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   44293   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7351   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.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of Part I of the study is to determine the efficacy of BG00012 on inflammatory brain MRI lesion activity (Gd-enhancing lesions) when compared with placebo from 4 scans performed at Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 in subjects with RRMS including subjects from the Asia-Pacific region.

    The primary objective of part II of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety profile of BG00012 in eligible subjects from part 1.

    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The secondary objectives of Part I of this study in this study population are to determine whether BG00012, when compared with placebo over 24 weeks, is effective in:

    1. Reducing the cumulative number of new Gd-enhancing lesions from Baseline (Day 1) to Week 24

    2. Reducing the number of new or newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions on brain MRI scans at Week 24 compared with Baseline (Day 1)

    There are no secondary objectives for part II of the study.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No

    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Part I:

    Primary progressive, secondary progressive, or progressive relapsing MS (as defined by Lublin and Reingold [1996]), with continuous clinical disease worsening over a period of at least 3 months. Subjects may also have superimposed relapses, but are distinguished from RRMS subjects by the lack of clinically stable periods or clinical improvement.

    Diagnosis or history of NMO, eg, a long spinal lesion extending over ≥3 vertebral bodies was detected, or the subject has a history of positive tests for anti-AQP4 antibodies. Subjects whose anti-AQP4 antibody test result from Screening is positive and available prior to enrollment will be excluded from study participation.

    A relapse that has occurred within the 50 days prior to randomization and/or the subject has not stabilized from a previous relapse prior to randomization.
    History of:
    • Malignancy, except subjects with basal cell carcinoma that has been completely excised prior to Screening will remain eligible.
    • Severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions or known drug hypersensitivity.
    • Clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, GI, dermatologic, psychiatric, neurologic (other than MS), and/or other major disease that would preclude participation in a clinical study.
    • Abnormal laboratory results indicative of any significant endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, renal, and/or other major disease that would preclude participation in a clinical study.
    • HIV.
    • Hepatitis C virus antibody or hepatitis B virus, or positive test result at Screening.
    • Drug or alcohol abuse (as defined by the Investigator) within 2 yrs prior to randomization.

    Any of the following abnormal blood tests at Screening:

    • Proteinuria (1+ or greater)
    • Hematuria, without known etiology
    • Glycosuria, without known etiology
    • Note: If a subject has a positive test at Screening and the etiology is known (eg, due to menses or urinary tract infection in the case of hematuria, or due to recent steroid use or elevated serum glucose in the case of glycosuria), a repeat test is not required.

    Prior treatment or procedures with any of the following:
    • BG00012 or fumaric acid esters.
    • Total lymphoid irradiation, Cladribine, T-cell or T-cell receptor vaccination, any therapeutic monoclonal antibody, with the exception of natalizumab.

    • Any significant change in medical history including laboratory tests, cardiovascular risk factors, • or current clinically significant condition that in the opinion of the Investigator would have excluded the subject’s participation in Part I of the study.
    • Subjects from Part I who discontinued study treatment due to an AE or due to reasons other than protocol defined relapse or disability progression.
    • History of malignancy, except subjects with basal cell carcinoma that has been completely excised prior to entry into the Part II Extension Period will remain eligible.
