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.

    -To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ofatumumab SC.
    -To evaluate disease flare/relapse during treatment with ofatumumab SC.
    -To evaluate reductions in steroid dose while maintaining disease control.
    -To determine the extent of B-cell depletion and repletion following ofatumumab SC.

    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    To be eligible for enrollment in the study, subjects must meet all of the following criteria:

    All Subjects
    1. Adults (18 through 70 years of age) with clinically-documented diagnosis of PV for >2 months and <10 years.
    2. History of biopsy consistent with PV (H and E staining and direct
    immunofluorescence). If no history, a biopsy may be performed during the Screening Period.
    3. At least 1 previous episode of a failed steroid taper (ie, disease flare/relapse at a prednisone/prednisolone dose >10 mg/day).
    Additional Criteria Prior to Randomization
    4. Screening anti-Dsg antibodies consistent with a diagnosis of PV (ie, elevated anti-Dsg3 antibodies).
    5. Has initiated and received a stable dose of prednisone/prednisolone from a minimum of 20 mg/day (eg, 0.25 mg/kg/day for an 80-kg person) up to a maximum of 120 mg/day or 1.5 mg/kg/day (whichever is higher) for >= 2 weeks prior to
    randomization. (Note: subjects who are on every-other-day dosing regimens need to change to a daily dosing regimen for >= 2 weeks during the Screening Period in order to qualify.)
    6. Has exhibited PV disease control, defined as no new lesions for >= 2 weeks.

    Additional Criteria for Female Subjects

    7. A female subject is eligible to enter the study if she:
    a. Is of nonchildbearing potential, who is documented as either surgically sterile (bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or post-hysterectomy) or is postmenopausal without menses for >2 years. Women who are <2 years postmenopausal are required to have menopausal status confirmed by folliclestimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol levels at the screening evaluation. If FSH and estradiol levels do not provide confirmation of menopause, subject will be considered to be of childbearing potential.
    b. Is of childbearing potential, defined as a woman who has functional ovaries, ducts, and a uterus with no documented impairment that would cause sterility. This includes women with oligomenorrhea (even severe), women who are perimenopausal, and women who have just begun to menstruate. Subject must:
    - Have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening
    - Agree to the consistent and correct use of acceptable methods of contraception during heterosexual intercourse, beginning when the subject provides informed consent and lasting until 6 months after last dose of investigational product. Acceptable methods of contraception are limited to the following:
    -Oral contraceptives (either combined or progesterone only)
    -Injectable progesterone
    -Levonorgestrel implants
    -Estrogenic vaginal ring
    -Percutaneous contraceptive patches
    -Intrauterine device or intrauterine system with a documented failure rate of <1% per year
    -Male partner sterilization (vasectomy with documentation of
    azoospermia) prior to the female subject’s entry into the study; this male must be the subject’s sole partner
    -Double-barrier method: condom and an occlusive cap (diaphragm or
    cervical/vault caps) with a vaginal spermicidal agent
    (foam/gel/film/cream/suppository)
    -Complete abstinence from heterosexual intercourse

    French subjects: In France, a subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if either affiliated with, or beneficary of, a social security category.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Subjects meeting any of the following criteria will not be enrolled:

    1. Diagnosis of pemphigus foliaceus, paraneoplastic pemphigus, or other autoimmune blistering disease (other than pemphigus vulgaris).
    2. Past or current history of hypersensitivity to components of the investigational product or medically significant adverse effects (including allergic reactions) from cetirizine (or antihistamine equivalent) or paracetamol/acetaminophen.
    3. Prior treatment with rituximab without achieving disease control within 6 months of initiating rituximab dosing.
    4. Prior treatment with any of the following within the specified periods (refer toprotocol, table page 32)
    5. Confirmed PML, or neurological findings potentially consistent with PML.
    6. Evidence or history of clinically significant infection including:
    -Chronic or ongoing active infectious disease requiring long-term systemic treatment, including, but not limited to, chronic renal infection, chronic chest infection with bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, or active hepatitis C.
    -Positive test for HBsAg. For HBsAg negative, but anti-HBc positive (regardless of HBsAb status), an HBV DNA test will be performed and the subject will be excluded if results are positive. Consult with a physician experienced in the care and management of subjects with hepatitis B to manage/treat subjects who are
    anti-HBc positive.
    -History of positive serology for human immunodeficiency virus.
    -Previous serious opportunistic or atypical infections.
    -Prior history, or suspicion, of tuberculosis.
    7. Past or current malignancy, except for:
    -Cervical carcinoma Stage 1B or less.
    -Noninvasive basal cell and squamous cell skin carcinoma.
    -Cancer diagnoses with a duration of complete response (remission) >5 years.
    Note: A history of hematologic malignancy excludes a subject from
    participation, regardless of response.
    8. Significant concurrent, uncontrolled medical condition that could affect the subject’s safety, impair the subject’s reliable participation in the study, impair the evaluation of endpoints, or necessitate the use of medication not allowed by the protocol.
    9. Any of the following screening laboratory values:
    -White blood cells (WBC) <3.8 GI/L (<3800/mm3).
    -Neutrophils <2 GI/L (<2000/mm3).
