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   44313   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7357   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.

    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)
    Chronische inflammatoïre demyeliniserende polyneuropathie (CIDP)
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy (CIDP) is a disorder of the peripheral nerves which leads to loss of muscle strength and / or sensory loss in the arms and legs
    Chronische inflammatoïre demyeliniserende polyneuropathie (CIDP) is een zenuwontsteking van de perifere zenuwen resulterend in krachtverlies en/of gevoelsstoornissen aan armen en benen.
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Diseases [C] - Nervous System Diseases [C10]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Primary objective of this randomized controlled trial is to assess whether combining IVIg and IVMP leads to more frequent long-term remission in CIDP compared to treatment with IVIg alone.
    Het doel van dit onderzoek is om te bestuderen of het toevoegen van methylprednisolon aan de standaard behandeling met intraveneuze immunoglobulines (IVIg) tot een betere uitkomst leidt dan het gebruik van IVIg alleen.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary objectives are to explore whether this leads to a higher and faster rate of improvement and whether this combination reduces CIDP associated health care costs en increases quality of life.
    Secundaire doelstelling is om te bepalen of er sneller en betere klinische verbetering optreedt en of deze behandelcombinatie CIPD gerelateerde zorgkosten verlaagd en kwaliteit van leven verbeterd.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Inclusion of patients is based on the presence of active disease and fulfillment of the probable or definite
    EFNS/PNS criteria for CIDP. All new and untreated adult patients are eligible for the study. In addition we will include CIDP patients, treated previously, who have a disease relapse after a remission of at least 1 year, and patients who have responded to their first course of IVIg in the last three months but deteriorated afterwards.
    Patiënten worden geincludeerd als wordt voldaan aan de EFNS/PNS criteria van zeker ('definite') of waarschijnlijk (' probable') CIPD. Alle nieuwe en onbehandelde patiënten komen in aanmerking voor de studie. Ook reeds behandelde CIPD patiënten komen in aanmerking, indien zij een tenminste een jaar in remissie zijn geweest. Ook patiënten die in de laatste 3 maanden klinisch zijn verbeterd na hun eerste IVIg kuur, maar daarna verslechterden, komen in aanmerking.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Primary outcome is the number of patients in remission at 1 year after start of an 18 weeks treatment period. Remission is defined as sustained improvement without the need for further treatment. Improvement is defined as improvement by at least the minimal clinical important difference (MCID) on the I-RODS and/or improvement of one or more points on the INCAT disability scale at 18 weeks compared to baseline. Sustained is defined as no deterioration between 18 weeks and 52 weeks, i.e. difference on the I-RODS of less than the individual MCID difference and one or more points on the INCAT disability scale. Patients will be considered as a treatment failure if they 1) receive additional CIDP treatment during the 18-week intervention period, 2) do not improve at 18 weeks, 3) restart CIDP treatment for any reason between 18 and 52 weeks, or 4) do not show a sustained improvement at 52 weeks as defined above.
    Aantal patiënten in remissie, 1 jaar na start van de behandeling. Remissie is gedefineerd als een stabiel ziektebeloop zonder noodzaak tot verdere behandeling. Klinisch verbetering is gedefinieerd als verbetering van invaliditeit (MCID) op de iRODS vragenlijst en/of verbetering van 1 of meer punten op de INCAT disability scale. Patiënten worden gerekend tot 'treatment failure' als 1) er opnieuw behandeld moet worden in de eerste 18 weken, 2) er geen verbetering heeft opgetreden in de eerste 18 weken, 3) er opnieuw behandeling moet worden gestart tussen 18 en 52 weken, 4) als er geen sprake is van een remissie na 52 weken.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Primary endpoint will be evaluated at 52 weeks.
    Primaire uitkomst wordt op 52 bepaald.

    10) Number of (serious) adverse events (including corticosteroid associated adverse events);
    11) Care use and overall healthcare-related costs;

    1) Het aantal patiënten met verbetering van hun invaliditeit (meer dan de MCID);

    9) Gemiddelde verandering kwaliteit van leven (HRQL);
    10) Aantal bijwerkingen: (serious) adverse events, (S)AEs;
    11) Zorggebruik en algemene zorg gerelateerde kosten;
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    At 18 and 52 weeks. Measuring of these parameters is done consistently (table 1 and 2 in the study protocol, version 4.4.) in the intervention and follow up period. Main secondary outcomes are evaluated at 18 and 52 weeks. Secondary outcomes are also determined according to follow-up protocol (the schedule of which is refered to previously) in case an early endpoint is reached.
    op 18 en 52 weken. Deze parameters worden frequent gemeten (tabel 1 en 2 van het protocol, versie 4.4.). Secundaire uitkomstmaten worden primair geëvalueerd op 18 en 52 weken. Het follow-up protocol en het meten van secundaire uitkomstmaten verloopt volgens het eerder genoemde schema, ook als een vroege eindpunt wordt gehaald.
