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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab in study participants with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) who remain symptomatic despite the use of H1 antihistamine (Study A and Study C: omalizumab naïve; Study B: omalizumab intolerant or incomplete responders).
    Protection of trial subjects
    For pediatrics: The study was conducted by investigators experienced in the treatment of pediatric participants. The parent(s) or guardian(s) as well as the children were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time. In addition to the consent form for the parent(s)/guardian(s), an assent form in child-appropriate language was provided and explained to the child. Repeated invasive procedures were minimized. The number of blood samples as well as the amount of blood drawn were adjusted according to age and weight. A topical anesthesia might have been used to minimize distress and discomfort. For adults: Participants were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time in language and terms appropriate for the participant and considering the local culture. During the course of the trial, participants were provided with individual participant cards indicating the nature of the trial the participant is participating, contact details and any information needed in the event of a medical emergency. Collected personal data and human biological samples were processed in compliance with the Sanofi-Aventis Group Personal Data Protection Charter ensuring that the Group abides by the laws governing personal data protection in force in all countries in which it operates.

    Change From Baseline in Weekly Urticaria Activity Score at Week 24
    End point description
    UAS is a validated composite patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure for assessing CSU. The once daily UAS is the sum of the daily HSS and daily ISS recorded in e-diary. Daily HSS assesses number of wheals and range from 0 (none) to 3 (more than 50 hives) whereas daily ISS assesses itch intensity and range from 0 (none) to 3 (intense). The daily UAS scores range from 0 to 6 point/day. Once daily UAS scores are summed over 7-day period to create the UAS7 with an overall scale of 0 (no urticaria) to 42 (severe urticaria). Higher scores indicate greater severity of urticaria symptoms. Least squares (LS) mean is presented. Baseline was defined as the sum of the daily scores for the 7 days prior to the day of randomization. The intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all randomized participants analyzed according to the intervention group allocated by randomization.

    UAS is a validated composite PRO measure for assessing CSU activity. The once daily UAS is the sum of the daily HSS and daily ISS recorded in e-diary. Daily HSS assesses number of wheals and range from 0 (none) to 3 (more than 50 hives) whereas daily ISS assesses itch intensity and range from 0 (none) to 3 (intense). The daily UAS scores range from 0 to 6 point/day. Once daily UAS scores are summed over 7-day period to create the UAS7 with an overall scale of 0 (no urticaria) to 42 (severe urticaria). Higher scores indicate greater severity of urticaria symptoms. In evaluating urticaria control using UAS7, an UAS7 score of <=6 indicated a well-controlled urticaria. The ITT population included all randomized participants analyzed according to the intervention group allocated by randomization.

    The UCT assessed urticaria control based on 4 items (severity of pruritus and wheals urticaria symptoms; frequency of treatment being not sufficient; quality-of-life [QoL] impairment; overall urticarial control). Each item was rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale from 0 (no control) to 4 (maximum control). The overall UCT score was the sum of all 4 individual item scores with a range of 0 (no disease control) to 16 (complete disease control). Higher scores indicated greater disease control. LS mean is presented. Baseline was defined as the last available value up to randomization date and prior to the first dose of study intervention.

    End point description
    UAS is a validated composite PRO measure for assessing CSU activity. The once daily UAS is the sum of the daily HSS and daily ISS recorded in e-diary. Daily HSS assesses number of wheals and range from 0 (none) to 3 (more than 50 hives) whereas daily ISS assesses itch intensity and range from 0 (none) to 3 (intense). The daily UAS scores range from 0 to 6 point/day. Once daily UAS scores are summed over 7-day period to create the UAS7 with an overall scale of 0 (no urticaria) to 42 (severe urticaria). Higher scores indicate greater severity of urticaria symptoms. LS mean is presented. Baseline was defined as the sum of the daily scores for the 7 days prior to the day of randomization. The ITT population included all randomized participants analyzed according to the intervention group allocated by randomization.

    AAS is a diary in which participants document on daily basis presence or absence of angioedema during past 24 hours. If angioedema is present, participants answer 5 additional questions about time of day swelling episode occurred and severity and impact on daily functioning and appearance this swelling episode has had. Each AAS item is scored between 0 (minimum) and 3 (maximum). Daily AASs range from (no episodes) to 15 (severe episodes) points.AAS7 score is sum of daily AAS scores reported by participant at same time of each day over 7 days, with range of 0 (no angioedema episodes) to 105 (highest angioedema severity). Higher scores indicate greater angioedema activity. Mean is presented. Baseline: sum of the daily scores for the 7 days prior to the day of randomization. Analysis was performed on ITT population. Only those participants with angioedema at baseline and with data collected at specified timepoints are reported. Here, n=participants analyzed for specified category.

    Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria at Weeks 12 and 24
    End point description
    The PGIC is a 1-item questionnaire that asks the participant to provide the overall self-assessment of change in their CSU on a 7-point scale compared to just before participant started taking the study intervention. Response choices are: 0 (very much better), 1 (moderately better), 2 (a little better), 3 (no change), 4 (a little worse), 5 (moderately worse), 6 (very much worse). Higher score indicate worsening. The ITT population included all randomized participants analyzed according to the intervention group allocated by randomization. Only those participants with data collected at Weeks 12 and 24 are reported. Here, n=participants analyzed for specified category.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    30 Apr 2020
    The primary purpose of this amendment was to increase the sample size of Study A (omalizumab naïve population) based on recommendation from Food and Drug Administration to power the studies using conservative assumptions with regards to intervention effect and variability and to include children aged >=6 to <12 years (for Study A only), and to switch the primary and the key secondary endpoints to establish UAS7 as the primary endpoint for European Union (EU) and EU reference countries based on recommendations from European Medicines Agency.
    29 Apr 2021
    The primary purpose of this amendment was to plan for an interim analysis for Study B when 80 randomized participants would have completed their 24-week intervention period.
    17 Mar 2022
    The primary purpose of this amendment was to conduct a Study C with a study population and design similar to the completed Study A to meet Health Authority requirements to provide data from 2 adequate and well-controlled clinical trials to support filing of a marketing application. In addition, key Study A results and information on the Study B prespecified interim analysis outcome were added to this amended protocol.
