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   44311   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7356   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 changes of the visual system in relapsed remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients treated with dimethyl fumarate assessed by retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) over 36 months.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to evaluations performed for eligibility. Subjects were given adequate time to review the information in the informed consent and were allowed to ask, and have answered, questions concerning all portions of the conduct of the study. Subjects were provided with a copy of the signed and dated informed consent form (ICF).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Subjects were recruited from 5 sites in Germany. All subjects who signed the informed consent form and who were initially considered for study participation must have been clinically stable on 240 mg dimethyl fumarate (DMF) twice daily for at least 4 and up to 20 weeks prior to the screening visit.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Subjects were screened for enrollment over 28 days. All screened subjects were exposed to dimethyl fumarate (DMF) for at least one day (at screening) during the study. Subjects deemed screening failures were exposed to DMF for one day (at screening) except for one subject that was on DMF for 86 days and was retrospectively deemed screening failure.

    Notes
    [1] - 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: Not all subjects who signed an informed consent form and who were screened for eligibility contributed data to the baseline characteristics and study endpoints.

    Change from baseline in mean global thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer as measured by optical coherence tomography at a circle diameter of 3.5 millimeters [1]
    End point description
    Changes in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness were measured for both eyes at baseline and at the end of the study by using Heidelberg spectral domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT). The mean duration between baseline and end-of-study assessments was 21.8±10.5 weeks (median: 17.5 weeks [range: 12.7; 46.3 weeks]). OCT scans were performed at circle diameters of 3.5 mm, 4.1 mm, and 4.7 mm. Thickness was measured globally, for the papillo macular bundle, and for the nasal, nasal/inferior, temporal/inferior, temporal, temporal/superior, and nasal/superior quadrants. In addition, the nasal/temporal ratio was calculated. A negative change from baseline indicates that retinal thickness decreased. This outcome assessed the Full Analysis Set, defined as all enrolled patients who were successfully screened (i.e. met all eligibility criteria) and who had post-baseline measurements available.

    Change from baseline in mean global thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer in the right eye as measured by optical coherence tomography at a circle diameter of 4.1 millimeters [11]
    End point description
    Changes in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness were measured for both eyes at baseline and at the end of the study by using Heidelberg spectral domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT). The mean duration between baseline and end-of-study assessments was 21.8±10.5 weeks (median: 17.5 weeks [range: 12.7; 46.3 weeks]). OCT scans were performed at circle diameters of 3.5 mm, 4.1 mm, and 4.7 mm. Thickness was measured globally, for the papillo macular bundle, and for the nasal, nasal/inferior, temporal/inferior, temporal, temporal/superior, and nasal/superior quadrants. In addition, the nasal/temporal ratio was calculated. A negative change from baseline indicates that retinal thickness decreased. This outcome assessed the Full Analysis Set, defined as all enrolled patients who were successfully screened (i.e. met all eligibility criteria) and who had post-baseline measurements available.

    Changes in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness were measured for both eyes at baseline and at the end of the study by using Heidelberg spectral domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT). The mean duration between baseline and end-of-study assessments was 21.8±10.5 weeks (median: 17.5 weeks [range: 12.7; 46.3 weeks]).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    16 May 2014
    The amendment included the following main changes: Protocol amendment to further define and specify the objectives and parameters of the clinical trial. The description of statistical analysis was edited. The exclusion criteria as well as study stopping rules were amended, the specifications for pregnancy testing were enhanced and some inconsistencies within the protocol were clarified.
    07 Jul 2015
    The amendment was triggered by the Ethic Committee review and included the following changes of the protocol: study title, the primary outcome, primary endpoint, exclusion criteria, primary contact point, and optical coherence tomography section.
    10 May 2016
    The amendment included the following changes of the protocol: primary contact point, lymphocyte monitoring, adding PLM information to the profile of previous experience, exclusion criteria, discontinuation of the Study treatment, and pregnancy section.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
