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   43850   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.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate the superiority of Foster 100/6 (two puffs b.i.d.) versus Seretide 500/50 (one inhalation b.i.d.), in terms of pulmonary function (AUC0-30min standardized by time of change from pre-dose in FEV1) after drug inhalation in the morning of day 1, and the equivalence between Foster 100/6 (two puffs b.i.d.) and Seretide 500/50 (one inhalation b.i.d.) in terms of Transition Dyspnoea Index (TDI) score at day 84 in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy of the test treatments in terms of additional spirometric parameters and of clinical outcome measures, to assess the safety and tolerability, and to perform an exploratory analysis evaluating the consumption of resources deriving from COPD management in the perspective of the Healthcare System.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1.Male or female patients aged ≥ 40 years, who have signed an Informed Consent form prior to initiation of any study-related procedure or when applicable written informed consent obtained by legal representative. 2.Outpatients with a clinical diagnosis of moderate to severe COPD and including: a) Smoking history of at least 10 pack years defined as [(number of cigarettes smoked per day) (number of years of smoking)] / 20, both current and ex-smokers are eligible. b) Regular use of bronchodilators (e.g. β2-agonist, anticholinergics) in the 2 months before visit 1. c) Post-bronchodilator FEV1 < 60% of the predicted normal value at visit 1. d) Post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC < 0.7 at visit 1. e) An increase in FEV1 ≥ 5% from baseline following administration of 400 �g of salbutamol at visit 1. f) A Baseline Dyspnoea Index (BDI) focal score 10 (at visit 1 and at visit 2). 3.History of no more than one COPD exacerbation in the previous 12 months (without considering the last 2 months) to visit 1.
