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   43858   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objectives of this study in adult subjects with moderate to severe RA responding inadequately to MTX are as follows: - To demonstrate the superiority of short term (Week 12) treatment in CZP+MTX randomized subjects as compared with ADA+MTX randomized subjects; - To demonstrate the superiority of long term (Week 104) treatment in CZP+MTX randomized subjects as compared with ADA+MTX randomized subjects, with subjects who switch treatment (Week 12 Non Responders) counted as treatment failures.
    Gli obiettivi primari di questo studio su soggetti adulti con AR da moderata a grave che non risponde adeguatamente a MTX sono i seguenti: - dimostrare la superiorità del trattamento a breve termine (Settimana 12) con CZP+MTX rispetto ad ADA+MTX; - dimostrare la superiorità del trattamento a lungo termine (Settimana 104) con CZP+MTX rispetto ad ADA+MTX, con i soggetti che passano da un trattamento all’altro (Non-responder alla Settimana 12) considerati come fallimenti terapeutici.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    • To investigate whether a Week 12 decision point is better at predicting the long term (Week 104) treatment success with CZP+MTX as compared with a Week 12 decision point with ADA+MTX • To compare the percentage of subjects who meet ACR20 criteria at Week 6 between the CZP+MTX- and ADA+MTX randomized arms • To compare the percentage of subjects with DAS28(ESR) LDA at Week 6 between the CZP+MTX- and ADA+MTX randomized arms • To compare the percentage of subjects with DAS28(ESR) LDA at Week 12 between the CZP+MTX- and ADA+MTX randomized arms. FOR OTHER SECONDARY OBJECTIVES PLEASE REFER TO PROTOCOL - par 3.2 (END OF ALLOWED CHARACTERS).
    - Valutare se un punto decisionale fissato alla Settimana 12 consenta di predire il successo del trattamento a lungo termine (Settimana 104) con CZP+MTX meglio di un punto decisionale fissato alla Settimana 12 per il trattamento con ADA+MTX;- confrontare la percentuale di soggetti che soddisfano i criteri ACR20 alla Settimana 6 tra il braccio randomizzato a CZP+MTX e il braccio randomizzato ad ADA+MTX;- confrontare la percentuale di soggetti che presentano DAS28(VES) LDA alla Settimana 6 tra il braccio randomizzato a CZP+MTX e il braccio randomizzato ad ADA+MTX;- confrontare la percentuale di soggetti che presentano DAS28(VES) LDA alla Settimana 12 tra il braccio randomizzato a CZP+MTX e il braccio randomizzato ad ADA+MTX; PER GLI ALTRI OBIETTIVI SECONDARI SI PREGA DI FARE RIFERIMENTO AL PROTOCOLLO – par 3.2 (FINE CARATTERI DISPONIBILI).

Subject is >=18 years of age at Screening. 4. Subject must have a diagnosis of RA at Screening, as defined by the 2010 EULAR/ACR classification criteria (Aletaha D et al, 2010). 5. Subject must have a positive rheumatoid factor (RF) and/or a positive anti cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP) at Screening. 6.

Subject must have inadequately responded previously to MTX. Methotrexate-inadequate response is defined as not having achieved DAS28(ESR) <= 3.2 during the 3 to 6 months prior to the Screening Visit according to the Investigator. 8. Subject is using MTX 15 to 25mg/week orally or subcutaneously at Baseline and has used the same MTX regimen (dose and route) during the 56 days prior to Baseline. A MTX dose at a minimum of 10mg/wk orally or subcutaneously is acceptable for subjects considered by the Investigator to be intolerant to a higher dose of MTX. 9. Subject, if using oral corticosteroids at Baseline, is receiving at a stable dose of <= 10mg (unchanged for at least 28 days prior to Baseline). 10. The subject, if female, must be either postmenopausal for at least 1 year, surgically incapable of childbearing, or effectively practicing an acceptable method of contraception (oral/parenteral/implantable hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine device, or barrier and spermicide). Abstinence only is not an acceptable method. Subjects must agree to use adequate contraception from Screening through at least 10 weeks (or longer if required by local regulations) after the final dose of IMP. Male subjects must agree to ensure they or their female partner(s) use adequate contraception from Screening through at least 10 weeks (or longer if required by local regulations) after the final dose of IMP.

