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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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 efficacy of etrolizumab (105 mg SC every 4 weeks [Q4W]) compared with placebo for the induction of remission in TNF-naive patients with ulcerative colitis as determined by the Mayo Clinic Score at Week 10
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in full conformance with the ICH E6 guideline for Good Clinical Practice and the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki or the laws and regulations of the country in which the research is conducted, whichever afforded the greater protection to the individual. All subjects signed an informed consent form before participating in the study.
    Background therapy
    During the induction phase (Day 1 to Week 10), continuation of stable baseline doses of the following non-investigational medicinal products were permitted: oral 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA); azathioprine; 6-mercaptopurine; methotrexate; corticosteroids up to 30 milligrams per day (mg/day) of prednisone (or equivalent); and budesonide up to 9 mg/day. From Week 10 to Week 14, subjects who achieved clinical remission at Week 10 were to continue immunosuppressants (AZA, 6-MP, MTX) at a stable dose unless dose reduction or discontinuation was required due to immunosuppressant-related toxicity. For subjects who stayed in the study, corticosteroids were to be tapered starting from Week 10 in those who achieved clinical remission. Throughout the study, probiotics and oral 5-ASA may have been continued at a stable dose. Occasional use of NSAIDs and acetaminophen (e.g., for headache, arthritis, myalgias, menstrual cramps) and aspirin up to 325 mg daily were permitted throughout the study. Antidiarrheals (e.g., loperamide, diphenoxylate with atropine) for control of chronic diarrhea were permitted throughout the study.

    Participants were stratified by concomitant treatment with corticosteroids (yes/no) at randomization, concomitant treatment with immunosuppressants (yes/no) at randomization, and disease activity measured during screening (MCS ≤9/MCS ≥10). The MCS ranges from 0 to 12 and is a composite of the four following assessments of disease activity: stool frequency subscore, rectal bleeding subscore, endoscopy subscore, and physician's global assessment (PGA) subscore. Each of the four assessments was rated with a score from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe disease.

    The Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) ranges from 0 to 12 and is a composite of the four following assessments of disease activity: stool frequency subscore, rectal bleeding subscore, endoscopy subscore, and physician's global assessment (PGA) subscore. Each of the four assessments was rated with a score from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Remission was defined as MCS less than or equal to (≤)2 with individual subscores ≤1 and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0. Participants were also classified as non-remitters if Week 10 assessments were missing or if they had received permitted/prohibited rescue therapy prior to assessment. Participants were stratified by concomitant treatment with corticosteroids or immunosuppressants at randomization and disease activity measured during screening (MCS ≤9/MCS ≥10); the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test adjusted the difference in remission rates and associated 95% confidence interval for the stratification factors.

    [3] - 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 secondary outcome measure of participants in remission only compared remission rates between the etrolizumab and adalimumab arms.

    Percentage of Participants in Clinical Remission at Week 10, as Determined by the MCS
    End point description
    The Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) ranges from 0 to 12 and is a composite of the four following assessments of disease activity: stool frequency subscore, rectal bleeding subscore, endoscopy subscore, and physician's global assessment (PGA) subscore. Each of the four assessments was rated with a score from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Clinical remission was defined as MCS less than or equal to (≤)2 with individual subscores ≤1. Participants were also classified as non-remitters if Week 10 assessments were missing or if they had received permitted/prohibited rescue therapy prior to assessment. Participants were stratified by concomitant treatment with corticosteroids or immunosuppressants at randomization and disease activity measured during screening (MCS ≤9/MCS ≥10). The Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test adjusted the differences in remission rates and associated 95% confidence intervals for the stratification factors.

    The Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) ranges from 0 to 12 and is a composite of the four following assessments of disease activity: stool frequency subscore, rectal bleeding subscore, endoscopy subscore, and physician's global assessment subscore. Each of the four assessments was rated with a score from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Clinical Response was defined as: MCS ≥3-point decrease and 30% reduction from baseline as well as ≥1-point decrease in rectal bleeding subscore or an absolute rectal bleeding score of 0 or 1. Non-responders also included participants with missing Week 10 assessments or those who had received permitted/prohibited rescue therapy prior to assessment. Participants were stratified by concomitant treatment with corticosteroids or immunosuppressants at randomization and disease activity measured during screening (MCS ≤9 or ≥10); the CMH test adjusted the differences in response rates and associated 95% CIs for the stratification factors.

