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   44236   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7337   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.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Are ≥ 18 and ≤ 76 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.
    2. Are SCLE, DLE and/or SLE participants that have completed the 24-week Treatment of the WILLOW study.
    3. Have a BMI within the range ≤ 40 kg/m2 .
    4. Male or Female
    The investigator confirms that each participant agrees to use appropriate contraception and barriers, if applicable. The contraception, barrier, and pregnancy testing requirements are below. Contraceptive use will be consistent with local regulations on contraception methods for those participating in clinical studies.
    a) Female participant:
    • Is not breastfeeding
    • Is not pregnant (i.e., has a negative highly sensitive urine pregnancy test, as required by local regulations, within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention). If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (e.g., an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required.
    •Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP)
    • If a WOCBP, use a highly effective contraceptive method (i.e., with a failure rate of < 1% per year), preferably with low user dependency (2 methods may be considered to achieve optimal results i.e., < 1% failure rate per year), as described in Appendix 3 Contraception and Barrier Requirements for the following time periods:
    b) Male Participants:
    • Refrain from donating fresh unwashed semen.
    PLUS, either:
    • Abstain from any activity that allows for exposure to ejaculate.
    OR
    • Use a male condom:
    Agree to the following during the study until at least 90 days (a spermatogenesis cycle) after the last dose of study intervention.

    Please refer to the Protocol for additional details about this criteria.

    5. Are up to date, according to local guidelines, with vaccination against Streptococcus pneumoniae and influenza virus (as seasonally required for influenza virus).
    6. Capable of giving signed informed consent, as indicated in Appendix 2, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and this protocol.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Participants who experienced serious event(s) related to the study intervention during the WILLOW study, an unstable medical condition, or any other reason, in the opinion of the Investigator or Sponsor/designee that would preclude participation in this LTE study.
    2. Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition. Clinically significant ECG findings or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with LTE study participation or study intervention administration and, in the judgment of the Investigator or Sponsor/designee opinion, would make the participant inappropriate to participate in this LTE study.
    3. Active clinically significant viral (including SARS-CoV-2), bacterial or fungal infection, or any major episode of infection requiring hospitalization or treatment with parenteral anti-infectives. Vaginal candidiasis, onychomycosis, and genital or oral herpes simplex virus considered sufficiently controlled will not be exclusionary.
    4. Note: if sign/symptoms suggest any underlying infection (at Investigator discretion), a negative or normal test result must be provided and discussed with the Medical Monitor.
    • All participants who entered the WILLOW study with positive anti HBc antibody and/or anti-HBs antibody with non-detectable HBV DNA at Screening must provide a negative HBV DNA PCR result.
    5. Received LTE prohibited medication during the WILLOW study or after the WILLOW study Week 24/EOT Visit (may require prior discussion with Medical Monitor).
    6. Participation in any other investigational drug study after the WILLOW study Week 24/EOT Visit.
    7. Withdrawn during the WILLOW study due to any of the pre-defined criteria for study intervention or study withdrawal.
    8. Planned major elective medical or surgical procedure.
    9. Breastfeeding/lactating or pregnant women. Lactating women are excluded regardless of whether they are nursing infant(s).
