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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.

    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    101 Subject has provided informed consent prior to initiation of study.

    102 Age ≥18 years to <80 years at screening visit, except in South Korea where age ≥19 years to <80 years at screening visit.

    103 Diagnosis of UC established ≥3 months prior to enrollment by clinical and endoscopic evidence and corroborated by a histopathology report.

    104 Moderately to severely active UC as defined by a modified Mayo score of 5 to 9, with a centrally read endoscopy subscore ≥2.

    105 Has documentation of
    - A surveillance colonoscopy within 12 months of day 1 visit for subjects with pancolitis of >8 years duration, or subjects with left-sided colitis of >12 years duration, or subjects with primary sclerosing cholangitis.
    - For all other subjects, up-to-date colorectal cancer surveillance. At the discretion of the investigator, a colonoscopy may be performed as the screening endoscopy for this study. Subjects who do not have a colonoscopy report available in source documentation will have a colonoscopy instead of rectosigmoidoscopy performed as the screening endoscopy for the study.

    106 Subjects must have demonstrated inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to at least 1 conventional therapy, biologic therapy, or targeted small molecule therapy (ie, JAK-inhibitor).

    1. Conventional therapy failed subjects:
    - Corticosteroids (corticosteroid-refractory colitis, defined as signs and/or symptoms of active UC despite oral prednisone (or equivalent) at doses of at least 30 mg/day for a minimum of 2 weeks; or corticosteroid-dependent colitis, defined as: an inability to reduce corticosteroids below the equivalent of prednisone 10 mg/day within 3 months of starting corticosteroids without a return of signs and/or symptoms of active UC; or a relapse within 3 months of completing a course of corticosteroids
    - History of intolerance of corticosteroids
    - Immunomodulators: signs and/or symptoms of persistently active disease despite at least 3 months treatment with one of the following at locally approved doses: oral azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine, or oral azathioprine or 6-mercatopurine within a therapeutic range as judged by thioguanine metabolite testing, or a combination of a thiopurine and allopurinol within a therapeutic range as judged by thioguanine metabolite testing
    - History of intolerance to at least 1 immunomodulator and have neither failed nor demonstrated an intolerance to a biological medication (anti-TNF antibody, anti-integrin antibody, or IL-12/23 antagonists) that is indicated for the treatment of UC

    2. Biologic or targeted small molecule therapy failed subjects: those who demonstrated inadequate response or loss of response or intolerance to biologic therapy for UC (eg, anti-TNF antibodies or IL-12/23 antagonists, anti-integrin antibodies) or targeted small molecules (eg, JAK inhibitors or S1P modulators). The therapy used to qualify the subject for entry into this category must be approved for the treatment of UC in the country of use, at the time of use. Subjects must fulfil one of the following criteria:
    - Inadequate response: signs and symptoms of persistently active disease despite induction treatment at the approved induction dosing that was indicated in the product label at the time of use
    - Loss of response: recurrence of signs and symptoms of active disease during approved maintenance dosing following prior clinical benefit (discontinuation despite clinical benefit does not quality as having failed or being intolerant to UC biological therapy or JAK inhibitor or S1P modulator)
    - Intolerance: history of intolerance to infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab, vedolizumab, ustekinumab, tofacitinib or other approved biologicals or JAK inhibitors or S1P modulators (including but not limited to infusion-related event, demyelination, congestive heart failure, or any other drug-related adverse event that led to a reduction in dose or discontinuation of the medication)

    107 If receiving any of the following therapies, subjects must have stable dosage for the specified duration:
    - 5-aminosalicylates (ASAs), stable dosage for ≥ 2 weeks prior to screening endoscopy
    - Oral corticosteroids: prednisone up to 20 mg/day or its equivalent, stable dose for 2 weeks prior to screening endoscopy
    - Budesonide: extended release tablets 9 mg/day [budesonide MMX], stable dose for at least 2 weeks prior to screening endoscopy
    - Beclomethasone dipropionate: gastro-resistant prolonged-release tablet 5 mg/day, stable dose for ≥ 2 weeks prior to screening endoscopy
    - Conventional immunomodulators: azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, methotrexate, stable dosage for at least 8 weeks prior to screening endoscopy
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria

    204 Previous bowel resection or intestinal or intra-abdominal surgery.
    - Have had extensive surgery for UC, or are likely to require surgery for the treatment of UC during the study. Subjects who have had limited surgery for UC may be allowed in the study, if this does not affect the assessment of efficacy. Discussion with the sponsor must occur prior to screening of such subjects.
    - Have had any small bowel or colonic surgery within 6 months of day 1.
    - Have had any nonintestinal intra-abdominal surgery within 3 months of day 1.

    Any history or current evidence of dysplasia occurring in flat mucosa. This includes histopathology reporting indefinite for dysplasia, low-grade dysplasia, and high-grade dysplasia.
    Any history or current evidence of a nonadenoma-like dysplasia-associated lesions or masses, with or without evidence of dysplasia.
    Any current sporadic adenoma containing dysplasia or any current adenoma-like dysplasia-associated lesions or masses that has not been
    removed. Once completely removed, the patient is eligible for the study.
