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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    PRO-MSACTIVE is an open label, single-arm phase IV study evaluating the efficacy, safety and impact of ocrelizumab on patient reported outcomes (PROs) in patients with active relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). The objective of the study was to investigate the impact of ocrelizumab on disease activity in active RMS patients according to Lublin’s definition of activity (clinical and/or imaging features). Different PRO questionnaires were also evaluated in the PRO-MSACTIVE study to better understand the impact of disease on symptom severity, fatigue, health-related quality of life, work productivity and treatment satisfaction in patients with active RMS. Participants received a maximum of 2 treatment doses of ocrelizumab: an initial dose of two 300 milligram (mg) infusions separated by 14 days, followed by one single 600 mg infusion 24 weeks after the first infusion.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the protocol and with the following: - Consensus ethical principles derived from international guidelines including the Declaration of Helsinki and Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) International Ethical Guidelines - Applicable ICH Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines - Applicable laws and regulations

The items can then be grouped into three subscales (physical, cognitive and psychosocial functioning) and a total score. Higher item scores indicate a greater impact of fatigue on a person’s activities. The range for the total MFIS score is 0-84.
