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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    This study evaluates the effects of 12-week treatment with two doses of tiotropium bromide (2.5 μg q.d. and 5 μg q.d.) compared to placebo administered via the Respimat® device on lung function in patients with CF.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were entered in the study. All subjects were free to withdraw from the clinical trial at any time for any reason given. Close monitoring of all subjects was adhered to throughout the trial conduct. Administration of rescue medication was allowed at any point during the study as medically needed. Open-label salbutamol/albuterol MDI (100 μg per puff) was provided as rescue medication by BI.
    Background therapy
    		 Patients maintained their background therapy , including inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 All subjects were screened for eligibility to participate in the trial. Subjects attended specialist sites which would then ensure that they (the subject) met all strictly implemented inclusion/exclusion criteria. Subjects were not randomised to trial treatment if any one of the specific entry criteria were violated.

    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: Baseline characteristics are based on patients who were randomised after successfully completing the screening period and received at least one of the trial medication.

    Limitations and caveats
    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    A "Missing" category is unavailable for the countrywise and age group breakdown of enrolled patients. Hence, 7 patients with a missing country have been added to "United States" and 7 patients with a missing age group to "Adults (18-64 years)".
