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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of etanercept in pediatric patients with moderate to severe psoriasis.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) regulations/ guidelines. Written informed consent and verbal/written assent, if applicable, had to be obtained from each subject (if he or she has attained the legal age for consent) or the subject’s parents or legal guardian before performing any procedures, including screening. The study protocol, amendments, and the informed consent form (ICF) were reviewed by the Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and Independent Ethics Committees (IECs).

    		 Number of Participants With Adverse Events [1]
    End point description
    A serious adverse events is any AE that • is fatal • is life threatening • requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization • results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity • is a congenital anomaly/birth defect • other significant medical hazard. The severity assessment for adverse events and infections (except injection site reactions) was done using the Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) Version 2.0, where Grade 3 indicates a severe toxicity (incapacitating with inability to work or do usual activity). An infectious event is an event that was considered by the investigator to be an infectious episode. An injection site reaction is a reaction at the site of the subcutaneous injection, commonly characterized, but not limited to symptoms of erythema (redness, usually raised), pruritis (itching), swelling, or pain that is persistent for 4 hours or longer.

    The exposure adjusted event rate for a given event in a given time period is defined as the number of events reported in the given time period divided by total patient-years on investigational product during the period. Exposure-adjusted event rate per 100 patient years = total number of events / patient years * 100. Multiple occurrences of the same event for a participant were counted as multiple events.

    A PASI 50 response is a 50% or greater improvement (reduction) from baseline in PASI score. The PASI measures the average redness (erythema), thickness (induration), and scaliness (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale) of psoriasis lesions, weighted by the area of involvement in the four main body areas (i.e., head and neck, trunk, upper extremities, and lower extremities). PASI scores can range from 0.0 to 72.0, with higher scores indicating greater severity and/or more extensive psoriasis.

    		 Percent Improvement From Study 20030211 Baseline in Children’s Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) Total Score
    End point description
    The Children’s Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) was used to assess the impact of psoriasis on subject health-related quality of life. The CDLQI has 10 items assessing health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with skin disease each measured on a scale from 0 (Not at all) to 3 (Very much). The total score ranges from 0 to 30, with lower scores indicating better quality of life. If participants were ≥ 13 years old, the text instrument was completed by the participants themselves. Participants ≥ 8 but < 13 years old used the cartoon version of the instrument and participants ≤ 7 years old used the cartoon version of the instrument completed with help from the parents or caregivers. Percent improvement from baseline = (Baseline Value – Post-baseline Value) / Baseline Value * 100.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    19 Jul 2005
    • Per US Food and Drug Administration request, the discontinuation and dose adjustment criteria were amended to require that subjects with a systemic infection that required intravenous antibiotic use or hospitalization be removed from the study. • Etanercept dose wording was changed to correctly reflect that an exact 0.8 mg/kg dose is not always possible using 2 vials of lyophilized investigational product as the subject’s body weight approaches 62 kg.
    19 Oct 2006
    • Extended length of study for an additional 18 months • Included the option for investigators to stop treatment with investigational product for subjects with a Static Physician Global Assessment score of clear (0) or almost clear (1) at week 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, or 156
    10 Sep 2008
    • Extended length of the study to 5 years • Subjects were no longer required to permanently discontinue treatment if therapy was temporarily withheld more than once because of clearing of psoriasis or if more than 3 consecutive doses were withheld because of an adverse event or surgical procedure • Removed 30 day follow-up visit • Removed collection of Harter’s Self-Perception Profile in Children and Adolescents
    26 Jul 2010
    • Allowed for the collection of additional safety data (assessments of adverse events and concomitant medication use) on subjects who were under the age of 18. After week 264, only serious adverse events were to be collected. • Subjects were allowed to continue on this study until they reached 18 years of age. • Added a second planned interim analysis (a “week 264 analysis”) after all subjects remaining in the study completed the week 264 assessments. This comprises the main comprehensive, integrated analysis of Study 20050111 data.
