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   44364   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7388   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.

    Percent of Participants with a Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Score < 150 at Week 12
    End point description
    Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (CDAI) is a composite score used to measure the clinical activity of Crohn’s disease. CDAI uses 8 variables: number of soft/liquid stools, severity of abdominal pain (0=none to 3=severe), general well-being (0=well to 4=terrible), presence of complications, need for antidiarrheal drugs, presence of abdominal mass, hematocrit, and change in body weight. Scores for stool number, abdominal pain, and well-being are summed over the 7 days before each visit. The other factors are also recorded and weighted to create a total CDAI score, which ranges from 0–600, with higher scores indicating worse disease (score 150–219 = mild, 220–450 = moderate, >450 = severe). This measure reports the percentage of participants whose CDAI score was below 150 at 12 weeks.

    End point description
    Abdominal pain (AP) and stool frequency (SF) clinical remission was defined as an average daily abdominal pain score ≤1 and average daily stool frequency ≤3, with AP and SF no worse than baseline at Week 12. AP was graded on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe), and SF was defined as the number of liquid or soft stools per day. This measure reports the percentage of participants who, by Week 12, had low abdominal pain (score ≤1) and three or fewer bowel movements per day, without worsening symptoms compared to when they started the study. Participants began using the diary at the first visit and continued throughout the study.

    Percent of Participants with a Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn’s Disease (SES-CD) Score Decrease from Baseline of ≥ 50% at Week 12
    End point description
    The Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn’s Disease (SES-CD) is used to assess the degree of inflammation in patients with Crohn’s disease. The SES-CD evaluates four components—size of ulcers, ulcerated surface, affected surface, and presence of narrowing—each scored from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). These components are assessed across five intestinal segments: ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum. The total SES-CD score is the sum of the individual component scores across all segments, ranging from 0 to 12 per segment and 0 to 60 overall, with higher scores indicating greater inflammation. Baseline is defined as the last assessment prior to the first drug administration (based on the time of measurement, if available; otherwise, the last assessment prior to or on the date of first drug administration). This measure reports the percentage of participants whose SES-CD score improved by 50% or more from baseline to Week 12.

    Percent of Participants with Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Reduction from Baseline of ≥ 100 Points or CDAI Score < 150 at Week 12
    End point description
    The Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) is a composite score used to measure the clinical activity of Crohn's disease. CDAI is calculated using 8 variables: number of soft/liquid stools, severity of abdominal pain (0 [none] to 3 [severe]), general well-being (0 [well] to 4 [terrible]), presence of complications, use of antidiarrheal drugs, presence of an abdominal mass, hematocrit, and deviation in body weight. Scores for stool frequency, pain, and well-being are summed over the 7 days prior to each visit. The remaining variables are also weighted and included in the total CDAI score, which ranges from 0–600, with higher scores indicating worse disease activity (score 150–219 = mild, 220–450 = moderate, >450 = severe). This measure reports the percentage of participants whose CDAI score improved by at least 100 points, or was below 150, at 12 weeks.

Clinical remission was defined as a Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score of less than 150 at Week 12. Endoscopic improvement was defined as a decrease of at least 50% from baseline in the Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn’s Disease (SES-CD) at Week 12. The CDAI was a composite score assessing disease activity based on symptoms and laboratory values, while the SES-CD evaluated endoscopic findings in the intestinal mucosa. Achieving both criteria indicated substantial improvement in both symptoms and intestinal inflammation.

    End point description
    This measure reports the percentage of participants whose Crohn’s disease symptoms and gut inflammation improved at 12 weeks. It includes those with mild or no belly pain (score ≤1), no more than three bowel movements per day (score ≤3), and no worsening from baseline. It also includes participants whose gut inflammation, measured by SES-CD, was low (score ≤4) and improved by at least 2 points. SES-CD assesses inflammation based on four components: size of ulcers, ulcerated surface, affected surface, and presence of narrowing, each scored from 0 (none) to 3 (severe) across five segments (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, rectum). The total SES-CD score ranges from 0–12 per segment and 0–60 overall, with higher scores indicating greater inflammation.

