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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 ).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 Subjects were randomized to tofacitinib 10 milligram (mg) or placebo twice a day (BID) (4:1 ratio) after Protocol Amendment 2, which removed tofacitinib 15 mg BID. Due to low subject numbers, tofacitinib 15 mg BID was excluded from efficacy analyses, but was included in subject disposition, baseline characteristics and adverse events analyses.

    End point description
    Remission in subjects was defined by a total Mayo score of 2 points or lower, with no individual subscore exceeding 1 point and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0. Mayo score is an instrument designed to measure disease activity of UC. It consisted of 4 subscores: stool frequency, rectal bleeding, findings of centrally read flexible proctosigmoidoscopy and physician global assessment (PGA), each graded from 0 to 3 with higher scores indicating more severe disease. These scores were summed up to give a total score range of 0 to 12; where higher score indicating more severe disease. Full analysis set included all subjects who were randomly assigned to either tofacitinib 10 mg BID or placebo BID.

    		 Percentage of Subjects With Deep Remission at Week 8 [7]
    End point description
    Deep remission in subjects was defined by a total Mayo score of 2 points or lower, with no individual subscore exceeding 1 point and 0 subscore for both rectal bleeding and endoscopic subscores. Mayo score is an instrument designed to measure disease activity of UC. It consisted of 4 subscores: stool frequency, rectal bleeding, findings of flexible centrally read proctosigmoidoscopy and PGA, each graded from 0 to 3 with higher scores indicating more severe disease. These scores were summed up to give a total score range of 0 to 12; where higher score indicating more severe disease. Full analysis set included all subjects who were randomly assigned to either tofacitinib 10 mg BID or placebo BID.
