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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the effect of fingolimod 0.5 mg daily compared with placebo on delaying disability progression, in patients with CIDP, measured by the time to the first confirmed worsening on the adjusted Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment (INCAT) Disability Scale. A confirmed worsening is defined as an increase by 1 point or more on the adjusted INCAT Disability Scale from the value at Baseline.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    • to assess the change in grip strength from Baseline to Month 6/End-of-Treatment (whichever occurs first) in CIDP patients on fingolimod as compared with those on placebo
    • to assess the change in Rasch-Built Linearly Weighted Overall Disability Scale (R-ODS) from Baseline to Month 6/End-of-Treatment (whichever occurs first) in CIDP patients on fingolimod as compared with those on placebo
    • to evaluate safety and tolerability of fingolimod compared with placebo in patients with CIDP
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No

    disease
    3. treatment with: • plasma exchange
    within 2 months of randomization •
    immunosuppressive/chemotherapeutic

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Delay of disease progression, measured by time to first confirmed worsening on the adjusted INCAT disability scale by 1 point or more from the value at baseline, in patients who were being treated with IVIG and/or corticosteroids prior to study start.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    time to event
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    1) The change in grip strength from baseline in CIDP patients on fingolimod as compared with those on placebo. Grip strength measurements will be done using a vigorimeter
    2) The change from baseline for Rasch-Built Linearly Weighted Overall Disability Scale (R-ODS). This questionnaire was constructed using the patients perception of their ability to perform daily and social activities
    3) Safety and tolerability of fingolimod compared with placebo in patients with CIDP. Measured by AE/SAE, hematology and biochemistry lab tests, vital signs, ECG, and pulmonary function test.
