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 ).

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    1. Efficacy Endpoint
    The change in BCVA letters at Week 8 compared to Baseline using the ETDRS protocol will be analyzed using a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM). An MMRM approach will be fitted with geographical region of the country where enrolled, visit, eye color (light iris vs dark iris), treatment, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects, with the baseline BCVA letters and baseline BCVA letters-by-visit interaction as a covariates. The treatment differences from the model at Week 8 will be evaluated and a 95% two-sided CI for the least squares mean difference between groups will be calculated. To prove the 2 products to be biosimilar, the confidence limits for this difference have to be within the equivalence margin of 3 letters in the PPS.

    Other Safety Endpoints
    The following endpoints (as well as the change from Baseline when applicable) will be summarized:
    • Injection site reactions
    • Vital signs (heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure)
    • Clinical chemistry (creatinine, AST/SGOT, ALT/SGPT, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), total bilirubin, albumin, total protein, sodium, potassium, chloride, glucose, uric acid, total cholesterol, triglycerides, calcium, and phosphorus)
    • Immunogenicity (ie, anti-ranibizumab antibodies and NAb)

    3. Pharmacokinetics
    The PK data analysis will be performed using the PK Set. The ranibizumab PK concentrations will be summarised by treatment and listed individually. Descriptive statistics on the PK parameters (C0, predose; C1, time point 23 hours [± 60 minutes] after the first dose on Day 1; and C6, time point 23 ours [± 60 minutes] after the sixth dose on Week 20) will be presented.
    1. Criterios de eficacia:
    Variación en las letras de AVMC que se observe en la semana 8 en comparación con las observadas al inicio del estudio mediante el protocolo ETDRS. La variación de las letras de la AVMC en la semana 8 en comparación con las observadas al inicio del estudio mediante el protocolo ETDRS se analizará con un modelo mixto de medidas repetidas (MMMR). Se adecuará un MMMR conforme a la zona geográfica del país en que se incluya a los pacientes, a la visita, al color de ojos (iris de color claro frente a iris de color oscuro), al tratamiento y a la interacción del tratamiento por visita en forma de efectos fijos, y conforme a las letras de AVMC observadas al inicio del estudio y la interacción de letras de AVMC observadas al inicio del estudio por visita en forma de covariables. Se evaluarán las diferencias entre tratamientos que se observen en el modelo correspondiente a la semana 8 y se calculará un IC bilateral del 95 % para la diferencia media de los mínimos cuadrados entre los grupos. Para demostrar que los 2 productos son biosimilares, los límites de confianza relativos a esta diferencia deben encontrarse dentro del margen de equivalencia de 3 letras.
    2. Otros criterios de valoración de la seguridad:
    • Reacciones en el lugar de la inyección .
    •Signos Vitales (frecuencia cardíaca, presión arterial sistólica, presión arterial diastólica).
    • Hematología y bioquímica clínica (osfatasa alcalina, lactato deshidrogenasa (LDH), bilirrubina total, albúmina, proteína total, sodio, potasio, cloruro, glucosa, ácido úrico, colesterol total, triglicéridos, calcio y fósforo)
    •Inmunogenicidad (es decir, anticuerpos contra ranibizumab y AAN).
    3. Farmacocinética:
    El análisis de datos farmacocinético se realizará utilizando el conjunto PK. Las concentraciones de ranibizumab PK se resumirán por tratamiento y se enumerarán individualmente. Se presentarán estadísticas descriptivas sobre los parámetros de PK (C0, predose; C1, punto de tiempo 23 horas [± 60 minutos] después de la primera dosis en el Día 1; y C6, punto de tiempo 23 nuestro [± 60 minutos] después de la sexta dosis en la semana 20) .
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    When all subjects have completed their 6-month assessments, an unmasked analysis of efficacy and safety endpoints as well as PK and immunogenicity will be performed. The aim of this analysis is to obtain results without waiting for the full follow-up of the subjects. This analysis will not affect the further conduct of the study.
