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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of Part 1 of this study was to evaluate the effects of BIIB033 versus placebo on disability improvement over 72 weeks. The primary objective of Part 2 of this study was to evaluate the long-term safety profile of BIIB033 as an add-on therapy in subjects with multiple sclerosis (MS). The secondary objective of Part 1 was to evaluate the effects of BIIB033 versus placebo on additional measures of disability improvement. The secondary objective of Part 2 was to investigate long-term efficacy (disability improvement) and additional safety measures of BIIB033 as an add-on therapy in subjects with MS.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Written informed consent was obtained from each subject or subject’s legally authorized representative, as applicable, prior to evaluations performed for eligibility. Subjects or the subject’s legally authorized representative were given adequate time to review the information in the informed consent/assent and were allowed to ask, and have answered, questions concerning all portions of the conduct of the study.
    Background therapy
    Disease modifying therapy (DMT) - The DMTs were a stable dose of Interferon-beta (IFN β) (Avonex, Plegridy, Betaferon/Betaseron, or Rebif), dimethyl fumarate (DMF) (Tecfidera), and natalizumab (Tysabri), representing different mechanisms of action, anti inflammatory activities, and routes of administration. Based on the clinical judgment of the treating neurologist, subject can switch to another marketed DMT during the study (not limited to protocol-defined DMTs) or may discontinue the DMT altogether.

    End point title
    Part 1: Overall Response Score (ORS)
    End point description
    ORS is a multicomponent score based on 4 components: Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW), 9-Hole Peg Test in dominant hand (9HPT-D), and 9HPT in nondominant hand (9HPT-ND). Overall Score=sum of 4 components at each visit [Range: +4 (improvement) to -4 (worsening)]. At each visit, each component is given a score relative to baseline (BL): -1 if threshold is met for worsening, 0 if no changes meet threshold criteria, or +1 if threshold is met for improvement. For T25FW and 9HPT improvement: ≥15% decrease in time from BL and worsening: ≥15% increase in time from BL. For EDSS, improvement: ≥1.0-point decrease in EDSS from BL score ≤6.0, worsening: ≥1-point increase from a BL score ≤5.5 or ≥0.5-point increase from BL score=6.0. Positive ORS=improvement in more components than there was worsening. ITT population=all randomised subjects who received at least 1 dose of study treatment. Subjects were analysed according to their treatment assignment.

    End point description
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. A SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, life-threatening event, requires inpatient hospitalization, significant disability/incapacity or congenital anomaly. Safety population included all subjects who received at least 1 dose of study treatment. Subjects were analysed based on the actual treatment allocation.

    EDSS measures disability status over time in MS (scale range: 0-10), higher scores=more disability and improvement is ≥1.0-point decrease in EDSS from BL score ≤6.0. T25FW is a quantitative mobility and leg function performance test based on a timed walk over 25 feet that is averaged between two completed trials. Longer time indicates slower walking. The 9HPT is a quantitative test of upper extremity function that measures the time it takes to place 9 pegs into 9 holes and then remove the pegs. Longer time indicates poorer upper limb function. For T25FW and 9HPT ≥15% decrease in time from BL indicates improvement. ITT population included all randomised subjects who received at least 1 dose of study treatment.

For EDSS, improvement is defined as a ≥1.0-point decrease in EDSS from a BL score of ≤6.0, and worsening is defined as a ≥1-point increase from a BL score of ≤5.5 or a ≥0.5-point increase from a BL score equal to 6.0. T25FW is a quantitative mobility and leg function performance test based on a timed walk over 25 feet that is averaged between two completed trials. Longer time indicates slower walking. The 9HPT is a quantitative test of upper extremity function that measures the time it takes to place 9 pegs into 9 holes and then remove the pegs. Longer time indicates poorer upper limb function. For T25FW and 9HPT ≥15% decrease in time from BL indicates improvement and ≥15% increase in time from BL indicates worsening. ITT population.

    End point description
    EDSS measures disability status over time in MS on a scale (range 0-10), higher scores=more disability. For EDSS, improvement is a ≥1.0-point decrease in EDSS from a BL score of ≤6.0. T25FW is a quantitative mobility and leg function performance test based on a timed walk over 25 feet that is averaged between two completed trials. Longer time=slower walking. 9HPT is quantitative test of upper extremity function that measures time it takes to place 9 pegs into 9 holes and then remove pegs. Longer time=poorer upper limb function. For T25FW and 9HPT ≥15% decrease in time from BL is improvement. The SDMT measures time to pair abstract geometric symbols with specific numbers. The score is the number of correctly coded items (range 0-110) in 90 seconds, higher scores=better outcome. Improvement is: ≥4-point increase from BL. ITT population.

    Part 2: Number of Subjects With Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) Score at any Post-Baseline Visit
    End point description
    C-SSRS systematically assess suicidal ideation (SI) and suicidal behavior (SB) rating scale. It rates an individual's degree of suicidal ideation on a scale, ranging from "wish to be dead" to "active suicidal ideation with (w) specific plan and intent and behaviors". The scale identifies specific behaviors ranging from "preparatory acts or behavior" to "suicide" which may be indicative of an individual's intent to complete suicide. Safety population included all subjects who received at least 1 dose of study treatment. Subjects were analysed based on the actual treatment allocation. 'Number analysed (n)’ signifies number of subjects analysed for this endpoint. w/o = without
