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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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.

    Screening details
    Of the 540 participants screened, 353 participants were enrolled/randomized. One participant was randomized to Placebo and received placebo in the double-blind (DB) period but was summarized in the Fremanezumab treatment group in all safety summaries due to an error in recording treatment.

Monthly averages were derived and normalized to 28 days equivalent by formula: (number of days of efficacy variable over 12-week/number of days with assessments recorded in e-diary for 12-week)*28. Least square (LS) mean was calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).

    Change from Baseline in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 (HAM-D 17) Items Total Score at Week 8
    End point description
    HAM-D 17 is a list of 17 items used to determine participant’s level of depression. HAM-D total score comprises a sum of 17 individual item scores. 8 items scored in a range of 0 (none/absent) to 2 (severe symptom) include: Insomnia (early, middle, late), somatic symptoms (gastrointestinal and general), genital symptoms, loss of weight, and insight. The following 9 items are scored in a range of 0 (none/absent) to 4 (severe symptom): Agitation, depressed mood, feelings of guilt, suicide, work and activities, retardation, anxiety (psychic and somatic), and hypochondriasis. HAM-D17 total score is calculated as the sum of 17 individual symptom scores; total score can range from 0 to 52. Higher scores indicate more severe depression. LS mean was calculated using mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM). DB mITT analysis set: all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had at least 10 days of postrandomization efficacy assessment on primary endpoint.

    Change from Baseline in Migraine-Specific Quality of Life (MSQoL) Questionnaire Role Function-Restrictive and Role Function-Preventive Domain Scores at Week 12
    End point description
    MSQoL v2.1 is a 14-item questionnaire. Each item is scored on a 6-point scale: 1=none of the time to 6=all of the time. MSQoL measures the degree to which performance of normal activities is limited by migraine (Role Function-Restrictive domain comprising 7 items; score range 7 to 42), the degree to which performance of normal activities is prevented by migraine (Role Function-Preventive domain comprising 4 items; score range 4 to 24), and emotional effects of migraine (Emotional Function domain comprising 3 items; score range 3 to 18). Total raw scores for each domain is the sum of final item value for all of the items in that domain. Total raw score for each domain are transformed to a 0-100 scale with higher scores indicating a better health-related quality of life. LS mean was calculated using MMRM. DB mITT analysis set: all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had at least 10 days of postrandomization efficacy assessment on primary endpoint.

    Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression – Severity (CGI-S) Scale Score at Weeks 4, 8, and 12
    End point description
    The CGI-S is a short questionnaire filled out by the investigator that rates a participant’s mental health from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill participants). DB mITT analysis set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had at least 10 days of postrandomization efficacy assessment on the primary endpoint.

    Change From Baseline in 6-Item Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) Disability Score at Week 12
    End point description
    Migraine related disability was assessed using the HIT-6. The questionnaire measures the adverse impact of headache on social functioning, role functioning, vitality, cognitive functioning, and psychological distress. It also assesses headache severity. Each question was answered on the scale ranging with the following response options: 6 points (never), 8 points (rarely), 10 points (sometimes), 11 points (very often), and 13 points (always). The total score was obtained from summation of the 6 question points. The HIT-6 total score ranges between 36 and 78, with higher scores reflecting greater impact. DB mITT analysis set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had at least 10 days of postrandomization efficacy assessment on the primary endpoint.

    Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
    End point description
    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Serious AEs (SAEs) were defined as death, a life-threatening AE, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or an important medical event that jeopardized participant and required medical intervention to prevent 1 of the outcomes listed in this definition. AEs were considered TEAEs if onset occurred on or after the first dose date. A summary of other non-serious AEs and all serious AEs, regardless of causality is located in Reported AE section. DB safety analysis set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug during the DB treatment period. OL safety analysis set included all participants who received at least 1 of dose of study drug during the OL treatment period.