    Percentage of Participants With Improvement in Endoscopic Appearance of the Mucosa at Week 10, as Determined by the MCS Endoscopy Subscore
    End point description
    Improvement in endoscopic appearance of the mucosa was defined as a Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) endoscopy subscore ≤1. Blinded gastroenterologists experienced in inflammatory bowel disease performed central reading of endoscopies at an independent review facility. The rectum, sigmoid, and descending colon segments were assessed and each segment was assigned a score of 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. At baseline all segments were reviewed and the worst score from the three segments was recorded as the endoscopy subscore. Post-baseline the endoscopy score was the worst score of all segments that had been assessed at baseline, if the baseline endoscopy score had a sigmoid colon score ≤1. If at baseline the sigmoid colon score was ≥2, the post-baseline endoscopy score was the sigmoid colon score value. Non-responders also included participants with missing Week 10 assessments or those who had received permitted/prohibited rescue therapy prior to assessment.

    End point title
    Percentage of Participants With Histologic Remission at Week 10, as Determined by the Nancy Histological Index
    End point description
    Histologic remission is defined by the resolution of neutrophilic inflammation (e.g., absence of neutrophils in the crypts and lamina propria), defined by a Nancy Histological Index (NHI) score of ≤1. The NHI score ranges from 0 to 4, with the following definitions for each grade: 0 is no histologically significant disease; 1 is chronic inflammatory infiltrate with no acute inflammatory infiltrate; and 2, 3, and 4 are mildly, moderately, and severely active disease, respectively. A small pool of central readers who were blinded to both treatment arm and timepoint performed the histologic scoring. The same reader scored all slides for a given participant based on biopsies from the most inflamed region of the sigmoid colon. Participants were also classified as non-remitters if Week 10 assessments were missing or if they had received rescue therapy prior to assessment. The Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test adjusted the difference in remission rates and 95% CI for the stratification factors.

    Change from Baseline in MCS Rectal Bleeding Subscore at Week 6
    End point description
    Rectal bleeding data were collected via the participant’s diaries and each day a participant provided a score from 0 to 3 according to the following definitions: 0 = no blood in the stool; 1 = streaks of blood with stool less than half the time; 2 = obvious blood with stool most of the time; 3 = blood alone passed. The Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) rectal bleeding subscore was calculated as the worst value of three days of daily diary scores closest to anchor dates at baseline and post-baseline. The data was considered non-parametric and was reported using RANK analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Participants were stratified by concomitant treatment with corticosteroids or immunosuppressants at randomization and disease activity measured during screening (MCS ≤9/MCS ≥10); the model adjusted for these stratification factors along with the baseline rectal bleeding (RB) subscore.

    Change from Baseline in MCS Stool Frequency Subscore at Week 6
    End point description
    Stool frequency data were collected via the participant’s diaries and each day a participant provided a score from 0 to 3 according to the following definitions: 0 = normal number of stools; 1 = 1 to 2 more stools than normal; 2 = 3 to 4 more stools than normal; 3 = 5 or more stools than normal. The Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) stool frequency subscore was calculated as the average of three days daily diary scores closest to anchor dates at baseline and post-baseline. The data was considered non-parametric and was reported using RANK analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Participants were stratified by concomitant treatment with corticosteroids or immunosuppressants at randomization and disease activity measured during screening (MCS ≤9/MCS ≥10); the model adjusted for these stratification factors along with the baseline stool frequency (SF) subscore.

    Change From Baseline in Ulcerative Colitis (UC) Bowel Movement Signs and Symptoms at Week 10, as Assessed by UC Patient-Reported Outcome Signs and Symptoms (UC-PRO/SS)
    End point description
    The UC-PRO/SS questionnaire was collected in the e-diary and completed by participants for at least 9 to 12 consecutive days prior to a study visit. The bowel movement domain score ranges from 0 to 27, with a higher score indicating a worse disease state. The most recent 7 daily scores available (not including the visit) were selected for the calculation of the visit score. For each item in the questionnaire, a score was calculated for a visit by taking the average of the selected daily scores. The domain score for a visit was calculated as the sum of the averaged items for each question. A Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM) analysis of the data included the fixed categorical effects of treatment, visit, study stratification factors, and treatment-by-visit interaction, and the continuous covariates of the baseline UC-PRO/SS domain and baseline UC-PRO/SS domain-by-visit interaction. An unstructured covariance matrix was used to model the within-patient errors within the MMRM.

    Change From Baseline in Health-Related Quality of Life at Week 10, as Assessed by the Total Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) Score
    End point description
    The IBDQ is a 32-item questionnaire containing four domains: bowel symptoms (10 items), systemic symptoms (5 items), emotional function (12 items), and social function (5 items). An overall total IBDQ score was computed by summing the individual 32-item scores. The range for the IBDQ total score is 32 to 224, with higher scores denoting better health-related quality of life. The unadjusted mean and standard deviation for each study arm are reported. The change from baseline in the IBDQ score was analyzed using an ANCOVA model taking the stratification factors used at randomization into account (concomitant treatment with corticosteroids or immunosuppressants at randomization and disease activity measured during screening [MCS ≤9/MCS ≥10]), and the baseline IBDQ score used as a covariate.

