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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    End point description
    The EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of atopic dermatitis - disease extent and clinical signs affected: 0 = 0%; 1 = 1-9%; 2 = 10-29%; 3 = 30-49%; 4 = 50-69%; 5 = 70-89%; 6 = 90-100% and the severity of 4 clinical signs: (1) erythema, (2) edema/papulation, (3) excoriation, and (4) lichenification each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = none, absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe) at 4 body sites (head/neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs). Half scores are allowed between severities 1, 2, and 3. The final EASI score was obtained by weight-averaging these 4 scores and will range from 0 (no disease) to 72 (severe disease). The EASI75 is defined as a ≥ 75% improvement from baseline in the EASI score. Analysis Population Description (APD): All participants randomized to placebo, 2 mg or 4 mg of study drug.

    Percent Change from Baseline in EASI Score
    End point description
    The EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of atopic dermatitis - disease extent and clinical signs affected: 0 = 0%; 1 = 1-9%; 2 = 10-29%; 3 = 30-49%; 4 = 50-69%; 5 = 70-89%; 6 = 90-100% and the severity of 4 clinical signs: (1) erythema, (2) edema/papulation, (3) excoriation, and (4) lichenification each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = none, absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe) at 4 body sites (head/neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs). Half scores are allowed between severities 1, 2, and 3. The final EASI score was obtained by weight-averaging these 4 scores and will range from 0 (no disease) to 72 (severe disease). Least Squares Mean (LSM) were calculated using mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline score and baseline score-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

    Percentage of Participants Achieving SCORing Atopic Dermatitis 75 (SCORAD75)
    End point description
    The SCORAD index uses the rule of nines to assess disease extent and evaluates 6 clinical characteristics to determine disease severity: (1) erythema, (2) edema/papulation, (3)oozing/crusts, (4) excoriation, (5) lichenification, and (6) dryness on a scale of 0 to 3 (0=absence, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe). The SCORAD index also assesses subjective symptoms of pruritus and sleep loss with a visual analogue scales (VAS) where 0 is no itching or no trouble sleeping and 10 is unbearable itching or a lot of trouble sleeping. These 3 aspects: extent of disease (A: 0-1-2), disease severity (B: 0-18), & subjective symptoms (C: 0-20) combine using A/5 + 7*B/2+ C to give a maximum possible score of 103, where 0 = no disease and 103 = severe disease. The SCORAD75 responder is defined as a participant who achieves a ≥ 75% improvement from baseline in the SCORAD score. APD: All randomized participants.

    Change from Baseline in the Score of Item 2 of the Atopic Dermatitis Sleep Scale (ADSS)
    End point description
    The ADSS is a 3-item, participant-administered questionnaire developed to assess the impact of itch on sleep including difficulty falling asleep due to itch, frequency of waking due to itch, and difficulty getting back to sleep last night due to itch. Item 2 frequency of waking last night is reported by selecting the number of times they woke up each night, ranging from 0 to 29 times, where the higher a number indicates a worse outcome. The ADSS is designed to be completed daily, using a daily diary, with respondents thinking about sleep "last night." Each item is scored individually. LS Mean were calculated using an MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical and baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects. All randomized participants with Week 16 ADSS Item 2 (frequency of waking) data.

    End point description
    The EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of atopic dermatitis - disease extent and clinical signs affected: 0 = 0%; 1 = 1-9%; 2 = 10-29%; 3 = 30-49%; 4 = 50-69%; 5 = 70-89%; 6 = 90-100% and the severity of 4 clinical signs: (1) erythema, (2) edema/papulation, (3) excoriation, and (4) lichenification each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = none, absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe) at 4 body sites (head/neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs). Half scores are allowed between severities 1, 2, and 3. The final EASI score was obtained by weight-averaging these 4 scores and will range from 0 (no disease) to 72 (severe disease). The EASI50 is defined as a ≥ 50% improvement from baseline in the EASI score. APD: All randomized participants.

