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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 demonstrate the efficacy and safety of adalimumab for the maintenance of clinical remission in Japanese subjects with Crohn's disease (CD).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Prior to any study-related screening procedures being performed on the subject, the informed consent statement was reviewed and signed and dated by the subject and/or parent or legal guardian (if the subject was < 20 years old) and the person who administered the informed consent. If clinical trial support staff gave additional explanations, he/she also signed and date the informed consent statement.

    Screening details
    Participants who rolled over into this study received either double-blind (DB) treatment (adalimumab or placebo; responders (decrease in Crohn's Disease Activity Index [CDAI] ≥70 points from lead-in baseline score [CR-70 response] by Week 4 of M14-729) or open-label (OL) treatment (adalimumab; non-responders by Week 4 of M14-729).

    Participants who had CR-70 response at Week 4 of the induction study (study M04-729 [NCT00445939]) were randomized into 1 of 2 treatment groups (DB adalimumab 40 mg every other week or DB adalimumab placebo every other week) using 2 stratification factors - CDAI category (CDAI less than 150 and CDAI 150 or higher) and presence/absence of fistula at Week 0 of this study.

    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: Any Adalimumab includes all subjects who had at least one dose of adalimumab during study M06-837: 32 subjects were randomized to receive OL adalimumab, 25 subjects were randomized to DB adalimumab, and 24 subjects were randomized to receive DB placebo and switched to OL adalimumab (3 subjects discontinued while receiving DB placebo and never received any adalimumab).

    End point description
    IBDQ is a validated disease−specific instrument that assesses the impact of IBD on patient quality of life during a 2−week recall period. It has 32 questions about bowel function and related symptoms, and their social and emotional impact. For each item, participants select 1 of 7 responses. 1=poor quality of life (e.g., feeling of fatigue "all of the time") and 7=good quality (e.g., feeling of fatigue "none of the time"). Scoring range = 32 to 224. Higher scores indicate better quality of life; increases in IBDQ = improved overall quality of life.

    Change in Physical Component of the Short Form-36 Health Survey From Baseline of the Lead-in Study (NCT00445939) to Week 52 of Double-blind Treatment [7]
    End point description
    The Short-Form-36 (SF-36) Health Survey is a comprehensive quality of life scale. An increase in SF-36 score indicates alleviation of the disease and a decrease in score indicates aggravation of disease. The physical component reflects activity level, activity limitations, pain, and rating of one's health. Score on the physical component ranges from 0 (poorest health) to 100 (best health). Modified Full Analysis Set (mFAS), defined as participants who had received adalimumab (not placebo) during the adalimumab induction study and who received at least 1 dose of DB study drug during this study. LOCF used for missing data.

    IBDQ is a validated disease-specific instrument that assesses the impact of IBD on patient quality of life during a 2-week recall period with 32 questions about bowel function and related symptoms & their social/emotional impact. Per item, participants select 1 of 7 responses (1=poor quality of life [e.g., feeling of fatigue "all of the time"]; 7=good quality [e.g., feeling of fatigue "none of the time"]). Scoring range=32 to 224. Higher scores indicate better quality of life; increases in IBDQ=improved overall quality of life. Data is reported as observed cases. No imputation technique was used.