    End point description
    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation in which a patient is administered a pharmaceutical product, regardless of causal attribution. The investigator independently assessed the severity and seriousness of each recorded AE. The AE severity grading scale for the NCI CTCAE v4.0 was used for assessing severity; any AE not specifically listed was rated according to the following grading scale from 1 to 5: 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = life-threatening, 5 = death. AEs of special interest included: elevated AST/ALT in combination with either elevated bilirubin or clinical jaundice; suspected transmission of infectious agent by the study drug; anaphylactic, anaphylactoid and systemic hypersensitivity reactions; and neurological signs, symptoms, and AEs that may suggest possible progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML).

    Number of Participants by Marked Laboratory Abnormality Status for Hematology Parameters as a Shift Table from Baseline to Week 10
    End point description
    Laboratory tests for hematology parameters were performed and values were compared with the Roche marked reference range. A marked abnormality was defined as a test result that was outside of the Roche marked reference range (labelled as 'High' or 'Low') and represented a clinically significant change from baseline. Not every laboratory abnormality qualified as an adverse event. A laboratory test result must have been reported as an adverse event if it met any of the following criteria: was accompanied by clinical symptoms; resulted in a change in study treatment or a medical intervention; or was clinically significant in the investigator's judgment. The results are presented as a shift from the baseline status to the Week 10 status. Baseline was defined as the last available assessment prior to first receipt of study drug. The 'missing' status only included participants with missing post-baseline values given they had a result at baseline. Abs = absolute count; Ery. = erythrocyte

    Number of Participants by Marked Laboratory Abnormality Status for Chemistry Parameters as a Shift Table from Baseline to Week 10
    End point description
    Laboratory tests for chemistry parameters were performed and values were compared with the Roche marked reference range. A marked abnormality was defined as a test result that was outside of the Roche marked reference range (labelled as 'High' or 'Low') and represented a clinically significant change from baseline. Not every laboratory abnormality qualified as an adverse event. A laboratory test result must have been reported as an adverse event if it met any of the following criteria: was accompanied by clinical symptoms; resulted in a change in study treatment or a medical intervention; or was clinically significant in the investigator's judgment. The results are presented as a shift from the baseline status to the Week 10 status. Baseline was defined as the last available assessment prior to first receipt of study drug. The 'missing' status only included participants with missing post-baseline values given they had a result at baseline.

