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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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 the study was to demonstrate that the efficacy of secukinumab 150 mg subcutaneous (s.c.) injection (with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) tapering) is superior to placebo based on the proportion of patients achieving an Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) 20 response at Week 12. To show superiority, both secukinumab treatment arms were pooled and compared against placebo.
    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.

    End point description
    ASAS (Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society criteria) 20 response is defined as an improvement from baseline of ≥20% and ≥1 unit on a scale of 0-10 in at least three of the four ASAS main domains and no worsening of ≥20% and ≥1 unit on a scale of 0-10 in the remaining domain. The four main ASAS domains are: Patient's global assessment of disease activity, back pain, function represented by ability to perform specific tasks (from Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index [BASDAI]) and inflammation represented by mean duration and severity of morning stiffness. Non-responder imputation was applied for missing data.

    Notes
    [1] - 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: For the analysis of the primary endpoint both secukinumab treatment arms were pooled and compared against placebo.

    Mean change from baseline in ASAS-NSAID score at Week 12
    End point description
    ASAS-NSAID score is used to present the NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) intake by considering the type of NSAID, the total dose and the number of days taking NSAID during a period of interest (PI). For the NSAID equivalence scoring system, "no NSAID intake" was set to a score value of 0, and the reference dose of 150 mg/day diclofenac was set to a score value of 100. The Daily diclofenac-equivalent dose score was derived by converting each daily dose of NSAID to a percentage dose equivalent of 150 mg diclofenac. ASAS-NSAID score = (equivalent NSAID score) x (days of intake during PI) x (days per week)/(PI in days). A negative change from baseline indicates less NSAID consumption.

    Mean change from baseline in ASAS-NSAID score in each secukinumab group after 12 weeks of exposure (at Week 12 in the secukinumab-delayed NSAID tapering group and at Week 16 in the secukinumab-early NSAID tapering group) [2]
    End point description
    ASAS-NSAID score is used to present the NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) intake by considering the type of NSAID, the total dose and the number of days taking NSAID during a period of interest (PI). For the NSAID equivalence scoring system, "no NSAID intake" was set to a score value of 0, and the reference dose of 150 mg/day diclofenac was set to a score value of 100. The Daily diclofenac-equivalent dose score was derived by converting each daily dose of NSAID to a percentage dose equivalent of 150 mg diclofenac. ASAS-NSAID score = (equivalent NSAID score) x (days of intake during PI) x (days per week)/(PI in days). A negative change from baseline indicates less NSAID consumption. For this endpoint the analysis was performed after 12 weeks of exposure to secukinumab which was achieved at Week 12 in the secukinumab delayed NSAID tapering group but at Week 16 in the secukinumab early NSAID tapering group.

    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: This endpoints refers to the secukinumab arms only. No statistics were planned for the placebo group.

    Mean change from baseline in the BASDAI total score
    End point description
    The BASDAI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index) is a participant-reported assessment consisting of 6 questions that relate to 5 major symptoms relevant to ankylosing spondylitis: 1) Fatigue, 2) Spinal pain, 3) Peripheral arthritis, 4) Enthesitis, 5) Intensity, and 6) Duration of morning stiffness. Participants need to score each item with a score from 0 to 10 (captured as a continuous visual analog scale). Total score is obtained from the average of symptom scores ranging 0 (no problem) to 10 (worst problem), with a higher score indicating more severe symptoms. A negative change from baseline in the total 0-10 BASDAI score indicates improvement.

    Mean change from baseline in health-related Quality of Life as measured by the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) Physical Component Summary (PCS) Score
    End point description
    The Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) measures the impact of disease on overall quality of life by assessing 1) limitations in physical functioning due to health problems; 2) limitations in usual role because of physical health problems; 3) bodily pain; 4) general health perceptions; 5) vitality; 6) limitations in social functioning because of physical or emotional problems; 7) limitations in usual role due to emotional problems; and 8) general mental health. Items 1-4 comprise the physical component of the SF-36 (SF-36 PCS) that is evaluated in this study. Scores on each item 1-4 were summed and averaged (range = 0-100 with higher scores indicating better levels of function and/or better health). A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Adverse events (AEs) were collected from first dose of study treatment until end of study treatment plus 4 weeks post-treatment (median duration of 24 weeks).
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Any signs or symptoms that occurs from first study drug treatment until 30 days after last study drug treatment. AEs were analyzed by treatment period: Treatment Period 1 from first study drug administration through Week 16 (until the day before visit Week 16) and Treatment Period 2 (from the day of injection at visit Week 16 until study end).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    10 Dec 2018
    Based on the results from the MEASURE 3 (CAIN457F2314), MEASURE 4 (CAIN457F2320) and COAST V (Ixekizumab, NCT02696785) studies, the assumptions for the power calculation of the primary and a selection of secondary and exploratory objectives were re-evaluated, leading to changes in the statistical analysis plan. These 3 studies suggested that the placebo response might be somewhat higher, leading to a potentially smaller difference between active treatment and placebo than originally assumed during the planning of this trial. Therefore, in order to keep sufficient power, it was decided to pool the two secukinumab arms for the primary analysis. As a result of the secukinumab pooling introduced with the amendment, the number of randomized patients could be reduced to a smaller sample size (approximately 190 patients) than originally expected (about 204 patients), while maintaining adequate power for primary and secondary analyses.