    Change from Baseline in SCORAD
    End point description
    The SCORAD index uses the rule of nines to assess disease extent and evaluates 6 clinical characteristics to determine disease severity: (1) erythema, (2) edema/papulation, (3) oozing/crusts, (4) excoriation, (5) lichenification, and (6) dryness on a scale of 0 to 3 (0=absence, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe). The SCORAD index also assesses subjective symptoms of pruritus and sleep loss with VAS where 0 is no itching or no trouble sleeping and 10 is unbearable itching or a lot of trouble sleeping. These 3 aspects: extent of disease (A: 0-1-2), disease severity (B: 0-18), & subjective symptoms (C: 0-20) combine using A/5 + 7*B/2+ C to give a maximum possible score of 103, where 0 = no disease and 103 = severe disease. LS Mean were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

    End point description
    The BSA affected by AD will be assessed for 4 separate body regions and is collected as part of the EASI assessment: head and neck, trunk (including genital region), upper extremities, and lower extremities (including the buttocks). Each body region will be assessed for disease extent ranging from 0% to 100% involvement. The overall total percentage will be reported based off of all 4 body regions combined, after applying specific multipliers to the different body regions to account for the percent of the total BSA represented by each of the 4 regions. Use the percentage of skin affected for each region (0 to 100%) in EASI as follows: BSA Total = 0.1*BSAhead and neck + 0.3*BSAtrunk + 0.2* BSAupper limbs + 0.4*BSAlower limbs.

    End point description
    The Itch NRS is a participant-administered, 11-point horizontal scale, with 0 representing "no itch" and 10 representing "worst itch imaginable." Overall severity of a participant's itching is indicated by selecting the number, using a daily diary, that best describes the worst level of itching in the past 24 hours. LS Means were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity, visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

    Change from Baseline in the Total Score of the Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM)
    End point description
    The POEM is a 7-item self-assessment questionnaire that assesses disease symptoms (dryness, itching, flaking, cracking, sleep loss, bleeding and weeping) on a scale ranging from 0-4 (0 = no days, 1 = 1-2 days, 2 = 3-4 days, 3 = 5-6 days, 4 = everyday). The sum of the 7 items gives the total POEM score of 0 (absent disease) to 28 (severe disease). High scores are indicative of more severe disease and poor quality of life. LS Mean were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by visit-interactions as fixed continuous effects.

    The HADS is a participant-rated instrument used to assess both anxiety and depression. This instrument consists of 14 item questionnaire, each item is rated on a 4-point scale, giving maximum scores of 21 for anxiety and depression. Scores of 11 or more on either subscale are considered to be a significant 'case' of psychological morbidity, while scores of 8-10 represent 'borderline' and 0-7, 'normal.' LS Mean were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

    Change from Baseline in the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)
    End point description
    The DLQI is a simple, participant-administered,10 question, validated, quality-of-life questionnaire that covers 6 domains including symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and school, personal relationships, and treatment. The recall period of this scale is over the last "week." Response categories include "not at all," "a little," "a lot," and "very much," with corresponding scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and unanswered or "not relevant" responses scored as "0." Scores range from 0 to 30 (“no impact on participant's life” to “extremely large effect on participant's life”), and a 4-point change from baseline is considered as the minimal clinically important difference threshold. LS Means were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

    Change from Baseline on the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment - Atopic Dermatitis (WPAI-AD) Questionnaire
    End point description
    The WPAI-AD participant questionnaire was developed to measure the effect of general health and symptom severity on work productivity and regular activities in the 7 days prior to the visit. The WPAI-AD consists of 6 items grouped in 4 domains: absenteeism (work time missed), presenteeism (impairment at work/reduced on-the-job effectiveness), work productivity loss (overall work impairment/absenteeism plus presenteeism), and activity impairment, that range from 0% to 100%, with higher values indicating greater impairment. LS Means were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects. APD: All randomized participants with Week 16 WPAI-AD data.

    Change from Baseline in the European Quality of Life–5 Dimensions–5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Index Score United States and United Kingdom Algorithm
    End point description
    The EQ-5D-5L is a 2-part measurement. The first part is comprised of the following 5 participant-reported dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. The responses are used to derive the health state index scores using the United Kingdom (UK) algorithm, with scores ranging from -0.594 to 1, and the United States (US) algorithm, with scores ranging from -0.109 to 1, with higher score indicating better health state. LS Means were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects. APD: All randomized participants with EQ-5D-5L US and UK Health scores.

    Change From Baseline on the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Visual Analog Score (VAS)
    End point description
    EQ-5D-5L is a 2-part measurement. The second part is assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) that ranged from 0 to 100 millimeter (mm), where 0 is the worst health you can imagine and 100 is the best health you can imagine. LS Means were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interactions as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects. APD: All randomized participants with Week 16 EQ-5D-5L VAS data.
