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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 ).

    Clinical Trial Results:
    Evaluation of the subcutaneous administration of 30 mg of S 78989 versus placebo and evaluation of the subcutaneous administration of 60 mg of S78989 versus placebo on the reduction of arterial wall inflammation in patients with marked atherosclerotic plaque inflammation. A 28-weeks, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo controlled, international multicentre exploratory pilot study.

    Due to the EudraCT – Results system being out of service between 31 July 2015 and 12 January 2016, these results have been published in compliance with revised timelines.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of 4 successive monthly subcutaneous (SC) administrations of 30 mg of S78989 (gevokizumab) versus placebo as a first step, and 60 mg of S78989 (gevokizumab) versus placebo as a second step, on the reduction of arterial wall inflammation in adult patients with marked arterial wall inflammation following a recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of S78989 compared to placebo on arterial wall inflammation assessed by 18-Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18FDG-PET/CT), in the most diseased region of interest (ROI) of both carotids and thoracic aortic walls. Part A (gevokizumab 30 mg vs placebo) and Part B (gevokizumab 60 mg vs placebo) are presented in parallel. However, it is to be noted that Part B of the trial was conducted after Part A and involved independent selection, randomisation, treatment and follow-up of patients.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with Good Clinical Practice standards, ethical principles stated in the Declaration of Helsinki and applicable regulatory requirements. After the subject has ended his/her participation in the trial, the investigator provided appropriate medication and/or arranged access to appropriate care for the patient.
