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   43841   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7281   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 objective of this 8-week study is to evaluate the dose response, efficacy and safety of four dosage regimens of GW685698X (25mcg, 50mcg, 100mcg and 200mcg) administered once daily in the evening in adolescent and adult subjects 12 years of age and older with persistent uncontrolled asthma to effectively select the appropriate dose of GW685698X to be evaluated in further clinical studies.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The following steps were taken to protect trial subjects: 1). Only subjects meeting all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria were randomized to investigational medication. 2). All subjects enrolled into the study were provided rescue medication for use as necessary. 3). Subject lung function, as measured by morning and evening peak expiratory flow (PEF), use of rescue medication and symptoms were monitored through the use of a daily electronic diary. 4) Both safety and efficacy parameters were also assessed by the investigator regularly in the clinic to minimise any potential risks to the patients. 5). The investigator or treating physician may unblind a subject’s treatment assignment in the case of an emergency, when knowledge of the study treatment is essential for the appropriate clinical management or welfare of the subject.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Only those enrolled participants who received >=1 dose of study treatment are reported to be in the baseline period.

    Mean change from Baseline in trough (evening pre-dose and pre- rescue bronchodilator) FEV1 at Week 8
    End point description
    Pulmonary function was measured by forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled from the lungs in one second. Pre-dose and pre-rescue bronchodilator (albuterol/salbutamol) trough FEV1(the measurement of FEV1 performed at the end of the dosing interval) was measured electronically by spirometry in the evening at the Baseline through Week 8 clinic visits. Trough FEV1 is the FEV1 measured approximately 24 hours after the last administration of study drug. The highest of 3 technically acceptable measurements was recorded. The Visit 3 FEV1 assessment was used as the Baseline value. Change from Baseline in trough FEV1 was calculated as the value at Week 8 minus the value at Baseline. The analysis was performed using an Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model with covariates of Baseline trough FEV1, country, sex, age, and treatment group. ITT=Intent-to-Treat. The Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method was used.

    Mean change from Baseline in daily trough (pre-dose and pre-rescue bronchodilator) evening peak expiratory flow (PEF) averaged over the 8-week Treatment Period
    End point description
    PEF is defined as the maximum airflow during a forced expiration beginning with the lungs fully inflated. Trough PEF is defined as the PEF measurement performed at the end of the dosing interval. PEF was measured by the participants using a hand-held electronic peak flow meter each evening prior to the dose of study medication and any rescue albuterol/salbutamol inhalation aerosol use. The best of three attempts was recorded by the participants in a daily diary. The Baseline value was derived from the last 7 days of the daily diary prior to the randomization of the participant. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value of the averaged daily evening PEF over the 8-week treatment period minus the value at Baseline. The analysis was performed using an ANCOVA model with covariates of Baseline trough evening PEF, country, sex, age, and treatment group.

    End point description
    Asthma symptoms were recorded in a daily dairy by the participants every day in the morning and evening before taking any rescue or study medication and before PEF measurement. A 24-hour period in which a participant’s responses to both the morning and evening assessments indicated no symptoms was considered as symptom-free. The Baseline value was derived from the last 7 days of the daily diary prior to the randomization of the participant. Change from Baseline was calculated as the averaged value during the 8-week Treatment Period minus the value at Baseline.

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: results in death; is life-threatening; requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in disability/incapacity; or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Medical or scientific judgement should have been exercised in other situations. Refer to the general AE/SAE module for a list of AEs (occurring at a frequency threshold >=3%) and SAEs.

    Number of participants with the indicated result for the indicated urinalysis parameters tested by dipstick at Baseline and Week 8/Early Withdrawal
    End point description
    Urinalysis parameters included: Urine Occult Blood (UOB), Urine Glucose (UG), Urine Ketones (UK), Urine Protein (UP), and Urine Leukocyte Esterase test for detecting White Blood Cell (UWBC). The dipstick was a strip used to detect the presence or absence of these parameters in the urine sample. The dipstick test gives results in a semi-quantitative manner, and results for urinalysis parameters can be read as large, moderate (Mod), negative (Neg), small, Trace, 1+, 2+, 3+ and 4+, and for UG the result can be read as Neg, Trace, Trace or 1/10 G/dL, 1+ or 1/4 G/dL, 3+ or 1 G/dL, indicating proportional concentrations in the urine sample. Data are reported as the number of participants who had neg, Trace, 1+, 2+, 3+ and 4+ levels at Baseline (BL) and Week 8 (W8)/Early Withdrawal (EW). The Baseline value was the measurement taken at screening (Visit 1). Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X in the category titles).

    Urine specific gravity at Baseline and Week 8/Early Withdrawal
    End point description
    Urine samples were collected for the measurement of urine specific gravity by dipstick method at Baseline and at Week 8/Early Withdrawal. The Baseline value was the measurement taken at screening (Visit 1). Specific gravity is a measure of the amount of material dissolved in the urine. Specific gravity is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density (mass of the same unit volume) of a reference substance. Normal urine has a specific gravity between 1.010 and 1.020. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X in the category titles). Different participants may have been analyzed at different time points, so the overall number of participants analyzed reflects everyone in the ITT Population.

    Urine pH at Baseline and Week 8/Early Withdrawal
    End point description
    Urine samples were collected for the measurement of urine pH by dipstick method at Baseline and at Week 8/Early Withdrawal. The Baseline value was the measurement taken at screening (Visit 1). Urine pH is an acid-base measurement. pH is measured on a numeric scale ranging from 0 to 14; values on the scale refer to the degree of alkalinity or acidity. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic, and a pH greater than 7 is basic. Normal urine has a slightly acid pH (5.0 - 6.0). Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X in the category titles). Different participants may have been analyzed at different time points, so the overall number of participants analyzed reflects everyone in the ITT Population.
