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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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
    To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in children 6 to less than (<) 12 years of age with uncontrolled persistent asthma.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted by investigators experienced in the treatment of paediatric patients. The parent(s) or guardian(s) as well as the children were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time. In addition to the consent form for the parent(s)/guardian(s), an assent form in child-appropriate language was provided and explained to the child. Repeated invasive procedures were minimised. The number of blood samples as well as the amount of blood drawn were adjusted according to age and weight. A topical anesthesia may have been used to minimise distress and discomfort.
    Background therapy
    Stable-dose background therapy of medium dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) with a second controller medication (i.e., long-acting β2 agonist [LABA], long acting muscarinic antagonist [LAMA], leukotriene receptor antagonist [LTRA] or methylxanthines) or high-dose ICS alone or high-dose ICS with second controller medication, for at least 3 months with a stable dose greater than or equal to (>=) 1 month prior to screening Visit 1. Albuterol/salbutamol or levalbuterol/levosalbutamol was given as reliever medication.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study was conducted at 90 active centres in 17 countries. A total of 631 subjects were screened between 21 April 2017 and 22 July 2019, of which 408 subjects were enrolled and randomised to receive dupilumab or placebo. A total of 223 subjects failed screening mainly due to failure to meet inclusion criteria.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Randomisation: stratified by ICS dose level (medium and high), blood eosinophils count (< 0.3 Giga cells/litre [L] and greater than or equal to [>=] 0.3 Giga cells/L), and region (Latin America, Eastern Europe and Western countries). Assignment by Interactive Voice/Web Response System (2:1 ratio) to receive dupilumab/placebo.

    Annualised Rate of Severe Exacerbation Events During the 52-Week Treatment Period: Type 2 Inflammatory Asthma Phenotype Population
    End point description
    A severe asthma exacerbation event was defined as a deterioration of asthma during the 52-week treatment period requiring: use of systemic corticosteroids for >=3 days; and/or hospitalisation or emergency room visit because of asthma requiring systemic corticosteroid treatment. Annualised event rate was defined as the total number of severe exacerbation events that occurred during the 52-week treatment period divided by the total number of subject-years followed in the 52-week treatment period. Analysis was performed on type 2 inflammatory asthma phenotype population which included the randomised subjects with baseline blood eosinophil count >=150 cells per microlitre or baseline FeNO >=20 ppb.

    Notes
    [1] - To control the type-I error rate for the analysis of outcome measure, a hierarchical testing procedure was applied at a 2-sided 5% significant level. Testing was then performed sequentially in the order endpoints were reported. Hierarchical testing sequence continued only if the previous endpoint was statistically significant. Risk ratio, also called relative risk compares the risk (rate) of an event among one group with the risk (rate) among another group.
    [2] - Threshold for statistical significance at 5% significant level.

    Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Flow (FEF) 25-75% at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 52: Type 2 Inflammatory Asthma Phenotype Population
    End point description
    FEF is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation. FEF 25-75% was defined as the mean FEF between 25% and 75% of the FVC, where FVC was defined as the volume of air that can be forcibly blown out after full inspiration in the upright position. LS means and SE were derived from MMRM model with change from baseline in FEF25-75% values up to Week 52 as the response variable, and treatment, age, baseline weight group, region, sex, ethnicity, baseline height, baseline eosinophil level, baseline FeNO level, baseline ICS dose level, visit, treatment by-visit interaction, baseline FEF 25-75% value and baseline-by-visit interaction as covariates. Analysis was performed on type 2 inflammatory asthma phenotype population. Here, 'number of subjects analysed' = subjects evaluable for this endpoint.

    Change From Baseline in Asthma Control Questionnaire-Interviewer Administered, 7-question Version at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 36, and 52: Type 2 Inflammatory Asthma Phenotype Population
    End point description
    ACQ-7-IA had 7 questions, assessed: frequency of nocturnal awakenings, severity of asthma symptoms in mornings, limitation of daily activities, shortness of breath due to asthma and wheeze, reliever medication use, and FEV1 (% predicted). Subjects recalled their previous week asthma and answered 5 symptom questions on 7-point scale ranged from 0 (no impairment) to 6 (maximum impairment). Total score: mean of scores of all 7 questions; ranging from 0 (totally controlled) to 6 (severely uncontrolled), higher score indicated lower asthma control. LS means and SE were derived from MMRM model with change from baseline in ACQ-7-IA values up to Week 52 as response variable, and treatment, age, baseline: weight group, region, eosinophil level, FeNO level, ICS dose level, visit, treatment by-visit interaction, ACQ-7-IA value and baseline-by-visit interaction as covariates. Analysed on type 2 inflammatory asthma phenotype population. 'Number of subjects=subjects evaluable for this endpoint.

