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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    Estimation of the effects of GSK239512 on lesion remyelination in subjects with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis on stable treatment with Avonex [interferon-beta1a] or Copaxone [glatiramer acetate].
    Protection of trial subjects
    A 4-week flexible titration period was used to achieve the final dose for each participant to minimize the occurrence of adverse events. In addition, participants were permitted to down-titrate during the maintenance period, if they experienced tolerability issues. This study did not require participants to return to the study site for evaluation of relapses, if they chose to go to their local physician. This study did not restrict the use of rescue medications (e.g. glucocorticoids) to manage the occurrence of a relapse. However, due to the potential interference with the MRI, , if a relapse requiring management with glucocorticoids occured around the time of a scheduled MRI, the MRI was to be rescheduled to ensure that the subject has a minimum of a 1 week washout period following completion of treatment with glucocorticoids. The study included flexible visit day scheduling to allow inclusion of holiday periods over the 1 year duration with intensive visit schedule.

    Mean change in gadolinium enhanced (GdE) lesion magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) value post-Lesion (PoL) from pre-Lesion (PrL)
    End point description
    Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were performed to assess MTR values for gadolinium GdE lesions. GdE lesions are areas of inflammation detected by injecting GdE. Changes in MTR values are indicative of changes in brain myelin content associated with lesion remyelination. MRI scans were performed at Baseline, Weeks 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48. The change in MTR value PoL from PrL was the change in the average PoL MRI scans MTR from the average PrL MRI scans MTR. The analysis method used was the mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) adjusted for treatment, relative MRI, lesion volume, background MS DMT, average PrL MTR, and treatment, lesion volume, background DMT and average PrL MTR all by relative MRI. Analysis excluded MRI scans within 70 days of lesion occurrence and included data for lesions with at least 2 MRI assessments PrL and PoL. Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: par. who received >=1 dose of investigational product post randomization.

    Change from Baseline in T2 lesion MTR at Week 48
    End point description
    Brain MRI scans were performed to assess MTR of T2 lesions, which is indicative of brain myelin content. Changes in MTR values are indicative of changes in brain myelin content associated with lesion remyelination. T2 lesions are also called hyperintense lesions, meaning that they appear as bright spots on the MRI image. Baseline was defined as the participant’s last available assessment prior to initiation of study medication. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 48 value minus the Baseline value. The analysis method was MMRM adjusted for treatment, visit, screening T2 lesion MTR value, background MS DMT, treatment by visit, screening T2 lesion MTR value by visit and background DMT by visit.

    Change from Baseline in whole brain volume at Week 48
    End point description
    Whole brain volume is a measure of brain size determined by a MRI scan. Baseline is defined as the participant’s last available assessment prior to initiation of study medication. The normalized brain volume at Week 48 was derived from the dataset presenting change from baseline as follows: Week 48 Volume = Baseline Volume plus (Baseline Volume x Relative Change at Week 48). The analysis was performed by the analysis of covariance adjusted for treatment, screening brain volume, and background MS DMT. The observed case (OC) dataset was used which contained all the available change from Baseline responses for each participant without missing values being estimated or data carried forward.

    Change from Baseline in white matter volume and grey matter volume at Week 48
    End point description
    White matter volume and grey matter volume are measures of size of different areas of the brain determined by a MRI scan. Baseline is defined as the participant’s last available assessment prior to initiation of study medication. The white matter volume and grey matter volume at a post Baseline MRI was derived as follows: Post Baseline Volume = Baseline Volume plus (Baseline Volume x Relative Change Post Baseline). Change from Baseline in each volume was calculated as the Week 48 value minus the Baseline value. The analysis was performed using a mixed model for repeated measures adjusted for treatment, visit, baseline volume, background MS DMT, interactions between visit are also included . The observed case (OC) dataset was used which contained all the available change from Baseline responses for each participant at each visit, without missing values being estimated or data carried forward.

    Change from Baseline (BL) in CogState battery total score (TS), executive function composite score (EFCS), memory composite score (MCS) and attention composite score (ACS) at Week 48
    End point description
    The CogState battery used in this study consists of 7 tasks for which multiple outcome measures are collected and used in the derivation of the composite cognitive domain scores. Test scores were interpreted on the basis of normative data and expected level of performance. The assessment was conducted at Screen (twice), BL, and Weeks 12, 24 and 48. Change from BL in TS, EFCS, MCS and ACS is summarised at Week 48.The BL is the mean of the second Screening assessment and the BL (pre-dose) assessment, if both were avail or the non-missing value if only one was avail. Change from BL is calculated as post-BL value minus BL value. The analysis method was MMRM adjusted for treatment, visit, BL executive function score, background MS DMT, and interaction by visit. Only those par. available at specified time points were analyzed. Different par. may have been analyzed at different time points, so the overall number of par. analyzed reflects everyone in the ITT Population.

