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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Subjects who met eligibility criteria at Baseline were randomized in a 2:2:2:1:1 ratio to one of the five treatment groups. At Week 24, subjects who were randomized to placebo at Baseline were switched to either 22 mg (Group 4) or 11 mg (Group 5) upadacitinib in a blinded fashion per pre-specified randomization assignments.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: A total of 185 subjects were randomized and received the study drug (placebo or upadacitinib) in Period 1. A total of 166 subjects completed study drug in Period 1. A total of 166 subjects entered Period 2 and received randomized study drug.

    Total Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (T- VASI)
    The vitiligo area scoring index (VASI) is a validated scoring method used to assess the areas of depigmentation due to vitiligo. It is based on a composite estimate of the overall area of vitiligo patches, measured by the number of hand units (palm plus 5 digits = 1% body surface area [BSA]) multiplied by the degree of depigmentation within each affected area (0%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, or 100%). The T-VASI is calculated using a formula that includes contributions from all body regions, with a possible range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more severe disease.

    The vitiligo area scoring index (VASI) is a validated scoring method used to assess the areas of depigmentation due to vitiligo. The F-VASI includes contributions from the face, with a possible range from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Analysis population: ITT_1: all randomized participants in Period 1, analyzed according to the treatment groups that they were randomized to; NRI-MI (non-responder imputation incorporating multiple imputation to handle missing data due to COVID-19 or any other missing data that can be reasonably assumed to be Missing at Random)

    Percentage of Participants Achieving Total Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (T-VASI) 50 (≥50% Improvement in T-VASI From Baseline) at Week 24
    End point description
    The vitiligo area scoring index (VASI) is a validated scoring method used to assess the areas of depigmentation due to vitiligo. It is based on a composite estimate of the overall area of vitiligo patches, measured by the number of hand units (palm plus 5 digits = 1% body surface area [BSA]) multiplied by the degree of depigmentation within each affected area (0%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, or 100%). The T-VASI is calculated using a formula that includes contributions from all body regions, with a possible range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Analysis population: ITT_1: all randomized participants in Period 1, analyzed according to the treatment groups that they were randomized to; NRI-MI (non-responder imputation incorporating multiple imputation to handle missing data due to COVID-19 or any other missing data that can be reasonably assumed to be Missing at Random)

    Change From Baseline in the Vitiligo Quality-of-Life (VitiQoL) Instrument Total Score at Week 24
    End point description
    The VitiQoL is a validated questionnaire used in clinical trials to assess stigma-related vitiligo impacts. The VitiQoL uses subject-elicited social, affective, and behavior items, asking the subject's appraisal of the vitiligo-related impacts over the last month. Fifteen items are scored on a 7-point scale ranging from 0 ("Not at all") to 6 ("All of the time"). Item scores (0 to 6) are summed to provide a total score range of 0 to 90; higher scores indicate greater impairment of quality of life (QoL). Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement. Analysis population: ITT_1: all randomized participants in Period 1, analyzed according to the treatment groups that they were randomized to; mixed model repeated measures analysis (MMRM) including observed measurements at all visits.
