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

    • alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), or alkaline phosphatase ≥2.0-times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or
    • cytopenia (to include any of the following: white blood cells (WBC) <3.5×103/μL; hemoglobin (Hgb) <10 g/dL; platelets <120×103/μL; neutrophils absolute <1.5×103/μL;) or
    • Creatinine ≥1.25-times the ULN;
    If, in the Investigator’s opinion, there is no reason for the test result(s) to be abnormal, the abnormal test(s) may be repeated once during the Screening period.
    16. Presence of, or history of cancer, with the exception of completely excised, non-metastatic squamous cell or basal cell carcinomas of the skin;

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    - Safety will be assessed based on all subjects in the study who have received at least one dose of study drug (Safety Population):
    • Physical examinations;
    • Adverse events (AEs);
    • Vital signs;
    • Laboratory values – clinical chemistry, hematology, urinalysis;
    • Electrocardiograms (ECGs).
    - The primary efficacy endpoint for the Base Phase is proportion of subjects in remission in arm A group compared to arm B at the Week 12 Visit.
    Remission is defined as all of the following:
    1. A total Modified Mayo score of 2 points or lower;
    2. No individual sub-score exceeding 1 point;
    3. No use of any prohibited medications;
    4. No increase in dose of any stable UC related concomitant medications

    The primary efficacy endpoint for the Extension Phase will compare the proportions (%) of subjects achieving a Modified Mayo Score indicating remission between Week 24 in arm A and Week 12 in arm B.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Safety - every visit
    Efficacy - Week 12
    Extension phase efficacy - Week 24
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    In addition to the primary efficacy analysis, comparisons will be performed between the two arms for the following Base Phase (Day 1- Week 12) secondary efficacy outcomes:
    1. At Week 12, the proportion of responders in each arm; response is defined as all of the following:
    • ≥3-points and at least 30% decrease from the Baseline Visit Modified Mayo Score;
    • ≥1-point decrease from the Baseline Visit in the rectal bleeding component of the Modified Mayo Score or an absolute sub-score for rectal bleeding of 0 or 1;
    • No use of any prohibited medications;
    • No increase in dose of any stable UC related concomitant medications.
    2. At Week 12, the proportion of subjects in each arm with a 2-point or greater decrease in the Modified Mayo score.
    3. Change from Baseline to Week 12 in the modified Baron score, an ordered categorical variable, in arm A compared to arm B.
    4. At Week 12, the proportion of subjects in each arm with mucosal healing, defined as all of the following:
    • An absolute sub-score for endoscopy of 0 or 1 (any degree of friability will receive a score of at least 2);
    • No use of any prohibited medications;
    • No increase in dose of any stable UC related concomitant medications.


    Extension Phase Secondary Efficacy Endpoints:
    The following endpoints will be analyzed:
    1. The proportion of responders at Week 24.
    2. The proportion of subjects at Week 24 with a 2-point or greater decrease in the Modified Mayo score.
    3. Change from Baseline to Week 24 in the modified Baron score, an ordered categorical variable.
    4. At Week 24: The proportion of subjects in each arm with mucosal healing, defined as all of the following:
    • An absolute sub-score for endoscopy of 0 or 1 (any degree of friability will receive a score of at least 2);
    • No use of any prohibited medications;
    • No increase in dose of any stable UC related concomitant medications.
    For each of the above secondary endpoints, the arm A Week 24 result will be compared to: a) the arm B endpoint result at Week 12; b) the arm A result for this endpoint at Week 12. The arm B endpoint result at Week 24 will be compared to the arm B endpoint result at Week 12.
    Additionally, the proportion (%) of subjects achieving a Modified Mayo Score indicating remission at Week 24 in arm A will be compared to the arm A remission result at Week 12; the arm B remission results at Week 24 will be compared to the arm B remission results at Week 12.
    An additional secondary analysis will compare the proportion of subjects in remission at Week 12 in arm A combined with those in remission at Week 24 in arm B to the proportion in remission at Week 12 in arm B.
