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

    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The secondary objectives of the study are as follows:
    - To compare the convenience perception as measured by the convenience scale within the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9) in patients treated with subcutaneous (SC) injection of Copaxone 40 mg/mL TIW vs. Copaxone 20 mg/mL QD over 6 months of treatment
    - To compare symptomatic changes as determined by the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life Inventory (MSQLI) subscales Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) and Mental Health Inventory (MHI) in patients treated with SC injection of Copaxone 40 mg/mL TIW vs. Copaxone 20 mg/mL QD over 6 months of treatment
    - To compare patient’s depressive symptoms as measured by Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) scale in patients treated with SC injection of Copaxone 40 mg/mL TIW vs. Copaxone 20 mg/mL QD over 6 months of treatment

    The exploratory and other objectives of the study are detailed in the study protocol.

    - To compare throughout the study, the cytokine profile induced in the Copaxone 40 mg/mL TIW group as compared to baseline.
    - To compare throughout the study, the distribution of T and B cells subpopulations as measured by flow cytometry in the Copaxone 40 mg/mL TIW group as compared to baseline.
    - To compare throughout the study, the levels of neurotrophic and gliotrophic factors (platelet-derived growth factor [PDGF], nerve growth factor [NGF], brain-derived neurotrophic factor [BDNF], and epidermal growth factor core domain peptide of neuregulin-1 [eNRG1]) in the Copaxone 40 mg/mL TIW group as compared to baseline.
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Patients may be included in the study only if they meet all of the following criteria:
    a. Men or women at least 18 years of age or older
    b. Patients must have a confirmed and documented RRMS diagnosis, as defined by the Revised
    McDonald criteria (Polman et al 2011).
    c. Patients must be ambulatory with a Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of 0 to 5.5 at Screening visit.

Highly effective methods of birth control are defined as those, alone or in combination, that result in a low failure rate (ie, less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly. Highly effective methods of birth control in this study include: combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) or progestogen‑only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation, intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone‑releasing system, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner, and sexual abstinence.
    f. Patients must be able to sign and date a written informed consent prior to entering the study.
    g. Patients must be willing and able to comply with the protocol requirements for the duration of the study.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria

    criteria:
    a. Patient had any contraindication to Copaxone therapy.
    b. Previous use of Copaxone 40 mg/mL TIW.
    c. Patients with progressive forms of MS.
    d. Patients with neuromyelitis optica.
    e. Use of experimental or investigational drugs, and/or participation in drug clinical studies within the 6 months prior to screening.
    f. Patients who have been treated with:
    - immunosuppressive medications such as azathioprine or methotrexate within 6 months prior
    to the first visit
    - immunoglobulins and/or monoclonal antibodies (including natalizumab) within at least
    3 months prior to inclusion
    - alemtuzumab, cladribine, cyclophosphamide or mitoxantrone at any time
    g. Chronic (more than 30 consecutive days) systemic (IV, PO or IM) corticosteroid treatment within 6 months prior to screening visit.
    h. Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
    i. Clinically significant or unstable medical or surgical condition that would preclude safe and complete study participation
    j. Employees of the clinical study site or any other individuals involved with the conduct of the study, or immediate family members of such individuals
