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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 dose response of bimekizumab administered subcutaneously (sc) every 4 weeks for 12 weeks in the treatment of subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients were given the opportunity to discuss the study with the study doctor and ask questions before deciding to participate. The Study doctors asked about any problems patients had since the last visit, and what medications patients were taking. Routine safety blood and urine samples taken, electrocardiography (ECG), physical examinations and vital signs were taken, as well as questions about mental health were being asked to monitor the patient’s safety.
    Background therapy
    		 Topical medications Subjects continued to use topical moisturizers or emollients, bath oils, or oatmeal bath preparations for skin conditions during the study, as needed. Over-the-counter shampoos for the treatment of psoriasis of the scalp were also permitted. Subjects who used prohibited topical medications were allowed to stay in the study but were counseled to not use them further. No other topical preparations were allowed in the 2 weeks before randomization or during the study unless medically required to treat an Adverse Event (AE). Other medications Subjects who were already receiving an established non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) regimen (at least 8 weeks prior to Baseline) and have been on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to Baseline continued the use during the study. However, initiation of, or increase in dosage of, NSAIDs during the study (especially in subjects with a history of gastrointestinal [GI] intolerance to NSAIDs or a history of GI ulceration) should have been done with caution. Intra-articular steroid injections for arthritis of the knee were allowed. Subjects who were already receiving an established anti-depressant regimen should have been on a stable dose of anti-depressant for 12 weeks prior to Baseline.

    		 Percentage of subjects achieving a 90% or higher improvement from Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score at Week 12
    End point description
    The PASI90 response assessments are based on at least 90% improvement in the PASI score from Baseline. This is a scoring system that averages the redness, thickness, and scaliness of the psoriatic lesions (on a 0-4 scale), and weights the resulting score by the area of skin involved. Body divided into 4 areas: head, arms, trunk to groin, and legs to top of buttocks. Assignment of an average score for the redness, thickness, and scaling for each of the 4 body areas with a score of 0 (clear) to 4 (very marked). Determining the percentage of skin covered with PSO for each of the body areas and converting to a 0 to 6 scale. Final PASI= average redness, thickness, and scaliness of the psoriatic skin lesions, multiplied by the involved psoriasis area score of the respective section, and weighted by the percentage of the person’s affected skin for the respective section. The minimum possible PASI score is 0= no disease, the maximum score is 72= maximal disease.

    		 Percentage of subjects achieving a 90% or higher improvement from Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score at Week 8
    End point description
    The PASI90 response assessments are based on at least 90% improvement in the PASI score from Baseline. This is a scoring system that averages the redness, thickness, and scaliness of the psoriatic lesions (on a 0-4 scale), and weights the resulting score by the area of skin involved. Body divided into 4 areas: head, arms, trunk to groin, and legs to top of buttocks. Assignment of an average score for the redness, thickness, and scaling for each of the 4 body areas with a score of 0 (clear) to 4 (very marked). Determining the percentage of skin covered with PSO for each of the body areas and converting to a 0 to 6 scale. Final PASI= average redness, thickness, and scaliness of the psoriatic skin lesions, multiplied by the involved psoriasis area score of the respective section, and weighted by the percentage of the person’s affected skin for the respective section. The minimum possible PASI score is 0= no disease, the maximum score is 72= maximal disease.

    		 Percentage of subjects achieving a 100% improvement from Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score at Week 12
    End point description
    PASI correlates to the physician's assessment of psoriasis symptoms including redness of lesions, thickness of lesions, scaliness of lesions and extent of disease. Each parameter is graded from 0-4, 0 refers to no disease and 4 to severe involvement. The body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk to groin, legs to top of buttocks), and the final score ranges from 0-72. The PASI 100 response rate at Week 12 is measured as the percentage of participants who achieved 100% improvement from baseline PASI at Week 12.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    08 Jul 2016
    Protocol Amendment 1, dated 08 Jul 2016, was implemented to make the following substantial changes: •Extended the timing of the Safety Follow Up (SFU) Visit to 20 weeks after the last dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP). •Removed references to legal representatives being able to provide consent on behalf of subjects. Subjects who lacked the capacity to consent were not included in the study. •Clarified the exclusion criterion regarding laboratory values. •Clarified that subjects with any pustular psoriasis (ie, localized or generalized) were ineligible for study participation and that development of any form of pustular psoriasis (ie, localized or generalized) during the study would have resulted in withdrawal from the study. •Clarified the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) thresholds for study eligibility in the Exclusion Criteria and for withdrawal of a subject in the Withdrawal Criteria. •Clarified withdrawal criteria regarding subjects who developed illnesses that would have interfered with study participation and regarding the withdrawal of subjects due to Adverse Events (AEs) and clinical laboratory values. •Clarified the timing of the optional study exit interview. •Clarified the AEs for special monitoring. •Provided additional detail and a reference for recording the severity of AEs. •Removed the requirement to test for alcohol in the potential drug-induced liver injury (PDILI) urine toxicology screen. •Clarified the subgroup analyses that were performed.
