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   44207   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7332   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.

    End point description
    Participants were defined as responders as follows using SLEDAI-2K definitions of arthritis and rash. If only arthritis is present at baseline, then arthritis must be absent at Week 24 to meet the primary endpoint. If only rash is present at baseline, then rash must be absent at Week 24 to meet the primary endpoint. If both arthritis and rash are present at baseline, then the primary endpoint is met if either arthritis, or rash, or both arthritis and rash are absent at Week 24. Analysis Population Description: All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug with baseline and post-baseline values at the specified time point for remission of arthritis and/or rash.

    End point description
    SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score is a weighted, cumulative index of lupus disease activity. SLEDAI-2K is calculated from 24 individual descriptors across 9 organ systems; 0 indicates inactive disease and the maximum theoretical score is 105. Least Squares (LS) mean was determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model with baseline of response, region, baseline disease activity (SLEDAI-2K <10, >=10), baseline anti-dsDNA status (positive, negative), treatment, time, treatment*time (type III sum of squares). Analysis Population Description: All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug with baseline and post-baseline values at the specified time point for SLEDAI-2K.

    End point description
    The Patient’s Global Assessment of Disease Activity is a single-item, patient reported scale developed for the assessment of the patient’s overall rating of their disease activity due to SLE. The scale measures disease activity through a 5 point Likert scale ranging from 0 (“No disease activity”) to 4 (“Severe disease activity”) at its worst over the past 7 days. LS mean was determined by MMRM model with baseline of response, region, baseline disease activity (SLEDAI-2K <10, >=10), baseline anti-dsDNA status (positive, negative), treatment, time, treatment*time (type III sum of squares). Analysis Population Description: All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug with baseline and post-baseline values at the specified time point for Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity.

    Population Pharmacokinetics (PK): Maximum Observed Drug Concentration at Steady State (Cmax,ss) [2]
    End point description
    Plasma samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis were obtained in week 0, week 4, week 8, week 16 and 24. Cmax takes all time points post dose into account and one value is reported. Analysis Population Description: All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had evaluable PK (pharmacokinetics) data.
    End point type
    Secondary
    End point timeframe
    Week (Wk) 0: 15-30 minutes (min) postdose; Wk 4: Predose, 1.5 - 4 hour (hr) postdose; Wk 8: 1 - 3 hr postdose; Wk 16: Predose.
    Notes
    [2] - 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: No arm comparison analyses were planned or conducted.
