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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To measure the effect of teriflunomide on lymphocytes subsets in subjects with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS) as compared with baseline values and those of a reference population of untreated healthy subjects.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subjects were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time in language and terms appropriate for the subject and considering the local culture. During the course of the trial, subjects were provided with individual subject cards indicating the nature of the trial the subject is participating, contact details and any information needed in the event of a medical emergency. Collected personal data and human biological samples were processed in compliance with the Sanofi-Aventis Group Personal Data Protection Charter ensuring that the Group abides by the laws governing personal data protection in force in all countries in which it operates.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study was conducted at 9 centers in 3 countries (for RMS subjects) and at a single site in Germany (for healthy subjects). A total of 87 subjects (56 RMS subjects and 31 healthy subjects) were screened between 10 October 2013 and 24 June 2014.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Of 56 RMS subjects screened, 50 were included and treated in the treatment arm. Of 31 healthy subjects screened, 20 were included in the healthy subjects' arm. 17 subjects (6 RMS subjects and 11 healthy subjects) were screen failure due to unmet inclusion criteria.

    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    All Adverse Events (AE) were collected from signature of informed consent form up to final visit of the subject regardless of seriousness or relationship to investigational product.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Reported AEs and deaths were AEs developed/worsened and deaths occurred during 'treatment-emergent period’(time from administration of first investigational study drug to last dose of study drug in extension period for those who entered in extension or to last data[lab,vital signs or AE] available for those who did not enter in extension period.
