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   43846   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the effect of teriflunomide in comparison to placebo on disease activity as measured by time to first clinical relapse after randomisation in children and adolescents 10 to 17 years of age with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted by investigators experienced in the treatment of paediatric patients. The parent(s) or guardian(s) as well as the children were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time. In addition to the consent form for the parent(s)/guardian(s), an assent form in child-appropriate language was provided and explained to the child. Repeated invasive procedures were minimised. The number of blood samples as well as the amount of blood drawn were adjusted according to age and weight. A topical anesthesia might have been used to minimise distress and discomfort.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Study was conducted at 57 active centres in 21 countries. A total of 185 subjects were screened between 16 July 2014 and 27 December 2017, of which 166 subjects were enrolled and randomised. A total of 19 subjects failed screening mainly due to meeting exclusion criteria.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Subjects were randomly assigned to receive either teriflunomide or placebo in a 2:1 ratio via Interactive Voice Response System. Randomisation was stratified by the country and subject's pubertal status.

    Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Assessment: Number of New or Enlarged T2 Lesions Per MRI Scan
    End point description
    Number of new or enlarged T2 lesions per scan was defined as the total number of new or enlarged T2 lesion that occurred during the 192 weeks treatment period divided by the total number of scans performed during 192 weeks. To account for the different numbers of scans performed among the subjects, a negative binomial regression model with robust variance estimation was used. The model included the total number of new or enlarged T2-lesions as the response variable, with treatment group, region, pubertal status and age as covariates and log-transformed number of scans as an offset variable. Analysis was performed on efficacy population which included all subjects enrolled and treated with at least 1 dose of teriflumomide in OL period analysed according to the treatment group allocated by randomisation in the DB period.

    SDMT measures the time to pair abstract symbols with specific numbers. It is a simple substitution task that gives the examinee 90 seconds to pair specific numbers with given geometric figures as a measure for screening cognitive impairment. The SDMT score is the number of correct substitution and ranged from 0 (worst outcome) to 110 (best outcome), where higher score indicated better cognitive function. Analysis was performed on efficacy population. Here, ‘n’ = number of subjects analysed for each specified category. Here, '99999' is used as a space filler which specifies that the standard deviation was not calculated, since only 1 subject was assessed.

    Cognitive Assessment: Change From Baseline in Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised (BVMT-R) Scores at Weeks 96 and 192
    End point description
    The BVMT consists of three trials in which subjects must recall shapes by drawing figures on a blank page (response booklet) after being given the opportunity to memorise the figures (given in BMVT-R form) for 10 seconds. BMVT-R form consists of six figures. Points are awarded based on the accuracy of the drawn figure and by correct placement on the blank page. A minimum of 0 to 12 points/scores are awarded per trial, so a subject can score between 0 and 36 points for all three trials (by adding the points/score from each trial), where higher score indicates better outcome. Analysis was performed on ITT population which included all randomised subjects analysed according to the treatment group allocated by randomization . Here, ‘number of subject analysed’ = number of subjects evaluable for this endpoint and "n"= subjects evaluable for each specified category.

    Cognitive Assessment: Change From Baseline in Trail Making Test- Part A (TMT-A) Test Scores (in Seconds) at Weeks 96 and 192
    End point description
    'Trail Making Test Part A' is a neuropsychological test of visual attention and task switching. The task requires a subject to 'connect-the-dots' of 25 consecutive numbers (1, 2, 3,etc.) in sequential order on a sheet of paper or computer screen. The goal of the subject is to finish the test as quickly as possible, and the time taken to complete the test used as the primary performance metric (in seconds). This is a timed test and the number of seconds to complete the task is recorded. Maximum time allowed is 300 seconds. A lower score indicated better cognitive function. Analysis was performed on efficacy population. Here, ‘number of subjects analysed’ = number of subjects evaluable for this endpoint and "n"= number of subjects evaluable for each specified category.

    Cognitive Assessment: Change From Baseline in Trail Making Test B (TMT-B) Test Scores (in Seconds) at Weeks 96 and 192
    End point description
    TMT-B is a cognitive test that gives a measure of various aspects of cognitive performance. It is used to measure cognitive fatigue. The test consists of 25 circles containing 13 sequential numbers (1-13) and 12 sequential letters (A-L) positioned. The test evaluates the time (in seconds) to correctly order letters and numbers in alternate order (1, A, 2, B etc.). Maximum time allowed is 300 seconds, where less time/lower score indicates better cognitive function/performance. Analysis was performed on efficacy population. Here, "number of subjects analysed"= subjects evaluable for this endpoint and ‘n’ = number of subjects evaluable for each specified category.

    Cognitive Assessment: Change From Baseline in Beery Visual-motor Integration (BVMI) Scores at Weeks 96 and 192
    End point description
    The Beery VMI is a non-verbal assessment that assessed the extent to which individuals can integrate their visual and motor abilities. The subjects were provided with geometric designs ranging from simple line drawings to more complex figures and were asked to copy the designs. The test consisted of 24 figures. One point was scored for each successful copy of drawings and no scoring was given when the subject failed to copy the drawings properly. Each successful copying of drawings was summed up and the total was scored on a scale ranged from 0 to 24, where higher score indicated better visual construction skills/better visual and motor abilities and lower score indicated poor visual construction skills/poor visual and motor abilities. Analysis was performed on efficacy population. Here, "number of subjects analysed" = subjects evalauble for this endpoint and 'n’ = number of subjects evaluable for each specified category.

