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   43853   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 ).

    Each muscles tested was evaluated on a 0 - 10 scale where 0 indicated the weakest muscle score and 10 indicated the strongest muscle score. The total MMT24 score ranged from 0 - 240, where an increasing trend in the values indicates improvement. A positive change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    16 Dec 2013
    The reason for amending the protocol was the expansion of the study to other countries (Japan) where the MCT system was not approved yet. The cardiac monitoring was performed with a Holter ECG instead of the device planned in the initial sites. The technical properties of the Holter device require 4 additional visits to be added to the schedule, in order to apply the Holter device. Furthermore, typos were corrected and clarifications added.
    15 Apr 2014
    The reason for amending the protocol was the addition of recent findings in a mouse carcinogenicity study. The additions made to the protocol reflected the changes made in the Investigator’s Brochure version 11 and the patients’ ICF. A section of efficacy data in PM/DM was updated with final data of a completed PoC trial that had become available. The upper age limit was increased from 65 years to 70 years based on recent investigator feedback, to better accommodate the patient population in need for new therapy. Based on the large safety database with more than 1500 patients exposed to BAF312 in 15 completed and 8 ongoing trials (as of 5 March 2014), the risk-benefit profile of BAF312 was considered suitable for patients up to the age of 70. The study stopping rules were modified to allow for a full safety review prior to discontinuation of all patients in case of 2 patients experiencing a study drug related adverse event, as specified in the stopping rules. Considering the relatively long treatment duration of 48 weeks and 56 patients to be enrolled, chances were high to observe SAEs that could be judged as related because a relation could never be completely excluded. In such a situation it could be unethical to discontinue treatment immediately in all patients; in particular in those who were benefiting, at least until a full safety review had been conducted.
    01 Jul 2015
    The purpose of this amendment was to update the eligibility criteria, to adapt the protocol to newly available information, and to include a broader population that better reflects the patient population in need of new therapeutic options. Furthermore, typing errors were corrected, and clarifications were added.
    27 Jul 2015
    The purpose of this amendment was to update the contact data for the Translational Medicine Expert, and to correct inconsistencies between synopsis and protocol body. Furthermore, Figure 3-1 was updated regarding time windows.

    Interruptions (globally)
    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats
    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The study was terminated prematurely after an interim analysis for futility. The study did not provide any evidence for efficacy of BAF312 in dermatomyositis. There were no safety concerns.
