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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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
    The primary objective of this study was to assess the superiority of secukinumab 150 mg compared to placebo in achieving a spinal pain score of < 4 on a 0-10 numerical rating scale (NRS) at Week 8.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    The spinal pain numerical rating scale (NRS) is an 11-point scale to assess pain intensity in patients who are able to self-report. To calculate the average spinal pain, the patient is asked to answer 2 questions to get 2 pain ratings, the total spinal pain corresponding to the intensity of spinal pain experienced on an average over 24 hours during the previous week and the nocturnal back pain corresponding to the intensity of spinal pain experienced on an average over the night during the previous week.

    End point description
    The Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI) consists of a 0 through 10 scale, which is used to answer 6 questions pertaining to the 5 major symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis. To give each symptom equal weighting, the mean (average) of the 2 scores relating to morning stiffness (questions 5 and 6) is taken. The mean of questions 5 and 6 is added to the scores from questions 1-4. The resulting 0 to 50 score is divided by 5 to give a final 0 – 10 BASDAI score.
