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   44313   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7357   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.

Males and females with a confirmed diagnosis (by a physician with expertise in diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the optic nerve) of a first episode of unilateral AON with an onset within 28 days prior to study dosing at Day 1/Baseline. The diagnostic criteria of AON should include at least 2 of the following: reduced visual acuity, afferent pupillary defect, color vision loss, visual field abnormality, and/or pain on eye movement. Onset of ocular pain alone cannot be used to determine the onset of AON. Subjects are allowed to enroll regardless of if there are demyelinating lesions on brain MRI.

    4. Must have received treatment of AON with 1 gram IV methylprednisolone for a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 5 days prior to randomization.

    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Prior episode(s) of optic neuritis or any other previous clinical CNS demyelinating events characteristic of MS as determined by a physician with expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of MS.
    2. Subjects with an established diagnosis of MS are excluded except if newly diagnosed based on the current episode of AON and positive brain MRI results consistent with the 2010 revisions to the McDonald’s criteria. [Polman 2011].
    3. Severe refractive errors defined as myopia or hypermetropia of ±6 diopters sphere or worse in either eye.
    4. Loss of vision not due to AON.
    5. Previous history of, or current severe disc edema or hemorrhage.
    6. Abnormal FF-VEP in the fellow eye at Screening as determined by the central reader.
    7. Concomitant ophthalmologic disorders (e.g., diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, macular exudate, macular edema, glaucoma, severe astigmatism, ocular trauma, neuromyelitis optica, ischemic optic neuropathy, congenital nystagmus) or other ophthalmologic conditions that could interfere with the proposed protocol as determined by a physician with expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmologic disorders.
    8. History of any clinically significant cardiac, endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary, neurologic, dermatologic, psychiatric, oncologic, renal, severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions, or other major disease, as determined by the Investigator.
    9. Females who have a positive pregnancy test result, or who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to conceive during the study.
    10. History of positive test result for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
    11. History of hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV Ab) or hepatitis B virus (defined as positive for hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] or hepatitis B core antibody [HBcAb]).
    12. History or evidence of drug or alcohol abuse (as defined by the Investigator) within 2 years prior to Screening.
    13. Current enrollment in any other study treatment or disease study within 3 months prior to Day 1/Baseline.
    14. Participation in previous studies with BIIB033.
    15. Inability to comply with study requirements.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
