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   43850   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.

    Pharmacogenomic research Study
    To perform exploratory investigation of pharmacogenomic samples (DNA and RNA) for drug response, mode of action, safety, disease, as well as the potential development of diagnostic tests as appropriate.
    Specific purposes of this study include:
    • Identifying genetic reasons why certain people respond differently to namilumab.
    • Finding out more information about how namilumab works.
    • Generating information needed for research, development, and regulatory approval of tests to predict response to namilumab.

    and
    c) Imaging (US power doppler) evidence of moderate to severe inflammation of at least 1 MCP joint of the dominant hand and/or 1 joint of the dominant wrist at Screening and Baseline Visit.
    A male subject who is nonsterilized* and sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential* agrees to use adequate contraception* from signing of informed consent throughout the duration of the study until the end of the safety follow up (20 weeks after last dose).
    A female subject of childbearing potential* who is sexually active with a nonsterilized* male partner agrees to use routinely adequate contraception* from signing of informed consent throughout the duration of the study until the end of the safety follow up (20 weeks after last dose).
    The subject is receiving current treatment with MTX for RA:
    • Received weekly MTX for at least 3 months prior to the Screening Visit, AND
    • Received treatment with MTX ≥ 15 mg/week but ≤ 25 mg/week at a stable dose via the same route of administration and formulation for at least 8 weeks prior to Baseline Visit, OR
    • A stable dose for at least 8 weeks of MTX of ≥7.5 mg/week is acceptable, if the MTX dose has been reduced for reasons of documented intolerance to MTX.
    The subject is willing to continue or initiate treatment with oral folic acid (at least 5 mg/week) or equivalent and be treated during the entire trial (mandatory comedication for MTX treatment).
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria

    The subject has any major systemic features of RA, for example, Felty’s syndrome, vasculitis, or interstitial fibrosis of the lungs.
    The subject has a history of juvenile idiopathic arthritis or RA onset prior to age 16 years.
    The subject has an underlying condition that predisposes to infections (eg, immunodeficiency, poorly controlled diabetes history, splenectomy).
    The subject has a history of clinically significant interstitial lung disease, for example, history of chronic or recurrent pulmonary infection where macrophages are important for the clearance of the infection, for example, pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP), formerly known as pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, nocardia infections, Actinomyces infection.
    The subject has a positive QuantiFERON-TB Gold test and/or evidence of active or latent TB by chest x-ray at Screening Visit, not accompanied by initiation of an approved regimen of anti-TB therapy at least 12 months prior to the Baseline Visit.
    The subject has a known history of infection with hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or has serological findings at the Screening Visit which indicate active or latent hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV infection.
