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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 demonstrate the efficacy of mometasone furoate/formoterol (MF/F) 100/10 mcg twice daily (BID), compared with mometasone furoate (MF) 100 mcg BID, by evaluating lung function during the first 12 weeks of double-blind treatment in children ages 5–11 years with persistent asthma.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in conformance with the ethical principles originating from the Declaration of Helsinki, Good Clinical Practice (GCP) requirements and applicable country and/or local statutes and regulations regarding Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) review, informed consent/assent, and the protection of human participants in biomedical research as stated in the Sponsor’s Code of Conduct for Interventional Clinical Trials. The Code of Conduct includes a description of how the study was monitored to ensure compliance with GCP.
    Background therapy
    -
    Evidence for comparator
    To assess the efficacy of MF/F combination therapy, mometasone furoate (MF) monotherapy is the comparator chosen, allowing the trial to demonstrate the contribution of the formoterol (F) component to the clinical benefits of the fixed-dose combination of MF/F in children. The safety and effectiveness of MF monotherapy and F monotherapy has already been established from controlled clinical trials in adults and adolescents, and most recently has been evaluated in children 5-11 years of age (P086 and P178, respectively). The MF comparator product has the same formulation as the MF/F combination product, with the exception that the drug substance F has been removed.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Eligible participants had been adequately controlled on a stable dose of an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/LABA for at least 4 weeks prior to Visit 1. There were 182 randomized participants, of whom 181 received at least one dose of blinded study medication as reflected in the enrollment data.

    Blinding implementation details
    A double-blind/masking technique was used during the double-blind treatment Period. MF/F 50/5 mcg and MF 50 mcg, both given by metered-dose inhaler (MDI), were packaged identically so that blind/masking was maintained. The randomized dosages of MF/F 100/10 mcg or MF 100 mcg were obtained after inhalation of two puffs of MF/F 50/5 mcg or MF 50 mcg, respectively. The Run-in Period was open-label MF monotherapy, taken as 2 puffs of MF 50 mcg BID.

    Change from Baseline in Morning (AM) Post-Dose % Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) in the Area Under the Curve (AUC)0-60
    End point description
    This endpoint reflects changes in lung function data (forced expiratory volume in 1 second) measured across 0 to 60 minutes post-dose (at 0, 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes) and averaged across study visits in the Treatment Period (Day 1, Week 1, Week 4, Week 8 and Week 12) compared to Baseline. Baseline was the average of % predicted FEV1 values at 30 min and 0 min pre-dose. At each visit, the area under the curve is calculated over the postdose timepoints. Units are standardized to percent predicted FEV1 by dividing the AUC calculation by the duration of the observed AUC. The analysed population included participants who received at least one dose of randomised trial medication with at least one primary efficacy evaluation.

    An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor’s product, is also an AE. Safety summaries, including the number and percentage of participants, were provided for AEs, serious AEs (SAEs), and drug-related AEs. The analysed population was all randomised participants who received at least one dose of trial medication.

    Change from Baseline AM Post-Dose Percent Predicted FEV1 on Day 1 of Treatment
    End point description
    The key secondary objective was to determine the onset of action for the efficacy of MF/F MDI 100/10 mcg BID, compared with MF MDI 100 mcg BID. The post-dose AM % predicted FEV1 was averaged sequentially, and the change from baseline on Day 1 was assessed. This key secondary endpoint was controlled for multiplicity in a step-down fashion, based on trial success defined as a statistically significant improvement in the primary endpoint for MF/F vs MF. Missing data were imputed using control-based multiple imputations with the cLDA model. The analysed population was all participants who received at least one dose of randomised trial medication with at least one efficacy evaluation.

    Change from Baseline AM Post-Dose % Predicted FEV1 AUC 0-4 Hours on Day 1 and Week 12 of Treatment
    End point description
    This endpoint reflects changes in lung function data (forced expiratory volume in 1 second) measured across 0 to 4 hours post-dose on Day 1 and Week 12 compared to Baseline. Baseline was the average of 30 and 0 minutes pre-dose % predicted FEV1 values. The AUC was calculated over the scheduled timepoints of 0 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 2 hr and 4 hr postdose. Units are standardized to percent predicted FEV1 by dividing the AUC calculation by the duration of the observed AUC. The analysed population was all participants who received at least one dose of randomised trial medication with at least one efficacy evaluation.

    To evaluate the efficacy of MF/F MDI 100/10 mcg BID compared with MF MDI 100 mcg BID, the change from baseline in total daily short-acting beta agonist (SABA) use (puffs per day) was averaged and assessed. All participants received SABA MDIs (albuterol 90 mcg or salbutamol 100 mcg) for as needed relief of asthma symptoms. This secondary analysis of the change from baseline used the cLDA method without multiple imputation. A model-based MAR approach was used for missing data.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    04 Oct 2016
    The control-based imputation of missing %-predicted FEV1 data was amended to become part of the primary analysis (it was originally proposed as a sensitivity analysis). The original, primary method of imputation based on the Missing-At-Random assumption, was moved to one of the supportive analyses. Note that the primary endpoint, %-predicted FEV1, remains the same.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
