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 was to demonstrate similarity of pharmacokinetics (PK) in participants with multiple switches between ustekinumab RP and ABP 654 compared to participants receiving continued use of ustekinumab RP.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Council for Harmonisation Good Clinical Practice Guideline E6 (R1)/Integrated Addendum E6 (R2); 21 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 50, 56, and 312; requirements for the conduct of clinical studies as provided in the European Union Directive 2001/20/EC; the consensus ethical principles derived from international guidelines, including the Declaration of Helsinki and Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences International Ethical Guidelines; and all applicable laws and regulatory requirements.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 Participants were enrolled at 87 study centers in 8 countries, including Canada, Estonia, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Poland, and the United States, and participated from 24 March 2021 to 28 February 2023.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 Participants with plaque psoriasis were randomized at week 28 to 1 of 2 treatment groups following a run-in period. Randomization was stratified by prior biologic use for psoriasis at baseline, geographic region, and body weight group at baseline. Dosage was weight-based to ensure similar concentration by body weight received.

At week 28, eligible participants with a 50% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 50) response or better were randomized to the continued-use group (ustekinumab RP) or the switching group (ustekinumab RP and ABP 654).

    Notes
    [1] - Period 1 is not the baseline period. It is expected that period 1 will be the baseline period.
    Justification: In Period 2, eligible participants were randomized to treatment and this was considered the baseline period.

    Notes
    [2] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline 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 participants included in the worldwide number enrolled aligns with the number of participants who entered the run-in period.

    Secondary: PASI Percent Improvement From Baseline at Week 64

    		 PASI Percent Improvement From Baseline at Week 64
    End point description
    The PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness, and scaliness, each graded on a 0 to 4 scale, weighted by the area of involvement. PASI combines the assessment of the severity and the area affected into a single score in the range 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). PASI percent improvement is defined as 100 x (value at baseline - value at post-baseline visit)/value at baseline. A positive value indicates PASI improvement. Baseline data were derived based on observed data and at week 64 were derived based on multiple imputation (MI) data. Baseline was the last non-missing assessment prior to the first dose of IP. The per-protocol efficacy analysis set included all participants who were randomized and received all 3 doses of the assigned IP between week 28 and week 52 and did not experience an important protocol deviation that could affect the evaluation of the efficacy endpoints. The participants analyzed includes those imputed by MI as well as those with observed data.

PASI combines assessment of the severity and the area affected into a single score in the range 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). PASI response was defined as a participant meeting/surpassing a pre-specified threshold for percent improvement in PASI score compared to baseline. A participant with ≥ 100% improvement was a PASI 100 responder. Missing PASI 100 responses at week 64 were imputed by NRI. Baseline was the last non-missing assessment taken prior to the first dose of IP.
