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   44157   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7327   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To ascertain if use of intensive monitoring of FCP and drug levels of GLM (during maintenance) to guide dose intensification improves rates of pCCR and reduces disease activity in UC.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To determine if the intensive monitoring if:
    • FCP and drug levels of GLM (when commenced immediately post induction) to guide dose intensification improves rates of clinical response to induction measured at week 14 vs. standard treatment doses.
    • FCP and drug levels of GLM (when commenced immediately post induction) to guide dose intensification results in lower levels of measured FCP at week 46.
    • GLM drug levels and FCP and concentration based dosing leads to higher rates of corticosteroid free remission at WK 46
    • GLM drug levels and FCP and concentration based dosing has an impact of patient reported outcomes of QOL
    • Drug levels and FCP with guided dose intensification or dose de-escalation results in higher rates of mucosal healing
    • Drug levels and FCP with guided dose intensification or dose de-escalation results in differences in histological markers of inflammation using the Goebes scoring system and presence of basal plasmacytosis.

    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    from week 14 to week 46
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Total Mayo Score
    The Total Mayo Score is a combined endoscopic and clinical scale used to assess the severity of UC. It is a composite of sub-scores from four categories, including stool frequency, rectal bleeding, findings at endoscopy and physician global assessment (PGA), with a total score ranging from 0 – 12.

    Partial Mayo score
    Partial Mayo score consists of three subscores including stool frequency, rectal bleeding and PGA, a total score ranges from 0 - 9.

    Modified Partial Mayo score
    A modified partial Mayo score comprises of the two PRO sub-scores, rectal bleeding and stool frequency.

    Clinical Remission
    Clinical remission is defined as a Mayo score ≤2 points, with no individual sub-score >1.

    Clinical Flare
    UC symptom recurrence as a defined by modified partial Mayo score increase of 2 points from week 14 value with accompanying requirement for treatment intervention

    Corticosteroid Free Remission
    Clinical remission at WK 46 with no concomitant steroids

    Mucosal Healing
    A Mayo endoscopic subscore of 0 or 1

    Histological Remission
    Histological remission is defined as grade 0 in the Geboes Index
