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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory disease causing shoulder, hip, and neck pain and stiffness, in adults aged 50 years or older. This study evaluates how safe and effective ABBV-154 is in participants with glucocorticoid-dependent PMR. AEs and change in disease activity will be assessed. ABBV-154 is an investigational drug being evaluated for the treatment of PMR. Participants will be randomized into 1 of 4 treatment groups or arms, each arm receiving a different treatment. There is a 1 in 4 chance that a participant will be assigned to placebo. Around 160 participants, of at least 50 years of age, with PMR will be enrolled in the study at approximately 95 sites worldwide. The study is comprised of a 52 week double-blind, placebo-controlled period and a follow-up visit 70 days after the last dose of the study drug. All participants will receive a glucocorticoid taper along with the assigned dose of ABBV-154 or placebo, subcutaneously (SC) every other week (EOW).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The investigator or his/her representative will explain the nature of the study to the subject, the benefits and risks anticipated from participation in the study, and answer all questions regarding this study. Prior to any study-related screening procedures being performed on the subject or any medications being discontinued by the subject in order to participate in this study, the informed consent statement will be reviewed, signed, and dated by the subject, the person who administered the informed consent, and any other signatories according to local requirements. A copy of the signed informed consent will be given to the subject and the original will be placed in the subject's medical record. An entry must also be made in the subject's dated source documents to confirm that informed consent was obtained prior to any study-related procedures and that the subject received a signed copy.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    181 glucocorticoid dependent PMR subjects were randomized into 4 groups and dosed for 52 wks. Subjects were dosed SC: Placebo, ABBV-154 (40mg, 150mg, or 340mg) with a glucocorticoid taper EOW. Beginning at Wk 3, subjects were to taper prednisone/prednisolone per protocol-defined glucocorticoid taper schedule to 0mg prednisone equivalent by Wk 24.
