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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    - Subject has provided informed consent prior to initiation of any study specific activities/procedures
    - Age >= 18 years to 75 years at screening
    - Fulfills classification criteria for SLE according to the 2019 European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria for SLE (Aringer et al, 2019), with antinuclear antibody >= 1:80 by immunofluorescence on Hep-2 cells being present at screening. AntidsDNA results based on the Phadia method will be used for SLE classification criteria and for the purposes of hSLEDAI scoring during screening and throughout the study
    - Hybrid SLEDAI score >= 6 points with a "Clinical" hSLEDAI score >= 4 points. The "Clinical" hSLEDAI is the hSLEDAI assessment score without the inclusion of points attributable to laboratory results, including urine and immunologic parameters. Including the following protocol specific rules: - Arthritis: for hSLEDAI scoring purposes, arthritis must involve small joints in the hands or wrists. - Alopecia: subjects should have hair loss without scarring; should neither have alopecia areata nor androgenic alopecia; and should have a CLASI activity score for alopecia >= 2. - Oral ulcers: ulcers location and appearance must be documented by the investigator. - Scleritis and episcleritis: the presence of stable SLE-related scleritis and episcleritis (ie, that will likely not require initiation/increase in immunosuppressants/immunomodulators as outlined in the inclusion/exclusion criteria) must be documented by an ophthalmologist and other causes excluded. - Renal: subjects with urine protein/creatinine ratio < 3000 mg/g (or equivalent) in a clean catch spot urine sample can enroll and be scored in the hSLEDAI, provided the subject has a clinical hSLEDAI >= 4. - Pleurisy and Pericarditis: symptoms of pleurisy and pericarditis must be accompanied by objective findings to be scored in the hSLEDAI

    *Please refer to protocol for the full list
    - I soggetti hanno fornito il consenso informato prima di iniziare qualsiasi attività/procedura studio specifica
    - Età >=18 anni fino a 75 anni al momento dello screening
    - Soddisfare i criteri di classificazione del LES in accordo ai criteri di classificazione per il LES del 2019 dell'European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) con anticorpi antinucleo >=1:80 rilevati tramite immunofluorescenza su cellule Hep-2 allo screening. I risultati di AntidsDNA basati sul metodo Phadia vengono utilizzati per i criteri di classificazione del LES e ai fini del punteggio hSLEDAI durante lo screening e durante lo studio
    - Punteggio hSLEDAI >=6 punti con un punteggio hSLEDAI clinico >=4 punti. Il punteggio hSLEDAI "clinico" corrisponde alla valutazione del punteggio hSLEDAI senza l'inclusione di punti attribuibili ai risultati di laboratorio, inclusa l'urina e parametri immunologici. Comprese le seguenti regole protocollo specifiche: - Artrite: ai fini del punteggio hSLEDAI, l'artrite deve coinvolgere articolazioni piccole delle mani o dei polsi. - Alopecia: i soggetti devono presentare caduta dei capelli senza cicatrici; non devono presentare né alopecia areata né alopecia androgenetica; e dovrebbero avere un punteggio di attività CLASI per l'alopecia >= 2. - Ulcere orali: la posizione e l'aspetto delle ulcere devono essere documentate dall'investigatore. - Sclerite e episclerite: la presenza di sclerite ed episclerite stabile correlata al LES (cioè, che probabilmente non richiederanno inizio/aumento di immunosoppressori/immunomodulatori come delineati nei criteri di inclusione/esclusione) devono essere documentati da un oftalmologo e devono essere escluse altre cause. Renale: i soggetti con rapporto proteina dell'urina/creatinina <3000mg/g (o equivalente) in un campione pulito di urina possono essere arruolati e valutati nel hSLEDAI, e il soggetto ha un hSLEDAI clinico >= 4. - Pleurite e pericardite: sintomi
    di pleurite e pericardite devono essere accompagnati da riscontri oggettivi per essere valutati nel hSLEDAI.

    *Fare riferimento al protocollo per la lista completa
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    - Lupus nephritis with urine protein creatinine ratio > 3000 mg/g at screening or having required induction therapy within 1 year prior to screening.
    - Active CNS lupus within 1 year prior to screening including, but not limited to, aseptic meningitis, ataxia, CNS vasculitis, cranial neuropathy, demyelinating syndrome, optic neuritis, psychosis, seizures, or transverse myelitis.
    Other Medical Conditions:
    - Currently present or within 1 year prior to screening a diagnosis of any inflammatory joint or skin disease other than SLE which would interfere with SLE disease assessment based on investigator judgement.
    - History of any disease other than SLE that has required treatment with oral or parenteral corticosteroids for > 2 weeks within 4 months prior to screening.
    - Active infection for which anti-infectives were indicated within 4 weeks prior to screening visit OR presence of serious infection, defined as requiring hospitalization or intravenous anti-infectives within 8 weeks prior to screening visit.
    - Active tuberculosis or latent tuberculosis with no documented past history of adequate treatment per local standard of care.

    *Please refer to the protocol for the full list
    - Nefrite da lupus con rapporto di creatinina proteica urinaria> 3000 mg / g allo screening o che ha richiesto una terapia di induzione entro 1 anno prima dello screening.
    - Lupus attivo del SNC entro 1 anno prima dello screening inclusi, ma non limitati a, meningite asettica, atassia, vasculite del SNC, neuropatia cranica, sindrome demielinizzante, neurite ottica, psicosi, convulsioni o mielite trasversa.
    Altre condizioni mediche:
    - Diagnosi attualmente presente o entro 1 anno prima dello screening di qualsiasi malattia infiammatoria articolare o della pelle diversa dal LES che interferirebbe con la valutazione della malattia LES sulla base del giudizio dello sperimentatore.
    - Storia di qualsiasi malattia diversa dal LES che abbia richiesto un trattamento con corticosteroidi orali o parenterali per> 2 settimane entro 4 mesi prima dello screening.
    - Infezione attiva per la quale gli antinfettivi sono stati indicati entro 4 settimane prima della visita di screening OPPURE presenza di infezione grave, definita come la necessità di ricovero in ospedale o di antinfettivi per via endovenosa entro 8 settimane prima della visita di screening.
    - Tubercolosi attiva o tubercolosi latente senza anamnesi passata documentata di trattamento adeguato secondo lo standard di cura locale.
