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
    To assess the efficacy of 6 months' cenerimod treatment given at 4 different dose levels (0.5, 1, 2, and 4 mg once daily) on disease activity in adult subjects with moderate to severe SLE concurrently receiving background therapy.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Prior to the start of the study, each study site consulted an Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB), i.e., a review panel that was responsible for ensuring the protection of the rights, safety, and well-being of human subjects involved in a clinical investigation. The protocol and any materials provided to the subject (such as a subject information sheet or description of the study used to obtain informed consent) were reviewed and approved by the appropriate IEC or IRB before the study was started. Sponsor personnel and the investigators were required to conduct the study in full compliance with ICH-GCP Guidelines, the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, and with the laws and regulations in the country in which the study is conducted. The sponsor had the right to terminate the study at any time globally or locally. The investigators had the right to terminate the participation of their site in the study at any time. The investigator was responsible for protecting the subject's best interests. Study-specific criteria for discontinuation were described in the protocol. The investigators were responsible for maintaining the subjects' identities in strictest confidence. Written informed consent was required to be obtained from each individual participating in the study prior to any study procedure and after adequate explanation of the aims, methods, objectives, and potential hazards of the study. It was made clear to each subject that he or she was completely free to refuse to enter the study, or to withdraw from the study at any time for any reason.
    Background therapy
    To be eligible for this study, subjects must have been on stable doses of one or more of the following systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) background medications: • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, • Anti-malarials, • Mycophenolate mofetil, • Mycophenolic acid, • Azathioprine, • Methotrexate, • Corticosteroids, • Belimumab. Treatment with anti-malarials, mycophenolate mofetil, mycophenolic acid, azathioprine, methotrexate or belimumab must have been started at least 90 days prior to Screening. All other background SLE therapies must have been started at least 30 days prior to Screening. Background SLE therapy doses must be stable for at least 30 days prior to Randomization. For corticosteroids, doses must be stable for at least 15 days prior to Randomization

    modified SLEDAI-2K at baseline
    The SLEDAI-2K is a weighted, cumulative index of lupus disease activity scored by the physician. It is calculated from 24 individual descriptors across 9 organ systems, 0 indicates inactive disease and the maximum theoretical score is 105 (Gladman D et al. J Rheumatol 2002;29;288-291). In this study the SLEDAI-2K was modified, to exclude leucopenia (1 point), due to the mechanism of action of cenerimod. A score of 6 or greater is clinically relevant and associated with requiring lupus-directed therapy (Nuttall A et al. Best Pract Res Clin Rheumatol. 2013 Jun; 27(3):309-18).

    Change From Baseline to Month 6 in the Modified Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Activity Index 2000 (mSLEDAI-2K) Score
    End point description
    The primary endpoint is the absolute change from baseline in the modified Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Activity Index 2000 (mSLEDAI-2K) score. The SLEDAI-2K is a weighted, cumulative index of lupus disease activity scored by the physician and is calculated from 24 individual descriptors and measures disease activity within the last 10 days. In this study the SLEDAI-2K was modified, to exclude leucopenia, due to the mechanism of action of cenerimod. Improvement in systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity is defined as a reduction in SLEDAI-2K score of greater than or equal to 4. A decreased score, i.e., a negative change indicates an improvement in systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity from baseline to month 6.

    Response on Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Responder Index 4 (SRI-4) at Month 6 as Compared to Baseline
    End point description
    A responder could only be assessed if the full information of all body systems was available. A participant was defined as a responder based on the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Responder Index 4 (SRI-4) was a composite, binary endpoint based on three variables: • mSLEDAI-2K score had to have a reduction from baseline greater than or equal to 4, • Physician Global Assessment (PGA) had to have an increase from baseline less than or equal to 0.3. The PGA is a 100 mm visual analog scale used by the physician to assess disease activity ranging for 0 to 3. The scale is anchored with values from 0 = "none" and 3 = "severe"), and • BILAG-2004 (no new BILAG A organ domain score and at most one new BILAG B organ domain score) compared with baseline. If one of the SRI-4 mSLEDAI-2K, PGA and BILAG variables were not met the subject was scored a non-responder. Subjects that did not fit at least one of the above criteria were assigned to the missing group.

    End point description
    The British Isles Lupus Assessment Group-2004 (BILAG) is a comprehensive tool used by the physician to assess disease activity and is sensitive to small changes over time. Response (no worsening) at Month 6 on BILAG-2004 disease activity index was defined as no new BILAG A organ domain score and no more than one new BILAG B organ domain score compared with baseline. No analysis is reported because the model did not meet the convergence criteria.
