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   43691   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7246   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
    The purpose of study was to evaluate whether trough serum infliximab concentrations at the time of loss of clinical response will identify pediatric subjects with IBD who would benefit (regain clinical response) from dose escalation above the currently approved dose (5 mg/kg every 8 weeks [q8wk])
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with Good Clinical Practices and applicable regulatory requirements. Safety evaluations were based upon the type, incidence, and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and adverse events (AEs) of special interest reported throughout the study, and on changes in vital sign measurements, clinical laboratory test results, physical examinations.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: The number of subjects reported in the baseline period are 53 and the worldwide number of enrolled subjects in the trial is also 53.
    [2] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: Only 1 subject was crossed over from Reference group to Dose escalation group instead of all subjects.

    Clinical response: Crohn's disease (CD) subjects with decrease from baseline in PCDAI of greater than or equal to (>=) 15 points with total score of less than or equal to (<=) 30 points. PCDAI included 3 history items (abdominal pain, number of liquid stools, general wellbeing), 5 physical examination items (abdominal examination, perirectal disease, extraintestinal manifestations, weight, height), and 3 laboratory tests (hematocrit, albumin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate). Items are scored on a 3-point scale (0, 5, or 10) except for hematocrit and erythrocyte sedimentation rate which are scored as 0, 2.5 or 5. PCDAI scores can range from 0 to 125 with higher scores indicating more active disease. Data for this endpoint was planned to be analyzed for DE group only.

    		 Change From Baseline in Absolute Stool Frequency at Week 16 and Week 56 in UC Subjects [21]
    End point description
    Change from baseline in Absolute stool frequency at Week 16 and Week 56 in UC subjects were reported. The Mayo score consists of 4 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding [RB], endoscopy findings, and physician's global assessment [PGA]), rated as 0 (normal) to 3 (severe). Total score was calculated as the sum of 4 subscores and values range from 0 to 12 scores, where 3 to 5 = mild; 6 to 10 = moderate; and 11 to 12 = severe; higher scores indicate worsening of the disease. An absolute rectal bleeding subscore of <=1 point was indicative of mild disease. Data for this endpoint was planned to be analyzed for DE group only.

    [21] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: All endpoints were planned to analyze the Dose Escalation arm only and the Reference arm was planned for safety analysis in subjects being treated with labeled dosing of infliximab. Hence, endpoint is not reporting statistical analysis for all the arms.

    End point description
    Correlates of Wong-Baker FACES Scale with Clinical Remission and Response at Week 16 was assessed. The Wong-Baker FACES Pain Scale is a pain scale that combines pictures and numbers to allow pain to be rated by children over the age of 3. The scale shows a series of faces ranging from a happy face at 0, "No hurt" to a crying face at 10 "Hurts worst". Data for this endpoint was planned to be analyzed for DE group only.

    		 Association Between Abdominal Pain PCDAI Sub-Score And the Wong-Baker Faces Scale For CD Subjects [25]
    End point description
    Association between abdominal pain PCDAI subscore and Wong-Baker FACES scale for CD subjects was reported. PCDAI is a validated clinical tool used to assess disease severity in pediatric CD subjects. PCDAI collects data on following disease-related variables: Total number of liquid stools, abdominal pain, general well-being (scored by subject or subject’s legal representative); Extra-intestinal manifestations; Physical examinations of abdominal mass and, perirectal disease; Weight change and height change or, height velocity; and Hematocrit, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and albumin. PCDAI score is calculated as sum of individual component scores and ranges from 0-100 points. Wong-Baker FACES Pain Scale is a pain scale that combines pictures and numbers to allow pain to be rated by children over age of 3. Scale shows a series of faces ranging from a happy face at 0 "No hurt" to a crying face at 10 "Hurts worst". Data for this endpoint was planned to be analyzed for DE group only.

    Safety analysis population included all subjects who received at least 1 infusion of infliximab after enrollment. Reference arm was planned only for safety analysis in subjects being treated with infliximab. 1 subject who had crossed-over from reference group to DE group was counted in both arms and safety is presented accordingly.

    Reporting group description
    		 Subjects received infliximab 5 mg/kg intravenous (IV) infusion every 8 weeks (q8wk) up to 56 weeks with a final safety visit at Week 64. Those who lost clinical response during participation in the study were eligible to cross over to the Dose Escalation Group and receive a total of 56 weeks of therapy with infliximab, which included duration of therapy while in the Reference Group prior to dose escalation.

    Limitations and caveats
    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The reference arm was planned to monitor the safety characteristics for subjects being treated with labeled dosing of infliximab, hence the endpoint results were not reported for the reference group.
