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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Subjects enrolled at 31 sites in Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy,Slovakia, Spain, and the United States. Subjects were methotrexate (MTX)-naive or had been withdrawn from MTX at least 2 weeks prior to study drug administration (non-MTX stratum), or were inadequate responders to MTX and continued MTX treatment (MTX stratum).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 171 subjects entered the Open-Label Lead-In (OL-LI) phase and received adalimumab; 160 subjects completed the OL-LI phase; and 133 entered the 32-week Double-Blind Phase (75 in the MTX stratum; 58 in the non-MTX stratum) and were randomized to adalimumab or placebo. For all groups, started indicates when subjects entered the DB Phase.

    Number of Subjects in the Non-MTX Stratum With Disease Flare During the Double-Blind Phase
    End point description
    The primary efficacy endpoint was the number of adalimumab-treated subjects in the non-MTX stratum with disease flare during the Double-Blind Phase compared with the number of placebo-treated subjects in the non-MTX stratum with disease flare during the double-blind phase. Subjects met the criteria for disease flare if they had 1) >= 30% worsening in at least 3 of the 6 Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) core set criteria and a minimum of 2 active joints, and 2) >= 30% improvement in not more than 1 of the 6 JRA core set criteria.

    Statistical Analysis 1
    Statistical analysis description
    The study was sized to detect a difference in the proportion of subjects (40%) between placebo and the active adalimumab dose group who would experience disease flare assuming a placebo rate of 70% vs. a rate of 30% in the active group. Assuming a binomial distribution, an alpha of 0.05, 80% power, two-sided test, and an initial monotherapy responder rate of 70%, a minimum of 29 subjects were needed per treatment group within the appropriate strata.

    Double-Blind Adalimumab + MTX
    Reporting group description
    Subjects in the methotrexate (MTX) stratum, who had an inadequate response to MTX and were adalimumab responders during the Open-Label Lead-In (OL-LI) phase, received adalimumab (24 mg/square meter of body surface area [BSA], up to a maximum of 40 mg total body dose administered subcutaneously every other week) plus concomitant MTX treatment during the Double-Blind Phase of the study. MTX-treated inadequate responders must have had active disease on MTX treatment for at least 3 months prior to screening.

    Reporting group title
    Double-Blind Placebo + MTX
    Reporting group description
    Subjects in the methotrexate (MTX) stratum, who had an inadequate response to MTX and were adalimumab responders during the Open-Label Lead-In (OL-LI) phase, received placebo (24 mg/square meter of body surface area [BSA], up to a maximum of 40 mg total body dose administered subcutaneously every other week) plus concomitant MTX treatment during the Double-Blind Phase of the study. MTX-treated inadequate responders must have had active disease on MTX treatment for at least 3 months prior to screening.

    Reporting group title
    Double-Blind Adalimumab
    Reporting group description
    Subjects in the non-methotrexate (MTX) stratum who were either naïve to MTX or withdrawn from MTX at least 2 weeks prior to study drug administration, and were adalimumab responders during the OL-LI phase, received adalimumab (24 mg/square meter of body surface area [BSA], up to a maximum of 40 mg total body dose administered subcutaneously every other week), but no concomitant MTX treatment, during the Double-Blind Phase of the study.

    Reporting group title
    Double-Blind Placebo
    Reporting group description
    Subjects in the non-methotrexate (MTX) stratum who were either naïve to MTX or withdrawn from MTX at least 2 weeks prior to study drug administration, and were adalimumab responders during the OL-LI phase, received placebo (24 mg/square meter of body surface area [BSA], up to a maximum of 40 mg total body dose, administered subcutaneously every other week), but no concomitant MTX treatment, during the Double-Blind Phase of the study.

    Reporting group title
    Open-Label Extension BSA Adalimumab + MTX
    Reporting group description
    Subjects in the methotrexate (MTX) stratum received subcutaneous injections of 24 mg adalimumab per square meter of body surface area (BSA) up to a maximum of 40 mg total body dose every other week (eow) concomitantly with MTX treatment during the Open-Label Extension BSA Phase of the study.

    Reporting group title
    Open-Label Extension BSA Adalimumab
    Reporting group description
    Subjects in the non-methotrexate (MTX) stratum received adalimumab (24 mg/square meter of body surface area [BSA], up to a maximum of 40 mg total body dose SC eow) without concomitant MTX treatment during the Open-Label Extension BSA Phase.

    Reporting group title
    Open-Label Extension FD Adalimumab + MTX
    Reporting group description
    Subjects in the methotrexate (MTX) stratum received adalimumab concomitantly with MTX treatment during the Open-Label Extension (OLE) Fixed Dose (FD) Phase of the study, in which subjects were dosed based on body weight (not BSA). Subjects were separated into 2 body weight categories; subjects weighing less than 30 kg were dosed with 20 mg of adalimumab SC eow, and subjects weighing 30 kg or more were dosed with 40 mg of adalimumab SC eow.
