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   43861   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Part 2: To determine if injection with adalimumab is superior to placebo injection of normal saline in controlling disease progression in participants with early Dupuytren’s disease.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with local regulatory requirements, International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines, and the ethical principles described in the current revision (2002) of Declaration of Helsinki.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Recruitment to RIDD was opened in December 2016, and the first participant was recruited in February 2017. 181 participants from the UK and NL were randomised over the period of 26 months. After excluding 8 randomisation that were in error, 173 (140 in the UK, 33 in NL) were included in the trial.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 284 participants were screened for the RIDD trial out of these 284, 147 were randomised and 137 were ineligible. Participants were ineligible for the following reasons: o Not eligible (n = 112) (of which 8 failed safety screening) o Declined to participate (n = 20) o Not included due to end of recruitment (n = 5)

    Blinding implementation details
    A non-blinded member of the research team, who was not involved in administering the IMP or assessing the participant, prepared the adalimumab or normal saline in a syringe according to the randomisation, and labelled the syringes with the participant’s ID. The label did not reveal the identity of the IMP. Both the IMP and placebo have a similar viscosity and appearance so that the two treatments, adalimumab or saline, were indistinguishable.

    Frequency threshold for reporting non-serious adverse events: 0%
    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: No related SAEs were reported in the trial. One unrelated SAE (pericarditis [recorded as “chest infection”], saline arm, UK) was reported during the follow-up. No related grade 3+ AEs were reported during the follow-up for this trial.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? Yes
    Date
    Interruption
    Restart date
    23 Mar 2020
    COVID -19 pandemic caused the 18 month follow up for 76 participants to be delayed. Participants were sent the questionnaires to complete through the post and the follow up Case Report Forms were completed over the telephone meaning that that physical measures could not be taken. When lockdown restrictions were lifted the participants were invited back to the clinic to have physical measures taken and they complete the questionnaires once more.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Data from the UK and NL could not be combined for analysis - different durometers were used. The NL data showed similar trends to those for the UK participants, but the small number of NL participants and missing data precluded statistical analyses.
