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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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 tralokinumab compared with placebo in treating moderate-to-severe Atopic dermatitis.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This clinical trial was conducted to conform to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki as adopted by the 18th World Medical Association General Assembly, 1964, and subsequent amendments. All subjects received written and verbal information concerning the clinical trial. Subjects were asked to consent that their personal data were recorded, collected, processed and could be transferred to EU and non-EU countries in accordance with any national legislation regulating privacy and data protection. Both during the initial treatment period and the maintenance treatment period, some subjects were randomised to placebo treatment. If medically necessary (i.e. to control intolerable atopic dermatitis [AD] symptoms), rescue treatment for AD could be provided to subjects throughout the trial, both during the initial treatment period and the maintenance treatment period, at the discretion of the investigator. For the first 3 investigational medicinal product (IMP) dosing visits in both the initial treatment period (i.e. Weeks 0, 2, and 4) and in open-label treatment, subjects were monitored after IMP administration for immediate drug reactions for a minimum of 2 hours with vital signs taken every 30 minutes or until stable, whichever was later. Vital signs were documented in the electronic case report forms. Appropriate drugs, such as epinephrine, antihistamines, corticosteroids, etc., and medical equipment to treat acute anaphylactic reactions were immediately available at trial sites, and trial personnel was trained to recognise and respond to anaphylaxis according to local guidelines.
    Background therapy
    All subjects were to use an emollient twice daily (or more, as needed) for at least 14 days before randomisation and were to continue this treatment throughout the trial.

    The DLQI is a validated questionnaire with content specific to those with dermatology conditions. It consists of 10 items addressing the subject's perception of the impact of their skin disease on different aspects of their quality of life (QoL) over the last week such as dermatology-related symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work or school, personal relationships, and the treatment. Each item is scored on a 4 point Likert scale (0 = not at all/not relevant; 1 = a little; 2 = a lot; 3 = very much). The total score is the sum of the 10 items (0 to 30); a high score is indicative of a poor QoL.

    Reduction From Baseline to Week 16 of Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) of ≥4 Points Among Subjects With Baseline DLQI ≥4.
    End point description
    The DLQI is a validated questionnaire with content specific to those with dermatology conditions. It consists of 10 items addressing the subject's perception of the impact of their skin disease on different aspects of their QoL over the last week such as dermatology related symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work or school, personal relationships, and the treatment. Each item is scored on a 4 point Likert scale (0 = not at all/not relevant; 1 = a little; 2 = a lot; 3 = very much). The total score is the sum of the 10 items (0 to 30); a high score is indicative of a poor QoL. Number of subjects analysed = subjects with baseline DLQI ≥4.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    15 Jun 2017
    Changes requested from the Health Authorities in Europe after their review. Clarification regarding procedure for emergency unblinding of the individual subject’s treatment. Clarification throughout the section that the unblinding CRO is to be used for emergency unblinding only. Clarification that the handling of urgent safety measures will be in accordance with local legislation.
    28 Aug 2017
    Changes requested from Health Authorities in Europe after review. Safety evaluation can be made based on data collected after IMP has been discontinued. The evaluation of anti-drug antibodies is considered to be most reliable when samples are taken in the absence of IMP. Addition of 2 blood samples at Week 4. Modification to criteria for transfer to open-label treatment. Clarification that use of background treatment (emollients) is at least twice daily or more, as needed. Specification that 2 screening visits will be combined for subjects who only require a 2-week wash-out. Specification that no toxicity long-term treatment with TCI. Modification to benefit/risk assessment: deletion of infusion reaction and addition of malignancies and interference with reproductive function. Receipt of dupilumab added to exclusion criteria. Clarification on which kind of previous anaphylaxis will lead to exclusion. Clarification that subjects who permanently discontinue IMP prior to Week 16 should also be assessed at the nominal Week 16 visit. Clarification that product complaints related to IMP or any device deficiency must also be reported as product complaints, critical complaints are subject to expedited reporting, AEs in connection with product complaints are to be reported as AE/SAEs as appropriate. Clarification that SCORAD component C (completed by subject) will be completed prior to any investigator assessments. Added clinical signs and morphological descriptors to IGA scale. Clarification of EASI severity score scale also includes half-points, where questionnaires are filed, units of the clinical laboratory assessments and storage of ADA samples. Basal cell carcinoma, localised squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix will be reported on standard AE form. Conjunctivitis, keratoconjunctivitis, and keratitis added as AESIs. Number of treatment-emergent AEs and deaths added.
    12 Dec 2017
    Changes requested from the Health Authorities in the US after their review of the protocol. Modification of other endpoints. Maintenance endpoints were modified to evaluate the maintenance of effect achieved with tralokinumab by adding 'achieved without rescue medication'. Clarification that the follow-up period has a duration of 14 weeks since the maintenance period and the open-label arm both include the Week 52 visit. Clarification that transfer to open-label requires a persistent worsening of disease observed over 3 consecutive visits in the maintenance period. Clarification of how Worst Daily Pruritus NRS at baseline will be calculated. Clarification that female subjects of childbearing potential must have used a highly effective form of birth control for at least 1 month prior to baseline. Clarification that AE reporting starts at screening, not baseline. Specification that the per protocol analysis set will be used for analysis of the primary endpoints only. Pre-defined criteria leading to exclusion from the per protocol analysis set, rather than deferring until a blinded review of the data. Clarification that reasons for permanent discontinuation of IMP will be presented. Baseline disease severity added. Specifying methods of handling missing data. Description of statistical analyses of new endpoints. Clarification regarding data collected after permanent discontinuation of IMP or after initiation of rescue medication. Addition of sensitivity analysis for primary estimand for primary endpoints. Initiation of rescue medication is unlikely to be independent of the time to relapse, hence it is not considered appropriate to consider it a censoring event. Clarification that the log-rank test is considered a supplementary exploratory analysis. Clarification that only subjects who achieve response at Week 16 without rescue medication will be included in the analysis.
    14 Aug 2018
    Addition of anti-drug antibodies assay, clarification that eligible subjects who have completed treatment periods may continue into the long-term extension trial (separate protocol) without completing safety follow-up period, clarification on training on home-use, clarify that the use of topical treatments is permitted during the safety follow-up period, addition of TCI along with topical corticosteroids, clarifications on IMP management, correction of definition of extremes in the vertical visual analogue scale and clarification on AE start and collection dates.
