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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    • To compare the effect of a single i.v. dose VAY736 versus placebo on the clinical disease activity of primary Sjögren’s syndrome patients as measured by the change of a modified EULAR Sjögren’s Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) between base line and week 12
    • To assess the safety and tolerability of a single i.v. dose VAY736 in patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome as measured by adverse events (AEs)
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    • To evaluate the effect of a single i.v. dose VAY736 versus placebo on self-reported outcomes in pSS patients at 12 weeks compared to baseline as measured by the EULAR Sjögren’s Syndrome Patient Reported Intensity (ESSPRI), the Short Form (36) Health Survey (SF-36), and the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) Questionnaire.
    • To determine the changes in the physician global assessment of the patient’s overall disease activity between baseline and week 12 as recorded by a visual analog scale (VAS)
    • To determine the changes in the patients’ global assessment of their disease activity between baseline and week 12 as recorded by a VAS
    • To determine the pharmacokinetics following a single dose i.v. VAY736 in pSS patients
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment is performed
    2. Male and female subjects age 18 to 75 years of age included
    3. Fulfilled revised European US consensus criteria for pSS (Vitali et al 2002); if key inclusion criteria are missing from medical history, information will be obtained at screening and may be used as a baseline value if required
    4. ESSDAI value ≥ 6
    5. Elevated serum titers at screening of ANA (≥ 1:160) and of RF
    OR
    Seropositive at screening for anti-SSA (± anti-SSB) antibodies
    6. Stimulated whole salivary flow rate at screening of > 0 mL/min
    7. Subjects must weigh at least 50 kg and no more than 150 kg to
    participate in the study, and must have a body mass index (BMI) within
    the range of 18 - 35 kg/m2
    8. Able to communicate well with the investigator, to understand and
    comply with the requirements of the study.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a single i.v. dose VAY736 on the clinical disease activity of primary Sjögren’s syndrome patients as measured by the ESSDAI at week 12 compared to baseline. The statistical analysis model will include data on the ESSDAI from all timepoints at which it was recorded (baseline, weeks 6, 12 and 24) but the primary comparison is made for week 12.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The primary efficacy variable is the ESSDAI recorded at baseline and week 12.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary efficacy variables supporting the exploratory objectives are:
    • EULAR Sjögren’s Syndrome Patient Reported Intensity (ESSPRI) change from baseline.
    • Change in physician global assessment of the patient’s overall disease activity between baseline and week 12 as recorded by a visual analog scale (VAS)
    • Change in the patient’s global assessment of their disease activity between baseline and week 12 as recorded by a VAS
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The secondary efficacy variables will be analyzed following the same approach used for the primary efficacy variable.