    Cognitive Assessment: Change From Baseline in Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence-II (WASI-II) Vocabulary Total Raw Scores at Weeks 96 and 192
    End point description
    The WASI-II: Vocabulary test is a quick estimate of an individual’s level of intellectual functioning which comprised of 31 total items that require the subject to orally define 3 images and 28 words presented both orally and visually. Items 1 to 3 rated on a score of 0 or 1, items 4 and 5 rated on a score of 0 or 2, items 6 to 31 rated on a scale of 0 to 2. Each item score was summed up to derive the total score which was ranged from 0 (minimum score) to 59 (maximum score), where higher score indicated better level of intellectual functioning/higher level of intelligence. Analysis was performed on efficacy population. Here, "number of subjects analysed" = subjects evalauble for this endpoint. Here, "99999" was used as a space filler which specifies that the standard deviation was not calculated, since only 1 subject was assessed.

    Cognitive Assessment: Change From Baseline in Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) Letter Fluency Total Correct Raw Score at Weeks 96 and 192
    End point description
    Letter fluency is a condition measured in Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS). Subjects are asked to name as many words as they can, starting with a specified letter for 60 seconds. The words cannot be names, places, numbers or grammatical variants of previous answers. Repeated answers are not scored as a correct response. There are 3 trials, with 3 different letters. The total number of correct responses is totaled for all 3 trials and a letter fluency score is given. A higher score is considered better. There is no set range as the score depends on how many correct words the subject relays in the given time period. Analysis was performed on efficacy population. Here, “number of subjects analysed”= number of subjects evaluable for this endpoint. Here, 99999 was used as a space filler which specifies that the standard deviation was not calculated, since only 1 subject was assessed.

    Cognitive Assessment - Selective Reminding Test (SRT): Change From Baseline in Total Number of Words on Delayed Recall at Weeks 96 and 192
    End point description
    SRT is a test to assess verbal learning and memory. During the administration of the SRT only the examiner and the subject should be in the testing room. A list of twelve words is read aloud by the examiner at a rate of one word per two seconds. The subject is asked to recall all twelve words after a 30 minute delay. Only the words that are missed on the preceding trial are given in the consecutive trial. The total score represents a sum score of total 6 trials, therefore the range is from 0-72. The lower the value the worse the outcome, higher value indicates better recall. Analysis was performed on efficacy population. Here, “number of subjects analysed”= subjects evaluable for this endpoint and “n”= number of subjects evaluable for each specified category. Here, "99999" was used as a space filler and specified that the standard deviation was not calculated, since only 1 subject was assessed.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    18 Dec 2013
    Following changes were made: 1 MRI added at Weeks 24, 48 and 96 to strengthen MRI data; 1 MRI added at Week 36 in case of at least 5 new/enlarged T2 lesions; change in volume of T2 lesions, change in volume of T1 hypointense lesions, number of new T1 hypointense lesions, and brain atrophy were added and grouped as MRI endpoints; addition of immunoglobulin (IgG, IgM, and IgA) measurements at Baseline and every 24 weeks, aimed to provide additional information on a potential, although not expected, effect of teriflunomide on the immune system in this age group; poisson regression model changed in negative binomial model for the analysis of the number of new or enlarged T2-lesions and the number of T1 Gd-enhancing lesions per MRI scan. Reduced the impact of potential outliers, ordinal logistic regression model including treatment group, region, pubertal status, and age were also used to analyse these endpoints. The Poisson regression model with a robust error variance was to be used in sensitivity analyses.
    26 Jun 2014
    Following changes were made: Extension of the open-label period up to 192 weeks after randomisation; one MRI timepoint added at Week 72; addition of a criterion for switch into open-label period taking this additional MRI scan into account as follows: at least 5 new/enlarged T2 lesions on each of the 2 consecutive MRI scans of Week 48 and Week 72; change in exclusion criteria: the required minimum washout period duration for previous multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment was modified; addition of exclusion criteria: previous treatment with alemtuzumab; addition of a note about the content of teriflunomide tablets (lactose) and that therefore, investigators were to consider whether history of lactose intolerance could affect treatment tolerability; addition of a note about contraception and the association of local additional requirements (United Kingdom) to be followed, e.g., spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository, as per medicines and healthcare products regulatory agency rules; addition of endpoints: proportion of subjects free of new or enlarged MRI T2-lesions at Weeks 48 and 96. It was specified that the main MRI endpoints were the number of new/newly enlarged T2 lesions and the number of T1 Gd-enhancing T1 lesions; proportion of disease-free subjects as an exploratory endpoint; addition of text to introduce the rationale for placebo-controlled design; addition of endocrine function evaluation consisting of measurement of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) every 24 weeks and at end of treatment (EOT); addition of text to specify that local anesthetic was to be offered for blood draws to minimise pain and discomfort; correction of text: Pre-defined adverse events and laboratory abnormalities for specific reporting to restore the instructions that were included in the initial protocol but had been inadvertently taken out in Amended protocol 1.
    10 Dec 2020
    Following changes were done: Added specifications about weight and electrocardiogram during remote visits and reference to appendix G. Added text in case of emergency and reference to appendix G. Added IMP return specification and reference to appendix G. Added text in case of emergency and reference to appendix G. Added text in case of missing assessment and reference to Appendix G. Added cross references to sections. Added text on permanently discontinuation for subjects close to the end of treatment may be unable to continue their final treatment as scheduled. Added monitoring details, techniques, and source data verification. Added summaries of the 3 memos to detail the procedures set up in case of emergency.
