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.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To assess whether tapering MTX first, then GOL, is associated with a higher proportion of patients in sustained remission at week 24 after start of tapering than tapering GOL first, then MTX.
    Sustained remission is defined as DAS28<2.6 with max 4 swollen joints of the 44SJC at 2 consecutive visits, 3 months apart.

    Remission will be induced by a T2T strategy consisting of a combination of first-line DMARDs in accordance with local guidelines comprising rapidly escalating doses of MTX and HCQ and a single i.m. methylprednisolone injection. Patients not in remission (DAS28≥2.6) at either 12 or 24 weeks will receive GOL 50 mg s.c. monthly instead of HCQ.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To investigate whether:
    Tapering MTX first, then GOL is associated with a higher proportion of patients in (drug-free) sustained remission at week 48 after start of tapering than tapering GOL first, then MTX
    Tapering MTX first, then GOL is associated with improved disease activity (using the DAS28), functional ability (using Dutch consensus HAQ), quality of life (using(EQ5D)), anxiety and depression (using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)), and fatigue (using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Fatigue (FACIT-F)) at week 24 and at week 48 after start of tapering compared to tapering GOL first, then MTX
    The time until remission after retreatment with the last effective dose upon flare while tapering MTX/GOL, is shorter while tapering MTX first, then GOL, compared to tapering GOL first, then MTX
    To compare the frequency of pre-specified AEs between the two tapering strategies at week 24 and week 48 after start of tapering
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    To be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all of the following criteria:
    - Able and willing to give written informed consent
    - At least 18 years of age
    - Fulfilling 2010 ACR/EULAR criteria for RA (Appendix A.)
    - Patient reported symptom duration (joint stiffness, tenderness, pain, and/or swelling) < 12 months
    - Naïve for DMARD and biological treatment
    - Naïve for previous use of glucocorticoids for RA
    - DAS28 =>3.2
    - Have sufficient knowledge of the Dutch language to be able to comply with the requirements of the study protocol
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    A potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
    - Being pregnant or a nursing women or a women of child bearing potential without (adequate) use of contraception
    - Having any other inflammatory rheumatic disease than RA, except for secondary Sjögren’s syndrome
    - Having contraindications for the use of MTX/HCQ/methylprednisolone/GOL.
    E.5 End points

    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Phase I (Remission induction):
    The proportion of patients on MTX/HCQ/GC in remission, defined as DAS28<2.6, at week 12 or week 24 after start of treatment
    The proportion of patients on MTX/GOL in sustained remission at week 24 after start of GOL treatment
    Predictors of remission upon treatment with MTX, HCQ and a single injection of i.m. GC
    Predictors of remission upon treatment with MTX and GOL

    Phase II (Tapering):
    The proportion of patients in drug-free sustained remission at week 48 after start of tapering
    Mean disease activity, using the DAS28 at week 24 and week 48 after start of tapering
    Mean functional ability, using the Dutch consensus HAQ at week 24 and week 48 after start of tapering
    Mean quality of life, using the VAS of the EQ5D, at week 24 and week 48 after start of tapering
    Mean anxiety and depression (using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)), at week 24 and week 48 after start of tapering
    Mean fatigue (using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Fatigue (FACIT-F)), at week 24 and week 48 after start of tapering
    The frequency of pre-specified AEs in the two tapering strategies after 24 and after 48 weeks.
    The time until remission after retreatment with the last effective dose upon flare while tapering MTX/GOL

    Phase III (Follow-up):
    The proportion of patients in drug-free sustained remission at week 48 after discontinuation of both MTX and GOL
    The time until remission after retreatment with the last effective dose in clinical care upon flare
    The proportion of pre-specified AEs between the two tapering strategies after at week 24 and after week 48 weeks.

    Phase II and III:
    Cost per extra patient in remission up to week 96 after start of tapering (end of phase III)
    Cost per QALY gained up to week 96 after start of tapering (end of phase III)

    Overall:
    - The sensitivity and predictive value of the patient reported RAPID3 to detect remission and flare
