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   44293   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7351   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Part 1
    - To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and descriptive efficacy of BIIB017 in pediatric subjects with RRMS
    - To assess the PK of BIIB017 in pediatric subjects with RRMS
    The primary objective of Part 2 of the study is to evaluate the long term safety of BIIB017 in subjects who completed the study treatment at Week 96 in Part 1 of the study.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The secondary objective of Part 2 of the study is to further describe safety and the long-term MS outcomes after BIIB017 treatment in subjects who completed the study treatment at Week 96 in Part 1 of the study.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Part 1
    1. Ability of parents or legal guardians to understand the purpose and risks of the study and provide signed and dated informed consent and authorization to use confidential health information in accordance with national and local subject privacy regulations. Subjects will provide assent in addition to the parent’s or guardian’s consent, as appropriate, per local regulations.
    2. Age 10 to <18 years old at the time of informed consent. The minimum age can be older than 10 years, as required by country-specific regulations and/or local ethics committees.
    3. Must have a diagnosis of RRMS as defined by the revised consensus definition for pediatric MS [Krupp 2013; Polman 2011].
    4. Must have an EDSS score between 0.0 and 5.5.
    5. Must have experienced ≥1 relapse in the 12 months prior to randomization (Day 1) or ≥2 relapses in the 24 months prior to randomization (Day 1) or have evidence of
    asymptomatic disease activity (Gd-enhancing lesions) on brain MRI in the 6 months prior to randomization (Day 1). Relapse is defined as the occurrence of a clinical
    demyelination event regardless of whether the event is a first (initial) or subsequent (recurrent) demyelinating event.
    6. Female subjects of childbearing potential and all male subjects must practice effective contraception during the study and for 3 months after their last dose of study treatment, unless they agree to abstinence. For further details of contraceptive requirements for this
    study, see Section 15.5.

    Part 2
    1. Subjects who completed the study treatment in Part 1 (Week 96 Visit), as per protocol.
    2. Sexually active subjects of childbearing potential must continue to practice effective contraception during the study and for 3 months after their last dose of study treatment.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    PART 1
    1. Primary progressive, secondary progressive, or progressive relapsing MS .These conditions require the presence of continuous clinical disease worsening over a period of at least 3 months. Subjects with these conditions may also have superimposed relapses but are distinguished from relapsing subjects by the lack of clinically stable periods or clinical improvement.
    2. History of seizure disorder or unexplained blackouts, or history of a seizure within 3 months prior to randomization (Day 1).
    3. History of suicidal ideation within 3 months prior to randomization (Day 1) or an episode of severe depression within 3 months prior to randomization (Day 1). Severe depression is defined as an episode of depression that requires hospitalization or is otherwise regarded as severe by the Investigator.
    4. Occurrence of an MS relapse that has occurred within 30 days prior to randomization (Day 1) and/or the subject has not stabilized from a previous relapse prior to randomization (Day 1).
    5. History of any clinically significant cardiovascular, endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary, neurologic (other than MS), dermatologic, psychiatric, renal, or other major disease, as determined by the Investigator that would preclude participation in the study.
    6. Abnormal screening blood tests exceeding any of the following defined limits:
    a. ALT >2 upper limit of normal (ULN)
    b. AST >2 ULN
    c. Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) >2 ULN
    d. Total bilirubin >1.5 ULN
    e. Total WBC count <3700/mm3
    • ANC 1500/mm3
    f. Platelet count <150,000/mm3
    g. Hemoglobin <10 g/dL in female subjects or <11 g/dL in male subjects
    h. Serum creatinine >1 ULN
    i. Prothrombin time or activated partial thromboplastin time >1.2 ULN

    PART 2
    1. Any significant changes in medical history occurring after enrollment in Part 1, including laboratory test abnormalities or current clinically significant conditions that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would have excluded the subject’s participation in Part 1.
    The Investigator must re-assess the subject’s medical fitness for participation and consider any factors that would preclude treatment.
    2. The subject could not tolerate BIIB017 in Part 1.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Part 1
    - The primary endpoint is the annualized relapse rate (ARR) at Week 96.

    Part 2
    - The primary endpoint is the safety and tolerability of BIIB017 as assessed by the incidence of AEs, SAEs, and AEs leading to study treatment discontinuation.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Part 1 - week 96
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    PART 1:
    The secondary endpoints related to efficacy:
    • ARR at Week 48
    • Proportion of subjects free of new or newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans at Weeks 24, 48, and 96
    • Proportion of subjects free of new MRI activity in the brain (free of gadolinium [Gd]-enhancing lesions and new or newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions) at Weeks 24, 48, and 96

    The secondary endpoints related to safety, tolerability, and PK are as follows:
    • Incidence of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and AEs leading to study treatment discontinuation
    • Change over time in growth parameters, including height, weight, and Tanner Score

    PART 2
    The secondary endpoints are as follows:
    • ARR at Weeks 144 and 192
    • Change from baseline in EDSS
    • Change over time in growth parameters, including height, weight, and Tanner Score
    • Immunogenicity as assessed by the development of binding and neutralizing antibodies to IFN β-1a and/or binding antibodies to PEG
    • Change from baseline in vital signs, 12-lead ECG parameters, and depression as assessed by MINI-KID
