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   44364   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7388   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.

    Arm description
    Participants with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), who had completed 48 weeks of IV belimumab treatment in study 213560 (NCT04908865), received belimumab 200 milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL) as a subcutaneous (SC) injection over 12 weeks along with standard of care (SOC) therapy. The dosing frequency of belimumab was based on the body weight of the participants. Participants weighing greater than or equal to (>=) 50 kilograms (kg) received belimumab every week, participants weighing between 30 kg and less than (<) 50 kg received belimumab every 10 days, and participants weighing between 15 kg and < 30 kg received belimumab every 2 weeks.

    Blood samples were collected at indicated time points for PK analysis of belimumab. Cmax,ss of belimumab for participants weighing >= 50 kg has been reported. As the first dose of belimumab was administered on Day 1, Week 12 post-dose correlates to Day 1 plus 84 days, i.e., Day 85. PK Analysis Set included all participants assigned treatment who received at least one dose of study treatment and for whom at least one post belimumab treatment PK sample was obtained and analyzed.

    Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs), Serious AEs (SAEs), and AEs of Special Interest (AESIs) Through Week 12
    End point description
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of a study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: results in death; is life-threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study participant; or other situations as per medical and scientific judgement of the Investigator. AESIs defined in the protocol included post-injection systemic reactions and hypersensitivity reactions, infections of special interest, malignancies, and depression, suicidality, or self-injury. Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Analysis Set included all participants assigned treatment who received at least one dose of study treatment.

    Belimumab 200 mg/mL
    Reporting group description
    Participants with SLE, who had completed 48 weeks of IV belimumab treatment in study 213560 (NCT04908865), received belimumab 200 mg/mL as an SC injection over 12 weeks along with SOC therapy. The dosing frequency of belimumab was based on the body weight of the participants. Participants weighing >= 50 kg received belimumab every week, participants weighing between 30 kg and < 50 kg received belimumab every 10 days, and participants weighing between 15 kg and < 30 kg received belimumab every 2 weeks.
