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   44351   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7378   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 ).

Subjects with less than a 1-point reduction in IGA score from baseline were discontinued from the study. Vehicle-treated subjects who achieved <1-point reduction in IGA score from baseline by week 12, were eligible to cross over to 12 weeks of open-label treatment with TMB-001 0.05% BID treatment.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: TMB-001 0.05% treated subjects with less than a 1-point reduction in IGA score from baseline were discontinued from the study. Vehicle-treated subjects with a ≥1-point reduction in IGA score from baseline were discontinued from the study.

    Subject analysis set description
    The optional maximal use arm part of the trial was conducted under the same protocol number for operational reasons, but with separate design, objective, and patients. Adult and pediatric subjects, at a subset of preselected centers, were enrolled in an open-label Optional Maximal Use Arm to evaluate the systemic exposure and safety of TMB-001 0.05% for the treatment of congenital ichthyosis under maximal use conditions. Initially, adult and pediatric subjects with congenital ichthyosis were dosed for 14 days with TMB-001 0.05% BID. Following an interim pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis and based on the exposure data for subjects aged ≥12 years, pediatric subjects aged 6 to 11 years began dosing with TMB-001 0.05% BID for 14 days. Following the 14-day PK assessment period, subjects received TMB-001 0.05% BID treatment for 10 weeks to provide additional safety and limited efficacy data.
