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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.

    End point description
    Clinical Response achieved at Week 8 is defined as a decrease from Baseline in Total Mayo Score of at least 3 points and at least 30 percent (%), with an accompanying decrease in the subscore for Rectal Bleeding of at least 1 point or absolute subscore for Rectal Bleeding of 0 (no blood seen) or 1 (streaks of blood with stool less than half the time). The rectal bleeding score ranges from 0 (no blood seen) to 3 (blood alone passes).

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: Given the lack of Week 8 data, expected at the end of the study (and lack of subjects completing the required dosing regimen), a decision has been made that none of the planned Bayesian analyses would be performed, as they would lack validity, given the data that would be available at the end of the study.

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.

    Baseline for CRP was considered Day 1, predose, or if Day 1 measurement was missing, the Screening value was considered Baseline. CRP, measurements that are below the limit of quantification (BLQ) were imputed with half of the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for the purpose of calculating changes from Baseline. Measurements above the upper limit of quantification (ALQ), were imputed to the upper quantification limit.

    Plasma concentration of Bimekizumab (BKZ) over time - at Day 1, 1 hour after dosing
    End point description
    BKZ plasma concentration was expressed as geometric mean concentration and measure in nanograms per milillitre (ng/mL). Note 1: Values Bellow Limit of Quantification (BLQ) are replaced by value of Lower Limit Of Quantification (LLOQ)/2 (=75ng/mL) in calculations of descriptive statistics. Note 2: Descriptive statistics were only calculated if at least 2/3 of the concentrations were quantified at the respective timepoint.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    03 Jul 2017
    Adjusted the timing for the Screening Visits, revised the washout duration for concomitant medications, and introduced wording for a potential interim analysis and a new stopping rule should the interim analysis be carried out.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Early study termination, due to an imbalance of adverse events with no clear evidence of benefits, resulted in a number of subjects that was too small to enable any definitive conclusions.
