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   44237   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7338   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
    To demonstrate that tralokinumab in combination with topical corticosteroids (TCS) is superior to placebo in combination with TCS in treating moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This clinical trial was conducted to conform to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki as adopted by the 18th World Medical Association General Assembly (1964) and subsequent amendments. All subjects received written and verbal information concerning the clinical trial. Subjects were asked to consent that their personal data were recorded, collected, processed and could be transferred to EU and non-EU countries in accordance with any national legislation regulating privacy and data protection. In the treatment period, which consisted of an initial treatment period and a continuation treatment period, some subjects were treated with placebo. If medically necessary (i.e. to control intolerable atopic dermatitis [AD] symptoms), rescue treatment for AD could be provided to subjects at the discretion of the investigator. During the first 3 dosing visits in both the initial treatment period (i.e. at Weeks 0, 2, and 4) and the continuation treatment period (i.e. at Weeks 16, 18, and 20), subjects were monitored after administration of the investigational medicinal product for immediate drug reactions for a minimum of 30 min with vital signs taken at 30 min or until stable, whichever was later. Appropriate drugs, such as epinephrine, anti-histamines, corticosteroids, etc., and medical equipment to treat acute anaphylactic reactions were immediately available at the trial sites and trial personnel was trained to recognise and respond to anaphylaxis according to local guidelines.
    Background therapy
    All subjects were required to use an emollient twice daily (or more as needed) for at least 14 days before randomisation and to continue this treatment throughout the trial until the end of the safety follow-up period.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    After the subject gave informed consent, they went through a 2- to 6-week screening period for washout of previous atopic dermatitis medication and disallowed medication. The subject was randomised to treatment at Week 0.

    Blinding implementation details
    Subjects were randomised to initial treatment at Week 0. This was a double-blinded trial where tralokinumab and placebo were visually distinct from each other and not matched for viscosity. They were therefore handled and administered by a qualified unblinded health care professional at the site who was not involved in the management of trial subjects and who did not perform any of the assessments.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: Between the initial and continuation treatment periods, 2 subjects permanently discontinued treatment.

    Notes
    [2] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: Subjects could start the safety follow-up (SFU) period at any time during the trial, not only after the continuation treatment period. Among the 330 subjects who completed continuation treatment, 242 entered SFU, 84 transferred to a long extension trial without entering SFU, and 4 withdrew from the trial without entering SFU. 278 subjects entered SFU, 36 after withdrawal in the initial period, 16 after withdrawal in the continuation period, and 242 after continuation treatment.

    Subjects achieving at least 75% reduction in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) at Week 16
    End point description
    EASI is used to evaluate the extent and severity of atopic dermatitis. It is a composite score ranging from 0 to 72 with a higher score indicating a more extensive and/or severe condition. The analysis was based on the full analysis set (FAS). Of the 380 subjects randomised to initial treatment, 378 were treated. Therefore, the FAS consisted of 378 subjects.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    10 Apr 2018
    The main reason for the amendment was a change in the procedure for safety monitoring of trial subjects after administration of the investigational medicinal product. This change was based on the evaluation of safety data from both completed and ongoing trials with tralokinumab in atopic dermatitis and asthma which warranted a shorter observation period.
    29 Aug 2018
    The main reason for the amendment was to introduce the possibility for eligible subjects in selected countries to participate to an open-label long-term extension trial (conducted under a separate protocol) without completing the safety follow-up period in the present trial. This was due to the availability of a new anti-drug antibodies (ADA) assay with improved tralokinumab tolerance making it possible to detect the presence or absence of ADA in the presence of tralokinumab. This was not possible with the previous assay and ADA sampling at the end of the 14-week off-treatment safety follow-up period was therefore originally required for ADA evaluation. Thus, in selected countries, the new ADA assay allowed eligible subjects who had completed treatment in the present trial to continue into the long-term extension trial without completing the safety follow-up period in the present trial. These subjects had their safety follow-up period after end of treatment in the long-term extension trial.
