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 43858 clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which 7284 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.

Main objective of the trial

The primary objective for this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of weekly abatacept in combination with MTX to MTX alone in achieving Remission, defined as SDAI ≤ 3.3, at Week 24.

Protection of trial subjects

The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all International Conference on Harmonization Good Clinical Practice Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were followed.

Simple Disease Activity Index is the numerical sum of five outcome parameters: tender joint count and swollen joint count based on a 28-joint assessment, patient global assessment and physician global assessment assessed on a visual analogue scale scale (range 0 to 10 cm), and C-reactive protein measured in mg/dL. SDAI total score range: 0 to 86. SDAI <= 3.3 indicates disease remission and SDAI >26 = high disease activity.