    Histologic Improvement Based on Differences between Ozanimod and Placebo in Histologic Disease Activity Scores (ie, Global Histologic Activity Score (GHAS) Changes) at Week 12
    End point description
    This measure evaluated improvement in gut inflammation at 12 wks using Global Histologic Activity Score (GHAS). GHAS was assessed for each ileal & colonic segment (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon-descending/sigmoid colon & rectum). Segment subscores were calculated by adding scores for epithelial damage/tissue changes(0–2), cellular infiltration for mononuclear & polymorphonuclear cells(0–2 each), presence of certain cells(0–3) & erosion, ulcers, granulomas(0 or 1). GHAS score within each segment ranged from 0–16 & across five segments ranged from 0–80. Higher scores indicated more inflammation. Responders with histologic remission was defined as GHAS score ≤8 (each segment) [meeting criteria: epithelial damage(0), architectural changes(0–2), mononuclear cell infiltration(0–2), polymorphonuclear cell infiltration(0), polymorphonuclear cells in epithelium(0), erosion/ulcers(0), granuloma(0–1) & affected biopsy specimens(0–3)] & ≤40 (across all segments).

    Percent of Participants with Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Reduction from Baseline of ≥ 70 Points at Week 12
    End point description
    This measure reports the percentage of participants whose Crohn’s disease symptoms improved meaningfully after 12 weeks of treatment, defined as a decrease of at least 70 points in their Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score from baseline. The CDAI is a composite score used to assess clinical activity in Crohn’s disease, based on 8 variables: number of soft/liquid stools, severity of abdominal pain (0 [none] to 3 [severe]), general well-being (0 [well] to 4 [terrible]), presence of complications, use of antidiarrheal drugs, presence of an abdominal mass, hematocrit, and deviation in body weight. Scores for stool frequency, pain, and well-being are summed over 7 days prior to each visit. The total CDAI score ranges from 0–600, with higher scores indicating more severe disease (score 150–219 = mild, 220–450 = moderate, >450 = severe).

    Percent of Participants with a Crohn’s Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity (CDEIS) Decrease from Baseline of ≥ 50% at Week 12
    End point description
    CDEIS is an index used to determine Crohn's disease severity by endoscopic exam of the ileum and colon. The intestine is divided into 5 segments: rectum, sigmoid/left colon, transverse colon, right colon, and ileum. In each segment, four variables are assessed: deep ulceration, superficial ulceration, percentage of ulcerated surface, and percentage of surface affected by Crohn’s disease, using 10-cm visual analogue scales. The presence of ulcerated and nonulcerated stenosis is also evaluated across the entire intestine. These factors are weighted and summed for a total score from 0–44, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. This measure reports the percentage of participants whose CDEIS score improved by at least 50% at 12 weeks, based on endoscopic exam.

    Date
    Amendment
    26 Sep 2017
    Protocol Version 1
    19 Dec 2017
    Protocol Version 02 (• A general statement was made to note that additional detailed statistical information can be found in the study Statistical Analysis Plan. Therefore, details were removed from Section 9 (Statistical Considerations). • Abbreviations lists in footnotes were updated. • The list of references has been updated based on changes in this amendment. • Minor typographical corrections have been made.)
    18 Jun 2018
    Protocol Amendment 03 (• A 75-day (±10 days) Safety Follow-up Visit was added throughout the document and to the Table of Events to ensure adequate collection of adverse events that could be associated with investigational product. The timing of the visit is based on the estimated time needed to clear the major active metabolite of ozanimod (RPC1063, which is 5 half-lives of CC112273). • The term “patient” was changed to “subject” throughout the document in order to maintain consistency throughout the protocol. • The terms “investigational drug” and “study drug” were changed to “investigational product” throughout the document to comply with regulatory guidances and maintain consistency throughout the protocol • The term “disease remission” was changed to “clinical remission” throughout the document in order to maintain consistency with the rest of the protocol • Abbreviations lists in footnotes were updated. • The list of references has been updated based on changes in this amendment. • Minor typographical corrections have been made. • Minor editorial changes and changes for clarification were made.)
    10 Jun 2019
    Protocol Amendment 04 (• Revisions to reflect the addition of adolescent subjects • Change to safety follow up from 75 days to 90-day (±10 days) Safety Follow-up Visit to ensure adequate collection of adverse events that could be associated with investigational drug. The timing of the visit is based on the estimated time needed to clear the major active metabolites of RPC1063 in the vast majority of patients (ie, 5 half-lives of CC112273 and CC1084037 and accounting for variation of half-life duration in a human population). • Extended the requirements for contraception in females after treatment discontinuation from the 75-day Safety Follow-up Visit to the 90-day Safety Follow-up Visit. • Minor editorial changes to enhance clarity of the protocol, and update study personnel names.)
