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   43858   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Fasinumab compared to placebo and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) when administered for up to 24 weeks in subjects with pain due to osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee or hip.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and applicable regulatory requirements.

    Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Pain Subscale Score
    WOMAC pain subscale was a 5-item questionnaire used to assess the amount of pain experienced due to osteoarthritis in the index joint (knee or hip) in the past 48 hours. It was calculated as the mean of the scores from the 5 individual questions scored on a numerical rating scale (NRS) of 0 (no pain) to 10 (higher pain), where higher scores indicated higher pain.

    Change From Baseline in WOMAC Pain Subscale Scores up to Week 24 in Subjects Treated With Fasinumab Compared to Subjects Treated With NSAIDs [14]
    End point description
    WOMAC pain subscale is a 5-item questionnaire used to assess the amount of pain experienced due to osteoarthritis in the index joint (knee or hip) in the past 48 hours. It is calculated as the mean of the scores from the 5 individual questions scored on a NRS of 0 (no pain) to 10 (higher pain), where higher scores indicated higher pain. Here, “Number of Subjects Analysed” signifies those subjects who were evaluable for this endpoint.

    Physical function referred to subject's ability to move around and perform usual activities of daily living. The WOMAC physical function subscale was a 17-item questionnaire used to assess the degree of difficulty experienced due to osteoarthritis in index joint (knee or hip) during past 48 hours. It was calculated as mean of the scores from 17 individual questions scored on a NRS of 0 (minimum difficulty) to 10 (maximum difficulty), where higher scores indicated maximum difficulty.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    24 May 2018
    To incorporate an urgent safety measure, which requires discontinuing the 3 mg Q4W and 6 mg Q8W dose regimens. The recommendation by the independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) to discontinue these dose regimens was made following a review of unblinded data from an ongoing study in the fasinumab phase 3 osteoarthritis program (R475-PN-1523) and was based on an imbalance in clinically relevant adverse events including time to total joint replacement, peripheral edema, arthralgia and a trend towards early fractures in the 6 mg Q8W group. Based on the independent DMC review, study of lower dose levels (eg, 1 mg Q4W) may continue to be evaluated in this population. With this amendment, subjects randomised to the 3 mg Q4W or 6 mg Q8W dose regimens will be permanently discontinued from study drug but encouraged to otherwise complete all remaining study visits and study procedures in the follow up period and the end of study phone call.
    11 Jul 2018
    Updated reasons for permanent discontinuation of study drug to ensure subjects enrolled under earlier protocol version were immediately discontinued from study drug and moved to follow-up period if they met updated exclusion criteria or were taking newly added prohibited medications.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    5/2018: Urgent safety measure to stop dosing Fasinumab 3 & 6mg, to prevent further randomisation to these regimens across Fasinumab program. Subjects randomised to fasinumab 3 & 6mg discontinued from study drug & moved directly into follow-up period.
