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.

    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    At certain sites, where feasible, representative photographs of the changes in skin will be captured. Photographs will be anonymized. This is optional for study participants who participated in the photography substudy in one of the feeder studies only, and requires a separate informed consent. A decision not to consent does not exclude the study participant from the study.
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    - Study participant has completed the Maintenance Treatment Period through Week 48 in HS0003 (NCT04242446) or HS0004 (NCT04242498), was eligible to receive bimekizumab at the time of completing the feeder study, and did not meet any withdrawal criteria of the feeder study
    - Study participant is considered reliable and capable of adhering to the protocol (eg, able to understand and complete questionnaires), visit schedule, and medication intake according to the judgement of the Investigator
    - A female study participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
    a) Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP)

    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    - Female study participant who is breastfeeding, pregnant, or plans to become pregnant during the study or within 20 weeks following the final dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP)
    - Study participant has any medical or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could jeopardize or would compromise the participant’s ability to participate in this study as determined by the Investigator based on protocol required assessments
    Note: For any study participant with an ongoing serious adverse event (SAE) from HS0003 (NCT04242446) or HS0004 (NCT04242498), or any current sign or symptom that may indicate a medically significant active infection (except for the common cold) or has had an infection requiring systemic antibiotics within 2 weeks of study entry or a history of serious infections in HS0003 or HS0004, the Medical Monitor must be consulted prior to the study participant’s entry into HS0005, although the decision on whether to enroll the participant remains with the Investigator.
    - Study participant has a positive or indeterminate interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) in a feeder study, unless appropriately evaluated and treated
    - Study participant has ongoing or planned use of prohibited hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) or non-HS treatment
