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 ).

    Change from Baseline in Disease Activity Index Score 28 Using C-reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP) at Week 12
    End point description
    The DAS28-CRP was a composite index used to assess rheumatoid arthritis disease activity. It included 4 components: tender joint count with 28 joints assessed; swollen joint count with 28 joints assessed; high-sensitivity CRP (in milligrams per litre [mg/L]) and general health assessment by the subject using patient global assessment (measured on a visual analog scale [VAS] score ranged from 0 [no arthritis activity] to 100 millimeters [mm; maximal arthritis activity]). DAS28-CRP score ranges from 0 to 10, where higher scores indicated greater disease activity. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement of arthritis. The full analysis set (FAS) included all randomised subjects who received at least 1 dose (partial or complete) of any study intervention.

    Change from Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Score at Week 12
    End point description
    HAQ-DI was 20-question instrument that assesses the degree of difficulty a person has in accomplishing tasks in 8 functional areas (dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reaching, gripping, and activities of daily living). Each functional category consisted of 2-3 items. For each items, level of difficulty was scored from 0-3 (0=no difficulty, 1=some difficulty, 2=much difficulty, 3=unable to do). Overall score was computed as the sum of functional area scores and divided by the number of functional area answered. Total possible score range 0 (least difficulty in physical function) to 3 (extreme difficulty in physical function), where higher scores indicate more difficulty while performing daily living activities. The FAS included all randomised subjects who received at least 1 dose (partial or complete) of any study intervention.

The pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis set was defined as all randomised subjects who received at least 1 complete dose of nipocalimab and had at least 1 valid post-dose blood sample drawn for PK analysis. Here, 'N' (number of subjects analysed) signifies who were evaluable for this endpoint and 'n' (number analysed) signifies subjects who were evaluated at each specified timepoint.

    Weeks 0, 2, 4, 8 (pre-infusion), Weeks 0, 2 and 8 (post-infusion [45 minutes after the end of infusion]), and Weeks 12, 18
    Notes
    [3] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: This endpoint was planned to be analysed for specified arm only.

    Percentage of Subjects with Treatment-emergent Anti-drug Antibodies (ADA) Against Nipocalimab [4]
    End point description
    Percentage of subjects with treatment-emergent ADA against nipocalimab was reported. ADA responses were categorised as treatment boosted ADA and treatment-induced ADA. Treatment boosted ADA was defined an ADA positive sample prior to nipocalimab administration and at least one ADA positive sample after nipocalimab with a 2-fold increase in titer over baseline. Treatment-induced ADA was defined an ADA negative sample prior to nipocalimab administration and at least one ADA positive sample after nipocalimab. Treatment-emergent antibodies to nipocalimab included all subjects who were positive (treatment-boosted or treatment-induced) at any time after their first nipocalimab administration through Week 18. The immunogenicity analysis set was defined as all randomised subjects who received at least 1 dose (partial or complete) of nipocalimab and had appropriate samples for ADA detection.
