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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.1.2Classification code 10009033
    E.1.2Term Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    1. To assess the long term bronchodilator efficacy of inhaled aclidinium bromide, administered at different dose levels, compared to placebo in COPD patients
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    2. To assess the benefits of aclidinium bromide, administered at different dose levels, compared to placebo, in disease-related health status, COPD symptoms and COPD exacerbations
    3. To evaluate the long term safety and tolerability of inhaled aclidinium bromide, administered at different dose levels, compared to placebo in the same target population
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    12h serial spirometry (FEV1 and FVC) for a subgroup of 20% of patients at selected sites: patients will be confined in the site for additional 12h to conduct a 12h serial spirometry at 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 h post-study drug administration at Visit 2, 6 and 8. In addition, Inspiratory Capacity will be measured at 12 h post-dose
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Males and non-pregnant, non-lactating females aged ≥ 40.
    2. Patients with a clinical diagnosis of stable moderate to severe COPD, according to the GOLD guidelines: (http://www.goldcopd.com) and stable airway obstruction. Post-salbutamol FEV1/FVC < 70% at Screening Visit (Visit 1) (i.e., 100xpost-salbutamol FEV1/FVC <70%).
    3. Patients whose FEV1 at Screening Visit measured between 10-15 min post inhalation of 400 µg of salbutamol is ≥ 30% <80% of the predicted normal value (i.e., 100xobserved post-salbutamol FEV1/ predicted FEV1 <80%).
    Predicted normal values to be used for calculation purposes are to be based on European Community for Steel and Coal predicted values (Quanjer et al. 1993).
    4. Patients must be able to perform repeatible pulmonary function testing for FEV1 according to ATS/ERS 2005 criteria at Screening Visit (Visit 1).
    5. Current or former cigarette smokers with a smoking history of at least 10 packs-year. Pack-years are 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 has 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). Patients smoking other tobacco types will not be allowed, unless they meet the cigarette criterion as well.
    6. Female patients at least 1 year post-menopausal, surgically sterile (defined as having a hysterectomy or tubal ligation), or practicing a medically acceptable method of contraception. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening (Visit 1) and be using either double-barrier contraception or a barrier method plus a spermicidal agent.
    7. Patients who understand the study procedures and are willing to participate in the study as indicated by signing the informed consent.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. History or current diagnosis of asthma.
    2. Any respiratory tract infection (including the upper respiratory tract) or COPD exacerbation in the six weeks before Screening Visit (Visit 1). Patients who develop a respiratory tract infection or exacerbation during the run-in period will be discontinued from the trial before randomisation.
    3. Patients who have been hospitalised for an acute COPD exacerbation within 3 months prior to Screening Visit.
    4. Clinically significant respiratory conditions defined as:
    •Known active tuberculosis.
    •History of interstitial lung or pulmonary thromboembolic disease.
    •Pulmonary resection or lung volume reduction surgery during the past 12 months.
    •History of bronchiectasis secondary to respiratory diseases others than COPD (e.g., cystic fibrosis, Kartagener’s syndrome, etc).
    •Post organ transplantation.
    •Patients who in the investigator’s opinion may need pulmonary rehabilitation or thoracotomy or other lung surgery during the trial.
    •Patients with a history of a1-antitrypsin deficiency.
    5. Use of long-term oxygen therapy (≥ 15 hours/day).
    6. Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 40.
    7. Patients who have participated in an acute pulmonary rehabilitation program within the previous 6 months (NOTE: Patients on a stable pulmonary rehabilitation exercise regimen for at least 6 weeks are not excluded).
    8. Clinically significant cardiovascular conditions defined as:
    •Myocardial infarction during the previous 6 months.
    •Unstable angina, unstable arrhythmia which has 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.
    9. Patients with non-controlled history of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and/or active hepatitis.
    10. Patients who have a resting systolic blood pressure ≥ 200 mm Hg, a resting diastolic blood pressure ≥ 120 mm Hg, or a resting heart rate ≥ 105 bpm at Screening Visit (Visit 1) or Visit 2 (pre-randomization).
    11. QTc [calculated according to Bazett’s formulae (QTc=QT/RR1/2), as indicated in the paper tracing generated by the equipment used to record the ECGs] above 470 milliseconds in the ECG performed at Screening Visit (Visit 1).
    12. Patients with clinically relevant abnormalities in the results of the clinical laboratory tests, in ECG parameters other than QTc, or in the physical examination at the screening evaluation (Visit 1), if the abnormality defines a disease state listed as an exclusion criteria, except for those related to COPD.
    13. Patients with a history (within the previous 5 years) of drug and/or alcohol abuse that may prevent compliance with trial activities.
    14. Patients with any other serious or uncontrolled physical or mental dysfunction that, as judged by the investigator, could place the patient at higher risk derived from his/her participation in the study, could confound the results of the study or is likely to prevent the patient from complying with the requirements of the study or completing the study.

Patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to inhaled anticholinergics, sympathomimetic amines, or inhaled medication or any component thereof (including report of paradoxical bronchospasm) or patients with acute urinary retention, symptomatic prostatic hypertrophy, bladder neck obstruction or narrow-angle glaucoma.

    22. Patients who are unlikely to be cooperative (e.g. take their medication, complete their Electronic and Paper Diaries or attend the clinic at the required times).
    23. Patients who are employees or relatives of employees at the investigative site, Almirall or Forest Laboratories.