Secondo il giudizio dello Sperimentatore il soggetto è affidabile e in grado di attenersi ai requisiti del protocollo (p. es. è in grado di comprendere e compilare i diari), al programma delle visite e alle istruzioni circa l’assunzione dei farmaci in studio. 3. Allo Screening il soggetto è maggiorenne. 4. Allo Screening il soggetto deve presentare una diagnosi di AR come definita in base ai criteri classificativi ACR/EULAR 2010 (Aletha D. et al., 2010). 5.

Al Basale il soggetto assume MTX a una dose di 15-25 mg/settimana per via orale o sottocutanea e ha assunto lo stesso regime (dose e via di somministrazione) nei 56 giorni precedenti il Basale. Per i soggetti che lo Sperimentatore considera intolleranti a una dose maggiore è accettabile una dose di MTX di almeno 10 mg/settimana per via orale o sottocutanea. 9. Qualora al Basale il soggetto assuma corticosteroidi per via orale, la dose deve essere stabile (senza variazioni da almeno 28 giorni precedenti il Basale) e &lt;= 10 mg. 10.

La sola astinenza dai rapporti sessuali non è considerata un metodo accettabile. I soggetti devono accettare di utilizzare metodi contraccettivi adeguati dallo Screening fino ad almeno 10 settimane (o più a lungo se previsto dalla normativa locale) dopo l’ultima dose di IMP. I soggetti di sesso maschile devono garantire di utilizzare, e che la/le loro partner utilizzi/no, metodi contraccettivi adeguati dallo Screening fino ad almeno 10 settimane (o più a lungo se previsto dalla normativa locale) dopo l’ultima dose di IMP.

    Among the others: 1) The percentage of subjects with DAS28(ESR) LDA at Week 104 comparing the Week 12 Responder groups (Group A versus Group C). 2) The percentage of subjects with DAS28(ESR) LDA at Week 6 using all subjects, comparing the CZP+MTX randomized arm and the ADA+MTX randomized arm. 3) The percentage of subjects with DAS28(ESR) LDA at Week 12 using all subjects, comparing randomized treatment groups CZP+MTX and ADA+MTX. 4) The percentage of subjects with DAS28(ESR) LDA at Week 104 comparing the Week 12 Responder groups (Group A versus Group C), who also responded at Week 6 (ie, DAS28(ESR) <= 3.2 or a DAS28(ESR) CFB reduction of >= 1.2).
    Tra gli altri: 1) la percentuale di soggetti che raggiungono la DAS28(VES) LDA alla Settimana 104, confrontando i gruppi di soggetti Responder della Settimana 12 (Gruppo A vs Gruppo C). 2) la percentuale di soggetti che raggiungono la DAS28(VES) LDA alla Settimana 6 considerando tutti i soggetti, confrontando il braccio randomizzato a CZP+MTX vs. il braccio randomizzato ad ADA+MTX. 3) la percentuale di soggetti che raggiungono la DAS28(VES) LDA alla Settimana 12 considerando tutti i soggetti, confrontando il braccio randomizzato a CZP+MTX vs. il braccio randomizzato ad ADA+MTX. 4) la percentuale di soggetti che raggiungono la DAS28(VES) LDA alla Settimana 104, confrontando i gruppi di soggetti Responder della Settimana 12 (Gruppo A vs Gruppo C) che hanno inoltre risposto alla Settimana 6 (es DAS28(VES) LDA <= 3,2 o DAS28(VES) riduzione rispetto al Baseline >= 1,2).
