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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy of KEVZARA (sarilumab) in patients with
    polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) as assessed by the proportion of subjects
    with sustained remission for sarilumab with a shorter corticosteroid (CS)
    tapering regimen as compared to placebo with a longer CS tapering
    regimen.
    Valutare l’efficacia di KEVZARA® (sarilumab) in pazienti con polimialgia reumatica (PMR), valutata mediante la percentuale di soggetti con remissione sostenuta indotta da sarilumab in aggiunta a corticosteroidi (CS) somministrati secondo un regime di riduzione graduale della dose rispetto al placebo in aggiunta a corticosteroidi (CS) somministrati secondo con un regime di riduzione graduale della dose .
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    -To demonstrate the efficacy of sarilumab in patients with polymyalgia
    rheumatica compared to placebo, in combination with a CS taper with
    regards to:
    -Clinical responses (such as components of sustained remission,
    disease remission rates, time to first disease flare) over time.
    -Cumulative CS (including prednisone) exposure.
    -To assess the safety (including immunogenicity) and tolerability of
    sarilumab in patients with PMR.
    -To measure sarilumab serum concentrations in patients with PMR.
    -To assess the effect of sarilumab in reducing glucocorticoid toxicity as
    measured by the composite glucocorticoid toxicity index (GTI)
    questionnaire.
    Dimostrare l’efficacia di sarilumab in pazienti con polimialgia reumatica rispetto al placebo (in aggiunta a CS somministrati secondo un regime di riduzione graduale della dose e) in termini di:
    - Risposte cliniche (quali componenti della remissione sostenuta, tassi di remissione della malattia, tempo alla prima riacutizzazione della malattia) nel tempo.
    - Esposizione cumulativa a corticosteroidi (compreso prednisone).
    Valutare la sicurezza (compresa l’immunogenicità) e la tollerabilità di sarilumab in pazienti con PMR.
    Misurare le concentrazioni di sarilumab nel siero di pazienti con PMR.
    Valutare l’effetto di sarilumab nel ridurre la tossicità dei glucocorticoidi misurata mediante il questionario dell’indice di tossicità con glucocorticoidi (Glucocorticoid Toxicity Index, GTI) composito.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
