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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of remibrutinib 25 mg b.i.d. open-label on SBP measured as a change in 24-hour weighted average SBP from baseline to Week 4 assessed by ABPM; and to assess overall safety and efficacy over 12 weeks in adult participants with CSU inadequately controlled with second generation H1-AH treatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    Estimated Mean Change from Baseline at Week 4 in 24-hour Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) measured by Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) [1]
    End point description
    A linear regression with SBP as a covariate was employed. The change in SBP from baseline to Week 4 was predicted at the median baseline level. The change from baseline in the 24-hour weighted average SBP was calculated using the time weighted average of the area under the curve (AUC) of SBP obtained over a 24-hour period as measured by ABPM. That is, the time weighted average of AUC of 24-hour SBP obtained at baseline was subtracted from corresponding time weighted average of AUC of SBP at Week 4. In the analysis, if participants took prohibited antihypertensive treatment before Week 4, their subsequent measurements were excluded. In such cases, the excluded measurements were imputed by increasing the 24-hour SBP by 3 mmHg from the baseline value at Week 4. Moreover, participants who discontinued of study treatment due to any reason prior to the Week 4 were excluded from the analysis. The Mixed Models for Repeated Measures (MMRM) approach was used.

    The change from baseline in the 24-hour weighted average systolic blood pressure (SBP) was calculated using the time weighted average of the area under the curve (AUC) of SBP obtained over a 24-hour period as measured by ABPM. This analysis was conducted using the observed data. Data was computed taking weighted averages over time and discarding time intervals of more than 1 hour without measurements.

    The change in daytime (respectively nighttime) weighted average SBP was analyzed using linear regression model with baseline weighted average daytime SBP (respectively nighttime) as a covariate. The change in daytime (respectively nighttime) SBP from baseline to Week 4 was predicted at the median baseline level. The change from baseline of daytime (respectively nighttime) SBP was calculated using the time weighted average of the AUC of DBP obtained over daytime (respectively nighttime) In the analysis, if participants took prohibited antihypertensive treatment before Week 4, their subsequent measurements were excluded. In such cases, the excluded measurements were imputed by increasing the 24-hour SBP by 3 mmHg from the baseline value at Week 4. Moreover, participants who discontinued of study treatment due to any reason prior to the Week 4 were excluded from the analysis. The multiple imputation approach was used.
