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 ).

    Participants received matching placebo, subcutaneous (SC) at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and every 4 weeks (Q4W) thereafter throughout the double-blind (DB) period up to protocol-defined relapse or treated relapse in addition to baseline treatment. Following the DB period all participants received satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment) at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter up to the clinical cut-off date (CCOD). At the CCOD, participants who had not experienced a relapse during the DB period were invited to initiate satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter) after 4 weeks from their last study treatment dose in the DB period.

    Time to First Protocol-Defined Relapse (TFR) in the Double-Blind Period
    End point description
    TFR was defined as time from randomization to first occurrence of relapse in the DB period. Protocol-defined relapse was occurrence of new or worsening neurological symptoms attributable to neurological NMO or NMOSD as adjudicated by an independent clinical endpoint committee (CEC). Symptoms had to persist for >24 hours and not be attributable to confounding clinical factors (e.g., fever, infection, injury, change in mood, adverse reactions to medications). New or worsening neurological symptoms that occurred < 31 days following onset of a protocol-defined relapse were considered part of same relapse (i.e., if 2 relapses had onset days that were 30 days of one another, they were counted only as 1 relapse), and onset date used in analysis was the date of first relapse. ITT population. 99999 and 9999999=lower and upper limit of CI were not reached due to low number of participants with events. 999999=median was not reached due to low number of participants with events.

    Change from Baseline at Week 24 in the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Score for Pain
    End point description
    The VAS is a subjective measure of pain consisting of a 100 mm line with two endpoints representing 0 = “no pain” and 100 = “pain as bad as it could be”. Participants rated their pain by placing a mark on the line corresponding to their current level of pain. The distance along the line from the “no pain” marker was measured with a ruler giving a pain score out of 100. A higher score indicated more pain and lower scores reflected a better health state. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement. ANCOVA was used for analysis to report the adjusted mean and standard error (SE). ITT population included all participants randomized to the treatment groups. Missing data were imputed by baseline observation carried forward (BOCF) method.

    Change from Baseline at Week 24 in the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) Fatigue Score
    End point description
    The FACIT Fatigue scale is a 13-item questionnaire that assesses self-reported fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and function over the past 7 days. As each of the 13 items of the scale ranges from 0-4, the range of possible scores was computed using FACIT scoring algorithm as 0-52, where 0 is the worst possible score and 52 the best which indicated less fatigue. A positive change from baseline indicates an improvement. ANCOVA was used for analysis to report the adjusted mean and SE. ITT population included all participants randomized to the treatment groups. Missing data were imputed by BOCF method.

    Relapse-Free Rate During the DB Period
    End point description
    Protocol-defined relapse was occurrence of new or worsening neurological symptoms attributable to neurological neuromyelitis optica (NMO) or neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Symptoms had to persist for >24 hours and not be attributable to confounding clinical factors (e.g., fever, infection, injury, change in mood, adverse reactions to medications). New or worsening neurological symptoms that occurred < 31 days following onset of a protocol-defined relapse were considered part of same relapse (i.e., if 2 relapses had onset days that were 30 days of one another, they were counted only as 1 relapse), and onset date used in analysis was the date of first relapse. ITT population included all participants randomized to the treatment groups. 6666=0 participants.

    Change from Baseline in SF-36 General Health Domain Scores at 24 Week Intervals During the DB Period
    End point description
    The SF-36v2 is a multi-purpose, short form health survey with 36 questions. It has 8 domains (vitality, physical functioning, bodily pain, general health, role-physical, role emotional, social role functioning and mental health) of functional health and well-being scores as well as psychometrically based physical and mental health component summary measures and a preference-based health utility index. The domain scores were transformed to a 0-100 scale, where higher scores indicate better quality of life. A positive change from baseline indicates an improvement. ITT population included all participants randomized to the treatment groups. 9999=SD was not calculable for 1 participant. 6666=0 participants.

    The EQ-5D is a participant-answered questionnaire measuring 5 dimensions of mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression with 3 possible response categories: 1) no problems; 2) some problems; 3) severe problems. The scores from 5 dimensions are used as input to generate EQ-5D index score using scoring algorithm. The EQ-5D index score is scored on a scale of -0.2 to 1. A higher score reflects a better health state. A positive change from baseline indicates an improvement. ITT population included all participants randomized to the treatment groups. 9999=SD was not calculable for 1 participant. 6666=0 participants.

    Serum Satralizumab Concentration During the DB Period [1]
    End point description
    The safety analysis population (SAF) included all randomized participants who had received at least 1 dose of satralizumab or placebo. 9999=SD was not calculable for 1 participant.
    End point type

    End point timeframe
    Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and every 4 weeks thereafter up to Week 224
    Notes
    [1] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: The endpoint reports data only for the arm treated with satralizumab.

