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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 objective is to demonstrate the superiority of omalizumab 300 mg versus placebo in patients with moderate to severe CSU regarding QoL measures. This will be done by evaluating the change of total CU-Q2oL scores in moderate to severe CSU patients with a history of angioedema and insufficient treatment response to a high dose of nsH1-antihistamines (second line treatment: up to 4x of the approved nsH1-Antihistamine dose). Scores will be calculated from baseline (visit 2) to week 28 (visit 9) with secondary objective(s).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
     Angioedema burdened days
     Angioedema Activity Score (AAS)
     AE-Q2oL (Angioedema Quality-of-Life Score)
     Time to first angioedema episode following initiation of study therapy
     Time interval between successive angioedema episodes following initiation of therapy
     Time to first recurrence after discontinuation of omalizumab /placebo therapy within follow-up period
     Need for sedating H1-antihistamine and corticosteroids based rescue medication (as specified under 6.6.4)
     UAS7 (weekly Urticaria Activity Score)
     DLQI (Dermatology Quality of Life Index)

    11. History of malignancy of any organ system (other than localized basal cell carcinoma of the skin), treated or untreated, within the past 5 years, regardless of whether there is evidence of local recurrence or metastases.
    12. Women who are pregnant or breast feeding or capable of becoming pregnant and not practicing a medically approved method of contraception1.
    15. Permanent severe diseases, especially those affecting the immune system, except CSU.
    16. Presence of permanent gastrointestinal condition which may influence the oral therapy (chronic diarrhea diseases, congenital malformations or surgical mutilations of gastrointestinal tract).
    17. History or presence of epilepsy, significant neurological disorders, cerebrovascular attacks or ischemia.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary variable is the change from baseline to week 28 of the CU-Q2oL questionnaire.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    week 28
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    The AAS, AE-Q2oL, UAS7 and DLQI will be analyzed analogous to the primary endpoint, as a mean difference from baseline (visit 2) to week 28 (visit 9). Time courses will be displayed descriptively and graphically. For these analyses, values of patients requiring rescue medication will not be used for 6 weeks (resp. 4 weeks for the DLQI) following the last corticosteroid intake. Other secondary or exploratory objectives (e.g. rescue medication use, angioedema burdened days) will be summarized descriptively by treatment group.
