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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Participants were enrolled at 36 sites in 8 countries (Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Spain, and the United States [US]). The study included a 16-week double-blind treatment period (period 1) followed by a a 72-week double-blind treatment period (Period 2) for a total of 88 weeks of treatment.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Participants were randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio, stratified by geographic region (US and Canada; European Union and Australia; and Japan). Participants who completed Period 1 were re-randomized at Week 16 within their original treatment group assignments to either upadacitinib or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. Rescue therapy was provided from Week 20.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: Four participants completed Week 16 but were not re-randomized into Period 2.
    [2] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: One participant re-randomized to 30 mg upadacitinib was rescued during Period 2; 5 participants completed Period 2.
    [3] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: Four participants re-randomized to 30 mg upadacitinib were rescued during Period 2; 14 participants completed Period 2.

    Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI)
    EASI is a tool to measure the extent and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the percentage of skin affected, and the severity of eczema (scored as none [0], mild [1], moderate [2], or severe [3]) for redness, thickness, scratching, and lichenification are assessed. The EASI score is the sum of the scores for each region and ranges from 0 to 72, where higher scores represent worse disease.

    End point title
    Percent Change from Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Score at Week 16
    End point description
    EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none (0), mild (1), moderate (2), or severe (3)) for Redness (erythema, inflammation), Thickness (induration, papulation, swelling – acute eczema), Scratching (excoriation), and Lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules – chronic eczema). The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease; a negative change from baseline indicates improvement. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) imputation was used.

    Percentage of Participants who Achieved a 75% Reduction in EASI Score (EASI 75) at Week 16
    End point description
    EASI is a tool to measure the extent and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the percentage of skin affected, and the severity of eczema (scored as none [0], mild [1], moderate [2], or severe [3]) for redness, thickness, scratching, and lichenification are assessed. The EASI score is the sum of the scores for each region and ranges from 0 to 72, where higher scores represent worse disease. An EASI 75 response is defined as at least a 75% reduction (improvement) in EASI score relative to the Baseline value. Participants with missing values at Week 16 were counted as non-responders in this analysis (non-responder imputation).

    Percent Change from Baseline in EASI Score at Week 8
    End point description
    EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none (0), mild (1), moderate (2), or severe (3)) for Redness (erythema, inflammation), Thickness (induration, papulation, swelling – acute eczema), Scratching (excoriation), and Lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules – chronic eczema). The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease; a negative change from baseline indicates improvement. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) imputation was used.

    Percent Change from Baseline in SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) Score at Weeks 8 and 16
    End point description
    SCORAD is a clinical tool used to assess the extent and severity of eczema (SCORing Atopic Dermatitis). The extent is assessed using the rule of 9 to calculate the affected area (A) as a percentage of the whole body (0-100%). The intensity part of the SCORAD (B) consists of 6 items: erythema, oedema/papulation, excoriations, lichenification, oozing/crusts and dryness, each graded on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe), for a total score of 0 to 18. Subjective items (C) include daily pruritus and sleeplessness, each scored on a visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 10 (total score 0-20). SCORAD is calculated as A/5 + 7B/2 + C, and ranges from 0 to 103 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Last observation carried forward imputation was used.

    Percentage of Participants who Achieved an EASI 75 Response at Week 8
    End point description
    EASI is a tool to measure the extent and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the percentage of skin affected, and the severity of eczema (scored as none [0], mild [1], moderate [2], or severe [3]) for redness, thickness, scratching, and lichenification are assessed. The EASI score is the sum of the scores for each region and ranges from 0 to 72, where higher scores represent worse disease. An EASI 75 response is defined as at least a 75% reduction (improvement) in EASI score relative to the Baseline value. Participants with missing values at Week 8 were counted as non-responders in this analysis (non-responder imputation).

    Percentage of Participants who Achieved a SCORAD 50 Response at Weeks 8 and 16
    End point description
    A SCORAD 50 response is defined as at least a 50% reduction (improvement) in SCORAD score relative to the Baseline value. SCORAD is a clinical tool used to assess the extent and severity of eczema (SCORing Atopic Dermatitis). The extent is assessed using the rule of 9 to calculate the affected area (A) as a percentage of the whole body (0-100%). The intensity part of the SCORAD (B) consists of 6 items: erythema, oedema/papulation, excoriations, lichenification, oozing/crusts and dryness, each graded on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe), for a total score of 0 to 18. Subjective items (C) include daily pruritus and sleeplessness, each scored on a visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 10 (total score 0-20). SCORAD is calculated as A/5 + 7B/2 + C, and ranges from 0 to 103 (worst). Non-responder imputation was used.

    End point title
    Percent Change from Re-randomization (Week 16) in EASI Score in Period 2
    End point description
    EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none (0), mild (1), moderate (2), or severe (3)) for Redness (erythema, inflammation), Thickness (induration, papulation, swelling – acute eczema), Scratching (excoriation), and Lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules – chronic eczema). The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease; a negative change from baseline indicates improvement. Last observation carried forward imputation was used.

    End point description
    EASI is a tool to measure the extent and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the percentage of skin affected, and the severity of eczema (scored as none [0], mild [1], moderate [2], or severe [3]) for redness, thickness, scratching, and lichenification are assessed. The EASI score is the sum of the scores for each region and ranges from 0 to 72, where higher scores represent worse disease. An EASI 75 response is defined as at least a 75% reduction (improvement) in EASI score relative to the Baseline value, and was analyzed in participants who were re-randomized at Week 16 and were EASI 75 non-responders at Week 16.

    Percentage of Participants who Achieved a Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) = "0" or "1" at Weeks 8 and 16
    End point description
    The DLQI is a 10-item questionnaire that asks participants to evaluate the degree that psoriasis has affected their quality of life in the last week in the following 6 aspects: symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work or school activities, personal relationships and treatment related feelings. Participants answer the 10 questions on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much). The DLQI is calculated by summing the scores of the 10 questions, resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0 with higher scores indicating more impaired quality of life. A score of 0 or 1 means that the disease has no effect at all. Dermatology Life Quality Index outcomes were defined but are not reported because of an error in the programming of the electronic device used to administer the questionnaire that precluded determination of these outcomes.
