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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of secukinumab (300mg) treatment with respect to PASI 75 response rate after 16 weeks treatment, by assessing the percentage (%) of patients achieving PASI 75 after 16 weeks compared to baseline (defined as PASI status at Week 0).
    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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 This study consisted of 3 periods: initiation, maintenance 1 and maintenance 2. During the initiation period, participants received secukinumab 150 mg or 300 mg for 16 weeks.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 For both maintenance periods 1 and 2, after 16 weeks and 48 weeks, respectively, responders at both the 150 mg and 300 mg doses continued on their initiation doses during maintenance periods 1 and 2. Non-responders at 150 mg were uptitrated to 300 mg. Non-responders at 300 mg returned to routine treatment under the care of their usual clinician.

    Arm description
    		 Participants self-administered 300 mg secukinumab loading dose subcutaneously at Day 0 (initiation of study drug) and at weeks 1, 2, 3 & 4, and then every 4 weeks. Following the Primary Endpoint at 16 weeks, participants meeting the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) criteria of adequate response were eligible to continue on study treatment for a further 32 weeks. Participants not meeting this NICE criterion returned to routine treatment under the care of their usual Clinical Team. Following assessment at week 48, participants meeting the NICE criteria of adequate response were eligible to continue on study treatment for a further 24 weeks. Participants not meeting this NICE criterion returned to routine treatment under the care of their usual Clinical Team.

    PASI is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). Body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk, legs); each area is scored by itself and scores are combined for final PASI. For each area, percent of skin involved is estimated: 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%), and severity is estimated by clinical signs, erythema, induration and desquamation; scale 0 (none) to 4 (maximum). Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each area* area score weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2 body: 0.3 legs: 0.4). PASI 75 is defined as participants achieving ≥ 75% improvement from baseline.

    PASI is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). Body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk, legs); each area is scored by itself and scores are combined for final PASI. For each area, percent of skin involved is estimated: 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%), and severity is estimated by clinical signs, erythema, induration and desquamation; scale 0 (none) to 4 (maximum). Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each area* area score weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2 body: 0.3 legs: 0.4). PASI 75 is defined as participants achieving ≥ 75% improvement from baseline.

The DLQI is a ten item general dermatology disability index designed to assess health-related quality of life in adult participants with skin diseases. The measure is widely used: it has been tested across 32 different skin conditions and is available in 55 languages. The DLQI total score is a sum of all 10 responses. Scores range from 0 to 30 with higher scores indicating greater health-related quality of life impairment.

It is a self-administered questionnaire which includes domains of daily activity, leisure, personal relationships, symptoms and feelings, treatment and school/work activities. Each domain has 4 response categories ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much). "Not relevant" is a valid score also and is scored as 0. The DLQI total score is a sum of all 10 responses. Scores range from 0 to 30 with higher scores indicating greater health-related quality of life impairment. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
