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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 ).

    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: Baseline characteristics are based on the patients who were randomised after successfully completing the screening period and received at least one of the trial medication.

    Secondary: Absolute change from baseline in the Modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) at Week 52

    Close Top of page
    End point title
    Absolute change from baseline in the Modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) at Week 52
    End point description
    This is the first key secondary endpoint. The modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) is an evaluation of the patient’s skin thickness rated by clinical palpation using a 0 to 3 scale. The scale differentiates between 0 = normal skin, 1 = mild thickness, 2 = moderate thickness, and 3 = severe thickness with inability to pinch the skin into a fold. The palpation is done for each of the 17 surface anatomic areas of the body: face, anterior chest, abdomen, fingers (right and left separately), forearms, upper arms, thighs, lower legs, dorsum of hands and feet. The sum of these individual values is defined as the total skin score. The mRSS has a range from 0 (no thickening) to 51 (severe thickening in all 17 areas). A high score corresponds to worse skin thickness. Least square mean is actually the adjusted mean. Adjusted mean was based on all analysed patients in the model (not only patients with a baseline and measurement at Week 52).

    Absolute change from baseline in Saint George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) total score at Week 52.
    End point description
    This is the second key secondary endoint. The Saint George’s Respiratory Questionnaire measures the health status in patients with chronic airflow limitation. It consists of 2 parts that cover 3 domains: symptoms, activities, and impacts. The symptom domain relates to the effect, frequency and severity of respiratory symptoms. The activity domain relates to activities that cause or are limited by breathlessness. The impact domain evaluates a range of aspects concerned with social functioning and psychological disturbances resulting from airways disease. The scores of these domains range from 0 (no impairment) to 100 (worst possible). The calculated total score summarises the impact of the disease on overall health status. A high score corresponds to worse health. Least square mean is actually the adjusted mean. Adjusted mean was based on all analysed patients in the model (not only patients with a baseline and measurement at Week 52).

    End point description
    The percentage (%) of responder based on Combined Response Index in Systemic Sclerosis (CRISS) at Week 52. This is a composite endpoint, based on the mRSS, FVC percent predicted, HAQ-DI, patient’s global impression of overall health VAS and physician’s global impression of patient’s overall health VAS, as well as the absence of significant worsening of interstitial lung disease, a new scleroderma renal crisis, left ventricular failure or pulmonary arterial hypertension. The CRISS index score represents a probability of improvement and ranges between 0 and 1. This is a 2 stage process to predict probability of improvement: Step 1 – absence of major organ progression (SRC etc.) – score “0” Step 2 – predicted probability of improvement – (score “0 – 1”).

    End point description
    Absolute change from baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) score at Week 52. The HAQ-DI score is calculated as follows: Each question is scored 0–3 (where 0= “without difficulty” & 3= “unable to do”). There are 8 categories (Dressing & Grooming, Arising, Eating, Walking, Hygiene, Reach, Grip, Activities), each including 2 or 3 questions. The score for each category corresponds to maximum question score within each category. Finally, HAQ-DI score corresponds to sum of the sub-scores of all 8 categories divided by number of categories completed. Please note that if there are fewer than 6 categories with responses, then a score cannot be calculated. The HAQ-DI score scale has 25 possible values (i.e., 0, 0.125, 0.250, 0.375 … 3). A high score corresponds to worse impairment. Least square mean is actually the adjusted mean. Adjusted mean is based on all analysed patients in the model (not only patients with a baseline and measurement at week 52).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    02 Mar 2016
    The following main changes in the conduct of the trial were introduced by the amendment: 1) To ensure regular pregnancy testing as requested by health authorities, information was added that women of childbearing potential had to perform a pregnancy test every 4 to 6 weeks. Once intervals between site visits were >6 weeks, home urine dipstick pregnancy tests were centrally provided and had to be performed at home. 2)For Inclusion Criterion No. 5, the reference time point for the historical HRCT, which had to be performed within 12 months, was changed from Visit 2 to Visit 1, as Visit 1 represented the better predictable time point 3) Exclusion Criterion No. 8 was updated to clarify that not only digital ulcers but also severe other ulcers could have led to the exclusion of a patient at the discretion of the investigator 4) Exclusion Criterion No. 12 was updated to clarify that also severe gastrointestinal symptoms due to SSc could have led to the exclusion of a patient 5) Exclusion Criterion No. 25 was added based on advice from regulatory agencies: patients with underlying chronic liver disease (Child Pugh A, B, C hepatic impairment) 6) The restrictions regarding concomitant treatment with corticosteroids were modified. 7) Patients on low dose corticosteroid therapy were eligible for the trial even if the dose of the corticosteroid medication was not stable 8) The description of the method of measuring DLco was harmonised within the CTP, by removal of the adjustments for altitude and carboxyhaemoglobin incorrectly mentioned in one section of the CTP 9) Addition of mycophenolate sodium to clarify that for ‘mycophenolate’ 2 possible salt forms are available.
    26 Jan 2017
    1)For selection of trial population, it was added that recruitment of pts who were on stable dose of mycophenolate or methotrexate background medications could have been restricted, although enrolment was generally competitive 2)Numbers of sites & countries contributing pts worldwide were updated from approximately 170sites to about 230sites & from about 20 to 33 countries 3)Inclusion Criterion No. 4 was revised &requested SSc disease onset (defined by first non-Raynaud symptom) had to occur within 7 years instead of 5 years of Visit 1.This change was introduced to facilitate recruitment into trial, without compromising characterisation of trial population.4)For Exclusion Criterion No.4, reference time point to assess eligibility regarding airway obstruction (pre-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC <0.7) was changed from Visit1 to Visit2 to ensure consistency with all other lung function criteria 5)To Exclusion Criterion No. 18 & restrictions of concomitant trt required washout period of at least 8 weeks before Visit 2 was added for mycophenolate mofetil/sodium or methotrexate 6)In Exclusion Criterion No. 22 tubal occlusion was removed as an example for method of permanent sterilization, since according to Clinical Trial Facilitation Group recommendations (2014),woman who underwent tubal ligation is still to be considered ‘of childbearing potential’ 7)Exclusion Criterion No.26 was added: pts with history of SSc renal crisis 8)For AE collection & reporting it was clarified that independent adjudication committee reviewed all fatal cases for primary causes of death.Data protection measures for committee & adjudication process were clarified too. 9)Absolute change from bl. at wk 52 in CRISS index score was added as secondary endpoint & removed from list of further endpoints; however, TSAP defined to analyse proportion of responders instead of absolute change from bl.10)ATA status & bl. FVC% predicted were included as covariates in analysis of rate of decline in FVC in % predicted.
    15 Feb 2018
    The following main changes in the conduct of the trial were introduced by the amendment: 1) The end of trial for patients on-treatment as well as for patients who prematurely discontinued trial medication and attended visits as planned was clarified. Details regarding the time point of the EOT Visit and requirements for Follow-up Visits were added. 2) The restrictions regarding concomitant treatment were modified. The definition of clinically significant deterioration was extended to other clinical parameters than mRSS and FVC 3) Clarification that based on the half-life of the trial drug, a safety analysis restricted to AEs that occurred between the start of treatment and up to 7 days after the date of the last dose of trial medication were analysed in addition
