from the protocol.
    09 May 2011
    The duration of iv infusion in both treatment arms in Part 1 of the study was shortened to30 minutes from 120 minutes. Recent results from the clinical study (CAIN457A2228) that assessed the safety and tolerability of a shorter infusion time for secukinumab administration showed that secukinumab infusion over a 30-minute period is well tolerated and safe.
    06 Jun 2011
    Prior to FSFV, subjects were offered the opportunity to change for potential benefit (for subjects randomized to placebo) or continue potential benefit (for those subjects responding to treatment) of secukinumab.
    06 Jun 2011
    Subjects randomized to the placebo treatment who completed their Week 12 visit were offered open label treatment with secukinumab sc for 52 weeks.
    06 Jun 2011
    For subjects who achieved an ACR50 or greater response at Week 12, open label treatment was extended to total treatment duration of 52 weeks.
    06 Jun 2011
    Inclusion criterion no. 6 was re-worded for clarification
    20 Mar 2012
    The protocol was amended to clarify that subjects prematurely withdrawing from the study were intended to undergo a 12 weeks follow-up period, prior to the end of study visit.
    20 Mar 2012
    The screening window was extended to 28 days to facilitate recruitment.
    20 Mar 2012
    Further changes were made to clarify the treatment for subjects randomized to placebo, which were offered open-label treatment with secukinumab, to clarify unblinding procedures, testing procedure and interim analysis, and to facilitate study visit compliance.
    21 Mar 2013
    This amendment clarified the blinding and unblinding processes as well as the release of interim results to external parties after closing study Part 1
