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   44347   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7375   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 assess the efficacy of daily tolebrutinib compared to a daily dose of 14 milligrams (mg) teriflunomide (Aubagio) measured by the annualized relapse rate (ARR) in participants with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS).
    Protection of trial subjects
    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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 1093 participants were screened from 11-Jun-2020 to 08-Aug-2022, of which 194 were screen failures. Screen failures were mainly due to not meeting eligibility criteria.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 899 participants were randomized in this study in a 1:1 ratio to either teriflunomide 14 mg or tolebrutinib 60 mg group. This was an event-driven (6-month confirmed disability worsening [CDW]) trial with a variable treatment duration (end-of-study [EOS] duration: up to approximately 48 months).

    The MS relapse was defined as a monophasic, acute or subacute onset of new neurological symptoms or worsening of previous neurological symptoms with an objective change on neurological examination. Symptoms were attributable to MS, lasted for >=24 hours with or without recovery, present at normal body temperature, and preceded by >=30 days of clinical stability.

    Time to Onset of 6-Month Confirmed Disability Worsening as Assessed by Expanded Disability Status Scale
    End point description
    The EDSS was a disability scale that assessed the following 7 functional domains: visual, brainstem, pyramidal [motor], cerebellar [coordination], sensory, cerebral, and bowel/bladder. The total EDSS score ranged from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS), increasing in increments of 0.5 points. Higher scores indicated increased disability. Time to onset of 6-month CDW was defined as the time from randomization to the onset of a confirmed, sustained increase from baseline in EDSS score (of >=1.5 points when the baseline score was 0, of >=1.0 point when the baseline score was 0.5 to <=5.5, of >=0.5 points when the baseline EDSS score was >5.5) over at least 6 months that was not attributable to another etiology. The ITT population included all randomized participants according to the intervention group allocated by the randomization, irrespective of the study intervention received.

    Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function as Assessed by the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) at EOS
    End point description
    The SDMT was used to assess processing speed, divided attention, visual scanning, tracking and motor speed. It involved a simple substitution task using a reference key. The number of correct substitutions and number of items completed within a 90 second interval (maximum 110 seconds) were recorded. A decrease of 4 points from baseline on the SDMT was considered meaningful worsening. The score was the number of correctly coded items from 0-110 in 90 seconds; higher scores indicating a better outcome. Baseline was defined as the last available value prior to the first dose of study intervention. Analysis was performed on the ITT population. Only participants with data collected at specified timepoints are reported.

    Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function as Assessed by the California Verbal Learning Test Second Edition (CVLT-II) at EOS
    End point description
    The CVLT-II was a verbal learning and memory test consisting of recall and recognition of a list of 16 words. For each assessment, 5 trials were completed. Total Correct Recall Trials 1–5 was scaled to a normalized T–score metric, which had a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10, the maximum possible score was 80 and a minimum was 0. Higher values indicated improved cognitive function. Baseline was defined as the last available value prior to the first dose of study intervention. The ITT population included all randomized participants according to the intervention group allocated by the randomization, irrespective of the study intervention received. Only participants with data collected at specified timepoints are reported.

    Time to Onset of 6-Month Confirmed Disability Improvement (CDI) as Assessed by Expanded Disability Status Scale
    End point description
    The EDSS was a disability scale that assessed the following 7 functional domains: visual, brainstem, pyramidal [motor], cerebellar [coordination], sensory, cerebral, and bowel/bladder. The total EDSS score ranged from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS), increasing in increments of 0.5 points. Higher scores indicated increased disability. CDI was defined as a decrease of >=1 point from baseline in the EDSS score lasting at least 6 months. The ITT population included all randomized participants according to the intervention group allocated by the randomization, irrespective of the study intervention received.

    MSQoL-54 consisted of 12 subscales & 2 single-item measures(satisfaction with sexual function[1 item]; change in health[1 item]).12 subscales were:a:physical health(10 items), b:health perceptions(5 items), c:energy(5 items), d:role limit physical(4 items), e:sexual function(4 items), f:pain(3 items), g:social function(3 items), h:health distress(4 items), i:overall quality of life(2 items), j:emotional well-being(5 items), k:role limitations emotional(3 items) and l:cognitive function(4 items).Physical & mental health composite score were calculated as weighted sum of 'a to h' & 'i to l' subscales respectively. Each composite score was transformed linearly to common 0(worst) to 100(best) score range;higher score indicated improved QoL. Baseline=last available value prior to first dose of study intervention.Analysis was performed on ITT population.Only participants with data collected at specified timepoints are reported. n=number of participants analyzed for each specified category.

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in participant or clinical study participant, temporally associated with use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to study intervention. SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect or was an important medical event. An AESI was an AE (serious or nonserious) of scientific and medical concern specific to Sponsor’s product or program for which ongoing monitoring and immediate notification by the Investigator to the Sponsor was required. TEAEs were defined as AEs that developed, worsened or became serious during treatment period. Safety population included all randomized participants exposed to study intervention, regardless of amount of exposure, analyzed according to intervention actually received.
