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 was to demonstrate that the efficacy of secukinumab monotherapy (300 mg s.c.) at Week 52 is superior to adalimumab monotherapy (40 mg s.c.), based on the proportion of patients achieving an American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR20) response:
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)-90 Response at Week 52
    End point description
    The PASI is a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions. In the PASI system, the body is divided into 4 regions: the head, trunk, upper extremities, and lower extremities. Each of these areas were assessed separately for the percentage of the area involved, which translates to a numeric score that ranges from 0 to 6, and for erythema, induration, and scaling, which are each rated on a scale of 0 to 4. The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72. A higher score indicates more severe disease. A PASI 90 response represents participants who achieved at least a 90 percent improvement from baseline in the PASI score.

    Change from Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire – Disability Index (HAQ-DI score) at Week 52
    End point description
    The HAQ-DI assesses a subject's level of functional ability and includes questions of fine movements of the upper extremity, locomotor activities of the lower extremity, and activities that involve both upper and lower extremities. There are 20 questions in 8 categories of functioning including dressing, rising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and usual activities. The stem of each item asks 'Over the past week, "are you able to..." perform a particular task'. Each item is scored on a 4 point scale from 0 - 3, representing normal, no difficulty (0), some difficulty (1), much difficulty (2) and unable to do (3). The disability index score is calculated as the mean of the available category scores, ranging from 0 to 3. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    24 Jan 2017
    At the time of this amendment, no patients had been randomized into the study. No change to the study population was proposed by this amendment. This protocol amendment was primarily issued for the following reasons: 1) The half-life of adalimumab is reported to be approximately 2 weeks, therefore in the original protocol the safety follow-up was planned to cover 5x the half-life or approximately 10 weeks. Consequently, the safety follow-up visit was scheduled for 10 weeks after the last dose of adalimumab. 2) Exclusion Criteria 2 provided guidelines and examples where local label requirements for contraception use, after the last dose of study treatment, should be followed by women of childbearing potential. Health Authority requests stipulated that the protocol should specify contraception use for 5 months after last dose of adalimumab (see Humira® SmPC 2019).

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
