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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 main objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of ustekinumab, in adult antitumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) refractory subjects with active radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA), as measured by the reduction in signs and symptoms of radiographic AxSpA.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Safety was evaluated based on adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratory tests, vital sign measurements, physical examinations, electrocardiograms (ECGs, screening only), concomitant medication review, injection-site reactions, allergic reactions, infections, and tuberculosis (TB) evaluations. This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with Good Clinical Practices and applicable regulatory requirements.

At Week (W) 16, subjects who met early escape (EE) criteria (less than [<] 10 percent [%] improvement from baseline in both total back pain and morning stiffness measures at both Week 12 and Week 16) were administered open-label golimumab 50 mg SC administrations at Week 16 and every 4 weeks (q4w) thereafter through Week 52. At Week 24 all subjects (with the exception of subjects who qualified for EE) were re-randomized to receive either ustekinumab 45 or 90 mg SC injection at Weeks 24 and 28 followed by every 12 weeks (q12w) dosing, with the last administration of study agent at Week 52.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: Subjects who did not met EE criteria at W16 were crossed over to Ustekinumab 45 and 90 mg at W24.

    		 Percentage of Subjects who Achieved at Least a 50 Percent (%) Improvement From Baseline in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) at Week 24
    End point description
    BASDAI used to measure the AS disease severity. It consists of 6 questions: fatigue, spinal pain, arthralgia (joint pain) or swelling, enthesitis (inflammation of tendons and ligaments), morning stiffness(MS) (2 questions: duration and severity). Each question is an easy to answer 10 cm VAS, with 0 being none,10 being very severe and for last question related to MS duration: 0(0 hours[h]),10(2 or more hours). Order to give 5 symptoms equal weight, mean of 2 questions about MS added to total of remaining 4 scores, final BASDAI score(0-10) is average of overall total score. Higher BASDAI score indicates more severe AS symptom. 50% improvement in response based on imputed data using TF (consider non-responders at and after TF),EE rules(consider non-responder at W20.24),non-responder[NRI] (missing responses at post baseline visit imputed as non-responder). Modified-FAS population was used. Subjects analyzed based on randomized treatment group assigned, regardless of treatment received.

    		 Change From Baseline in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) Total Score at Week 24
    End point description
    BASFI is composed with 10 questions(question is answered with visual analogue scale 0-10 cm assess disease severity, first 8 questions regarding to functional anatomy related activities and 2 questions related to daily activities of AS. Each question is a10cm VAS value between 0 (easy) and 10 (impossible). The final BASFI score is the mean of 10 scores.BASFI score is average of 10 responses, min. value of 0 and max. value 10. Higher BASFI score shows more severe functional limitations due to AS. Missing data were imputed using early escape (consider non-responder at Wk 20,24). Modified-FAS population was used. Subjects analyzed based on randomized treatment group they were assigned to regardless of treatment received. Here 'N' signifies number of Subjects evaluable for this endpoint.

    End point description
    BASDAI used to measure the AS disease severity. It consists of 6 questions: fatigue, spinal pain, arthralgia (joint pain) or swelling, enthesitis (inflammation of tendons and ligaments), morning stiffness(MS) (2 questions: duration and severity). Each question is an easy to answer 10 cm VAS, with 0 being none,10 being very severe and for last question related to MS duration: 0(0 hours[h]),10(2 or more hours). Order to give 5 symptoms equal weight, mean of 2 questions about MS added to total of remaining 4 scores, final BASDAI score(0-10) is average of overall total score. Higher BASDAI score indicates more severe AS symptom. 50% improvement in response based on imputed data using TF (consider non-responders at and after TF),EE rules(consider non-responder at W20.24),non-responder[NRI] (missing responses at post baseline visit imputed as non-responder). Modified-FAS population was used. Subjects analyzed based on randomized treatment group assigned, regardless of treatment received.
