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   43845   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 ).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Eligible participants were recruited from July 2012 until March 2014, into this 2 part study of a initial treatment phase, a long term treatment phase, and then followed up for a further 6 months. Results have previously been presented for the initial treatment phase, up to the Week 28 and are now presented for the completed study.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Screening occurred within 35 days and no less than 14 days before the first scheduled study treatment dose. Total 21 participants were screened; 14 were randomized and entered the initial treatment phase while 11 participants entered the long-term treatment phase. Common reasons for screen failures were insufficient, or improvements in proteinuria.

    Change from Baseline in proteinuria levels at Week 28 [1]
    End point description
    Proteinuria based on urinary protein creatinine ratio (PCR) was measured from 2 consecutive 24 hour (h) urine collection pre and post dosing at Baseline and Week 28 and the mean PCR was determined at each time point. Baseline is defined as the mean of the pre and post dosing Day 0 values. The ratio is defined as the Week 28 value divided by the Baseline value. Ratio to Baseline: Estimated value = 0.76, 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.57 to 1.01. The geometric mean method was used to calculate the CI. The analysis was performed on Intent-to-treat (ITT) Population which comprised of all eligible participants who received at least one dose of investigational drug. Only those participants available at the indicated time point (Week 28) were analyzed.

    Summary of area under the serum concentration-time curve to the last quantifiable concentration (AUC[0-2])
    End point description
    The AUC(0-2) was determined using the linear trapezoidal rule for increasing concentrations and the logarithmic trapezoidal rule for decreasing concentrations. Blood samples for PK analysis were collected at the following time points: pre-dose (on dosing days): Days 0, 1, 4, 7, 14 and Week 4, 8, 12, 28, 40, 52, 76 and 4 week post last dose. Post-dose (5 minutes after dosing complete): Days 0 and 28. The results will be posted at later date following post hoc analysis.

    Summary of total amount of urine excreted Ae(0-24)
    End point description
    PK parameters from the urine concentration data: urine Ae(0-24) were assessed. 24 h urine collections for PK analysis were collected after the Day 0 and Weeks 12, 28, 52, 76 doses and at the 4 week post last dose visit. A population approach was undertaken to characterize the population PK parameters and associated variability of belimumab in nephrotic participants. The population approach could have provided derived clearance of belimumab for each participant after the first dose. The population PK analysis was conducted using nonlinear mixed-effect modeling (NONMEM) or appropriate nonlinear mixed-effect analysis software. Several samples were taken pre-dose at Day 0 and some at week 12 incorrectly which affects interpretation.

    Change from Baseline in short form (SF)-36 v2 Quality of Life (QoL) questionnaire score
    End point description
    Health-related quality of life was assessed through participant self-completion of the short form health survey (SF-36 version [v2]), a general health related quality of life metrics. Norm-based Scores (NBS) for physical functioning, role emotional, role physical were assessed. The remaining SF-36 component scores require re-scaling and therefore will be added at a later date. SF-36 was administered prior to any procedures at Weeks 12, 28, 52, 76 and 104/4 week post last dose. Item score were recorded and higher score represented better health status. Baseline is defined as Day 0 pre dose value and change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the Baseline values from the individual post-randomization values. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X in category titles).

    Urine membrane attack complex (MAC) levels
    End point description
    Urine membrane attack complex was assayed quantitatively by ELISA method. Urine MAC samples were collected at Day 0 and Weeks 8, 28, 52, 76 and 4 week post last dose. Results were normalized using urine creatinine concentration to adjust for urine dilution. Endpoint was moved to ‘Exploratory’ in Protocol amendment 5 as risk of availability of functioning assay for urine membrane attack complex was noted. No assay was subsequently found and samples were not analyzed.

    Change from Baseline in urine membrane attack complex (MAC)
    End point description
    Urine membrane attack complex will be assayed quantitatively by ELISA method. Urine MAC samples are being collected at Day 0 and Weeks 8, 28, 52, 76 and 4 week post last dose. Results will be normalized using urine creatinine concentration to adjust for urine dilution, before calculation of the ratio as value at time point divided by value at Baseline (Day 0). Endpoint was changed to 'exploratory' as risk of availability of functioning assay for urine membrane attack complex was noted. No assay was subsequently found and samples were not analyzed.

    Change from Baseline in B Cell and T Cell markers concentration
    End point description
    B cell Facs panels were used to measure changes over the course of therapy in B cell subsets such as transitional, naïve, memory and plasma B cell compartments by percent of the B cell compartments and absolute numbers. T cell Facs panel were used to measure changes in T cell subsets, such as T regs and CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, in terms of numbers and expression of activation markers to establish if B cell targeting with belimumab affects the T cell compartment perhaps through limiting B cell antigen presentation or cytokine release. Baseline is defined as Day 0 value and change from Baseline was calculated as ratio of post-Baseline value divided by the Baseline value. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X in the category titles).
