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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 main objective of this trial was to demonstrate that spesolimab is effective in maintaining Symptomatic Stenosis Response and / or inducing Radiographic Stenosis Response in patients with symptomatic Crohn’s Disease (CD)-related small bowel stenosis, who have achieved Symptomatic Stenosis Response after standard medical therapy.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were to be entered in the study. All subjects were free to withdraw from the clinical trial at any time for any reason given. Close monitoring of all subjects was adhered to throughout the trial conduct. Rescue medication was allowed for all subjects as required.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The trial was designed to have a Lead-in Period where background medication is optimized, a Randomized Blinded Treatment Period where patients would have been randomized to spesolimab or placebo and a Follow-up Period. The trial was terminated when 5 patients had entered the Lead-in period. No patient was randomized to spesolimab or placebo.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    All subjects who entered the Lead-in period were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial. Subjects attended a specialist site which ensured that they (the subjects) strictly met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria. Subjects were not to be allocated to a treatment group if any of the entry criteria were violated.

    Arm description
    Fibrostenotic Crohn’s Disease patients who were eligible to enter the Lead-In period of the trial were planned to receive during the Lead-In Period standard medical treatment which included 2 weeks of corticosteroids to be tapered according to a standardized 8 week regimen and individual optimization of anti-inflammatory biological treatment. After 8 weeks of optimized biological anti-inflammatory therapy would have been completed, only patients who would have achieved a Symptomatic Stenosis Response and an absent or mild-to-moderate colonic endoscopic activity (colonic Simple Endoscopic Score in Crohn’s Disease (SES-CD) ≤12) would have been eligible for randomization into the Blinded Treatment Period.

    Enrolled patients were administered 2 weeks of short-term corticosteroids with subsequent tapering at the beginning of the Lead-in period, i.e. when the patient was enrolled in the acute episode of the disease. No one of the enrolled patients, reached the point of 8-weeks optimized biological treatment during the Lead-In period.
