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   43866   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7287   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.

    Notes
    [1] - Period 1 is not the baseline period. It is expected that period 1 will be the baseline period.
    Justification: Period 1 was an induction phase of the study and all participants received the same treatment. The Maintenance phase (during which the test product was compared to placebo) has been reported as the baseline period to provide more relevant comparative data.

    Notes
    [2] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: 210 participants were enrolled and dosed in the Maintenance phase. The worldwide number includes all participants in the Induction phase (n=359).
    [3] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: Out of the participants that completed the Induction phase, only 210 met all criteria for dosing in the Maintenance phase.

    Number of Participants with at Least One Adverse Event by Severity, According to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.0 (NCI-CTCAE v4.0)
    End point description
    All adverse events (AEs) were graded for severity using the NCI-CTCAE v4.0. Any AE not specifically listed was assessed per the following 5 grades: Grade 1 = mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; or intervention not indicated. Grade 2 = moderate; minimal, local, or non-invasive intervention indicated; or limiting age-appropriate instrumental activities of daily living. Grade 3 = severe or medically significant, but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; or limiting self-care activities of daily living. Grade 4 = life-threatening consequences or urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5 = death related to AE. Not all grades are appropriate for all AEs; some AEs have fewer than 5 options. The terms "severe" and "serious" are not synonymous and are independently assessed for each AE. Multiple occurrences of AEs were counted only once per participant at the highest (worst) grade.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    03 Apr 2014
    The definition of moderate to severe UC was updated to include stool frequency sub-score of ≥1. Further, for MCS/pMCS calculation, the worst rectal bleeding score from the most recent 3 days prior to clinical visit was to be used; Endoscopy procedures for UC disease activity assessment were modified; further, in case of any discrepancy between local versus central endoscopy readers, an adjudication read was to be added; The dosage of etrolizumab to be administered was corrected from 100 mg to 105 mg. The dose of 100 mg was not administered to patients; PML assessment was modified to include the PML Subjective Checklist (symptom assessment) and the PML Objective Checklist (neurologic evaluation). The algorithm for evaluation of PML was updated; Exclusion criteria related to hepatitis C, CMV testing, patient’s cancer history and stenosis and screening assessments related to JCV testing and the timing of endoscopy were revised; and The dosage and administration section was revised to include a 2-week window for delayed administration of study medication due to minor illness.
    08 Jul 2014
    The inclusion criterion regarding contraception use for women was amended to detail the use of spermicide and double barrier (rather than barrier alone) for acceptable methods of contraception during treatment period and for at least 24 weeks after the last dose (reflecting International Conference on Harmonisation (M3) guidance; A new exclusion criterion was added to exclude patients with suspicion of ischemic colitis, radiation colitis, or microscopic colitis; and The exclusion criterion regarding the history of moderate or severe allergic or anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions to chimeric, human, or humanized antibodies, fusion proteins, or murine proteins was updated to include hypersensitivity to etrolizumab (active drug substance) or any of the excipients (L-histidine, L-arginine, succinic acid, Polysorbate 20).
    22 Aug 2014
    Local amendment only (US and Canada).
    28 Aug 2015
    The protocol was amended to remove the previous requirement that immunosuppressant use stop at Week 10 in the U.S. and Canada based on HA feedback. Instead, patients were allowed to continue with immunosuppressant use from baseline throughout induction and maintenance (with dose reduction or discontinuation of immunosuppressant use permitted in the event of toxicity) in the U.S. and Canada; and Inclusion criteria were modified to allow patients with inadequate response to either immunosuppressants or corticosteroids to be eligible for the study (rather than the previous requirement for failure to immunosuppressants with or without failure to corticosteroids).
    24 Aug 2017
    The protocol was amended to update and align the safety section with information regarding potential risks for etrolizumab in the etrolizumab Investigator’s Brochure, Version 10, as follows. Guidelines for managing specific AEs were updated to include hepatic effects as a potential risk for etrolizumab, to be in line with the safety profile of other anti-integrins, including vedolizumab, for which hepatic AEs have been reported; Changes were also made to enhance recruitment by reducing the complexity of the protocol, particularly at the time of screening and re-screening, as follows: The minimum time between the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (UC) and enrollment (Day 1) was reduced from 6 months to 3 months. This allowed patients with a more recent diagnosis of UC to be enrolled; The window for performing the endoscopy prior to Day 1 was extended from 10 to 16 days. The requirement for Medical Monitor approval for endoscopies conducted during this window was eliminated; and 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 Day 1.
    27 Aug 2018
    The protocol was primarily amended to reflect changes in efficacy endpoints. The changes would not impact study conduct at site level. The primary efficacy endpoint was changed to remission at Week 62 for patients who achieved clinical response (rather than remission) at Week 10, to align with clinical practice standards whereby patients who experienced a clinical response during treatment induction continued on treatment and were assessed for remission at a later time point; Secondary and exploratory efficacy endpoints were amended to align with the revision of the primary efficacy endpoint; To assess the onset of action of etrolizumab, a secondary efficacy endpoint of change in MCS rectal bleeding and stool frequency subscores from baseline to Week 6 was added; Histologic remission, defined as a Nancy histological index of ≤1, was added as a secondary efficacy outcome measure. The definition is based on consensus guidelines recommending that histologic remission should be defined by the absence of neutrophils in the crypts and lamina propria; 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; The sigmoid colon MCS endoscopic subscore will 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 is 2-3. The sigmoid colon MCS endoscopic subscore is considered to be more reliable in assessing earlier treatment response; and Histologic activity on colon biopsies would be primarily measured using the Nancy histological index instead of the Geboes scale. Language regarding local injection-site reactions was clarified.
