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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   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.

    A 3-arm, randomized, open-label, parallel active controlled, multicenter international study to compare the response of ultrasound-assessed synovitis to baricitinib, alone and combined with methotrexate versus etanercept in rheumatoid arthritis patients with inadequate response to methotrexate. Searching for synovium predictors of response.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of the study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the response of MSKUS-assessed synovitis (i.e. B-mode and Doppler mode synovitis) to baricitinib treatment, alone plus combined with MTX (arm1 + arm2) vs. etanercept plus MTX (arm 3) in IR-MTX patients. Non-inferiority will be claimed if changes in MSKUS-assessed synovitis with baricitinib (alone and combined with MTX) after 12 weeks of treatment is at least 80% of changes in the etanercept + MTX group in the same period using a non-inferiority test for two means.
    L'objectif principal de cet essai est de démontrer la non infériorité de la réponse, au moyen d'une évaluation par MSKUS de la synovite (c'est-à-dire synovite en mode B et en mode Doppler), au traitement par Baricitinib, seul et combiné avec du MTX (bras 1 + bras 2), par rapport à l'Etanercept avec du MTX (bras 3) chez les patients MTX-IR. On considèrera une non infériorité si les changements, au moyen d'une évaluation par MSKUS de la synovite, avec du Baricitinib (seul et combiné avec du MTX) après 12 semaines de traitement représentent au moins 80 % des changements dans le groupe de l'Etanercept avec du MTX dans la même période à l'aide d'un test de non infériorité pour comparer les deux moyennes.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    • To compare the grade of B-mode- and Doppler-detected residual synovitis in IR-MTX RA patients who achieve clinical remission or low disease activity (i.e. DAS28 <3.2) at 4 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks on baricitinib + MTX vs baricitinib monotherapy vs + etanercept + MTX.
    • To evaluate the predictive value of MSKUS-assessed response to baricitinib (monotherapy and combined with MTX) at week 4 in relation to clinical and MSKUS response at week 12 and 24.
    • To histologically evaluate synovial biopsies, obtained at baseline (26, 27) in baricitinib + MTX treated patients in comparison to that observed in etanercept + MTX therapy, in correlation with the results obtained by MSKUS studies. The gene expression and synthesis of proinflammatory mediators (TNF, IL6, IL1, COX2, MCP1, pSTAT1, pSTAT2, pSTAT3, SOCS1, SOCS2, SOCS3, pERK, pAKT…) by real-time PCR and Western-Blot techniques will be assessed.
    ...
    - Comparer le grade de synovite résiduelle détectée en mode B et Doppler chez les patients atteints de PR IR-MTX qui obtiennent une rémission clinique ou une faible activité de la maladie (c.-à-d. DAS28 <3,2) après 4 semaines, 12 semaines et 24 semaines sous baricitinib + MTX vs baricitinib monothérapie vs + etanercept + MTX.
    - Évaluer la valeur prédictive de la réponse évaluée par MSKUS au baricitinib (en monothérapie et en association avec le MTX) à la semaine 4 par rapport à la réponse clinique et à la réponse MSKUS aux semaines 12 et 24.
    - Évaluer histologiquement les biopsies synoviales, obtenues au départ (26, 27) chez les patients traités par baricitinib + MTX par rapport à celles observées avec l'étanercept + MTX, en corrélation avec les résultats obtenus dans les études MSKUS. L'expression et la synthèse des gènes des médiateurs pro-inflammatoires (TNF, IL6, IL1, COX2, MCP1, pSTAT1, pSTAT2, pSTAT3, SOCS1, SOCS2, SOCS3, pERK, pAKT...) par PCR temps réel et techniques...

    Safety: Safety evaluation will be assessed through physical examination, possible adverse events (related or not to the treatment under study) and analytical parameters. During each study visit all the safety variables must be recorded in medical records and e-CRF.
    Efficacité : Le résultat principal considéré dans cet essai est la diminution de l'inflammation de l'articulation détectée par MSKUS (mode B et synovite en mode Doppler).
    Sécurité : L'évaluation de la sécurité sera réalisée en tenant compte d'un examen physique, des éventuels événements adverses (liés ou pas au traitement de l'essai) et des paramètres analytiques. À chaque visite de l'essai, toutes les variables de sécurité doivent être enregistrées dans les registres médicaux et dans le eCRF.

    Semaines 4, 12, 24
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary: The secondary endpoints will be:
    • Time-point of significant change in B-mode and Doppler synovitis according to treatment group (4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks).
    • Presence and amount of subclinical B-mode and Doppler synovitis in patients reaching DAS28-defined clinical remission and low disease activity at 4 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks, according to treatment group.
    • Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI), and Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) at 4 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks, according to treatment group.
    • Correlation between presence of MSKUS-assessed synovitis, synovial histological alterations and the presence of proinflammatory citokines (TNF, IL6, IL1, COX2, MCP1, RANKL, OPG…) in serum and synovial tissue, at baseline in all patients and after 12 weeks in patients classified as non-responders, according to treatment group.
    • Changes in PROM as assessed by the Health Assessment Questionnaire–Disability Index (HAQ-DI), from baseline to 24 weeks.
    Les variables secondaires sont :
    • Moment déterminé du changement significatif en mode B et la synovite Doppler selon le groupe de traitement (4 semaines, 12 semaines, 24 semaines).
    • Présence et quantité de la synovite sous-clinique en mode B et en mode Doppler chez les patients en rémission clinique selon DAS28 et avec une faible activité de la maladie au bout de 4 semaines, 12 semaines et 24 semaines, en fonction du groupe de traitement.
    • Corrélation entre la présence de synovite évaluée par MSKUS, les altérations histologiques synoviales et la présence de cytokines inflammatoires dans le sérum et le tissu synovial, lors de la visite de référence de tous les patients et après 12 semaines pour les patients classés comme non répondeurs, en fonction du groupe de traitement.
    • Changements dans les PROMs (mesure de résultats rapportée par le patient) selon les évaluations du Questionnaire d'Évaluation de la Santé - Indice d'Invalidité (HAQ-DI), depuis le début jusqu'aux 24 semaines.
