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   44237   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7338   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.

    2. Children to be included must fulfil the new EULAR/PRINTO/PReS classification criteria for childhood systemic PAN (4) as defined by:
    Histopathological evidence of necrotising vasculitis in medium- or small-sized arteries or angiographic abnormality as a mandatory criterion (4); plus one of the following five:
    i. skin involvement
    ii. myalgia or muscle tenderness
    iii. hypertension
    iv. peripheral neuropathy
    v. renal involvement
    3. Newly diagnosed* and with active disease that would normally require treatment with CYC:

    ii. and / or three or more minor PVAS items,
    iii. and/or either of the two additional entry criteria:
    1. Severe systemic inflammation and/or features of macrophage activation syndrome due to PAN where the investigator would routinely use cyclophosphamide
    2. Demonstration of severe angiographic changes consistent with systemic PAN with other compatible clinical features, but not necessarily including the major PVAS items listed above

    4. Written informed consent for study participation obtained from the patient or parents / legal guardian, with assent as appropriate by the patient, depending on the level of understanding.

    Sufficient disease activity for trial entry (see inclusion criteria 3 above) requires at least one major or 3 minor PVAS items as listed below, and/or at least one of the additional criteria listed in the following section.


    Major PVAS items (indicated in bold in the PVAS form):
    Trial entry criteria or major relapse require the recurrence or new appearance of major organ involvement, if they are attributable to active vasculitis:
    1. Severe cutaneous vasculitis: significant infarct, ulcer or gangrene. Other significant cutaneous vasculitis such as widespread bullous vasculitic skin disease would also be an inclusion criterion.
    2. Threatened vision from any of: retinal vasculitis, retinal vessel thrombosis, scleritis, retinal exudates, or retinal haemorrhages.
    3. Major chest involvement: major pulmonary bleeding, with shifting pulmonary infiltrates; other causes of bleeding should be excluded if possible.

Nervous system involvement: meningitis or encephalitis, organic confusion /cognitive dysfunction, non-hypertensive seizures, stroke, cord lesion, cranial nerve palsy, sensory peripheral neuropathy, or motor mononeuritis multiplex. (Imaging of brain/cord providing supportive evidence that these lesions are due to vasculitis are usually present for those items pertaining to the brain or cord).


    Minor PVAS items:
    Minor entry criteria or minor relapse require the recurrence of disease activity of less severity, such as the following, if they are attributable to active vasculitis:
    1. Myalgia, arthralgia, arthritis
    2. Less severe cutaneous vasculitis: polymorphous exanthema; livedo reticularis; panniculitis; purpura; skin nodules; other less severe cutaneous vasculitic phenomena
    3. Mouth ulcers
    4. Non-imminently site threatening eye involvement: episcleritis; blepharitis; conjunctivitis; uveitis

    *Newly diagnosed is defined for the purposes of the trial as a diagnosis of systemic PAN less than 3 months (12 weeks) prior to screening for MYPAN. If the PAN diagnosis was more than 3 months (12 weeks) prior to the date of initial screening, please discuss with the Chief Investigator.

    3.        Recientemente diagnosticados* y con enfermedad activa que normalmente requerirían tratamiento con CYC:
    i.        Uno o más de los ítems mayores de PVAS (mirar más abajo)
    ii.        y / o tres o más de los ítems  de PVAS,
    iii.        y/o alguno de los dos criterios de entrada adicionales:
    1.        Inflamación sistémica severa y/o características de síndrome de activación macrofágica debido a la PAN en los que el investigador usaría de forma rutinaria la ciclofosfamida

    The proportion of patients achieving remission within 6 months, as defined as a PVAS score of zero on two consecutive readings (both within six months of randomisation) more than one month apart, with adherence to the protocolised corticosteroid taper.
    Remisión dentro de seis meses (24 semanas) después de la aleatorización, definida por un marcador PVAS igual a cero en dos evaluaciones consecutivas a una distancia ≥ 1 mes (4 semanas), con adhesión a una reducción de corticoide de acuerdo con el protocolo.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    18 months (72 weeks)* per participant comprising: 3-6 months (12-24 weeks)* induction therapy (MMF or CYC; plus prednisolone for both).
    Followed by 12-15 months (48-60 weeks) azathioprine plus prednisolone for all. Trial ends after 18 months (72 weeks) treatment; an additional follow up visit for 39 of the 40 patients will occur at the date of the last patient last visit to capture as much longer term follow up data as possible
