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   43857   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Clinical Trial Results:
    A phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-center study of subcutaneous secukinumab (150 mg and 300 mg) in prefilled syringe to demonstrate efficacy (including inhibition of structural damage), safety, and tolerability up to 2 years in subjects with active psoriatic arthritis (FUTURE 5)

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective was to demonstrate that the efficacy of secukinumab 150 mg sc (with or without loading regimen), or 300 mg sc with loading regimen, at Week 16 is superior to placebo based on proportion of patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) achieving American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR20) response.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    Change from baseline to Week 24 with secukinumab compared with placebo for joint/bone structural damage (using van der Heijde modified total Sharp score (mTSS))
    End point description
    PsA modified vdH-mTSS scoring method was used to assess bone erosion & joint space narrowing (JSN) in hands & feet; that included the 2nd through 5th distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints of each hand. Maximum score for erosions was 5 in joints of the hands and 10 in joints of the feet with 0=no erosions, 1=discrete erosion, 2=large erosion not passing the mid-line, and 3=large erosion passing the mid-line. JSN is: 0=normal, 1=asymmetrical or minimal narrowing up to a maximum of 25%, 2 = definite narrowing with loss of up to 50% of the normal space, 3 = definite narrowing with loss of 50–99% of the normal space, and 4 = absence of a joint space. Maximum erosion score is 320 (200 for the hands and 120 for the feet), and the max total JSN score is 208 (160 for the hands and 48 for the feet). Total radiographic score (hands & feet combined) ranges from 0 to 528, where higher scores indicate more articular damage

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    14 Feb 2018
    After a full review of the data, it was confirmed that nineteen patients were impacted by the mapping error, of which, only 10 (1.1%) of the evaluable 936 patients met the criteria of inclusion in the analysis by having both a baseline and post-baseline X-ray. The remaining 9 patients had only baseline X-rays and thus were not included in the radiographic treatment comparison analyses. All possible preventive actions to ensure that this situation will not occur in the future have been taken up with the external radiographic vendor. The purpose of this addendum is to evaluate the effect of using radiographic data from reread X-ray assessments compared to the data from the first read X-rays in patients with inter-reader difference of vdH-mTSS > 8 points between the 2 blinded independent readers. This new analysis was performed after an export mapping error of the 2 sets of X-ray assessments by the external radiographic vendor was identified after Week 24 interim analysis.
