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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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
    Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of a tocilizumab-based regimen compared with placebo on top of rapidly tapered GC treatment in a double-blind, controlled fashion, focusing on GC-free remission of disease. Methodology: In this double-blind, parallel group study, 36 patients with PMR will be recruited from three rheumatology centres and will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to tocilizumab or placebo over the course of 16 weeks, accompanied by a rapid tapering GC scheme over 11 weeks in both arms. The primary endpoint is GC-free remission at week 16, and follow-up will be performed until week 24 for safety and sustained efficacy. Patients will receive either the subcutaneous preparation of 162 mg tocilizumab weekly or matching placebo injections.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The investigator informed each subject comprehensively regarding the nature, significance, impact and risks of this clinical trial. During this instruction the subjects were made aware of the fact that they can withdraw their consent – without giving reasons – at any time without their further medical care being influenced in any way. In addition, subjects also received a written patient information sheet in comprehensible language, explaining the nature and purpose of the study and its progress. The patient information sheet was approved by ethics committee. The consent form was signed and dated by the subject and the physician who conducted the informed consent discussion before any study related procedure was performed. Additionally, the subjects were given a copy of the signed informed consent form. The subjects had agreed to the possibility of study-related data being passed on to relevant authorities. According to the stipulations of the Austrian Data Protection Law, confidentiality and pseudonymity of the volunteers were assured. After giving written consent the subject underwent the first screening investigations. During their participation in the clinical trial all subjects were insured as defined by legal requirements. The investigator of the clinical trial received a copy of the insurance conditions and filed the copy in the Investigator Site file for reference. The sponsor provided insurance to indemnify (legal and financial coverage) the investigator/center against claims arising from the study, except for claims that arise from malpractice and/or negligence. The compensation of the subject in the event of study-related injuries complied with the applicable regulations.
    Background therapy
    		 All patients will be treated openly with 20 mg/day of prednisone at randomization. A pre-specified taper regimen will be followed over 11 weeks (for details on the taper regimen see Table 2). In case of relapse (as defined by the investigators, who were all also blinded to CRP/ESR results), patients in either the tocilizumab or placebo group, should increase the prednisone dose by 5 mg for 1 week. Given remission is then re-achieved, the GC dose will be tapered within 4 weeks to the pre-relapse dose (within this 4-weeks period tapering is conducted at the discretion of the investigator). Subsequently, the pre-specified tapering protocol will be followed again. In case remission is not achieved by the dose increment of 5mg, or relapses occur on GC doses >5mg, the GC dose may be further increased at the discretion of the investigator. Subsequent tapering will also be at the discretion of the physician until the pre-relapse dose is achieved. Then, the pre-specified protocol will be followed.

    Blinding implementation details
    Blinding was maintained throughout the 24-week treatment phase of this study by the provision of tocilizumab and matching placebo for tocilizumab in pre-filled syringes in a matching presentation for the first 16 weeks and maintenance of the blinding until week 24. The investigators involved in patient assessment remained blinded to the results of the fasting lipids, ALT/AST, CRP and ESR.

    The primary and key secondary endpoints were tested between the groups using either Fisher’s exact tests for categorical variables, Kruskal-Wallis tests for non-normally distributed continuous data, or Kaplan-Meier estimator for time-to-event data. To control for type I error of the secondary endpoints, we applied a strategy of hierarchical testing, by which hypothesis testing continues until reaching the first non-significance.

    To control for type I error of the secondary endpoints, we applied a strategy of hierarchical testing, by which hypothesis testing continues until reaching the first non-significance. The pre-determined hierarchy for testing secondary endpoints was: proportion of subjects in glucocorticoid-free remission at week 12  proportion of subjects in glucocorticoid-free remission at week 24 -> time to first relapse -> cumulative dose of prednisone at week 16 -> cumulative dose of prednisone at week 24 -> proportion of subjects with increased ESR >20mm/h, or increased CRP levels >5mg/L at week 24 -> patient pain (VAS) at week 16 -> patient global assessment of disease activity (VAS) at week 16 -> Evaluator global assessment (VAS) at week 16 -> SF-36 at week 16 -> HAQ at week 16.
