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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 ).

    Participants were randomized to receive matching placebo intravenous (IV) plus standard of care (SoC) on Days 0 (Baseline), 14, 28 and then every 28 days thereafter through 100 Weeks with a final evaluation for the double-blind treatment period at Week 104. The randomization was stratified by their induction regimen (high dose cortiocsteroids [HDCS] plus Cyclophosphamide [CYC] versus [vs.] HDCS plus Mycophenolate Mofetil [MMF]) and race. After completing the double-blind period, eligible participants that were randomized to placebo IV plus SOC received Belimumab 10 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) every 28 days until Week 24 with a final evaluation at Week 28 (4 weeks after the last dose) in open-label extension period.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    27 Jan 2012
    Amendment 01: Applied to all countries and sites. The protocol was modified to clarify exclusion criteria, concurrent medications and standard of care, addition of anti-malarials, and use of corticosteroids. There were also changes to prohibited medications and non-drug therapies, live vaccines, screening procedures, and the double-blind treatment period and study calendar. An open-label extension replaced the continuation phase. An exploratory analysis of urinary biomarkers related to lupus nephritis was added. Clarifications were made to the withdrawal of study treatment and adverse event reporting sections. The endpoints and statistical analysis sections were updated to reflect changes made in other sections of the protocol.
    08 Mar 2012
    Amendment 02: Applied to all countries and sites. The protocol was modified to require participants to remain under clinical supervision for 3 hours after completion of the first 2 infusions. Results for biological markers measured by florescence activated cell sorting (FACS) were added to the list of laboratory results not provided to study sites. Language describing participant un-blinding in the protocol was amended. Language regarding the body weight used for dose calculation was corrected.
    16 Aug 2012
    Amendment 02 (Thailand): Implemented and applied only in Thailand. In this amendment the protocol was modified to change the recommended duration of Investigational Product (IP) infusion from 1 hour to approximately 2-3 hours. Hereafter this amendment was incorporated as an appendix to the main protocol as a country specific requirement.
    11 Feb 2014
    Amendment 03: Applied to all countries and sites. In this amendment the protocol was modified to expand Hepatitis B serology testing, to exclude participants who tested positive according to the criteria specified, and to specify hepatitis C screening. Screening and induction initiation windows were extended and exclusion criteria were modified. Clarification was added for screening for active or latent infections. Six-month follow-up immunogenicity sample collection for participants with positive response at 8-week follow-up was removed. A belimumab Benefit and Risk Assessment, and a preliminary assessment specific to the lupus nephritis participant population were added. Inclusion criterion, urine collection for urinary sediment analysis, 24-hour urine collection, and serum creatinine were revised for clarification. Information on non-acute delayed type hypersensitivity reaction and symptoms was added. Instructions for monitoring and managing cases of Grade 4 immunoglobulin G (IgG) were clarified. Steroid rescue for non-renal systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disease activity and non-SLE disease activity was revised. Measurement of vital signs and a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) were added. Timing of pharmacokinetic sampling in participants who withdrew from the study was clarified. Reason for treatment withdrawal was modified to include “Missing 3 or more consecutive doses of study drug”. The adverse events section was modified throughout for consistency. Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) text was updated. The Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) and its abbreviation was corrected to Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) and to indicate that all serious adverse events (SAEs) are monitored by the IDMC. New appendices were added to provide the questionnaires for the possible suicidality-related history questionnaire (PSRHQ), the possible suicidality-related questionnaire (PSRQ), and the Country-specific Requirements for Thailand.
    29 Aug 2014
    Amendment 04 (China): Implemented and applied only in China. The protocol was modified for participants in China regarding the hepatitis B exclusion criteria. The protocol was modified to clarify that participants in China positive test for Hepatitis C antibody were to be excluded without confirmatory Hepatitis C ribonucleic acid-polymerase chain reaction (RNA-PCR) testing. A urine pregnancy test at the 8-week follow-up visit was added. The protocol was modified to clarify that participants in China will have SAEs collected from the time a participant consented to participate in the study. Screening visit/Study week was corrected to align with the change in Amendment 03. Sections of the protocol affected by these changes have been modified accordingly.
    16 Mar 2015
    Amendment 05: Applied in all countries and sites, except for those with a local version amendment. In this amendment the eligibility criteria, exclusion criteria, and relevant sections were modified. The Risk-Benefit and concomitant medications sections were updated. A urine pregnancy test was added at the 8-week follow-up visit, and an instruction that women of child-bearing potential must be reminded of the requirement to report any pregnancy that occurred through 16 weeks following the last dose of IP. Sections of the protocol affected by this change were modified accordingly. The section on liver safety evaluation was replaced for consistency with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) standards. Additional Hepatitis B monitoring was added. Study calendars and relevant footnotes were updated to reflect changes made in other sections of the protocol.
    17 Mar 2015
    Amendment 05 (France 1): Implemented and applies only in France. In addition to the changes described above for Amendment 05 for all sites, at the request of the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety (ANSM), the protocol was revised to include guidance for French investigators to evaluate suspected cases of PML using brain imaging and PCR on cerebrospinal fluid for John Cunningham virus (JCV).
    13 Jul 2016
    Amendment 05 (France 2): Implemented and applies only in France. In addition to the changes described above for Amendment 05 (1), at the request of the ANSM, the protocol was modified to comply with the information updated in November 2015 in the Cellcept Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) and package leaflet.
    25 Apr 2017
    Amendment 06: Applied in all countries and sites, except for those with a local version amendment. In this amendment the renal response definition used for key efficacy endpoints evaluation was modified. Calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was changed to estimated GFR to be used for all renal function evaluations. Time to first renal flare was added as a major secondary efficacy endpoint. Clarification was added regarding timing of the renal biopsy; other relevant sections/text have been modified accordingly. In Study Design and Statistical analysis sections, clarifications regarding target sample size and sample size calculations were added. Contraception requirements were updated. GFR calculation was corrected to include “per 1.73 square meter (/1.73m^2)”. Benefit-Risk section text was updated in line with current belimumab safety information. The concomitant medications section was updated to clarify concurrent medication rules applicable to the double-blind period. Information regarding the concurrent medications prohibited during the open-label period was moved from Section 6 to Section 5. Laboratory text section was updated with the most recent simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] equation for estimation of GFR. The IDMC requested removal of the requirement to review of Grade 4 IgG reductions on an expedited basis. The text in the IDMC section was changed accordingly. In Statistical analysis section, the Van Elteren test was replaced with a Rank analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) for the primary and major secondary endpoints analysis. Updates were also made to how missing values will be handled, how the sensitivity analyses will be performed, and additional other efficacy endpoints were defined. The rate of renal flare from Week 24, time to first renal flare from Week 52, and the rate of renal flare from Week 52 were also added as other efficacy endpoints and for some of the other efficacy endpoints, clarification text has been added.

    Amendment 07: Applied in all countries and sites, except for those with a local version amendment. In this amendment the primary endpoint and the time to renal flare at Week 24 endpoint were changed. The testing hierarchy and the analysis methodology of the major secondary endpoints was revised accordingly. Power calculations were added to the sample size section. The Study Design schematic was updated for the changes to the primary and major secondary endpoints. A subgroup for Baseline renal biopsy class was added. Other efficacy endpoints were updated to be consistent with and supportive of the revised testing hierarchy. Endpoints inadvertently omitted were added to other efficacy endpoints. The timeframe for pregnancy reporting was updated to sponsor requirements.
