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   43846   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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
    The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the long-term safety of BG00012 in subjects who completed Study 109MS202 (NCT02410200). Secondary objectives were to evaluate the long-term efficacy of BG00012 and to describe the long-term Multiple Sclerosis (MS) outcomes in subjects who completed Study 109MS202 (NCT02410200).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Written informed consent was obtained from each subject, prior to evaluations performed for eligibility. Subjects were given adequate time to review the information in the informed consent and were allowed to ask, and have answered, questions concerning all portions of the conduct of the study. Subjects were provided with a copy of the signed and dated informed consent form (ICF).

    Number of Subjects with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [1]
    End point description
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death; in the view of the Investigator, places the subject at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event); requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect; any other medically important event that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may jeopardize the subject or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above.

    Average Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR)
    End point description
    Relapses were defined as new or recurrent neurologic symptoms not associated with fever or infection, lasting at least 24 hours, and accompanied by new objective neurological findings upon examination by the Investigator. New or recurrent neurologic symptoms that evolved gradually over months were considered disability progression, not an acute relapse, and were not treated with steroids. The ARR was calculated as the total number of relapses that occurred during the previous 12 months and during the 120 weeks on treatment for subjects in Study 109MS202 that continued into Study 109MS311, divided by the total number of person-years followed prior to the study and by the total number of person-years followed during the study, respectively.
