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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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
    To evaluate changes in skin barrier function with transepidermal water loss (TEWL) assessed after 5 skin tape stripping (STS) in pre-defined lesional skin in participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) treated with dupilumab.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Participants were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time in language and terms appropriate for the participant and considering the local culture. During the course of the trial, participants were provided with individual participant cards indicating the nature of the trial the participant is participating, contact details and any information needed in the event of a medical emergency. Collected personal data and human biological samples were processed in compliance with the Sanofi-Aventis Group Personal Data Protection Charter ensuring that the Group abides by the laws governing personal data protection in force in all countries in which it operates.

    Primary: Atopic Dermatitis Participants: Percent Change From Baseline in Transepidermal Water Loss After 5 Skin Tape Stripping on Lesional Skin at Week 16

    Atopic Dermatitis Participants: Percent Change From Baseline in Transepidermal Water Loss After 5 Skin Tape Stripping on Lesional Skin at Week 16 [1] [2]
    End point description
    The TEWL is commonly used for physiologic assessment of skin barrier function. The TEWL measurements have also been combined with skin barrier perturbation using STS to measure skin barrier function and integrity. The intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all enrolled participants, including participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and healthy participants who had at least 1 TEWL/STS assessment performed, irrespective of compliance with the study protocol and procedures.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: As the endpoint was analyzed only in participants with atopic dermatitis reporting group, the statistical comparison can't be performed.
    [2] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: Only participants with atopic dermatitis were analyzed for the primary endpoint.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) data was collected from the first administration of the study drug (Day 1) up to 14 days after last administration of the study drug (maximum exposure duration: up to 16 weeks).
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Safety population included all enrolled participants, who actually received at least 1 dose of study drug or had at least 1 TEWL/STS assessment and all healthy participants who had at least 1 TEWL/STS assessment performed. TEAEs are not applicable for healthy participants because no study drug were taken.
