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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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
    The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety of ABX464 given at 50mg once daily in patients with moderate to severe active Rheumatoid Arthritis.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    - To evaluate the long-term effects of ABX464 on Low Disease Activity (LDA) or remission (DAS28-ESR remission, ACR/EULAR remission, SDAI and CDAI remission);

    - To evaluate the long-term effects of ABX464 on disease activity scores (DAS28 scores, simplified disease activity score [SDAI] and clinical disease activity score [CDAI]).

    - To evaluate the long-term effects of ABX464 on the Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO), Healthy Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue;

    - To evaluate the long-term effects of ABX464 on the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20/50/70 response and each of its components and the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response (based on DAS28-CRP response).

    - To evaluate the expression of miR-124 in total blood (determined by qPCR) at Week 52 and 104.

    Echocardiography:
    - To evaluate the effect of ABX464 in cardiac function as assessed through echocardiograms.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    A patient will be eligible to participate in this study if ALL the following criteria are met:

    - Patients previously enrolled in the ABX464-301 clinical study who have completed the ABX464-301 study;

    - Patients are able and willing to comply with study visits and procedures as per protocol;

    - Patients should understand, sign and date the written voluntary informed consent form at the enrolment visit prior to any protocol-specific procedures are performed;

    - Females and males receiving the study treatment and their partners must agree to use a highly effective contraceptive method during the study and for 6 months after end of study or early termination. Contraception should be in place at least 2 weeks prior to study participation. Women must be surgically sterile or if of childbearing potential must use a highly effective contraceptive method. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) will enter the study after confirmed menstrual period and a negative pregnancy test. Highly effective methods of contraception include true abstinence, intrauterine device (IUD) or hormonal contraception aiming at inhibition of ovulation, intrauterine hormone releasing system, bilateral tubal ligation, vasectomized partner. True abstinence is defined when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. In each case of delayed menstrual period (over one month between menstruations) confirmation of absence of pregnancy is required. This recommendation also applies to WOCBP with infrequent or irregular menstrual cycle. Female and male patients must not be planning pregnancy and male patients should use condom and must not donate sperm during the trial and for 6 months post completion of their participation in the trial.

    Criteria that should be met by patients at week 52 to be eligible for 52 additional weeks of study treatment.
    - Patients should be in clinical response. Clinical response is defined as: DAS28-CRP ≤ 2,6 for anti-TNFα naïve patients or DAS-28-CRP ≤ 3,2 for patients previously treated by anti-TNFα.
    - Patients able and willing to continue the study treatment and who are compliant with study visits and procedures and who signed the update of the written voluntary informed consent form
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    The following criteria should be checked at the time of screening. If ANY exclusion criterion applies, the patient will not be included in the study:

    - Any condition, which in the opinion of the investigator, could compromise the patient's safety or adherence to the study protocol.
