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   43846   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the efficacy and safety of different dose regimens of ALX-0061 administered subcutaneously (s.c.) to subjects with moderate to severe active, seropositive systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) compared to placebo.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only subjects who met all the study inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria were to be randomized to study treatment. All subjects were free to withdraw from the clinical study at any time for any reason. Close monitoring of all subjects was to be adhered to throughout the study.
    Background therapy
    Standard of care therapy for SLE. The dose of oral corticosteroids (equivalent to ≤25 mg of prednisone/day) was to be stable for at least 4 weeks prior to baseline. If the subject had started immunosuppressants prior to first dosing and was still taking this medication at baseline: azathioprine (maximum 150 mg/day), mycophenolate mofetil (maximum 2.0 g/day), methotrexate (MTX) (maximum 25 mg/week), cyclosporine (maximum 200 mg/day), leflunomide (maximum 20 mg/day), treatment duration had to be at least 12 weeks with a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to baseline; either alone or in combination with corticosteroids and/or hydroxychloroquine.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 312 subjects was randomized at 91 sites located in Europe (37 sites; 155 subjects), Asia-Pacific (19 sites, 53 subjects), North America (21 sites; 52 subjects), and Latin America (14 sites, 52 subjects). Consent was obtained from the first subject on 02 July 2015; the last subject completed the final visit on 25 January 2018.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Of the 568 subjects screened, 256 were screen failures and 312 were randomly assigned to treatment (modified Intent-to-treat [mITT] population). All subjects received study drug and were included in the safety population. Overall, 254 subjects were included in the Per Protocol (PP) population.

    Blinding implementation details
    Study drug treatment allocation was double blind. As the highest dose of vobarilizumab (ALX-0061 225 mg q2w) exceeded the volume that could be administered in a single injection, subjects in the other 4 treatment groups were also administered 2 injections with 1 or both syringes containing placebo, depending on the assigned treatment group to maintain the blind. Blinding was maintained until the last subject enrolled completed the final evaluations and the database was locked.

    Percentage of subjects who achieved a response at Week 24 according to the modified British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG)-based Composite Lupus Assessment (mBICLA) score
    End point description
    The primary endpoint was evaluated by determining if there was a dose-response relationship between the mBICLA response rate at Week 24 and the dose administered, using the MCP-Mod methodology. The existence of several candidate parametric models was assumed and multiple comparison techniques were used to choose the model(s) most likely to represent the true underlying dose-response curve. The selected model could further be used to guide the choice of adequate doses. mBICLA responders were defined as subjects who met all of the following criteria: 1. BILAG-2004 normal improvement: all A scores at Baseline improved to B, C or D, and all B scores improved to C or D. 2. No worsening in disease activity: no new BILAG-2004 A scores and ≤ 1 new increase to B. 3. No worsening of total mSLEDAI-2K score from Baseline. 4. No significant deterioration (< 10% worsening from Baseline) in PGA. 5. No treatment failure (including the premature discontinuation from study treatment).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    07 May 2015
    Protocol Version 2 The changes are summarized as follows: • Inclusion criterion 1 was updated to take into account differences in the definition of adult age between countries and regions. • Exclusion criterion 1 was updated to clarify which assessment result (screening) was to be considered for eligibility. • Wording regarding the terms background and rescue medication was changed to clarify that these referred to the standard of care medication as per local practice or a change of this medication. • A discontinuation criterion was updated to clarify that discontinuation of study drug administration was to be considered in cases where subjects experienced renal or CNS flare. • The schedule of assessments was updated to clarify that CLASI and exploratory biomarkers were also to be assessed at the time of early termination. • The assessment of ESR was removed from the protocol for the following reasons: 1) This was not an essential parameter needed for the planned analysis, 2) Other parameters (CRP, fibrinogen) that reflected the inflammation status of the subject were measured, and 3) Unblinding of the treatment when ESR was locally assessed and reported by study staff could be avoided. • For pregnancy testing, it was clarified that if local regulations required more frequent pregnancy testing, this was to be applied. • The wording on laboratory re-tests was updated to differentiate between re-test at screening and re-tests during the study. • The statement “SUSARs that are already present in the European Medicines Agency EudraVigilance database do not have to be once again reported to the Competent Authority because they have direct access to the EudraVigilance database” was deleted, as it only applied in European countries and this study was also conducted in non-EU countries. • The text in the section regarding follow-up of AEs was updated to clarify that all AEs were to be followed until satisfactory outcome.
    03 May 2016
    Protocol Version 3 The main changes are summarized as follows: • Inclusion criterion 2 was clarified to reflect that the diagnosis of SLE should have occurred at least 6 months prior to screening and that at screening the ACR and/or SLICC criteria needed to be fulfilled. • The dose of the allowed medication mycophenolate mofetil was updated from a maximum of 1.5 g/d to 2.0 g/d to allow the inclusion of subjects who were receiving the usual dose for SLE patients. The units of MTX and cyclosporine dosing regimens were corrected or further specified. • Wording was updated to specify that exclusion criterion 1: an A score on the revised BILAG-2004, not only applied to the screening assessment but also at baseline for the organ systems that could have been clinically assessed at that time point. Exclusion criterion 3 was updated to clarify that subjects with clinically non-significant infections could have been enrolled in the study, and exclusion criterion 7 was updated for clarification purposes. • The description of the analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint was expanded to specify that only subjects who discontinued before Week 24 were to be treated as non-responders for this endpoint at this time point. • Wording was added to clarify that after Week 24, the dose of NSAIDs could have been adjusted based on the Investigator’s discretion. • Wording was added to clarify that the Investigator may decide to interrupt study drug treatment for 1 dose according to his/her medical judgment because of an AE. • The laboratory parameter CPK was added to the list of biochemistry parameters being analyzed, and creatinine was added to the list of urinalysis parameters. Wording was added to accurately reflect what was to be tested when screening for hepatitis and to clarify that additional pregnancy testing could have been done. Clarifications were added to statements regarding the follow-up of unexplained or unexpected clinical laboratory tests.
