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   43861   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the immunogenicity of sarilumab administered as monotherapy from baseline to Week 24.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subjects were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time in language and terms appropriate for the subject and considering the local culture. During the course of the trial, subjects were provided with individual subject cards indicating the nature of the trial the subject is participating, contact details and any information needed in the event of a medical emergency. Collected personal data and human biological samples were processed in compliance with the Sanofi-Aventis Group Personal Data Protection Charter ensuring that the Group abides by the laws governing personal data protection in force in all countries in which it operates.

    Percentage of Subjects With Incidence of Antidrug Antibodies (ADA) [1]
    End point description
    ADA to sarilumab and anti-sarilumab neutralizing antibodies in serum samples were determined using a validated electrochemiluminescence immunoassay method. Percentage of subjects with positive ADA during treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) period (time from first dose of investigational medicinal product [IMP] to last dose of IMP + 60 days) was determined. Persistent ADA Response: treatment-emergent ADA detected at 2 or more consecutive sampling time points during the TEAE period, where the first and last ADA positive samples were separated by a period of at least 16 weeks or if the last measured sample was positive. ADA samples were collected prior to IMP administration at Week 0 (baseline), Week 2, 4, 12, 24 and 30. Analysis was performed on immunogenicity population included all randomized subjects who received at least one dose of sarilumab with at least one post-dose, evaluable ADA sample.
