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.

    Exploratory Cohort Inclusion Criteria:
    In addition to meeting Inclusion Criteria 1 through 12, the following criteria must be met for participants to be included in the Exploratory Cohort:
    13. Those intolerant to (e.g. infusion-related skin reaction, allergy, or side effects unrelated to α4β7 inhibition) or secondary non-responders to vedolizumab who have been dosed within the past 5 years with the drug. Up to 5 of the 10 Exploratory Cohort participants may be included based on clinical criteria only. The remaining participants must also meet at least 1 of the following criteria:
    a. Documented vedolizumab levels in blood of ≤10 µg/mL 6 to 8 weeks after their most recent dose or at what is considered clinical trough. If the participant has had vedolizumab levels in blood tested and documented in their medical chart prior to Screening, the test does not need to be repeated.
    b. Non-saturating receptor occupancy of vedolizumab in blood 6 to 8 weeks after their most recent dose
    c. Documented presence of anti-drug antibodies against vedolizumab. If the participant has had a positive anti-drug antibody test that has been documented prior to Screening, the test does not need to be repeated.
    *Note: Secondary non-response is defined as having initially responded to Induction therapy and then had recurrence of symptoms after receiving at least 2 of the Maintenance doses, 300 mg every 8 weeks (discontinuation despite clinical benefit does not qualify).
    14. The participants should also have received their last dose of vedolizumab at least 6 weeks prior to study Day 1 to allow sufficient washout
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Diagnosed with indeterminate colitis, microscopic colitis, ischemic colitis, radiation colitis, or CD or has clinical findings suggestive of CD.
    2. Has current evidence of un-resected colonic dysplasia or un-resected adenomatous colonic polyps or evidence of toxic megacolon, abdominal abscess, symptomatic colonic stricture, fistula, stoma, ileostomy, or colostomy at Screening.
    3. Currently requires or is anticipated to require surgical intervention for UC during the study or is planning to undergo major surgery during the study period.
    4. Has had a surgical procedure requiring general anesthesia within 30 days prior to Screening.
    5. Has a history of any major neurological disorders, including stroke, multiple sclerosis, brain tumor, demyelinating, or neurodegenerative disease. For questions about whether this applies to a specific case, consult with the Medical Monitor.
    6. Has positive findings on a subjective neurological screening questionnaire or progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) subjective symptom checklist during Screening or prior to the administration of the first dose of study drug on study Day 1
    7. Has an active bacterial, viral or parasitic pathogenic enteric infection, including Clostridium difficile; has cytomegalovirus, hepatitis B or C virus, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); had an infection requiring hospitalization or intravenous antimicrobial therapy,
    or an opportunistic infection within 3 months prior to Screening; had any infection requiring oral antimicrobial therapy within 2 weeks prior to Screening; or has a history of more than 1 episode of herpes zoster or any episode of disseminated herpes zoster infection
    8. Has a positive diagnostic tuberculosis (TB) test at Screening (defined as a positive QuantiFERON test). If the participant has had a confirmed negative QuantiFERON or other Interferon Gamma Release Assay test within 90 days prior to Screening, the test does not need to be repeated. In cases where the QuantiFERON test result is indeterminate, the participant may have the test repeated once, and if the second test is negative, the participant will be eligible. In the event the second test also has an indeterminate result or QuantiFERON is unavailable, the Investigator has the option to perform a purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test. If the PPD reaction is <5 mm, then the participant is eligible. If the reaction is ≥5 mm or PPD testing is not done, the participant is not eligible. An exception can be made for participants with a history of latent TB who are currently receiving treatment for latent TB per local standard care, who will initiate treatment for latent TB before the first dose of study drug, or who have documentation of completing appropriate treatment for latent TB within 2 years prior to study Day 1.
    9. Tests positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) during the Screening Period. Participants who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 can undergo retesting throughout the Screening Period. Testing to be performed according to site-specific testing procedures and country-specific requirements.
    10. Had any vaccination (including live virus vaccinations) within 3 weeks prior to study Day 1.
    11. Has a concurrent, clinically significant, serious, unstable comorbidity (such as uncontrolled cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, hematological, coagulation, immunological, endocrine/metabolic, or other medical disorder) that, in the judgement of the Investigator, would compromise compliance with the protocol, interfere with interpretation of the study results, or pre-dispose participants to safety risks.
    12. Has a known primary or secondary immunodeficiency.
