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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1.Subject must have radiographic evidence of knee osteoarthritis in the medial compartment of the index knee with Kellgren-Lawrence Grade 2 or 3 (with minimum 2 mm joint space width) during Screening as evaluated by a qualified central imaging reader. Prior radiographs taken no more than 3 months before Study Day 1 with Synaflexer™ can be submitted for centralized eligibility reading.
    2. Subject must have either constant or intermittent index knee pain at least 14 days (regardless of intensity) over the past 30 days at the initial screening visit. The intensity of index knee pain is between 4 and 8 inclusive, at the initial Screening Visit and Study Day 1 (as recorded on question 1 of the Index Knee Pain Intensity Questionnaire).
    3.Subject has one or more clinical signs and symptoms of active inflammation in the index knee, as defined by (but not limited to)localized pain, joint stiffness, swelling and effusion during Screening and Study Day 1.
    4.Presence of synovitis in the index knee confirmed by ultrasound or MRI during Screening.
    5.Subject discontinued analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) and nutraceuticals (e.g., glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, shark cartilage, diacerein, soy extract). The washout period will be at least 5 half-lives of the longest acting analgesic used, or 48 hours, whichever is longer prior to first dose of study drug.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1.History of major allergic reaction or significant sensitivity to any constituents of the study drug, history of anaphylactic reaction to any agent (e.g., food products or bee stings) or history of a major reaction to any Immunoglobulin G (IgG) -containing product.
    2.Significant trauma or surgery to the index knee within the last year or arthroscopy of the index knee within 6 months of Screening.
    3.Kellgren-Lawrence Grade 1 or 4 in the index knee.
    4.Severe knee malalignment, either greater than 4.0° in varus; or greater than 8.0° in valgus angulation in the index knee.
    5.Diagnosis of one or more of the following:
    a.Inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune disorder, seronegative spondyloarthropathy, gout, or pseudogout (defined as acute episodic attacks of swollen , painful joints in a subject with X-Ray chondrocalcinosis or CPPD crystals);
    b.Other chronic painful syndromes (such as Paget's disease and fibromyalgia) and clinically significant non-articular musculoskeletal pain that could interfere with assessment of pain at the index knee.
    6. History or evidence of active tuberculosis (TB)
    7. Any uncontrolled medical illness or unstable treatment ot therapy.

    ● To evaluate the effect of ABT-981 on index knee resting pain at Weeks 16, 26 and 52 using the 11-point NRS scale (NRS-11).
    ● To evaluate the effect of ABT-981 on Patient Global Assessment of Arthritis at Weeks 16, 26 and 52.
