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   43845   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this prospective open label study is to assess the ability of vedolizumab to promote clinical, endoscopic and histological remission in patients with active ulcerative colitis in an 'early' and a 'late' disease population after 54 weeks of treatment.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Measures of clinical disease activity (including clinical response and remission) over the 1 year study period will be described. The mucosal healing capacity of vedolizumab treatment will be observed by assessing the endoscopic and histopathologic response to treatment over the 1 year study period.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. In the opinion of the investigator, the subject is capable of understanding and complying with
    protocol requirements.
    2. The subject signs and dates a written, informed consent form and any required privacy
    authorization prior to the initiation of any study procedures.
    3. Age 18 to 80.
    4. Male or non-pregnant, non-lactating females. Females of child bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to randomization, and must use a hormonal (oral, implantable or injectable) or barrier method of birth control throughout the study. Females unable to bear children must have documentation of such in the source records (i.e., tubal ligation, hysterectomy, or post-menopausal [defined as a minimum of one year since the last menstrual period]).
    5. Established diagnosis of ulcerative colitis with histopathological confirmation available in the record of the patient.
    6. Moderate to severe active UC (total Mayo score > 6) with objective evidence of inflammation that can be visualized on endoscopy. All endscopies will be video-taped for later review, rereading and quality assurance. Patients must have an endoscopic Mayo score of 2 or 3.
    7. Anti-TNF discontinued for at least 4 weeks before baseline.
    8. Written informed consent must be obtained and documented.

    GROUP 1 (EARLY UC)
    1. Diagnosis of UC < 4 years prior to enrollment confirmed by clinical, endoscopic and histopathological evidence.
    2. Demonstrated failure to respond to aminosalicylates or intolerance to aminosalicylates
    and: failure to respond to topical or systemic corticosteroids or intolerance to corticosteroids
    or: need for 1 course of steroids since diagnosis
    or: steroid dependency at any dose
    and additionally, but not mandatory, lack of efficacy of thiopurines or intolerance to thiopurines (any duration). Patients who are using thiopurines (azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine or 6-thioguanine) at screening must have used them for > 3 months (last 4 weeks at stable dose).

    GROUP 2 (LATE UC)
    1. Diagnosis of UC > 4 years confirmed by clinical, endoscopic and histopathological evidence.
    2. Demonstrated failure to respond to aminosalicylates or intolerance to aminosalicylates
    and: failure to respond to at least 3 months of thiopurines or intolerance to TP
    and: failure to respond to at least 1 anti-TNF or intolerance to anti-TNF or loss of response to at least 1 anti-TNF. Loss of response to anti-TNF is defined as recurrence of symptoms during maintenance dosing following prior clinical benefit.
    May continue stable dose of conventional therapies for IBD incl. aminosalicylates and thiopurines and corticosteroids. Steroids will be tapered by protocol by week 26. Anti-TNF must be discontinued for > 4 weeks before baseline.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Previous exposure to any anti-integrin antibodies including vedolizumab, α4β7 antibodies, β7 antibodies, anti-MADCAM-1.
    2. Contraindication for endoscopy.
    3. History of colonic dysplasia or colonic cancer.
    4. Subjects with a pouch.
    5. Extensive colonic resection, i.e. subtotal or total colectomy with <15 cm colon remaining.
    6. Received other biologics within the last 4 weeks of the baseline visit.
    7. Use of 5-ASA or corticosteroid enemas/suppositories within 2 weeks of enrollment.
    8. Chronic hepatitis B or C infection.
    9. Subjects with ALT or AST 3x the upper limit of normal measured at screening.
    10. Evidence of or treatment for C. difficile infection or other intestinal pathogen at screening within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
    11. Active or latent tuberculosis.
    12. Conditions which in the opinion of the investigator may interfere with the subject’s ability to comply with the study procedures.
    13. Received any investigational drug in the past 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer.
    14. Positive PML subjective symptom checklist before enrollment.
    15. Cancer (other than resected cutaneous basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma that has been treated with no evidence of recurrence). Subject with a history of cancer and a documented 2-year disease free period before screening, may enter the study.
    16. Early UC group: previous exposure to any anti-TNF.
