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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 this study was to demonstrate the superiority of secukinumab compared to ustekinumab in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis based on the proportion of Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 90 responders at Week 16.
    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.

    Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (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 90 responders were defined as participants achieving ≥ 90% improvement at Week 16

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    08 Dec 2014
    Amendment 1: introduced an additional, week 24 analysis that was planned to deliver data to fulfill requirements of agencies data requests. At the time of this amendment, the enrolment into the study was completed.
    19 Feb 2015
    Amendment 2: provided continued treatment of patients on secukinumab for additional 52 weeks (overall up to 104 weeks). This extension of treatment allowed for safety, tolerability, and efficacy data to be collected from the participating patients over a longer period. The study could be terminated at any time for any reason by Novartis, including terminating the study only in selected countries where the drug was commercially available. This decision was made on a country-by-country basis as for some countries the study continued as planned even though secukinumab may have become commercially available. This protocol amendment also introduced new Week 52 analysis and specified that additional analyses might be conducted. This amendment also aligned the requirements for contraception methods to be used by patients during the study with the current safety profile of secukinumab and the Investigator`s Brochure. According to the Exclusion criteria (Section 4.2) of the study protocol women of childbearing potential must use 'highly effective' methods of contraception during dosing of study treatment and for 16 weeks after stopping treatment. Available data on secukinumab now only require 'effective' methods of contraception. (Section 3.6 Risks and Benefits and Investigator`s Brochure AIN457/secukinumab, Edition No.13 Section 5.2.14 Guidance for prevention of pregnancy). Therefore, the advice to female patients to prevent pregnancy was amended to be less restrictive and to allow use of effective methods of contraception.
