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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. 18 years of age or older, at the time of signing the informed consent.
    2. A diagnosis of ALS, defined as meeting the possible, laboratory-supported probable, probable, or definite criteria for a diagnosis of ALS according to the revised World Federation of Neurology El Escorial criteria. Patients diagnosed with either sporadic or familial ALS are eligible for enrollment.
    3. ALS onset, defined as time of onset of first muscle weakness (eg, limb weakness, dysarthria, dysphagia, shortness of breath), ≤ 36 months from the Screening Visit.
    4. Prestudy ALSFRS-R progression between disease onset and screening of -0.3 points per month or worse (calculated by ALSFRS-R total score decline from 48 divided by the months since onset of ALS symptoms).
    5. Upright SVC ≥ 65% predicted at Screening.
    6. Vaccinated against N. meningitidis within 3 years prior to, or at the time of, initiating ravulizumab. Patients who initiate study drug treatment less than 2 weeks after receiving a meningococcal vaccine must receive appropriate prophylactic antibiotics until 2 weeks after the vaccination.
    7. Patients who enter the trial receiving standard of care for ALS (ie, riluzole and/or edaravone), either in combination or monotherapy, must be on a stable dosing regimen of adequate duration prior to screening with no plan to discontinue or to change the dose during the study period as follows:
    -If a patient who enters the study is receiving riluzole, the patient must have been on a stable dose of riluzole for ≥ 30 days prior to Day 1.
    -If a patient who enters the study is receiving edaravone, the patient must have initiated edaravone ≥ 60 days (2 treatment cycles) prior to Day 1.
    Note: Patients who are naïve to ALS therapies or have not taken approved ALS therapies for at least 30 days before screening are allowed to enroll.
    8. Body weight ≥ 40 kg at Screening.
    9. Male and/or female
    -Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
    10. Capable of giving written or verbal informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. History of N. meningitidis infection.
    2. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (evidenced by HIV-1 or HIV-2 antibody titer).

    6. Hypersensitivity to murine proteins or to 1 of the excipients of ravulizumab.
    7. Dependence on invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation. Dependence on mechanical ventilation is defined as being unable to lie flat (supine) without it, unable to sleep without it, or daytime use > 6 hours per day for > 3 days per week. Non-invasive ventilation for sleep apnea is allowed subject to discussion with Medical Monitor.
    8. Any medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might interfere with the patient’s participation in the trial, poses any added risk for the patient, or confounds the assessment of the patient.
    9. The presence of unstable psychiatric disease or dementia that might interfere with the patient’s participation in the trial, poses any added risk for the patient, or confounds the assessment of the patient.
    10. History of drug and/or alcohol abuse (according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) within 1 year of screening that would limit patient participation in the study as determined by the Investigator.
    11. History of Parkinson’s disease, myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, or any other neurological disorder that may confound the diagnosis or assessment of the patient as determined by the Investigator.
