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
    To compare the effect of a single iv 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 iv dose VAY736 in patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome as measured by adverse events (AEs).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    Change in EULAR Sjögren's syndrome disease activity index (ESSDAI)
    End point description
    The effect of VAY736 on clinical disease activity was measured by the change in ESSDAI (EULAR Sjögren's syndrome disease activity index) between baseline and week 12. The instrument contains 12 organ-specific domains contributing to disease activity. For each domain, features of disease activity are scored in 3 or 4 levels according to their severity. These scores are then summed across the 12 domains in a weighted manner to provide the total score (range 0-123). A reduction from baseline indicates improvement in patients.

    Change in EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Patient Response Index (ESSPRI)
    End point description
    The ESSPRI is a patient self-reported outcome measure to assess dryness, limb pain, fatigue and mental fatigue, where each of the domains normally reported as 0 (not at all) to 10 (extremely severe). The final ESSPRI score is the average of three: dryness, pain and fatigue. A reduction from baseline indicates the improvement of symptoms. During the study all individual scores were reported as 1 to 10 instead. A linear transformation was reported to map the scores to the range of 0-10.

    End point description
    The SF-36 is a 36-item, patient self-reported outcome measure (questionnaires) of patient health. The outcome of the questionnaires in eight scales results in two summary scores, physical component and mental component, both ranging from 0 - 100. An increase from baseline in either component summary score indicates reduced disease burden.

    Amendment
    26 Mar 2015
    The purpose of this amendment was to introduce the option of open-label VAY736 single dose treatment to patients that previously received placebo during the study. This change offered each patient the opportunity to receive active VAY736 treatment which has the potential to provide clinical benefits for their condition.
