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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study was conducted at 95 study sites in 7 countries. A total of 452 subjects were screened between 15 May 2013 and 10 January 2014. 380 subjects were randomized and 379 were treated. 72 subjects were screen failures mainly due to exclusion and inclusion criteria not met.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Randomization was stratified by disease severity (moderate Investigator's global assessment [IGA] = 3 versus severe IGA = 4 atopic dermatitis and region (Japan versus rest of world). Assignment to arms was done centrally in 1:1:1:1:1:1 ratio for Dupilumab (300 mg qw; 300 mg q2w; 200 mg q2w; 300 mg q4w & 100 mg q4w) and Placebo.

    Percent Change in Eczema Area and Severity Index Score (EASI) From Baseline to Week 16
    End point description
    The EASI score was used to measure the severity and extent of atopic dermatitis (AD) and measures erythema, infiltration, excoriation and lichenification on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper and lower extremities. The total EASI score ranges from 0 to 72 points, with the higher scores reflecting the worse severity of AD. Analysis was performed on full analysis set (FAS) included all randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Here, number of subjects analyzed = subjects with EASI score assessment at specified time-points. Efficacy data was set to missing after use of rescue medication. Missing values imputed by last observation carried forward (LOCF). Here 'n' signifies number of subjects with available data for each specified category: (Score at) Baseline; (Score at) Week 16; (Percent) Change at Week 16

    Statistical analysis description
    LS mean and standrad error were obtained using analysis of covariance(ANCOVA) model with treatment and randomization strata(moderate vs severe;Japan vs rest of world) and relevant baseline values as covariates. Multiplicity was controlled using hierarchical testing procedure: highest dose vs. placebo was tested first.Comparison order was 300 mg qw, 300 mg q2w, 200 mg q2w, 300 mg q4w & 100 mg q4w, vs placebo respectively.Testing continues only if previous comparison was statistically significant.

    Percentage of Subjects Who Achieved Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Response at Week 16
    End point description
    IGA is an assessment scale used to determine severity of AD and clinical response to treatment on a 5-point scale (0 = clear; 1 = almost clear; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = severe) based on erythema and papulation/infiltration. Therapeutic response is an IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear). Values after first rescue medication were set to missing and subjects with missing IGA score at Week 16 were treated as a non-responders. Analysis was performed on FAS.

    End point description
    Pruritus NRS is an assessment tool that is used to report the intensity of subject’s pruritus (itch), both maximum and average intensity, during a 24-hour recall period. Subjects were asked the following question: how would a subject rate his itch at the worst moment during the previous 24 hours (for maximum itch intensity on a scale of 0 – 10 [0 = no itch; 10 = worst itch imaginable]). Analysis was performed on FAS. Here, number of subjects analyzed = subjects with pruritus NRS assessment at specified time-points. Efficacy data was set to missing after use of rescue medication. Missing values imputed by LOCF. Here 'n' signifies number of subjects with available data for specified category. (Score at) Baseline; (Score at) Week 16; (Percent) Change at Week 16
