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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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.

    Percentage of Participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) during the study [1]
    End point description
    An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. Treatment emergent adverse events were defined as those events with onset date on or after the first administration of study medication in AS0009 and on or before 140 days after the final study medication administration. The Safety Set consisted of all participants in the enrolled set who received at least one dose of study medication in AS0009.

    Change from Baseline of AS0008 in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) total score to Week 48
    End point description
    BASDAI is a validated self-reported instrument, which consisted of 6 questions to measure the disease activity of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) from the participant's perspective. It measured the severity of fatigue, spinal and peripheral joint pain and swelling, enthesitis, and morning stiffness (both severity and duration). Each question was rated using a numerical rating scale from 0 (none) to 10 (very severe), higher score=high disease activity. The BASDAI score was calculated by computing the mean of questions 5 and 6 and adding it to the sum of questions 1 to 4. This score was then divided by 5. The total BASDAI score was ranged from 0=none to 10= very severe, where higher score indicated high disease activity. A negative value indicated improvement and a positive value indicated worsening. The Full Analysis Set consisted of all enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of the IMP and had a valid measurement for at least 1 efficacy variable at AS0009 study entry.
