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   44039   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7319   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.

    		 Change from Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) at Week 16 [1]
    End point description
    HAQ-DI contains 20 items that measured degree of difficulty experienced in following 8 categories of daily living activities: dressing and grooming (2 items), arising (2 items), eating (3 items), walking (2 items), hygiene (3 items), reach (2 items), grip (3 items), and common daily activities (3 items). Each question was scored 0-3 (0 = without any difficulty, 1 = with some difficulty, 2 = with much difficulty, and 3 = unable to do). The overall HAQ-DI total score was calculated by dividing the sum of the highest category scores (0 to 24) by the number of categories with at least 1 question answered. Total score ranges from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (maximum difficulty). A lower HAQ-DI score indicated an improvement in function. A negative value in change from baseline indicated an improvement. RS consisted of all enrolled participants who had been randomized. Missing data and non-missing data after treatment discontinuation were imputed using reference based multiple imputation.

    Notes
    [1] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: Descriptive statistics for ADA 40 mg reference arm for few endpoints was not calculated and reported since reference based imputation analysis method was used with Placebo as reference. Inferential Statistics for ADA 40 mg reference arm was not calculated and reported as no formal comparison was planned.

    The PASI90 response assessments are based on at least 90% improvement in PASI score from Baseline. Body divided into 4 areas: head, arms, trunk to groin, and legs to top of buttocks. Assignment of average score for redness, thickness, and scaling for each of 4 body areas with score of 0 (clear) to 4 (very marked). Determining percentage of skin covered with PSO for each of body areas and converting to 0 to 6 scale. Final PASI = average redness, thickness, and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions, multiplied by involved psoriasis area score of respective section, and weighted by percentage of person's affected skin for respective section. Minimum possible PASI score is 0 = no disease, maximum score is 72 = maximal disease. Subset of RS with psoriasis involving at least 3% BSA at Baseline. Those who have missing PASI90 data at Week 4 or who discontinued study treatment before Week 4 regardless of whether they had data or not are considered as non-responders.

    End point description
    SF-36:36-item generic health-related Quality of Life instrument uses recall period of 4 weeks. Questionnaire has 36 questions composing scale represent 8 domains:physical functioning;role physical;bodily pain;general health;vitality;social functioning;role emotional;mental health. Scores for 8 domains were combined into two summary scores: PCS and mental component summary (MCS) scores. Component summary scores and 8 domains have been computed raw/observed score to norm-based T-score metric (mean=50, standard deviation=10), raw score min=0(worst), max=100(best). Individual respondent’s score outside T-score range of 45 to 55 was considered outside average range and when considering group-level data, score below 47 was considered indicative of impaired functioning within health domain or dimension. Positive value in change from Baseline indicated improvement. Analysis set RS. Missing and non-missing data after treatment discontinuation imputed using reference based multiple imputation.

    End point description
    Presence of enthesitis was assessed in the subgroup of participants with enthesitis by palpation on the lateral epicondyles of the humerus (elbows), medial femoral epicondyles (knees), and Achilles tendons (heels) bilaterally and scored as 0 (no tenderness) and 1 (tenderness) at Baseline. The LEI consists of 6 items, 3 for the right part and 3 for the left part of the body. LEI is derived as the sum of the enthesitis score over the 6 sites mentioned above. The total score ranges from 0 to 6, higher scores indicates greater degree of enthesitis. As pre-specified in the SAP, the subgroup of participants with enthesitis at Baseline in the pooled population of PA0010 and PA0011 (NCT03896581) were included for the analysis of outcome measure. Participants who have missing LEI at Week 16 or who discontinued study treatment before Week 16 regardless of whether they had data or not are considered as non achieving entheistis free-state.

    		 Percentage of Participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) during the study
    End point description
    An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could 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. TEAEs were defined as any AEs with an onset date on or after the date of first IMP administration and within 140 days after the final dose of IMP. The Safety Set consisted of all participants who received at least 1 dose of the IMP. The ATS consisted of all participants who received at least 1 dose of active treatment (BKZ or ADA) during the ATP (Week 16 and after).

    		 Change from Baseline in Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease-12 (PsAID-12) total score at Week 16
    End point description
    The PsAID-12 is a patient-reported outcome measure for assessing the impact of Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) in 12 physical and psychological domains, including pain, fatigue, skin problems, work and/or leisure activities, functional capacity, discomfort, sleep disturbance, coping, anxiety/fear/uncertainty, embarrassment and/or shame, social participation, and depression. Each domain is assessed with a single question using a 0 to 10 numerical rating scale. Each domain score was multiplied by a weighting factor and the results were then summed to provide the total score. The total score ranged from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating a worse status. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement. RS consisted of all enrolled participants who had been randomized. Missing data and non-missing data preceded by a study treatment discontinuation were imputed using reference based multiple imputation.
