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   43857   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 ).

    Background therapy
    Topical 0.1% mometasone applied only to lesions up to 30gram/week allowed as maximal background therapy for first 21 days.
    Evidence for comparator
    No comparator, single arm.

    End point title
    Mean absolute change in BPDAI activity scores between Baseline (Day 1) and Day 42
    End point description
    The BPDAI (Bullous Pemphigoid Disease Area Index) quantifies lesion number and size thresholds. Lesions are rated based on the regions affected. The BPDAI gives additional weighting to areas of the skin primarily affected in BP, such as the limbs, and less emphasis to scalp and face, to better differentiate clinical response in BP. BPDAI activity scores of <20, 20 - 56 and >57, respectively, are considered to define mild, moderate and severe disease. The minimum clinically important difference (MCID) in disease symptom improvement is considered a 4 point decrease in BPDAI activity score. The total BPDAI activity score is the arithmetic sum of three subcomponents - cutaneous blisters/erosions, cutaneous urticaria/erythema, and mucosal blisters/erosions.

    The DLQI questionnaire was designed to measure how much a persons skin problems have affected their life over the last week. It features 10 items which relate to possible functional, physical, and psychological repercussions on quality of life. The interpretation of the DLQI scores range from 0-30, and are typically that a score of 0-1 has no effect on the patient’s life, 2-5 has a small effect, 6-10 a moderate effect, and 11-20 a very large effect.

It features 17 items which relate to possible functional, physical, psychological, and financial repercussions on quality of life. Each item is scored from 0 to 3 points, with higher scores denoting poorer quality of life. The sum of these scores gives the total TABQOL score ranging from 0 to 51.
