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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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
    The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate that CT-P43 is equivalent to EU-Stelara, in terms of efficacy as determined by the mean percent improvement from baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score at Week 12.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Hypersensitivity reactions will be assessed prior to the study drug administration and 1 hour (±10 minutes) after the end of the study drug administration by additional vital sign measurements including BP, pulse and respiratory rates, and body temperature. If patients have signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity/allergic reactions at home (hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of face, eyes, lips, or mouth or any symptoms of cardiac origin), patients or caregivers should be advised to call the study center or get immediate help. In addition, hypersensitivity will be monitored by routine continuous clinical monitoring including patient-reported signs and symptoms. In case of hypersensitivity, emergency medication and equipment, such as adrenaline, antihistamines, corticosteroids, and respiratory support including inhalational therapy, oxygen, and artificial ventilation must be available and any types of ECG can be performed. For patients who experience or develop life-threatening treatment-related anaphylactic reactions, study drug must be stopped immediately and succeeding doses need to be discontinued.
    Background therapy
    		 -
    Evidence for comparator
    		 CT-P43 has been developed as a proposed biosimilar product to Stelara (ustekinumab), a human IgG1қ monoclonal antibody that binds with high affinity and specificity to the p40 protein subunit used by both the interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-23 cytokines. The purpose of this study is to show that there are no clinical meaningful differences between the two products.

    		 The first patient randomly assigned to study drug: 11 January 2021. The study was conducted at 34 study centers in Estonia, Korea, Poland and Ukraine.

    Pre-assignment

    		 Male or female patient aged 18-80 years with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis (with or without psoriatic arthritis [PsA]) for at least 24 weeks

    Pre-assignment period milestones
    Number of subjects started

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: The 'Number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period' means subjects who consented to participate in this trial through the Screening procedure. If these subjects meet Inclusion and Exclusion criteria defined by the protocol, they can be randomized which will have study drug administration. For this reason, 574 patients were screened and of these 509 patients were met Inclusion and Exclusion criteria and randomized to each arm.

    The equivalence test consisted of patients who are administered at least one 45 mg of study drug and had never received 90 mg of study drug in Treatment Period I. The primary efficacy analysis was conducted on the FAS using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model considering the treatment as a fixed effect and country, baseline body weight, prior biologic use approved for psoriasis treatment and baseline PASI score as covariates.
