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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7292   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 ).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    487 participants from 51 sites in 6 countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and United Kingdom) were randomised in this trial. The first participant was screened on 10-May-2021 and the last participant completed the trial on 31-Oct-2022.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    566 participants were screened in this trial. Of these, 79 participants (14.0%) were excluded prior to randomisation. The main reason for exclusion prior to randomisation was screening failure (11.1%).

    Primary analysis of primary estimand 'composite'. The percentage change from baseline was analysed using an ANCOVA model with effects of treatment group, region, baseline IGA-CHE score, and baseline HESCI value. Missing data for subjects who did not attend the visit was imputed as WOCF (including baseline value). For subjects who received rescue treatment or subjects who have permanently discontinued the IMP, observed data was considered non-response by using WOCF (including baseline value).

    HESD is a 6-item PRO instrument designed to assess severity of CHE signs and symptoms. Participants assess the worst severity of 6 individual signs and symptoms of CHE over the past 24 hours using an 11-point numeric rating scale with anchors of 0 =‘no (symptom)’ and 10 =‘severe (symptom)’. The HESD score is derived as an average of the 6 items.

    HESD is a 6-item PRO instrument designed to assess severity of CHE signs and symptoms. Participants assess the worst severity of 6 individual signs and symptoms of CHE over the past 24 hours using an 11-point numeric rating scale with anchors of 0 =‘no (symptom)’ and 10 =‘severe (symptom)’. The HESD score is derived as an average of the 6 items.

    Statistical analysis description
    Based on the primary analysis of the primary estimand 'composite'. The difference in response rates between delgocitinib cream 20 mg/g and cream vehicle was analysed using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test stratified by region and disease severity (baseline IGA-CHE score). Subjects with missing data, subjects who received rescue treatment, or subjects who permanently discontinued IMP were considered non-responders.

    Reduction of Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score of ≥4 points from baseline at Week 16.
    End point description
    DLQI is a validated questionnaire with content specific to those with dermatologic conditions. It consists of 10 items addressing the participant’s perception of the impact of their skin disease on different aspects of their quality of life over the last week. Each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 = ‘not at all ⁄not relevant’ to 3 = ‘very much’. The DLQI score is the sum of the 10 items (score ranging from 0 to 30); a high score is indicative of a poor quality of life.

    HEIS includes 9 items addressing the participant’s perception of the impact of hand eczema on their daily activities, embarrassment, frustration, sleep, work, and physical functioning over the past 7 days. Each item is scored on a 5-point scale ranging from 0=‘not at all’ to 4=‘extremely’. The HEIS score is the average of the 9 items. The highest possible score is 4, and a high score is indicative of a high impact. 6 domain scores can be calculated for HEIS: Proximal Daily Activity Limitations (PDAL) (average of 3 items), embarrassment with the appearance of the hands (average of 2 items), frustration with CHE (1 item), sleep (1 item), work (1 item), and physical functioning (1 item).
