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
    The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Sativex (tetrahydrocannabinol [THC]:cannabidiol [CBD] oromucosal spray) as add-on therapy compared to further optimized standard antispastic therapy with oral baclofen and/or tizanidine and/or dantrolene (mono- or combination therapy) in subjects with moderate to severe spasticity due to multiple sclerosis (MS) who have not gained adequate relief through 2 optimized standard antispastic drugs.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was performed in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki that are consistent with International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH)/Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and applicable regulatory requirements.

    Change From Phase B Baseline in the Barthel Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Index After 4, 8 and 12 Weeks of Treatment
    End point description
    The Barthel ADL index analysed the subject´s abilities to perform daily living activities quantitatively. The short form of Barthel ADL index was used in this study, which included 10 elements with a maximum total score of 20. Two elements (grooming and bathing) were on a scale of 0 to 1; 6 elements (bowels, bladder, toilet use, feeding, dressing, and stairs) were on a 0 to 2; and 2 elements (mobility and transfer) were on a scale of 0 to 3. Total possible scores range from 0 to 20, with lower scores indicating increased disability.

    Percentage of Subjects who Achieve the Minimum Clinically Important Difference (MCID) Improvement From Phase B Baseline in Barthel Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Index After 4, 8 and 12 Weeks of Treatment
    End point description
    The Barthel ADL index analysed the subject´s abilities to perform activities of daily living quantitatively. The short form was used in this study, which included 10 elements with a maximum total score of 20. Two elements (grooming and bathing) were on a scale of 0 to 1; 6 elements (bowels, bladder, toilet use, feeding, dressing, and stairs) were on a 0 to 2; and 2 elements (mobility and transfer) were on a scale of 0 to 3. Total possible scores range from 0 to 20, with lower scores indicating increased disability. The MCID of the Barthel ADL index is 1.85 points.

    End point title
    Change From Phase B Baseline in Short Form 36 (SF-36) Scores After 4, 8 and 12 Weeks of Treatment
    End point description
    The SF-36 differentiates between physical and mental health and consists of 8 different dimensions (physical functioning, vitality, bodily pain, general health perceptions, physical role functioning, emotional role functioning, social role functioning, mental health) and is validated for bodily pain and physical function. The SF-36 scores for each dimension could range between 0 and 100. Higher score indicates better functional health and well being.

    Percentage of Subjects With an Minimum Clinically Important Difference (MCID) Improvement From Phase B Baseline in Short Form 36 Quality of Life (SF-36 Qol) Scale Scores After 4, 8 and 12 Weeks of Treatment in Phase B
    End point description
    The SF-36 differentiates between physical and mental health and consists of 8 different dimensions (physical functioning, vitality, bodily pain, general health perceptions, physical role functioning, emotional role functioning, social role functioning, mental health) and is validated for bodily pain and physical function. The SF-36 scores for each dimension could range between 0 and 100. Higher score indicates better functional health and well being.

    Reporting group title
    Phase A: Sativex
    Reporting group description
    Subjects received up-titrated Sativex up to 12 sprays per day for 4 weeks as add-on to their optimized standard antispastic medication (oral baclofen and/or tizanidine and/or dantrolene) until they achieved optimized symptom relief and maintained this optimal dose. At least a 15-minute gap was maintained between sprays.

    Reporting group title
    Phase B: Sativex
    Reporting group description
    Subjects who were initial responders and whose Phase A-improvement in MS spasticity NRS score had been reduced by at least 80% during the washout phase received up-titrated Sativex to the dose identified during Phase A as being their optimal dose (up to 12 sprays per day) for 12 weeks as add-on to their optimized standard antispastic medication until they achieved optimized symptom relief and maintained this optimal dose. At least a 15-minute gap was maintained between sprays.

    Reporting group title
    Phase B: Placebo
    Reporting group description
    Subjects who were initial responders and whose Phase A-improvement in MS spasticity NRS score had been reduced by at least 80% during the washout phase received matched placebo for 12 weeks as addon to their optimized standard antispastic medication until they achieved optimized symptom relief and maintained this optimal dose. At least a 15-minute gap was maintained between sprays.

    Reporting group title
    Phase A: Sativex Washout
    Reporting group description
    Subjects who qualified as Sativex initial responders received their underlying optimized standard antispastic medication (oral baclofen and/or tizanidine and/or dantrolene) but not Sativex up to 4 weeks, until the subject’s Phase A-gain in MS spasticity NRS score had been reduced by at least 80%.
