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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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 ).

    Verified viGA Analyzed Baseline Score
    viGA-AD is a 5-point scale assessing the severity of AD, with scores ranging from 0 ('clear') to 4 ('severe'), and higher scores indicate greater symptom severity. This is the baseline viGA data that have undergone data verification by the investigator.

    Baseline EASI Score
    EASI is an instrument to measure the severity and extent of AD. The body is first divided into 4 areas: head {10% of skin), arms (20%), trunk (30%), and legs (40%). Then, the area affected is scored from 0 (0% involvement) to 6 (90-100% involvement), and severity is scored from 0 ('none') to 3 ('severe'). EASI combines the area affected and severity ratings to get a final composite score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). Note that palms and soles were treated as appropriate but were not counted towards any measurements of EASI.

    The percentage of participants achieving vIGA-AD "success" is presented with multiple imputation of missing observations. vIGA-AD "success" is defined as a vIGA-AD score of 'clear' or 'almost clear' PLUS a 2-grade improvement from Baseline. The vIGA-AD is a static evaluation of qualitative overall AD severity. This global assessment scale is an ordinal scale with five severity grades (reported as 0 = "clear'; 1 = "almost clear"; 2 = "mild"; 3 = "moderate"; and 4 = "severe"), with higher scores indicative of greater symptom severity. All randomized participants are included.

    		 Achievement of ≥75% Decrease from Baseline at Week 4 in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75)
    End point description
    The percentage of participants achieving EASI-75 is presented with multiple imputation of missing observations. EASI-75 is a ~75% reduction from the baseline EASI score. EASI combines the assessment of the severity of lesions and the area affected into a single total score in the range 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). To calculate the EASI, the sum =of the severity rating (0 to 3 with 3 being the most severe) for four clinical signs are multiplied with the numerical value of the area affected and with the percentage of the four body areas. All randomized participants are included.

    		 Achievement of vIGA-AD Score of 'Clear' or 'Almost Clear' at Week 4
    End point description
    The percentage of participants scoring 'clear' or 'almost clear' on vIGA-AD is presented with multiple imputation of missing observations. The vIGA-AD is a static evaluation of qualitative overall AD severity. This global assessment scale is an ordinal scale with five severity grades (reported as 0 = "clear'; 1 = "almost clear"; 2 = "mild"; 3 = "moderate"; and 4 = "severe"), with higher scores indicative of greater symptom severity. All randomized participants are included.
