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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 assess the distribution of infusion associated reactions (IARs) by severity grade when alemtuzumab is administered to relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) subjects who will be medicated according to a specified algorithm designed to manage IARs.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subjects were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time in language and terms appropriate for the subject and considering the local culture. During the course of the trial, subjects were provided with individual subject cards indicating the nature of the trial the subject is participating, contact details and any information needed in the event of a medical emergency. Collected personal data and human biological samples were processed in compliance with the Sanofi-Aventis Group Personal Data Protection Charter ensuring that the Group abides by the laws governing personal data protection in force in all countries in which it operates.
    Background therapy
    		 The following alemtuzumab-associated medications were to be administered to all study subjects: cetirizine 10 mg tablet or equivalent on Day 0 of both periods and post each infusion; ranitidine or esomeprazole, or equivalents, on Day 0 of both periods and pre- and post each infusion; methylprednisolone 1000 mg tablet on Day 0 of both periods; paracetamol 500 mg tablet or equivalent prior to each infusion; acyclovir 200 mg tablet or equivalent pre- and post each infusion, and daily through Day 30 of both periods; diphenhydramine 25 mg intravenously or equivalent prior to each infusion; methylprednisolone 1000 mg intravenously prior to each infusion (dose reduced after Day 1 and 2 of each period). During and post infusion, subjects could also receive as needed: diphenhydramine or equivalent, paracetamol or equivalent, ondansetron or equivalent, esomeprazole or equivalent, ibuprofen or equivalent (post infusion only).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 The study was conducted at 19 sites in 4 countries from 20 October 2014 to 01 April 2016. A total of 61 subjects were screened, of whom 58 subjects were enrolled in the study. Screen failures were mainly due to the subjects falling under exclusion criteria.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 The study consisted of 2 Periods: Period 1 (30 days) and Period 2 (30 days). Period 2 began 12 months after the start of Period 1. Safety was assessed monthly in interval between Period 1 and 2.

    		 Percentage of Subjects with IARs by Severity Grade [1]
    End point description
    An IAR was defined as any treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) that occurred during or within 24 hours after alemtuzumab infusion. This summary includes events occurring during Period 1 and/or Period 2. Toxicity grade (severity) of adverse events was based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03: Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), Grade 3 (severe), Grade 4 (life-threatening) and Grade 5 (death). Analysis was performed on safety set defined as all enrolled subjects who received at least part of a dose of the investigational medicinal product (IMP) during Period 1 or 2. Only those grade categories, in which at least 1 subject had event, were reported.
