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.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.2 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.2Version 9.1
    E.1.2Level LLT
    E.1.2Classification code 10010952
    E.1.2Term COPD
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    • To assess the ability of IMD-1041 to reduce levels of selected systemic and induced sputum biomarkers in patients with COPD
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    • To evaluate change in lung function in patients with COPD following oral dosing of IMD-1041

    • To determine the safety and tolerability of IMD-1041 following oral dosing in patients with COPD
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Males and non-pregnant, non-lactating females aged ≥40 and ≤80 years of age at the time of the screening visit. (Women of childbearing potential will be allowed to enter the trial only if they are using one medically approved i.e., mechanical or pharmacological) contraceptive measure. A female is considered to be of childbearing potential unless she has had an hysterectomy, is at least one year post-menopausal, or has undergone tubal ligation. All women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening visit and week 12 (Visit 3)

    2. Patients with a clinical diagnosis of COPD, grade 2 or 3 according to the GOLD guidelines 2007 and stable airway obstruction

    3. Patients with a post-salbutamol FEV1 > 30% of the predicted value, < 80% of the predicted value (i.e., 30% ≤ 100 x observed post-salbutamol FEV1/ predicted FEV1 <80%) or who is deemed suitable by the Investigator (at either screening or baseline)

    4. Post-salbutamol FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) <70% (i.e,. 100 x post-salbutamol FEV1/FVC <70%) (at either screening or baseline)

    5. Current, or ex-cigarette smokers with a smoking history of at least 10 pack-years. Pack-years will be calculated by dividing the number of cigarettes smoked per day by 20 (the number of cigarettes in a pack) and multiplying this figure by the number of years a person had smoked. For example, a person who smokes 40 cigarettes a day and has smoked for 10 years would have a 20 pack-year smoking history (40 cigarettes per day ÷ 20 cigarettes per pack = 2; 2 x 10 years of smoking = 20 pack-year history)

    6. Patients who have the ability to produce a viable sputum sample (< 50% squamous cells)

    7. Predominant current diagnosis of smoking related COPD

    8. Patients who were eligible and able to participate in the trial and who consented to do so in writing after the purpose and nature of the investigation had been explained to them
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. History or current diagnosis of asthma, allergic rhinitis or atopy. N.B. Misdiagnosed asthma or childhood asthma is acceptable, however must be confirmed by the Investigator

    2. Eosinophil count >600 cells/mm3

    3. A respiratory tract infection (including the upper respiratory tract) or COPD exacerbation in the 6 weeks prior to the screening visit

    4. Patients who have been hospitalised for an acute COPD exacerbation in the 12 months or an exacerbation in the last 3 months which was treated with oral steroids prior to the screening visit

    5. Use of long-term oxygen therapy (≥15 hours/day)

    6. Clinically significant respiratory conditions defined as:
    • Known active tuberculosis
    • History of interstitial lung or pulmonary thromboembolic disease
    • Pulmonary resection during the past 12 months
    • History of life-threatening COPD
    • History of bronchiectasis secondary to respiratory diseases other than COPD (e.g., cystic fibrosis, Kartagener’s syndrome, etc)
    • Patients who in the Investigator’s opinion may need pulmonary rehabilitation or a thoracotomy during the trial

    7. Clinically significant cardiovascular conditions defined as:
    • Myocardial infarction during the last 6 months
    • Unstable arrhythmia which required changes in the pharmacological therapy or other intervention during the last 12 months, or newly diagnosed arrhythmia within the previous 3 months
    • Hospitalisation within the previous 12 months for heart failure functional classes III (marked limitation of activity and only comfortable at rest) and IV (need of complete rest, confinement to bed or chair, discomfort at any physical activity and presence of symptoms at rest) as per the New York Heart Association

    8. Patients with any other serious or uncontrolled physical or mental dysfunction at the discretion of the Investigator, which could place the patient at higher risk derived from his/her participation in the study, could confound the results of the trial, or is likely to prevent the patient from complying with the requirements of the trial or completing the trial period

    9. Patients who are not able to perform reproducible spirometry attempts at the screening visit or during the repeat at baseline

    10. Clinically relevant abnormalities in the results of laboratory, ECG parameters (QTc > 470 milliseconds), or physical examination at the screening evaluation if the abnormality defines a disease state listed as an exclusion criterion, except for those related to COPD

    11. Patients with a history of drug and/or alcohol abuse that may prevent compliance with trial activities

    12. Treatment with any IMP within 3 month prior to screening visit

    13. Changes to any concomitant therapy either for COPD or any other well-controlled illness within 1 month prior to screening visit

    14. Treatment with a prohibited medication as detailed in Section 5.8
    Any further issues regarding the eligibility of a particular patient for entry into the trial will be discussed between the Investigator and the Sponsor or its representatives and will be documented accordingly
