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   44207   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7332   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    - To compare the efficacy of branebrutinib with PBO at Week 24 in the treatment of subjects with SLE and pSS. - To compare the efficacy of branebrutinib with PBO at Week 12 in the treatment of subjects with moderate to severe RA on a stable background of MTX who have had an inadequate response to MTX
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all International Conference on Harmonization Good Clinical Practice Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial participants were followed.

    End point title
    The Percent of Participants with mCLASI Response at Week 24 and Corticosteroid (CS) < 10 mg/day at Week 20 and Week 24 - SLE [1]
    End point description
    mCLASI response is defined as a decrease of ≥ 50% from baseline mCLASI activity score, in participants with a baseline mCLASI activity score ≥ 10, at Week 24. Baseline values are defined as the last nonmissing value prior to the first dose of study treatment. To be considered as meeting the second criterion, the CS (prednisone or equivalent) dose had to remain stable and ≤ 10 mg from Week 16 until Week 24. The modified CLASI (mCLASI) is defined as the activity portions of CLASI that describe skin erythema and scale/hypertrophy and inflammation of the scalp. The percentage of patients who entered the study with a positive mCLASI activity score (≥ 10) and who achieved a ≥ 50% decrease from baseline at Week 24 is considered to likely represent a clinically meaningful improvement. The scores are calculated by simple addition based on the extent of the symptoms. mCLASI: Modified Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index

    Change from Baseline in SLEDAI-2K Score at Week 24 - SLE [4]
    End point description
    The SLEDAI-2K is a global index providing a total score of overall disease activity ranging from 0 to 105, with higher scores representing more active disease. The SLEDAI index includes 24 items divided into 9 organ systems: neurological, musculoskeletal, renal, mucocutaneous, general, heart, respiratory, vascular, and hematological. Each item is scored based on the severity of the symptom or finding, with higher scores indicating more severe disease activity. The weighted scores for each item range from 0 to 8. To calculate the SLEDAI-2K score, the scores for each of the 24 items are added together. Baseline values are defined as the last nonmissing value prior to the first dose of study treatment.

    BILAG-based composite lupus assessment (BICLA) response is defined as: 1. At least one gradation of improvement in baseline BILAG scores in all body systems with moderate or severe disease activity at entry 2. No new BILAG A or more than one new BILAG B scores 3. No worsening of total SLEDAI score from baseline 4. No significant deterioration (< 10%) in PGA and 5. No treatment failure (initiation of nonprotocol treatment).

    End point description
    The Disease Activity Score-28-C-Reactive Protein (DAS28CRP) is a composite outcome assessment that measures: 1) How many joints in the hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, and knees are swollen and/or tender over a total of 28, 2) CRP in the blood to measure the degree of inflammation, and 3) SGA of disease activity. DAS28-CRP scores range from 1.0 to 9.4, where lower scores indicate less disease activity. The results are combined to produce the DAS28-CRP score, which correlates with the extent of disease activity: < 2.6: Disease remission 2.6 – 3.2: Low disease activity 3.2 – 5.1: Moderate disease activity > 5.1: High disease activity A negative change from baseline in DAS28-CRP indicates an improvement.
