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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Percentage of Participants Achieving SLE Responder Index (SRI) Change of 4 (SRI-4) at Week 52
    End point description
    SRI-4 components: SLEDAI-2K,BILAG 2004 and PhGA. Participants were classified as SRI-4 responders, if they met all of criteria compared with baseline:1)>= 4 point reduction in SLEDAI-2K score; 2)no new BILAG A organ domain score or 2 new BILAG B organ domain scores; 3)no worsening < 0.3 point increase) in PhGA score. SLEDAI-2K: assesses improvement in disease activity (range: 0 to 105; higher score = higher severity). BILAG: assesses disease extent, severity in individual organ system (range: A [severe] to E [no disease]; higher score = less severity). PhGA: assesses worsening in participant's general health status (range: 0 [none] to 3 [severe]; higher score = higher severity). Full analysis set (FAS):all participants randomly assigned to study intervention and have received at least 1 dose of study intervention. Here “Number of Subjects Analyzed” signifies participants at Week 52 with Non-Responder Imputation (NRI) and Last Observation Carried Forward from Week 48 (LOCF48) applied.

    Percentage of Participants Achieving British Isles Lupus Assessment Group-Based Composite Lupus Assessment (BICLA) at Week 52
    End point description
    BICLA included: BILAG-2004, SLEDAI-2K and PhGA. Participants were classified as responders, if they met all the following criteria: BILAG-2004 improvement (all A scores at baseline improved to B/C/D and all B scores improved to C or D); no worsening in disease activity (no new BILAG-2004 A scores or =<1 new B score); no worsening of total SLEDAI-2K score; no significant deterioration (<10 percent [%] worsening) in analogue PhGA. SLEDAI-2K: assesses improvement in disease activity (range: 0 to 105; higher score = higher severity). BILAG: assesses disease extent, severity in individual organ system (range: A [severe] to E [no disease]; higher score = less severity). PhGA: assesses worsening in participant's general health status (range: 0 [none] to 3 [severe]; higher score = higher severity). FAS was included. Here “Number of Subjects Analyzed” signifies participants at Week 52 with NRI and LOCF48 applied.

    CLASI is an validated measurement instrument for lupus erythematosus developed for use in clinical studies that consists of separate scores for the activity of the disease (CLASI-A). The CLASI activity score is calculated on the basis of erythema, scale/hyperkeratosis, mucous membrane involvement, acute hair loss and non-scarring alopecia. The CLASI activity score ranges from 0-70, with higher scores indicating more severe skin disease. Severity categories based on the CLASI activity score are as follows: mild (0-9), moderate (10-20), and severe (21-70). FAS included all participants randomly assigned to study intervention and have received at least 1 dose of study intervention. Number of participants in FAS with baseline CLASI-A score >= 10 were analyzed. Here, “Number of Subjects Analyzed” signifies participants at Week 52 with NRI applied.

    The FACIT-F Scale is a participant completed questionnaire consisting of 13 items that assess fatigue. Participants responded to each item on a 5-point scale based on their experience of fatigue during the past 7 days (0 = not at all; 1 = a little bit; 2 =somewhat; 3 = quite a bit; 4 = very much). Instrument scoring yielded a range from 0 to 52 (negatively worded items were reversed during analysis), with higher scores representing better participant status (less fatigue). FAS included all participants randomly assigned to study intervention and have received at least 1 dose of study intervention.

FAS included all participants randomly assigned to study intervention and have received at least 1 dose of study intervention. Here, “Number of Subjects Analyzed” signifies participants evaluable for this outcome measure with observed data at the specified visit.

    Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AE)
    End point description
    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study intervention without regard to possibility of causal relationship. TEAEs are events from first dose of study intervention to 4 weeks after last dose of study intervention that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. AEs included both SAEs and all non-SAEs. Safety analysis set included all participants who were randomly assigned to study intervention and who took at least 1 dose of study intervention.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    02 Mar 2021
    The following modifications were made to PA4 as a result of the updated PF-06700841 Investigational Brochure (IB). The following changes were added and/or modified to the overview of the MoA and the safety profile of the product: Section 2.2.2. Clinical Overview Added study C2501007, an ongoing study in hidradenitis suppurativa. Updated to include additional guidance to the sites to encourage randomized participants to remain in the study at least through to the end of the double-blind period to complete safety and efficacy assessments.
    28 Sep 2021
    The overall rationale for B7931028 protocol amendment 6 is to address the Quantiferon gold test results which are not negative. The amendment will allow specific safety monitoring to be put into place to allow participants with latent TB (not active TB) to be eligible for the B7931028 study provided the protocol criteria can be met. China is having the biggest impact on enrolling participants into the study because of this eligibility criteria; however, once the next global protocol amendment is required, this language will be added as well.
    06 Jun 2022
    The overall rationale for B7931028 Protocol Amendment 7 is to decrease the sample size for the study from 448 participants to 350 participants, and to allow eligibility of participants with latent TB (positive quantiferon gold tests) who agree to receiving treatment with INH and Vitamin B6. This amendment also included the administrative changes made in Protocol Amendment 5 (requested during the EU Voluntary Harmonization Procedure (VHP) review of Amendment 4, countries submitting their initial clinical trial application with Amendment 5 (Italy and Argentina), and to any country requiring new protocol amendments to be submitted (Taiwan); and Protocol Amendment 6 (China only amendment) to be globally implemented. Furthermore, this change will allow specific safety monitoring to be put into place to allow participants with latent TB (not active TB) to be eligible for the study provided the protocol inclusion/exclusion criteria can be met.
    15 Jun 2023
    The driver for B7931028 Protocol Amendment 8 is to modify the key secondary endpoint of ‘time to first severe SLE flare’ and replace it with an exploratory endpoint of ‘BICLA response at Week 52’. ‘ Time to first severe SLE flare’ will remain as a secondary endpoint, just not the ‘key’ secondary endpoint and the data will be summarized as a secondary endpoint. The estimands for the associated endpoints have been updated to reflect these changes. E2, has been updated to align with the revised ‘Key’ secondary endpoint of ‘BICLA response at Week 52’ as was E7, the estimand for 'time to first severe SLE flare’.
