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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy in terms of reduction of symptoms of depression and anxiety, as assessed by the change from baseline on a 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS17), and overall safety and tolerability of treatment with adjunctive JNJ-42165279 compared to placebo in subjects with MDD with anxiety symptoms who have had inadequate response to treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or serotonergic/noradrenergic reuptake inhibitor (SNRI).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    • To assess the efficacy of JNJ-42165279 on core symptoms of anxiety (HAM-A6).
    • To assess the efficacy of JNJ-42165279 using dimensional analyses of both anxiety and depression (HDRS17 and SIGH-A).
    • To assess the efficacy of JNJ-42165279 on the response and remission of depressive and anxiety symptoms (derived from HDRS17 and SIGH-A).
    • To assess the plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of JNJ-42165279 administered as once daily (qd) in male and female subjects with MDD with anxious distress using a population PK approach and explore its relationship with efficacy and safety parameters.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Subject must be a man or woman between 18 and 64 years of age,
    inclusive.
    2. Subjects must have a primary DSM-5 diagnosis of MDD with Anxious Distress. Subjects with a diagnosis of comorbid Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety Disorder, or Panic Disorder may be included, if the investigator considers MDD with Anxious Distress to be the primary diagnosis (confirmed by an independent central rater through review of the MINI interview obtained by the site at screening). Subjects must have been treated with an SSRI/SNRI antidepressant approved in this protocol at an adequate dose, as defined by the ATRQ, and for at least 6 continuous weeks, validated by an independent central rater contracted by the sponsor.
    3. A HDRS17 total score ≥ 18 at screening, assessed by a site rater and
    validated through review by an independent central rater contracted by the sponsor; and on Day 1 by site rater.
    4. A HDRS17 anxiety/somatization factor score ≥7at screening, assessed by a site rater and validated through review by an independent central rater contracted by the sponsor; and on Day 1 by site rater
    5. Before randomization, a woman must be either:
    • Not of childbearing potential: postmenopausal (>45 years of age with amenorrhea for at least 12 months, or any age with amenorrhea for at least 6 months and a serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level >40 IU/L); permanently sterilized (e.g., tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy); or otherwise be incapable of pregnancy
    • Of childbearing potential and practicing a highly effective method of
    birth control consistent with local regulations regarding the use of birth control methods for subjects participating in clinical studies (i.e. one that results in a less than 1% per year failure rate when used
    consistently and correctly). This may include:
    o Established and ongoing use of oral hormonal methods of
    contraception in combination with barrier methods.
    o Established and ongoing use of patch, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception.
    o Placement of an IUD or IUS.
    Accepted barrier methods as indicated above include:
    - condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository
    - occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal
    foam/gel/film/cream/suppository
    Note that a barrier method on its own is not sufficient

    o Male partner sterilization (the vasectomized partner should be the sole partner for that subject).
    o True abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual
    lifestyle of the subject).
    Women must agree to continue using these methods of contraception
    throughout the study and for at least 3 months after receiving the last
    dose of study medication.
    Note: If a woman of childbearing potential who is not heterosexually
    active becomes active after the start of the study, she must begin a
    highly effective method of birth control, as described above.
    • All women must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and a
    negative urine pregnancy test on study day 1.
    • All women must agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the
    purposes of assisted reproduction during the study and for at least 3
    months after receiving the last dose of study drug.
    6. Men who are sexually active with a woman of childbearing potential and have not had a vasectomy must agree to use a barrier method of birth control e.g., either condom or partner with occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal
    foam/gel/film/cream/suppository for the duration of the study plus 3
    months after receiving the last dose of study drug, and all men must not donate sperm during the study and for 3 months after receiving the last dose of study drug. In addition, their female partners should also use an additional method of birth control (which may include a hormonal method, an intrauterine device [IUD] or an intrauterine system [IUS]) for at least the same duration.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Any potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be
    excluded from participating in the study unless otherwise specified:
    1. Has any other current major psychiatric condition, including, but not limited to, MDD with psychotic features (lifetime), bipolar disorder (including lifetime diagnosis), obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, borderline personality disorder, eating
    disorder (e.g., bulimia, anorexia nervosa), or schizophrenia.
    The MINI will be conducted by the primary investigator/sub-investigator (either a psychiatrist or Ph.D. psychologist) at Screening to confirm MDD as the primary diagnosis. In addition, an independent rater will confirm that the current depressive episode is valid as well as verifying any comorbid psychiatric conditions validated in
    the MINI. As noted, subjects with a diagnosis of comorbid GAD, Social
    Anxiety Disorder, or Panic Disorder may be included.
    2. Has a length of current major depressive episode (MDE) >6 months.
    3. Has initiated psychotherapy specific for MDD (such as cognitive
    behavioral, behavioral, or interpersonal therapy) for the current episode of depression within 6 weeks prior to screening. Subjects receiving psychotherapy can continue receiving psychotherapy provided this therapy has been stable in frequency for the last 6
    months and will remain unchanged throughout the study treatment.
    4. Has more than 1 failed treatment with antidepressants of adequate
    dose and duration in the current major depressive episode, prior to and not including the inadequate response to the current SSRI/SNRI
    antidepressant
    5. Has a history of resistance to medication treatment of major
    depressive episodes (≥3 lifetime treatment failures with approved
    antidepressants at adequate doses and duration).
    6. Has a current or recent history of clinically significant suicidal ideation within the past 6 months, corresponding to a score of 4 (active suicidal ideation with some intent to act, without specific plan) or 5 (active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent) for ideation on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), or
    a history of suicidal behavior within the past year, as validated by the CSSRS at screening or Day 1. Subjects with a prior suicide attempt, or
    prior serious suicidal ideation/plan ≥ 6 months ago, should be carefully screened for current suicidal ideation and only included at the discretion of the investigator
