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   43881   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7295   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
    The objective of this extension study is to evaluate the long-term safety of treatment with DE-109 (440 μg) in subjects with non-infectious uveitis of the posterior segment of the eye who have participated in the SAKURA development program.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the study protocols, Good Clinical Practice (GCP) as required by US Food and Drug Administration regulations, International Council on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines, and Santen’s standard operating procedures (SOPs) for clinical investigation. Compliance with these requirements is consistent with the ethical principles that have their origins in the Declaration of Helsinki. The ICF was written in compliance with US Title 21 CFR Part 50, ICH guidelines, and other national regulations as appropriate.The Principal Investigator (PI) or his/her designee discussed the purpose and pertinent details of the study with each subject. The ICF was approved by the governing IRB. Prior to undergoing any study related activity or administration of the study medication, a subject understood, signed, and dated the IRB-approved ICF. The subject’s signature was witnessed by the individual administering informed consent. If the PI administered the informed consent, then the subject’s signature was witnessed by another individual (e.g., member of study site staff). The PI signed and dated the ICF where designated.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    As this was an extension study, the study population was the subjects with non-infectious uveitis of the posterior segment who received clinical benefit from treatment with DE-109 as determined by the investigator.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Subjects who were randomized and received at least two injections of DE-109 during the first 5 months of the SAKURA study and obtained clinical benefit from the study medication, as determined by the Investigator, were eligible for entry in this 12-month extension study.

    Dosage and administration details
    Study drug was administered as an intravitreal injection in the clinic. The Investigator was not required to administer DE-109 at any visit. DE-109 treatments were given as needed, at the discretion of the Investigator and to be administered only by the Investigator; however, DE-109 treatments were not given more frequently than every 60 days. A subject could have received treatment with DE-109 (440 μg) on Day 1 and/or any of the Post-Baseline PRN Treatment Visits based on the Investigator’s standard clinical procedures. DE-109 was not administered at an unscheduled visit.
