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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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
    The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that CT-P17 is equivalent to Humira, in terms of efficacy as determined by clinical response according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) definition of a 20% improvement (ACR 20) at Week 24.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Hypersensitivity/allergic reactions will be assessed prior to the study drug administration and 1 hour (±10 minutes) after the end of the study drug administration by additional vital sign measurements including BP, heart and respiratory rates, and body temperature. In addition, hypersensitivity will be monitored by routine continuous clinical monitoring including patient-reported signs and symptoms. In case of hypersensitivity, emergency medication and equipment, such as adrenaline, antihistamines, corticosteroids, and respiratory support including inhalational therapy, oxygen, and artificial ventilation must be available and any types of ECG can be performed. For patients who experience or develop life threatening treatment-related anaphylactic reactions, study drug must be stopped immediately and the patient withdrawn from the study.
    Background therapy
    		 Methotrexate was co-administered by oral or parenteral at a dose of between 12.5 to 25 mg/week, or 10 mg/week if intolerant to a higher dose, throughout the study. Folic acid was co-administered at a dosage of at least 5 mg/week by oral dose throughout the duration of study.
    Evidence for comparator
    		 CT-P17 has been developed as a proposed biosimilar product of Humira (adalimumab), a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody. The purpose of this study is to show that there are no clinical meaningful differences between the two products.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 First patient randomly assigned to treatment: 05 December 2018. The study was conducted at 52 study centers in Poland, Ukraine, Peru, Bulgaria, Hungary and Lithuania.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 Male or female patients with moderate to severe active RA diagnosed according to the 2010 ACR/EULAR classification criteria, despite previous treatment with MTX over at least 12 weeks.

    Pre-assignment period milestones
    Number of subjects started
    		 800 [1]
    Number of subjects completed
    		 648

    Pre-assignment subject non-completion reasons
    Reason: Number of subjects
    		 Inclusion/exclusion criteria not met: 126
    Reason: Number of subjects
    		 Consent withdrawn by subject: 24
    Reason: Number of subjects
    		 Other: 2
    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: The 'Number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period' means subjects who consented to participate in this trial through the Screening procedure. If these subjects meet Inclusion and Exclusion criteria defined by the protocol, they can be randomized which will have study drug administration. For this reason, 800 patients were screened and of these 648 patients were met Inclusion and Exclusion criteria and randomized to each arm.