An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in:death; or life-threatening experience; or required inpatient hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation; or resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect or a medically important event. TEAEs included both SAEs and non-SAEs. Analysis was performed on safety population which included all subjects who actually received at least 1 dose or part of a dose of IMP and were analysed according to the actual treatment received.

    Percentage of Subjects With Treatment-emergent Antidrug Antibodies (ADA) Response [17]
    End point description
    ADA response was categorised as: treatment emergent and treatment boosted response. 1) Treatment emergent was defined as an ADA positive response in assay post first dose, when baseline results were negative or missing. 2) Treatment boosted was defined as: an ADA positive response in assay post first dose that was greater-than or equal to 4-fold over baseline titer levels, when baseline results were positive. The criteria for positive was defined as "30 to >10,000", where low titer (< 1,000); moderate (1,000 <= titer <=10,000) and high titer (>10,000). Analysis was performed on ADA population which consisted of all subjects who actually received at least 1 dose or part of a dose of the IMP, analysed according to treatment actually received and had at least one non-missing ADA result (either ADA negative or ADA positive) in the ADA assay after first dose of IMP. Data for this outcome measure was planned to be collected and analysed separately for dupilumab 100 mg and 200 mg dose.

    Notes
    [17] - 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: Data for this endpoint was planned to be collected and analysed separately for dupilumab 100 mg and 200 mg dose and not planned to be collected and analysed for overall dupilumab arm.

    Date
    Amendment
    10 Mar 2017
    • FeNO results were not blinded to Investigators or site personnel. • Exclusion criterion - to clearly define the interval between live (attenuated) vaccines administration and IMP administration and be consistent with other dupilumab trials. • To correct the description of PAQLQ domains and PAQLQ(S)-IA periodicity. • To correct the values for medium and high dose of beclometasone dipropionate (chlorofluorocarbon and hydrofluoroalkane) and budesonide (dry powder inhaler). • Clarification of PEF meter. • To add IMP compliance check. • To clarify that a separate informed assent form had to be obtained from female subjects who started menstruating • Clarification of subject monitoring. • Clarification of PK sample blood volume for paediatric study. • Clarification of vaccination response. • To remove suicidal behavior from the list of AEs of special interests.
    18 Jun 2018
    • To increase the sample size due to an update on the assumptions based on the concluded Phase 3 dupilumab clinical trial in adult and adolescent subjects with asthma. • Clarification of an inclusion criterion: reversibility attempts definition during the screening period. • To include new countries/sites in the trial. • Change in schedule of collection of blood samples: change of last possible date for post vaccination sample collection from Week 48 to Week 50. • Clarification that potent dermatological topical corticosteroids were prohibited concomitant medications. • Removal of using prior assessments for re-screening. • To include reliever medication baseline definition. • Change of safety monitoring parameter: to adjust the neutrophil count defining neutropenia (<1000/cubic millimetre) in the study population age group (paediatric trial).
    18 Oct 2019
    • To change the study primary efficacy analysis population from an overall uncontrolled persistent asthma population to the population with evidence of either asthma with baseline eosinophil count >=0.3 Giga/L or, more broadly, asthma with the type 2 inflammatory asthma phenotype. • To change the sample size. • To specify the different hierarchy orders used for the United States (US) and US reference countries and European Union (EU) countries and EU reference countries. • Removal of the limit in enrolling subjects according to background therapy with medium dose ICS or blood eosinophil count level. • To describe the planned database lock. • To classify FeNO as a secondary endpoint instead of an exploratory endpoint. • To describe the fasting status. • To allow for home dosing start after Visit 9. • To clarify that ACQ-5 data collected on Visit 2 can be used for inclusion criterion. • To clarify how ACQ-7 value was calculated for statistical analysis. • To clarify deoxyribonucleic acid sample collection timeline. • To remove a sentence on the possible hurdle to public health value of the study in case of study withdrawal.
