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   43925   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7306   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 evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab administered concomitantly with topical corticosteroids (TCS).
    Protection of trial subjects
    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 may have been used to minimize distress and discomfort.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study was conducted at 19 centers in Japan. A total of 75 participants were screened from 15 February 2021 to 02 August 2021, of which 13 were screen failures. Screen failures were mainly due to not meeting inclusion criteria.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    62 participants were randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive dupilumab or placebo in randomization treatment period.Randomization was stratified by age categories:≥6 months-<6 years,≥6 years-<12 years,≥12 years.For age group of ≥6 years-<12 years,randomization was further stratified by baseline Investigator's Global Assessment(IGA) score(3 versus 4).

    Percentage of Participants With Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI)-75 (≥75% Improvement From Baseline EASI) at Week 16
    End point description
    EASI score was a validated measure used to assess severity and extent of atopic dermatitis (AD). The 4 AD disease characteristics (erythema, thickness [induration, papulation, edema], scratching [excoriation], lichenification) were assessed for severity on scale of 0 (absent) to 3 (severe). Area of AD involvement was assessed as percentage by body area of head, trunk, upper limbs, lower limbs, and converted to score of 0 to 6. In each body region, area was expressed as 0, 1 (1% to 9%), 2 (10% to 29%), 3 (30% to 49%), 4 (50% to 69%), 5 (70% to 89%), or 6 (90% to 100%). For each body region, EASI score = (sum of the 4 AD disease characteristics scores) multiplied by (area of AD involvement score). Total EASI score ranged from 0 to 72, higher scores indicated increased extent and severity of AD. The Intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all randomized participants analyzed according to treatment group allocated by randomization regardless if the treatment kit was used or not.

    Percent Change From Baseline to Week 16 in Weekly Average of Daily Worst Itch Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for Participants Aged ≥6 Years to <12 Years old
    End point description
    The worst itch scale was a simple assessment tool used to report the intensity of their pruritus (itch). This was a 11-point scale (0 to 10) in which 0 indicated no itching while 10 indicated worst itching possible, and higher scores indicated greater severity. Participants were asked the following 2 questions: “What was the worst itch you had today?” and “What was the worst itch you had last night?”. The daily worst itch score was calculated as the worse of the scores for the 2 questions. Baseline worst itch average score for maximum itch intensity was determined based on the average of daily worst itch scores for maximum itch intensity during the 7 days immediately preceding randomization. The baseline value was defined as the last available value before study drug administration. Only participants from ITT population aged ≥6 years to <12 years old with data available were analyzed.

    The IGA was a static 5-point assessment instrument used in clinical studies to rate the severity of AD globally. The ratings (0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = severe) were an overall assessment of the skin lesions based on erythema and papulation/infiltration. Higher score indicated more severe disease. The ITT population included all randomized participants analyzed according to the treatment group allocated by randomization regardless if the treatment kit was used or not.

    The peak pruritus NRS was a simple assessment tool used report the intensity of their pruritus (itch) during a 24-hour recall period. Participants were asked the following question: For maximum itch intensity: “On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being ‘no itch’ and 10 being the ‘worst itch imaginable’, how would you rate your itch at the worst moment during the previous 24 hours?”. Participants answered the question on the scale of 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst itch imaginable), where higher scores indicated greater severity. Baseline pruritus NRS average score for maximum itch intensity was determined based on the average of daily NRS scores for maximum itch intensity during the 7 days immediately preceding randomization. The baseline value was defined as the last available value before study drug administration. Only participants from ITT population aged ≥12 years to <18 years old were analyzed.

    EASI score was a validated measure used to assess severity and extent of AD. The 4 AD disease characteristics (erythema, thickness [induration, papulation, edema], scratching [excoriation], lichenification) were assessed for severity on scale of 0 (absent) to 3 (severe). Area of AD involvement was assessed as percentage by body area of head, trunk, upper limbs, lower limbs, and converted to score of 0 to 6. In each body region, area was expressed as 0, 1 (1% to 9%), 2 (10% to 29%), 3 (30% to 49%), 4 (50% to 69%), 5 (70% to 89%), or 6 (90% to 100%). For each body region, EASI score = (sum of the 4 AD disease characteristics scores) multiplied by (area of AD involvement score). Total EASI score ranged from 0 to 72, higher scores indicated increased extent and severity of AD. The ITT population included all randomized participants analyzed according to the treatment group allocated by randomization regardless if the treatment kit was used or not.

    CDLQI was a validated questionnaire designed to measure impact of skin disease on Quality of Life (QOL) in children aged ≥4 years of age. To complete the questionnaire, participants provided responses to 10 questions that focused on domains such as symptoms feelings associated with disease, impact of disease on leisure, school or holidays, personal relationships, sleep, and side effects of treatment for the skin disease. 9 questions were scored as follows: Very much = 3, Quite a lot = 2, Only a little = 1, Not at all or unanswered = 0. Question 7 had an added possible response, which was scored as 3. CDLQI for a participant is sum of score of each question with maximum of 30 and minimum of 0. Higher score indicated greater impact on the QOL. The baseline value was defined as the last available value before study drug administration. Only participants from ITT population aged ≥4 years old with data available were analyzed.

    IDQOL was a validated questionnaire developed to measure the impact of skin disease on QOL of infants and preschool children <4 years of age. IDQOL was completed by child’s parent or caregiver. The questionnaire consisted of 10 questions related to itching and scratching; mood of the child; how long it took for the child to get to sleep; whether the eczema had interfered with the child’s playing, swimming or participation in other family activities; problems during mealtimes; problems caused by treatment; level of comfort while dressing or undressing the child; and problems during bathing. Each question asked about the impact over the previous week and was scored on a scale of 0 (minimum impact) to 3 (maximum impact). The higher the score, the greater was the impact on QOL. The baseline value was defined as the last available value before study drug administration. Only participants from ITT population aged <4 years old were analyzed.