    Number of Participants with at Least One Adverse Event in the DB Period
    End point description
    An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Pre-existing conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events. The SAF included all randomized participants who had received at least 1 dose of satralizumab or placebo.

    Number of Participants With Suicidal Behaviors and Ideations Collected by Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale in the DB Period
    End point description
    The Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) is an assessment tool to evaluate suicidal ideation and behavior. Categories have binary responses (yes/no) and include: Wish to be Dead; Non-specific Active Suicidal Thoughts; Active Suicidal Ideation with Any Methods (Not Plan) without Intent to Act; Active Suicidal Ideation with Some Intent to Act, without Specific Plan; Active Suicidal Ideation with Specific Plan and Intent, Preparatory Acts and Behavior; Aborted Attempt; Interrupted Attempt; Actual Attempt (non-fatal); Completed Suicide. Suicidal ideation or behavior is indicated by a "yes" answer to any of the listed categories. A score of 0 is assigned if no suicide risk is present. A score of 1 or higher indicates suicidal ideation or behavior. The SAF included all randomized participants who had received at least 1 dose of satralizumab or placebo.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    29 Nov 2013
    Definition of NMOSD was changed. The population was limited to optic neuritis or transverse myelitis with seropositivity in anti-AQP4 antibody. Adolescent subjects aged 1217 years were allowed to enter the study. Considering the impact of previous treatment on safety and efficacy, the treatment prohibited duration was modified. Methods and duration of contraception were added to exclusion criteria. Because patients with NMO/NMOSD tend to show lower white blood cell value due to baseline treatment with immunosuppressant drugs, the white blood cell exclusion criterion was modified. The protocol v2 was released prior to any patients being enrolled in the study.
    27 Feb 2014
    Suicidality assessment (C-SSRS) was added as a safety objective per Food and Drug Administration (FDA) request. Based on epidemiologic data, the percentage of patients with negative anti-AQP4 serostatus at screening was capped at 30% in order to reflect the real world population. Further clarifications on the process of screening for potential clinical relapses were added. The roles and responsibilities of the treating and assessing investigator were introduced and the blinding of study and site personnel to certain laboratory parameters were clarified.
    18 Dec 2014
    The criteria for protocol-defined relapse (PDR) were aligned with another pivotal Phase III study in patients with NMO/NMOSD (study BN40900 / SA309JG/ EudraCT ID 2015-005431-41), which was modified based on FDA's comment. According to the Paediatric Committee’s (PDCO’s) request at least 8 adolescents were to be enrolled. Combination baseline treatment for adolescents was allowed given the low prevalence of pediatric patients and their treatment situation. Additional follow up assessments for adolescents were added. A blood sample collected before screening was accepted for anti-AQP4 antibody screening assessment in case the blood sample at screening was negative for anti-AQP4 antibody, considering the possibility that anti-AQP4 antibody status may change from positive to negative due to treatment for relapse. Permitted relapse treatments and prohibited treatments were modified considering clinical practice. Time limit of relapse evaluation to be recognized as PDR was aligned to another pivotal Phase III study in participants with NMO/NMOSD (study BN40900/SA-309JG// EudraCT ID 2015-005431-41) to avoid incomplete or biased reporting, and relapse assessment procedures were clarified. To avoid missing potential relapses, additional phone calls between visits and instructions to remind participants of possible relapse symptoms were added. The conditions when a participant could move from the double blind (DB) period to the open-label extension (OLE) period were clarified.
    03 Jun 2015
    Considering the clinical situation where no drugs have been approved for treatment of NMO and NMOSD, the open-label extension period was extended from an ethical point of view. This change was also in alignment with the agreed pediatric investigation plan (PIP). Inclusion of adolescents with negative anti-AQP4 serostatus at screening was allowed.
    19 Oct 2015
    Clarification that the population which was capped by anti-AQP4 antibody status at screening was limited only to adults.
    14 Dec 2016
    Addition that adolescents may be enrolled into the OLE period after the total number of PDRs confirmed by the clinical endpoint committee (CEC) reached 26. The minimum number of adolescents (12 to 17 years old) with positive anti- AQP4 serostatus at screening was changed from 6 to 4. The use of satralizumab prefilled syringe (PFS) with needle safety device (NSD) were implemented to be used in the OLE period after the total number of CEC confirmed PDRs reached 26.
    17 Apr 2017
    The description on the timing of satralizumab PFS with NSD implementation was modified so that satralizumab PFS with NSD could be administered for participants who had already entered into open-label extension period after availability at each study site. The reporting procedure when the medical device (satralizumab PFS with NSD) resulted in an adverse event (AE) to an individual other than the study participant was clarified.
