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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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
    Induction: The primary objective of the Induction phase is to determine if 8 weeks of treatment with 3.2 g/day of TP05 is not inferior to 3.2 g/day of Asacol™ in inducing clinical and endoscopic remission (a score ≤ 2 points on the Mayo scoring scale with no individual sub-score > 1 point) in subjects with active mild to moderate Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Open Label Extension (OLE): The primary objective of the OLE is to assess the safety and tolerability of TP05 over a 26-week period in subjects achieving endoscopic and clinical remission or exhibiting a response during the initial phase of TP0503. Maintenance of clinical remission by TP05 will also be assessed by determining the proportion of patients in clinical remission at the final visit.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Up to 14 days screening period 179 study centres were activated, 49 centres did not screen or enrol any study subjects, 15 centres screened subjects, but did not enroll any subjects and 115 centres enrolled subjects into the study.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    INCLUSION CRITERIA Subjects were required to meet the following criteria for enrollment into the study: 1. Male or non-pregnant, non-lactating females, 18 years of age or older. Females of child bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to randomisation, and must use a hormonal (oral, implantable or injectable) or ba

    Protocol deviation: 314
    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: The number of subjects that have started the pre-assignment period is the number of subjects screened, i.e 1141. The number of subjects enrolled is 817 which excludes 324 screen failures.

    Period 2: Clinical Response [1]
    End point description
    A decrease in the PMCS of >= 2 points and >= 30% from baseline, with a decrease in the rectal bleeding sub.score of >= 1 point or absolute rectal bleeding subscore of 1 or 0.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    week 16
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: This is the open-label extended induction phase with one arm. The endpoint is the proportion of patients achievien clinical response. There was no comparison between arms and no p-value was established.

    Period 3: Clinical Remission [2]
    End point description
    Clinical Remission was defined as a score of 0 points for both stool frequency and rectal bleeding on the Partial Mayo Clinic Score (PMCS)
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    week 38
    Notes
    [2] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: This is the open-label part of the trial. There are three arms in Period 3 which differ from each other in the daily dose of TP05: 1.6g, 3.2g and 4.8g. The endpoint here is the proportion of patients achieving Clinical Remission in each arm separately. There was no comparison between the three arms and no p-value was established.
