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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    To evaluate safety and tolerability of canakinumab in Canadian patients with CAPS defined as: • Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome (FCAS)/ Familial Cold Urticaria (FCU); • Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS); • Neonatal-Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID)/ Chronic Infantile Neurological, Cutaneous, Articular Syndrome (CINCA). To assess the maintenance of response over time under routine medical care in patients with the following CAPS related diseases: FCAS/FCU, MWS, NOMID/CINCA.
    Protection of trial subjects
    In order to avoid relapse, rescue medication with canakinumab was allowed during the course of the study with the stipulation that once a patient received this medication, telephone contact with the patient was necessary to determine if there was a response to treatment. In addition, investigators advised Novartis of the occurrence of such events so that investigational drug stocks could be replenished. Some patients may have required rescue medication for a brief period of time. In this case, patients returned to their previous dosing regimen if the reason for rescue medication had subsided, based on the Investigator’s judgment.

    Evaluation of health-related quality of life and productivity assessed using the medical outcome short form (36) health survey (SF-36®)
    End point description
    Each patient completed the SF-36 scale (Physical Functioning (PF), Role Physical (RP), Bodily Pain (BP), General Health (GH) Vitality (VT), Social Functioning(SF), Role Emotional (RE) and Mental Health (MH)) and Physical Component (PCS) and Mental Component (MCS) summary scores was computed and plotted using the norm-based scoring. The SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. The lower the score the more disability. The higher the score the less disability.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    23 Feb 2011
    The main purpose of this amendment was to clarify information related to rescue medication, concomitant therapy and efficacy and safety assessment sections of the clinical study protocol. The rescue medication section was updated to provide more clarity regarding alternative dosing for patients experiencing insufficient symptomatic relief. A correction was required regarding the washout time frame for Anakinra; the protocol was amended to be more in line with washout time frames currently prescribed in other Novartis protocols evaluating similar indications. The efficacy assessment section was modified in order to reflect study operational changes. The self-injection and health utilization patient questionnaires were removed from the study protocol as patients were not required to self inject and information initially planned to be collected using the health utilization questionnaire was already being collected via the other patient reported outcomes. No safety assessments were added to the protocol; however more detailed wording was provided in the safety section to clarify the procedures. The sample size was reduced in line with more realistic estimates; since there was no formal statistical hypothesis the reduction of sample size does not alter the trial objectives or planned analysis. Timelines, typographical errors and minor inconsistencies were corrected.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
