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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    • Evaluate changes in skin barrier function with transepidermal water loss (TEWL) assessed after 5 skin tape stripping (STS) in pre-defined lesional skin in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) treated with dupilumab
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    • Evaluate changes in skin barrier function with TEWL assessed before and after 10, 15 and 20 STS in pre-defined lesional skin in patients with moderate to severe AD treated with dupilumab
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    - Participant must be between 12 to 65 years of age (inclusive), at the time of signing the informed consent.
    - Male or Female. Contraceptive use by women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
    - Willing to refrain from applying any topical medication products on the target assessment areas throughout the study until the EoT visit unless necessary to alleviate intolerable symptoms.
    - Willing to refrain taking showers or soaking in a bathtub with soaps and body washes within 6 hours before TEWL assessments.
    - Willing to NOT apply any moisturizers to the areas of the skin that are targeted assessment areas during the entire study from Day -7 to the EoT visit.
    - Willing and able to comply with all clinic visits and study-related procedures.
    - Capable of understanding and giving signed informed consent/assent as will be described in the protocol, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol. For adolescents ≥12 and <18 years of age a specific ICF must also be signed by the participant’s legally authorized representative.
    - ATOPIC DERMATITIS PAIENTS ONLY:
    (1) Patients with AD diagnosis according to Hanifin and Rajka criteria at least 1 year before screening.
    (2) Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score of ≥3 at screening (on the 0-4 scale).
    (3) Patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis that are eligible to be treated with dupilumab according to package insert.
    (4) Patients with AD must have active lesions on the upper limbs or lower limbs, with severity for lesion erythema or edema/papulation ≥2 at screening on the 0-3 scale of the ISS.
    (5) Participants should have a non-lesional (normal looking) skin area 4 cm from the edge of the lesional area. If unable to identify non-lesional skin 4 cm from the lesional area, it is acceptable to identify normal looking skin as close to the lesion as possible.
    HEALTHY VOLUNTEERS ONLY:
    (1) Age and gender matched to a selected AD patient by study site. Adolescents aged 12 to 17 years will be matched by post puberty status, and adults aged 18 to 65 years will be matched by age as close as possible within 10 years of age.
    (2) No current or prior dermatologic or systemic condition that could interfere with the assessments.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:
    Medical conditions
    - Previous treatment with dupilumab within 6 months prior to screening.
    - Skin conditions other than AD that can confound assessments in the area of TEWL assessments in the opinion of the investigator (ie, skin atrophy, ichthyosis, Netherton syndrome, severe photo damage).
    - Cracked, crusted, oozing, or bleeding AD lesions in the designated lesional assessment area leaving insufficient skin that is adequate for TEWL assessments.
    - Ocular disorder that in the opinion of the investigator could adversely affect the individual’s risk for study participation. Examples include -but are not limited to- individuals with a history of active cases of herpes keratitis; Sjogren’s syndrome, keratoconjunctivitis sicca or dry eye syndrome that require daily use of supplemental lubrication; or individuals with ocular conditions that require the use of ocular corticosteroids or cyclosporine.
    - Systemic AD treatment or phototherapy within 4 weeks of baseline.
    - Topical AD treatment within 1 week of baseline. Face and neck may be treated with topical steroids during the washout period if approved by the investigator.
    - Severe prior or concomitant illness(es) that, in the investigator’s judgment, would adversely affect the patient’s participation in the study. Examples include, but are not limited to patients with short life expectancy, patients with uncontrolled diabetes (hemoglobin A1c ≥9%), patients with cardiovascular conditions (eg, Class III or IV cardiac failure according to the New York Heart Association classification), severe renal conditions (eg, patients on dialysis), hepato-biliary conditions (eg, Child-Pugh class B or C), neurological conditions (eg, demyelinating diseases), active major autoimmune diseases (eg, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, etc), other severe endocrinological, gastrointestinal, metabolic, pulmonary, psychiatric (known suicidal intentions),lymphatic diseases, or any illness(es) that resulted in prior or current use of chemotherapy or radiation . The specific justification for patients excluded under this criterion will be noted in study documents (chart notes, electronic case report forms [eCRF], screening logs, etc).
    - History of hypersensitivity reaction to tape or adhesives.

    Prior/concomitant therapy
    - Treatment with an investigational drug within 8 weeks or within 5 half-lives (if known) prior to Day 1, whichever is longer.
    - Treatment with live (attenuated) vaccine within 4 weeks before the baseline visit.

    Prior/concurrent clinical study experience
    - Current participation in another investigational clinical study.

    Other exclusions
    - Individuals accommodated in an institution because of regulatory or legal order; prisoners or participants who are legally institutionalized
    - Participant not suitable for participation, whatever the reason, as judged by the Investigator, including medical or clinical conditions, or participants potentially at risk of noncompliance to study procedures
    - Participants are employees of the clinical study site or other individuals directly involved in the conduct of the study, or immediate family members of such individuals (in conjunction with section 1.61 of the ICH-GCP Ordinance E6)
    - Any specific situation during study implementation/course that may raise ethics considerations
    - Sensitivity to any of the study interventions, or components thereof, or drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the Investigator, contraindicates participation in the study
    - Planned or anticipated major surgical procedure during the patient’s participation in this study.
    - Pregnant or breast-feeding women or were planning to become pregnant or breastfeed during the subject’s participation in this study.
    - Women unwilling to use adequate birth control, if of reproductive potential and sexually active.
    - Healthy volunteers with a personal history of an atopic condition.
    - Healthy volunteers with use of any topical treatment anywhere except Cetaphil, Vanicream, or the preferred moisturizer not containing additives on non-targeted skin areas.
