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   44335   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Fumaderm® treatment in patients aged 10 to 17 after 20 weeks compared to placebo.
    Protection of trial subjects
    As paediatric subjects do not possess legal right capacity and ability to enter into agreements, fully informed consent was obtained from the parents/legal guardian(s). Subjects and their parents/legal guardians were given adequate time to review the information in the informed consent and were allowed to ask, and have answered, questions concerning all portions of the conduct of the study. Through the informed consent process each subject was made aware of the purpose of the study, the procedures, the benefits and risks of the study, the discomforts and the precautions taken. Any side effects or other health issues occurring during the study were followed up by the study doctor. Subjects were able to stop taking part in the study at any time without giving any reason.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 This study was conducted at 22 study centres in Germany from 20-December 2012 (first patient randomised) to 20 September 2016 (last patient out).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 In total, 163 patients were screened, resulting in the randomisation of 135 patients, of whom 134 patients received the investigational treatment at least once. Eligible patients were randomised 2:1 at visit 1 to receive either Fumaderm® Initial / Fumaderm® or matching placebo. All patients received basic therapy for skin care (Basiscreme DAC).

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: Four participants completed the double-blind treatment phase but did not start the open-label treatment phase.

    		 Percentage of Participants with a PASI 50 Response Over Time
    End point description
    The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score is a combination of the intensity of psoriasis, assessed by the erythema (reddening), induration (plaque thickness) and desquamation (scaling) on a scale from none (0), mild (1), moderate (2), severe (3) or very severe (4), together with the involved skin area rated on a scale from 0 to 6 performed at four body areas, the head, arms, trunk, and legs. The total PASI score ranges from 0 (clear skin) to 72 (most severe psoriasis). A PASI 50 response is defined as the percentage of participants achieving at least a 50% reduction (improvement) in PASI score from baseline. The full analysis set was used for this analysis; participants with missing data were counted as non-responders. Participants in the Fumaderm/Fumaderm treatment group did not have study visits at weeks 26, 28, 30 and 36; "99999" indicates not applicable.

    The physician’s global assessment (PGA) describes the severity of psoriasis according to the following 7 categories: Score 0 = Clear (no signs of psoriasis (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation may be present); Score 1 = Almost clear (intermediate between mild and clear); Score 2 = Mild (slight plaque elevation, scaling, and / or erythema); Score 3 = Mild to moderate (intermediate between moderate and mild); Score 4 = Moderate (moderate plaque elevation, scaling, and / or erythema); Score 5 = Moderate to severe (marked plaque elevation, scaling, and / or erythema); Score 6 = Severe (very marked plaque elevation, scaling, and / or erythema). The full analysis set was used for this analysis; participants with missing data were counted as non-responders.

    		 Mean Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index Scores Over Time
    End point description
    The Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) was completed by study participants who were younger than 17 years old at screening. The questionnaire consists of 10 questions addressing disease-related quality of life over the last week. Each question is answered on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much). The total score is calculated by summing the scores from each question and ranges from 0 to 30; the higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. This analysis was performed using the full analysis set population aged 10-16 with non-missing data at each time point. Participants in the Fumaderm/Fumaderm treatment group did not have study visits at weeks 26, 28, 30 and 36; "99999" indicates not applicable.