    Relapse rate during the treatment phase
    End point description
    A relapse is defined as participant-reported symptoms or objectively observed signs typical of an acute inflammatory demyelinating event in the central nervous system (CNS). It must occur in the absence of fever or infection and should follow improvement from a previous relapse, occur at least 30 days following the onset of a previous relapse, and be persistent for at least 24 hours. The analysis method was a maximum likelihood based analysis, assuming the Negative Binomial distribution with time on treatment measured in days as an offset variable for relapse occurrence. The model included adjustment for background DMT and treatment.

    EDSS is a scale to measure the disability status of participants with multiple sclerosis based on the presence of certain symptoms. EDSS provides a total score on a scale that ranges from 0 to 10 based on functional system (FS) scores and walking abilities. The first levels 1.0 to 4.5 refer to participants with a high degree of ambulatory ability and the subsequent levels 5.0 to 9.5 are highly influenced by changes in walking ability. FS (with max score) are: visual converted (VC;4), brainstem (BS;5), pyramidal (P;6), cerebellar (Cr;5), sensory (S;6), bowel and bladder converted (BB;5), cerebral (Cb;5) and ambulatory (A; 12).

    End point description
    EDSS is a scale to measure the disability status of par. with multiple sclerosis based on the presence of certain symptoms. EDSS provides a total score on a scale that ranges from 0 to 10 based on functional system (FS) scores and walking abilities. The first levels 1.0 to 4.5 refer to par.with high degree of ambulatory ability and the subsequent levels 5.0 to 9.5 are highly influenced by changes in walking ability. Change from the Baseline in EDSS is summarised up to Week 48. Baseline is defined as the par’s last available assessment prior to initiation of study medication. Improved is defined as a 1.0 decrease and worsened is defined as a 1.0 increase in EDSS score from baseline score. Only those par.available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X,X in category titles). Different par.may have been analyzed at different time points, so the overall number of par.analyzed reflects everyone in the ITT Population.

    Number of participants with sustained worsening of the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score at Week 48
    End point description
    EDSS is a scale to measure the disability status of participants with multiple sclerosis based on the presence of certain symptoms. EDSS provides a total score on a scale that ranges from 0 to 10 based on functional system (FS) scores and walking abilities. The first levels 1.0 to 4.5 refer to participants with a high degree of ambulatory ability and the subsequent levels 5.0 to 9.5 are highly influenced by changes in walking ability. FS are: pyramidal (P), cerebellar (Cr), brainstem (BS), sensory (S), bowel and bladder converted (BB), visual converted (VC), cerebral (Cb) and ambulatory (A). A sustained change is defined as a change that has been sustained for at least 12 weeks at Week 48. Participants that had worsened from BL by 2 or more points are included in the >=1 point and the >=2 points categories for that FS. BL is defined as the participants last available assessment prior to initiation of study medication.

    Change from Baseline at Week 48 in MSQoL Physical Function and Mental Function Composite Score
    End point description
    MSQoL is a 54 item assessment of the quality of life status of patients with multiple sclerosis and the Overall Quality of Life score is a composite of the physical function and mental function health composite scores. Scale scores were generated by averaging the items within scales and transforming the mean scores linearly from 0 to 100 possible scores, with higher scores indicating a better quality of life. BL is defined as the participants last available assessment prior to initiation of study medication. The assessment was conducted before randomized to treatment and at the end of treatment (Early Withdrawal or Week 48). The analysis was performed using an analysis of covariance adjusted for treatment, baseline composite score and background MS disease modifying therapy.

    End point description
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a par. temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, a congenital anomaly/birth defect, important medical events that jeopardize the par. or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition. AEs and SAEs were assessed at Pre-TT phase (prior to first dose of investigational product (IP)), TT phase-48 Weeks (from first dose of IP to 3 days after last dose, includin Titratration (T) and Maintenance (M) Periods) and Follow-Up phase (more than 3 days after last dose of IP).
