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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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.
    O objetivo principal do estudo é demonstrar, através da avaliação por MSKUS da inflamação sinovial (ou seja, sinovite em modo B e modo Doppler) a não inferioridade da resposta, ao tratamento com Baricitinib, isoladamente e combinado com MTX (braço1 + braço2) versus Etanercept com MTX (braço 3) em pacientes IR-MTX. Será considerada, através de avaliação por MSKUS de inflamação sinovial, como não inferioridade se as alterações, com Baricitinib (isoladamente e combinado com MTX) depois de 12 semanas de tratamento são pelo menos 80 % das alterações no grupo de Etanercept com MTX, no mesmo período utilizando um teste de não inferioridade para comparar as duas médias.
    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.
    ...
    • Comparar o grau de sinovite residual detectada no modo B e Doppler em pacientes com AR com IR-MTX que alcançam remissão clínica ou baixa atividade da doença (ou seja, DAS28 <3,2) com 4 semanas, 12 semanas e 24 semanas com baricitinibe + MTX versus baricitinibe monoterapia vs + etanercept + MTX.
    • Avaliar o valor preditivo da resposta avaliada por MSKUS ao baricitinib (monoterapia e combinado com MTX) na semana 4 em relação à resposta clínica e MSKUS na semana 12 e 24.
    • Avaliar histologicamente as biópsias sinoviais, obtidas no início do estudo (26, 27), em pacientes tratados com baricitinibe + MTX em comparação ao observado na terapia com etanercepte + MTX, em correlação com os resultados obtidos pelos estudos com MSKUS. A expressão gênica e a síntese de mediadores pró-inflamatórios (TNF, IL6, IL1, COX2, MCP1, pSTAT1, pSTAT2, pSTAT3, SOCS1, SOCS2, SOCS3, pERK, pAKT ...) por técnicas de PCR em tempo real e Western-Blot serão avaliadas.

    • 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.
    As variáveis secundárias serão:
    • Momento determinado da alteração significativa de sinovite no modo B e Doppler consoante o grupo de tratamento (4 semanas, 12 semanas, 24 semanas).
    • Presença e quantidade de sinovite subclínica em modo B e modo Doppler, em pacientes que alcançaram a remissão clínica definida por DAS28 e uma baixa atividade da doença às 4 semanas, 12 semanas e 24 semanas, consoante o grupo de tratamento.
    • Índice de atividade da doença simplificado (SDAI) e índice de atividade clínica da doença (CDAI) às 4 semanas, 12 semanas e 24 semanas, dependendo do grupo de tratamento.
    • Correlação entre a presença de sinovite avaliada por MSKUS, as alterações histológicas sinoviais e a presença de citocinas pró-inflamatórias (TNF, IL6, IL1, COX2, MCP1, RANKL, OPG) em soro e tecido sinovial, na visita basal em todos os pacientes e depois de 12 semanas em pacientes classificados como não responsivos, consoante o grupo de tratamento.
    • Alterações nas PROMs de acordo com o avaliado pelo Questionário de Avaliação da Saúde - Índice de Incapacidade (HAQ-ID), desde o início até às 24 semanas.