    Cuando todos los sujetos hayan completado sus evaluaciones correspondientes a 6 meses de participación en el estudio, se realizará un análisis desenmascarado de los criterios de valoración de la eficacia y de la seguridad, además de un análisis FC y de inmunogenicidad. Este análisis tiene como objetivo obtener resultados sin tener que esperar a la finalización del período de seguimiento íntegro de todos los sujetos. No obstante, este análisis no afectará a la continuación del estudio.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary Efficacy Endpoints
    The following continuous secondary endpoints will be analyzed in a similar fashion to the primary efficacy endpoint:
    • Change in BCVA letters at Week 4, Week 12, Week 16, Week 24, Week 36 and Week 52 compared to Baseline using the ETDRS protocol
    • Change in total size of choroidal neovascular leakage area in the study eye measured by FA at Week 24 and Week 52 compared to Baseline
    • Change in total size of choroidal neovascularization in the study eye measured by FA at Week 24 and Week 52 compared to Baseline
    • Change in Central Foveal Thickness (CFT) in the study eye measured by OCT at Week 2, Week 4, Week 8,Week 16, Week 24, Week 36 and Week 52 compared to Baseline
    • Changes in the size and/or number of intraretinal cystoid space (cysts), subretinal fluid, and retinal pigment epithelium detachments in the study eye measured by qualitative morphology-based OCT
    The following secondary endpoints will be analysed using a Cochran-Mantel-Haenzel test and the 95% stratified Newcombe CI (by randomization stratification group) will be presented for the difference in proportions between groups.
    • Percentage of subjects with loss of <15 letters using ETDRS, evaluated as change at Week 4, Week 8, Week 24, and Week 52 compared to Baseline in the study eye
    • Percentage of subjects with gain of ≥15 letters using ETDRS, evaluated as change at Week 4, Week 8, Week 24, and Week 52 compared to Baseline in the study eye
    • Percentage of subjects without intra- or subretinal fluid in the study eye (ie, completely dry) at Week 24 and Week 52
    • Percentage of subjects with retinal pigment
    Los siguientes criterios secundarios continuos se analizarán de manera similar al critriol primario de eficacia:
    • Variación de las letras de AVMC que se observe en la semana 4, la semana 12, la semana 16, la semana 24, la semana 36 y la semana 52 en comparación con el inicio del estudio mediante el protocolo ETDRS.
    • Variación del tamaño total de la zona de fuga neovascular coroidea en el ojo de estudio, medida mediante AF en la semana 24 y en la semana 52 en comparación el tamaño observado al inicio del estudio
    • Variación del tamaño total de la neovascularización coroidea en el ojo de estudio, medida mediante AF en la semana 24 y en la semana 52 en comparación el tamaño observado al inicio del studio.
    • Variación del grosor foveal central (GFC) en el ojo de estudio, medido mediante TCO en la semana 2, la semana 4, la semana 8, la semana 16, la semana 24, la semana 36 y la semana 52 en comparación con el grosor medido al inicio del estudio.
    • Variación del tamaño y/o el número de espacios quísticos intrarretinianos (quistes), líquido subretiniano y desprendimientos del epitelio pigmentario retiniano en el ojo de estudio, medido mediante TCO basada en la morfología cualitativa.
    Los siguientes criterio secundarios finales se analizarán mediante una prueba de Cochran-Mantel-Haenzel y el IC de Newcombe estratificado al 95% (por grupo de estratificación de aleatorización) se presentará para la diferencia en las proporciones entre los grupos:
    orcentaje de sujetos con pérdida de <15 letras según el estudio ETDRS, evaluado conforme a las variaciones observadas en la semana 4, la semana 8, la semana 24 y la semana 52 en comparación con el porcentaje observado al inicio del estudio en el ojo de estudio
    • Porcentaje de sujetos con ganancia de ≥15 letras según el estudio ETDRS, evaluado conforme a las variaciones observadas en la semana 4, la semana 8, la semana 24 y la semana 52 en comparación con el porcentaje observado al inicio del estudio en el ojo de estudio
    • Porcentaje de sujetos sin líquido intrarretiniano o subretiniano en el ojo de estudio (es decir, completamente seco) en la semana 24 y en la semana 52
    • Porcentaje de sujetos con desprendimientos del epitelio pigmentario retiniano