    Number of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) to Etrolizumab at Baseline and Anytime Post-Baseline [40]
    End point description
    Anti-drug antibody (ADA) serum samples were collected from participants and analyzed using validated assays. Participants were considered to be ADA positive post-baseline if they were ADA negative or had missing data at baseline, but developed an ADA response following etrolizumab drug exposure (treatment-induced ADA response), or if they were ADA positive at baseline and the titer of one or more post-baseline samples was at least 0.60 titer units greater than the titer of the baseline sample (treatment-enhanced ADA response). Participants were considered to be ADA negative if they were ADA negative or had missing data at baseline and all post-baseline samples were negative, or if they were ADA positive at baseline but did not have any post-baseline samples with a titer that was at least 0.60 titer unit greater than the titer of the baseline sample (treatment unaffected).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    08 Apr 2014
    Protocol Version 2: The protocol was amended to reflect program level recommendations from the US FDA as follows: -The definition of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) was updated to include stool frequency subscore of ≥1. -Ulcerative Colitis Disease Activity Assessments section was modified to include that: 1) given the potential for increased rectal bleeding following endoscopic procedures, rectal bleeding MCS will be derived prior to endoscopy; 2) post-baseline endoscopy should be performed on the same day as the study visit instead of 4 days prior to the visit; 3) each segment, instead of the worst affected segment, of the colon up to the splenic flexure (rectum, sigmoid, and descending colon) will be assigned an endoscopic subscore and the score from the worst affected segment up to the splenic flexure is to be used for the MCS calculation; 4) any discrepancy between the endoscopic subscore obtained by the local versus central readers will require a third adjudication read by a different central reader.
    23 Jul 2014
    Protocol Version 3: The protocol was amended to simplify the study design and to facilitate early access to open-label etrolizumab to eligible patients as follows: -Administration of adalimumab/adalimumab placebo at Weeks 10 and 12 was removed for all arms (for earlier washout) to facilitate earlier entry into the Open-Label Extension (OLE Part 1) of the OLE-SM (Open-Label Extension-Safety Monitoring) study (Study GA28951). Table “Study Drug Administration Schema” was updated accordingly. -Only patients achieving clinical remission at Week 10 will progress to Weeks 12 and 14 of the study to confirm maintenance of induction. Patients not achieving clinical remission at Week 10 should remain in the blinded study until Week 12 (to enable adalimumab washout) at which time they may enroll in the OLE.
    18 Sep 2015
    Protocol Version 4: The protocol was amended following FDA response to a type C request as follows: -Previously, the FDA had mandated a discontinuation of immunosuppressant therapy after Week 10 because of hypothetical risk of PML, resulting in distinct instructions regarding immunosuppressant use in different countries in the protocol. However, the Sponsor recently received agreement from the FDA to amend the global protocol GA28948 to instruct patients to continue their stable, baseline dose of immunosuppressants to the end of study treatment with dose reduction or discontinuation if patient experiences an immunosuppressant-related toxicity. Consequently the protocol was amended to allow patients to continue with immunosuppressant use from baseline to the end of study treatment (with dose reduction or discontinuation of immunosuppressant use permitted in the event of toxicity) in United States. -Following FDA feedback, inclusion criterion for patients at U.S. sites was amended to allow patients who had had an inadequate response to either immunosuppressants and/or corticosteroids to be eligible for the study rather than the previous requirement for failure to immunosuppressants with or without failure to corticosteroids. These two changes aligned United States with the rest of world regarding immunosuppressant use during the study and eligibility requirements for prior immunosuppressant/corticosteroid usage. Contents that indicated the use of immunosuppressants in the United States had to stop at Week 10 was removed.
    18 Dec 2016
    Protocol Version 5: The protocol was amended to update and align the safety section with information regarding potential risks for etrolizumab in the current Etrolizumab Investigator’s Brochure, Version 10, and to account for a change in adalimumab formulation, as follows: -The protocol was amended to include the use of the new formulation of adalimumab as needed, when supplies of the current formulation (40 mg [0.8mL]) could no longer be procured. The new formulation consisted of 40 mg (0.4 mL) of adalimumab provided in a single-use, 1-mL, glass prefilled syringe with a fixed 29-gauge ½-inch needle. The efficacy, safety, and tolerability profile of the new formulation was comparable to that of the formulation currently in use (40 mg [0.8 mL]). -The protocol was updated and added to include potential hepatic effects to be in line with the safety profile of other anti-integrins, including vedolizumab, for which hepatic adverse events were reported. Although no clear hepatic safety signals emerged to date with etrolizumab, this potential risk was considered to be applicable across the anti-integrin class and would be evaluated in all etrolizumab studies.
    30 Aug 2017
    Protocol Version 6: The protocol was amended to enhance recruitment by reducing the complexity of the protocol, particularly at the time of screening and re-screening, as follows: -The requirement for obtaining Medical Monitor approval for extension of the screening period from 28 to 35 days was eliminated to accommodate logistic delays that might arise during the screening period and decrease site burden associated with placing approval requests. The screening window would not be extended beyond 35 days under any circumstances. -The time qualification for derivation of Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) baseline stool frequency and rectal bleeding subscores was redefined to include subscores obtained within 22 days prior to randomization (Day 1). Post-endoscopy subscores might be used, starting 2 days after the screening endoscopy, but only in cases where there were insufficient e-diary data to calculate these subscores prior to the bowel preparation day.

    Protocol Version 7: The protocol was amended primarily to reflect changes in efficacy endpoints. The changes would not impact study conduct at the site level. These changes are as follows: -To assess the onset of action of etrolizumab, secondary efficacy endpoints of change in Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) rectal bleeding and stool frequency subscores from baseline to Week 6 were added. -The secondary efficacy objective to evaluate colonic mucosal alphaE integrin concentration as a biomarker was expanded and would be evaluated as an exploratory efficacy endpoint to support additional biomarker candidate evaluations in the pivotal placebo-controlled studies within the etrolizumab Phase III Program. -Derivation of the MCS endoscopic subscore at post-baseline timepoints was amended to be consistent with emerging normative standards of endoscopic assessment in clinical trials (Sandborn et al. 2017). The sigmoid colon MCS endoscopic subscore would be used (rather than the score from the worst affected segment, i.e., rectum, sigmoid colon, or descending colon) if the baseline sigmoid colon MCS endoscopic subscore was 2-3. The sigmoid colon MCS endoscopic subscore was considered to be more reliable in assessing earlier treatment response.

    Protocol Version 8: The protocol was amended to provide further clarification and exploratory efficacy objectives was modified as follows: -Evaluation of response at Week 10, in subgroups by baseline expression levels of colonic tissue and/or peripheral blood biomarkers, was added to predict patient subgroups with a greater likelihood of responding to etrolizumab.
