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.

    **Subjects in this study cannot meet the criteria based on the second bullet (since defined radiographic sacroiliitis is an exclusion criterion). In order to meet the imaging criteria for ASAS, subjects must have positive sacroiliitis on MRI based on readings performed by the central imaging vendor. This criterion cannot be based on local MRI evaluation or historical MRIs.
    If a subject has negative sacroiliitis on MRI, then they must have positive HLA-B27 plus 2 SpA features. Conversely, if a subject is HLA-B27 negative, then they must have positive sacroiliitis on MRI and at least 1 SpA feature.
    The SpA features are listed below;
    - Inflammatory back pain;
    - Arthritis;

    7. Active symptoms defined by an ASDAS CRP greater than or equal to 2.1 at the
    screening visit.
    8. Back pain with a less than favorable response to current intake of an NSAID at the optimal tolerated dose as determined by the investigator. Subjects must have experienced less than favorable response to at least 2 NSAIDs (including the current one) taken separately at the optimal tolerated dose with a total combined duration of >4 weeks.
    9. Subject must be taking a stable dose of an NSAID for at least 14 days before the first dose.

    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    The following key secondary endpoint will be estimated:
    -The time to flare following withdrawal of ETN (as measured from treatment withdrawal until ASDAS ESR greater than or equal to 2.1).
    The following secondary endpoints and outcome measures will be estimated within 40 weeks following withdrawal of ETN and during the 12 week re-treatment period (if applicable):
    - Occurrence of ASDAS CRP less than 1.3 (inactive disease);
    - Occurrence of ASAS 20 and ASAS 40;
    - Occurrence of ASAS partial remission;
    - ASDAS;
    - Occurrence of ASDAS major improvement and clinically important improvement;
    - Nocturnal and total back pain;
    - Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) and its components;
    - Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) and its components;
    - Occurrence of BASDAI 50;
    - High sensitivity C Reactive Protein (hsCRP);
    - Health Outcomes Assessments using the following instruments: EuroQoL-5D Health Questionnaire (EQ-5D), SF-36 and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI);
    - MRI SIJ/spine as measured by Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPARCC).
    The following secondary endpoint will be estimated over 12 weeks following re-treatment of patients who flare:
    - Time to ASDAS inactive disease after re-treatment.
    Other endpoints:
    - Subject Assessment of Disease Activity (SADA);
    - Physician Global Assessment (PGA);
    - Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Patient Global Assessment Score (BAS-G);
    - Tender and swollen joint counts (44 count);
    - Dactylitis and enthesitis score (Maastricht Anklyosing Spondylitis Enthesitis Score [MASES]).
    Se determinará, como criterio clave, el siguiente criterio secundario de valoración:
    - tiempo hasta la exacerbación después de la retirada del etanercept (cuantificado desde la retirada del tratamiento hasta la puntuación ASDAS VSG ?2,1).
    Se determinarán los criterios secundarios siguientes en las 40 semanas posteriores a la retirada del etanercept y durante las 12 semanas de reinicio del tratamiento (si procede):
    - incidencia de ASDAS PCR <1,3 (inactividad de la enfermedad);
    - incidencia de ASAS 20 y ASAS 40;
    - incidencia de remisión parcial según la ASAS;
    - ASDAS;
    - incidencia de mejoría importante y mejoría de relevancia clínica según la ASDAS;
    - dolor de espalda nocturno y total;
    - índice funcional de Bath de la espondilitis anquilosante (BASFI) y sus componentes;
    - índice de Bath de la actividad de la espondilitis anquilosante (BASDAI) y sus componentes;
    - incidencia de BASDAI 50;
    - proteína C reactiva de alta sensibilidad (PCRas);
    - resultados sanitarios con los instrumentos siguientes: cuestionario de salud EuroQoL de 5 dimensiones (EQ-5D), SF-36 y cuestionario sobre el deterioro de la actividad y la productividad laboral (WPAI);
    - RM de la columna y de la ASI, evaluada según los criterios del Consorcio de Investigación de la Espondiloartritis de Canadá (SPARCC).
    El siguiente criterio secundario se determinará en las 12 semanas posteriores al reinicio del tratamiento de los pacientes que presenten una exacerbación:
    - tiempo hasta la inactividad de la enfermedad según la ASDAS después de reiniciar el tratamiento.
    Otros criterios de valoración:
    - evaluación del paciente de la actividad de la enfermedad (SADA);
    - valoración global del médico (PGA);
    - puntuación global del paciente de la espondilitis anquilosante de Bath (BAS-G);
    - número de articulaciones doloridas y tumefactas (sobre 44);
    - dactilitis y entesitis (índice MASES: puntuación de Maastricht de la entesitis en la espondilitis anquilosante).

    E.8.8 Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
    End of trial in a Member State of the European Union is defined as the time at which it is deemed that a sufficient number of subjects have been recruited and completed the study as stated in the regulatory application (ie, clinical trial application [CTA]) and ethics application in the Member State.
    El final del estudio en un Estado miembro de la Unión Europea se define como el momento en el que se considera que el número de pacientes que han sido incluidos y han completado, es suficiente, según conste en la solicitud presentada a las autoridades y CEIC de dicho Estado miembro. Un reclutamiento insuficiente en un Estado miembro no es motivo de finalización anticipada, sino que se considera la conclusión normal del estudio en ese Estado miembro.
