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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 ).

    Disease Activity Score for 28 joint count using C-reactive protein - DAS28(CRP)
    End point description
    The DAS28(CRP) is a composite score combining several parameters. DAS28(CRP) was calculated as follows: DAS28(CRP) = 0.56 × √TJC28 + 0.28 × √SJC28 + 0.36 × Ln(CRP + 1) + 0.014 × PGADA + 0.96 Where: - Ln(CRP + 1) is the natural logarithm of (CRP value [mg/L] + 1) - PGADA is on a 0 to 100 mm VAS scale. The DAS28(CRP) could range from 2 to 10, with a higher value indicating a more severe disease activity status.

    Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score Including Body Surface Area
    End point description
    PASI score was used to measure the severity & extent of psoriasis. Psoriasis representative sites were selected for each body region (head [h], upper limbs [u], trunk [t], & lower limbs [l]), & were separately scored by using 3 parameters (erythema [E], infiltration [I] & desquamation [D]), each of which was graded on a severity scale of 0 to 4 (0 = none; 4 = very severe). The area-wise % involvement of the involved sites (head [Ah], upper limbs [Au], trunk [At], & lower limbs [Al]) was calculated as: 0 = no involvement, 1 = < 10%, 2 = 10% to < 30%, 3 = 30% to < 50%, 4 = 50% to < 70%, 5 = 70% to < 90%, & 6 = 90% to 100%. The formula for PASI score was: PASI = 0.1 × (Eh + Ih + Dh) × Ah + 0.2 × (Eu + Iu + Du) × Au + 0.3 × (Et + It + Dt) × At + 0.4 × (El + Il + Dl) × Al The total PASI score ranged from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease but was considered unreliable when BSA <3). End point values reported are for the subgroup of subjects who had at least 3% BSA at baseline.

    The mNAPSI was used to assess each nail abnormality for each of the subject’s nails. Three features or groups of features (pitting, onycholysis together with oil-drop dyschromia, and crumbling) of each fingernail were graded on a scale from 0 to 3. Four features (leukonychia, splinter hemorrhages, hyperkeratosis, and red spots in the lunula) were graded as either present (1) or absent (0) for each fingernail. Each fingernail had a score between 0 and 13. The total mNAPSI score was the sum of all individual scores of all abnormalities across all fingernails, and ranged from 0 to 130. End point values are reported for the subgroup of subjects who had psoriatic nails at baseline.

    The enthesitis examination was based on 16 anatomical sites: the medial epicondyle, the lateral epicondyle, the supraspinatus insertion, the bilateral greater trochanter, the quadriceps tendon insertion into superior border of patella, the patellar ligament insertion into inferior pole of patella or tibial tuberosity, the Achilles tendon insertion, and the plantar fascia insertion, all left and right. Tenderness at each site was quantified on a dichotomous basis: 0 means nontender and 1 means tender. The SPARCC Enthesitis Index was derived as the sum of the tenderness over the 16 sites mentioned above and ranges from 0 to 16. End point values are reporting for the subgroup of patients who had enthesitis at baseline according to the SPARCC.

    Leeds Dactylitis Index (LDI)
    End point description
    The LDI measured the ratio of the circumference of the affected digit to the circumference of the digit on the contralateral hand or foot using a Leeds Dactylometer. LDI score of a dactylitic finger/toe = {[(A/B)-1] x 100} × C Where:  A = circumference of the dactylitic finger/toe (mm)  B = circumference of the contralateral digit (mm)  C = tenderness score (0 = no tenderness, 1 = tender) If both ipsilateral and contralateral digits were thought to be dactylitic, then the reference value was used as the comparator (ie, B in the above formula). Binary tenderness score was used in LDI score calculation. The total LDI score equaled to the sum of the nonnegative individual LDI scores across all fingers and toes. End point values are reported for the subgroup of patients who had dactylitis at baseline according to the LDI. This index has no bounds and higher scores indicate more severe disease activity.

    End point description
    The validated scoring algorithm of the SF-36 (version 2) scale was applied, which did the rescoring as well as dealt with missing items. This validated scoring algorithm resulted in standardized (0 to 100) mental and physical component scores (MCS and PCS) as well as 8 domain scores including physical functioning, physical role functioning, general health perceptions, bodily pain, vitality, social role functioning, emotional role functioning, and mental health. A higher SF-36 score indicated a better health status.

    Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease (PsAID)
    End point description
    PsAID was calculated using the following formula: PsAID − 9 = PsAID1 (pain) NRS × 0.174 + PsAID2 (fatigue) NRS × 0.131 + PsAID3 (skin) NRS × 0.121 + PsAID4 (work and/or leisure activities) NRS × 0.110 + PsAID5 (function) NRS × 0.107 + PsAID6 (discomfort) NRS × 0.098 + PsAID7 (sleep) NRS × 0.089 + PsAID8 (coping) NRS × 0.087 + PsAID9 (anxiety) NRS × 0.085 Each of the 9 items was on a scale of 0 to 10, so the PsAID score also gave a number between 0 and 10. A higher score on the PsAID indicated more impact of the disease.
