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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 evaluate a treatment decision algorithm based upon ‘in vivo’ demonstration of TNFα by using a radiolabeled scintigraphic procedure with Technetium-labeled Cimzia®. To demonstrate that Cimzia® has a larger effect than alternative therapies (Orencia®/Roactemra®) in scintigraphy positive patients as compared to scintigraphy negative patients. Thus, we want to show that there is an interaction between the scintigraphic result and the treatment.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    A secondary objective is to show superiority of Cimzia® in the scintigraphy positive patients.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    • Age between 18 and 70 years with presence of documented diagnosis (clinical evaluation, x-ray hands and feet ≤ 3 months before inclusion) of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) at least 3 months and no longer than 15 years defined according to the ACR/EULAR criteria 2010.
    • It should be a RA who has an inadequate response to at least 2 DMARDs of which one is methotrexate. Methotrexate should be started at least 3 months before baseline and the dosage and route of administration should be stable for at least 2 months before baseline. The minimal weekly doses allowed for methotrexate is 10 mg and the maximal dose is 25 mg.
    • Conform with the Belgian reimbursement criteria for anti-TNF therapy, the DAS28 should be > 3.7.
    • Patients should have failed one, but maximum two anti-TNFα treatments other than Cimzia®.
    • Active disease according to the rheumatologist with DAS28 score ≥3.7 and at least 1 swollen joint clinically on a 66-swollen joint count.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    • The patients may not have received any experimental biological and/or non-biological therapy in the last 3 months or 5 times the half-life of the therapy before baseline.
    • The patients may not have received a treatment with certolizumab pegol and/or abatacept and/or tocilizumab and/or rituximab.
    • Known hypersensitivity to certolizumab pegol ,abatacept or tocilizumab or one of its excipients.
    • Current or recent history of severe progressive uncontrolled renal, hepatic, hematological, gastro-intestinal, endocrinal, pulmonal, cardial, neurological or cerebral disorders.
    • Severe or life-threatening infection in the last 6 months; signs and symptoms of a current or recent infection.
    • Actieve tuberculosis.
    • Latent tuberculosis, with the exception of patient who are adequately treated according to the local regulations. Absence of latent tuberculosis is defined as a negative tuberculine skintest (Mantoux PPD test) and a recent (< 6 months) x-ray of thorax which shown no suggestive injuries for TB.
    • Known or current viral hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection. Known HIV infection.
    • Presence of malignity or history of a maligne pathology.
    • History of lymphoproliferatic disorder or signs or symptoms suggestive for such a disorder.
    • Moderate to severe cardiac failure (NYHA-class III/IV).
    • Women of childbearing potential and who are not taking adequate contraception (such as oral/parenteral/implantable hormonal therapy, intra-uterine device, or barrier and spermicide method). Patient should agree to use adequate contraception during the study and until 12 weeks after the last administration of certolizumab pegol, abatacept or tocilizumab.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Demonstration of significant ‘in vivo’ TNFα expression would predict a good response to the ‘TNFα Class Switch’-option, whereas absence of demonstrable TNFα would result in a better response to a biological with another mode of action.
