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   43869   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7288   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 describe the long-term safety of dupilumab in treatment of subjects with moderate to severe asthma who completed the previous asthma clinical trial (TRAVERSE-LTS12551 [EudraCT number: 2013-003856-19]).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted by investigators experienced in the treatment of adult and adolescent subjects. The parent(s) or guardian(s) were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time. In addition to the consent form for the parent(s)/guardian(s), an assent form in child-appropriate language was provided and explained to the child. Repeated invasive procedures were minimised. The number of blood samples as well as the amount of blood drawn were adjusted according to age and weight. A topical anesthesia may have been used to minimise distress and discomfort. Adult subjects were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time in language and terms appropriate for the subject and considering the local culture. During the course of the trial, subjects were provided with individual subject cards indicating the nature of the trial the subject is participating, contact details and any information needed in the event of a medical emergency. Collected personal data and human biological samples were processed in compliance with the Sanofi-Aventis Group Personal Data Protection Charter ensuring that the Group abides by the laws governing personal data protection in force in all countries in which it operates.
    Background therapy
    Subjects continued background therapy of moderate or high-dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) as maintained in TRAVERSE-LTS12551. Background therapy was modified during the study based on Investigator's judgment. Subjects used additional asthma controller therapies initiated during TRAVERSE-LTS12551. Subjects received salbutamol/albuterol hydrofluoroalkane pressurised metered dose inhalers (MDI) or levosalbutamol/levalbuterol hydrofluoroalkane pressurised MDI as reliever medication during the LPS15023 study.

    Subjects received subcutaneous (SC) dose of dupilumab 300 milligrams (mg) every 2 weeks (q2w) from Week 0 up to Week 132. Subjects who discontinued treatment for greater than or equal to [>=] 6 weeks after study LTS12551, received a 600 mg loading dose of dupilumab on Week 0. Subjects were also on background dose of medium or high dose ICS as maintained in study LTS12551 in combination with controllers (and/or oral corticosteroid [OCS] for those subjects from the original parent study EFC13691 [EudraCT number: 2015-001573-40]). Salbutamol/albuterol hydrofluoroalkane pressurised MDI or levosalbutamol/levalbuterol hydrofluoroalkane pressurised MDI were given as reliever medication as needed during the study.

    An Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received study drug and did not necessarily had to have a causal relationship with the treatment. TEAEs were the AEs that developed or worsened or became serious during the TEAE period (defined as the time from the first dose of the investigational medicinal product [IMP] up to 12 weeks after the last dose of the IMP [maximum duration: up to 144 weeks]). Analysis was performed on safety population that included all subjects who had received at least one dose or part of a dose of IMP during the current study.
