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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective was to demonstrate the superior efficacy of sirukumab monotherapy compared with adalimumab monotherapy in biologic naive subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who were intolerant to methotrexate (MTX), who were considered inappropriate for treatment with MTX, or who were inadequate responders to MTX.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The safety assessments included the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratory tests (hematology and serum chemistry), vital signs and physical examinations which were assessed throughout the study. This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with Good Clinical Practices and applicable regulatory requirements.

    Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Index Score 28 (DAS28) Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) at Week 24
    End point description
    The Disease Activity Index Score 28 using ESR [DAS28 (ESR)] is a derived score combining tender joints (28 joints), swollen joints (28 joints), ESR, and Patient’s Global Assessment of Disease Activity. The 28 joints evaluated for swelling and tenderness were shoulder, elbow, wrist, MCP1, MCP2, MCP3, MCP4, MCP5, PIP1, PIP2, PIP3, PIP4, PIP5 joints of the upper right and upper left extremities as well as the knee joints of the lower right and lower left extremities. The DAS28-ESR is expressed on a score range of "0-10", with the minimum score= 0 (best) to maximum score= 10 (worst). Full analysis set (FAS) was defined as all randomized participants who received at least 1 (partial or complete) dose of study agent. Participants with missing DAS28 (ESR) at baseline were excluded from the analysis.
