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 compare the efficacy of tofacitinib MR 11mg monotherapy to tofacitinib MR 11mg with continued MTX, as measured by the change in the Disease Activity Score utilizing 4 components including erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-4 (ESR)) from randomization (at Week 24) to the end of the double-blind MTX withdrawal phase (at Week 48).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    •To compare the efficacy of tofacitinib MR 11mg monotherapy to tofacitinib MR 11mg with continued MTX in the double-blind MTX withdrawal phase (at Week 36), as measured by DAS28-4 (ESR).
    •To compare the efficacy of tofacitinib MR 11mg monotherapy to tofacitinib MR 11mg with continued MTX in the double-blind MTX withdrawal phase (at Weeks 48 and 36), as measured by Disease Activity Score 28-4 (C reactive protein) (DAS28-4 (CRP)), Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI), Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI), Low Disease Activity (LDA), remission, ACR20, ACR 50, and ACR 70.
    •To compare effects of tofacitinib MR 11mg monotherapy to tofacitinib MR 11mg with continued MTX on health outcome measures in the double-blind MTX withdrawal phase (at Weeks 48 and 36).
    •To evaluate the safety and tolerability of tofacitinib MR 11mg monotherapy versus tofacitinib MR 11mg with continued MTX.
