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   43843   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.

    End point description
    WOMAC pain subscale consists of 5 questions (Likert Scale) relating to pain. Sum of items of pain subscale ranges from 0-11. Higher scores=worse pain. Stiffness subscale consists of 2 questions relating articular function. Sum of items of stiffness subscale ranges from 0-8. Higher scores=worse function. Physical function subscale consists of 1 question relating to physical activities. Sum of items of physical function subscale ranges from 0-68. Higher scores= worse functional limitations. Each sub-scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale, therefore WOMAC total score(24questions) is sum of subscale & ranges from0-100. Higher scores=worse condition. Negative value in change is indicative of improvement. “Number of subjects analyzed” = subjects evaluable for this endpoint & "n" included who were evaluable at specified timepoints.

    End point description
    The 20-meter walk test is an objective test of physical function which consists of measuring the time needed for the subject to walk 20 meters at a normal pace. A stopwatch was used for time measurement. Intention-to-Treat (ITT) analysis set included all subjects randomly allocated to a treatment, based on the intention to treat “as randomized” principle. Here “Number of subjects analyzed” = subjects evaluable for this outcome measure and "n" included those who were evaluable at specified timepoints.

    Change from Baseline in the Patient's Global Assessment (PGA) at Week 12, 26, 38, 52, 64, 78, 90 and 104
    End point description
    The Patient Global Assessment is based on subject’s answer to the question “Considering all the ways your osteoarthritis of the knee has affected you during the last 48 Hours, select the number that best describes the impact of your knee osteoarthritis on your daily life”, and can take on values between 0-10 (0=None, 10=Extreme), for summaries the values are rescaled to 0-100 by multiplication with 10. Higher scores indicated worsening of condition. A negative value in change in Patient's Global Assessment is indicative of an improvement. Intention-to-Treat (ITT) analysis set included all subjects randomly allocated to a treatment, based on the intention to treat “as randomized” principle. Here “Number of subjects analyzed” = subjects evaluable for this outcome measure and "n" included those who were evaluable at specified timepoints.

    Change from Baseline in Minimal Joint Space Width (mJSW) in the Medial and Lateral Compartments as Evaluated by X-ray at Week 52 and 104
    End point description
    Change in joint space narrowing was visualized with the “fixed flexion” knee radiograph. Determination of joint space narrowing by X-ray is considered to be a semi-quantitative method for assessment of progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). X-rays of both the target knee and the contralateral knee were performed. X-rays were read centrally. X-ray images were used to measure mJSW in the medial femorotibial and lateral femorotibial compartments and to determine the subject's baseline Kellgren-Lawrence grades (KLG). Intention-to-Treat (ITT) analysis set included all subjects randomly allocated to a treatment, based on the intention to treat “as randomized” principle. Here “Number of subjects analyzed” = subjects evaluable for this outcome measure and "n" included those who were evaluable at specified timepoints.

    The change in cartilage thickness at Week 26, 52, 78 and 104 was calculated based on quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI). Modified intent to treat (ITT) analysis set included all randomized subjects that is, only planned treatment regimen was used and who had a baseline, at least 1 post-treatment qMRI assessment available in double-blind placebo-controlled part.

    End point title
    Synovial Fluid Levels of sprifermin/FGF-18
    End point description
    Levels of sprifermin/FGF-18 in synovial fluid were measured to provide a first estimate of the residence time of sprifermin in the synovial fluid. Safety analysis set included all subjects who received at least 1 dose of study treatment. Arm assignments for subjects in Safety Set were based on actual treatment received. Here “Number of subjects analyzed” = subjects evaluable for this outcome measure and "n" included those who were evaluable at specified timepoints. "n" also signifies subjects evaluable at specified time points and "99999" signifies "NA".

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    05 Mar 2013
    - Inclusion criterion for joint space width (JSW) of > 3.0 mm was changed to JSW > 2.5 mm based on data from recently published clinical trials - Clarified that according to the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), subjects should report a history of pain on most days, i.e. more than half of the days of the previous month - Modified the drug washout requirement for subjects who are using analgesic/anti-inflammatory drugs to manage OA pain - Restriction on the concomitant use of short-term corticosteroids for a condition other than OA was changed to allow for low-dose or short term use of corticosteroids for concomitant medical conditions (e.g., allergic or respiratory conditions) - The number of study sites was reduced based on the decision to use a network of sites with extensive experience in conducting these types of OA trials with a well-built history of subject recruitment.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
