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   43850   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.

    Part 1: Key Inclusion Criteria:
    -Baseline Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) of 2.0 to 6.0, have a diagnosis of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) per the 2010 McDonald’s criteria or onset of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) per the Lublin and Reingold criteria, and should have experienced their first MS symptom(s) within the previous 20 years.
    -Subjects must have experienced at least 1 of the following within 24 months prior to Day 1/Baseline: a clinical relapse (but not within 24 weeks prior to Day 1/Baseline), gadolinium-enhancing lesions on brain or spinal cord magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or new T2 lesion(s) on brain or spinal cord MRI.
    -Subjects must be on a stable dose of a protocolspecified anti-inflammatory disease-modifying therapies
    (DMT) (IFNβ [Avonex, Plegridy, Betaferon/Betaseron, or Rebif], dimethyl fumarate (DMF) [Tecfidera], or
    natalizumab [Tysabri]) for at least 24 weeks prior to enrollment.
    -In addition, subjects must have met protocol-defined MRI characteristics consistent with the presence of demyelination and relatively well-preserved tissue integrity. For enrollment, subjects must meet the following MRI criteria on the Screening/Baseline brain MRI: magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) in T2 lesions ≤-0.17 normalized MTR unit and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) – radial diffusivity in T2 lesions ≤0.98 × 10-3 mm2/s

    Part 2 Key Inclusion Criteria:
    -Ability to understand purpose and risks of study and provide signed and dated informed consent and authorization to use confidential health information in accordance with national and local subject privacy regulations.
    -Subjects who complete study treatment (BIIB033 or placebo) at Part 1/Week 72 Visit.
    3All female subjects of childbearing potential and all male subjects must practice effective contraception during study and continue contraception for at least 24 weeks after their last dose of BIIB033. In addition, subjects should not donate sperm or eggs during study and for at least 24 weeks after their last dose of study treatment.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria

    -An MS relapse that has occurred within 24 weeks prior to Day 1/Baseline or the subject has not stabilized from a previous relapse at the time of Screening.
    -Treatment with any chemotherapeutic agents (e.g., mitoxantrone, cyclophosphamide, cladribine), celldepleting
    monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) (e.g., rituximab, ocrelizumab, alemtuzumab), total lymphoid irradiation, T-cell or T-cell receptor vaccination, or teriflunomide within 1 year prior to Day 1/Baseline.
    -Treatment with other anti-inflammatory DMTs (e.g., GA, fingolimod, daclizumab) or plasmapheresis within 24 weeks prior to Day1/Baseline.
    -Treatment with Botox for limb spasticity within 24 weeks before Day 1/Baseline.
    -Contraindications to MRI, for example, presence of pacemakers or other implanted metal devices (excluding dental braces), an allergy to gadolinium renal impairment, or claustrophobia that cannot be medically managed.
    -History of human immunodeficiency virus or other immunodeficient conditions.
    -History of malignancy; however, subjects with a history of excised or treated basal cell carcinoma or fewer than 3 squamous cell carcinomas are eligible to participate in this study.

    Part 2 Key Exclusion Criteria:
    - Subjects who did not complete study treatment in Part 1/Week 72 Visit
    - Subjects who have a duration >12 weeks between their Part 1/Week 72 Visit and Part 2/Day 1.
    - Any significant change in clinical status that would make the subject unsuitable to participate in Part 2, in the opinion of the Investigator. The Investigator must reassess the subject's medical fitness for participation
    and consider any diseases that would preclude study treatment.
    - A history of clinically significant and persistent neutralizing antibody against IFNβ or natalizumab, in the opinion of the Investigator, for subjects treated with an interferon or with natalizumab, respectively.
    - Treatment with any investigational drug within 12 weeks prior to Part 2/Day 1.
    - Treatment with 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) within 30 days prior to Part 2/Day 1, unless a stable dose has been maintained for at least 30 days prior to Part 2/Day 1. Treatment with medical marijuana for MS symptoms is not exclusionary, if it is consistent with local MS treatment guidelines and local regulations.
    - Treatment with high-dose oral or IV steroids within 30 days before Part 2/Day 1.
    -Contraindications to MRI, as presence of pacemakers or other implanted metal devices (excluding dental braces), an allergy to Gd, renal impairment, or claustrophobia that cannot be medically managed.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Part 1: Overall Response Score
    Overall Response Score is a multicomponent score based on 4 components: Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS),
    Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW), 9-Hole Peg Test in the dominant hand (9HPT-D), and 9HPT in the nondominant hand (9HPTND). It assesses overall changes in disability over time. Overall Score ranges from +4 to -4. At each visit, each
    component is given a score relative to baseline: -1 if threshold is met for worsening, 0 if no changes meet threshold
    criteria, or +1 if threshold is met for improvement. The thresholds for T25FW and 9HPT are defined by a 15%
    change from baseline (≥15% decrease from baseline for improvement and ≥15% increase from baseline for worsening). For EDSS, improvement is defined as a ≥1.0-point decrease in EDSS from a baseline score of ≤6.0, and worsening is defined as a ≥1-point increase from a baseline score of ≤5.5 or a ≥0.5-point increase from a baseline score equal to 6.0.
