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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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
    The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of FF/GW642444 100/25 mcg, administered once daily in the evening with FP/salmeterol 250/50 mcg administered twice daily in subjects 12 years of age and older with persistent bronchial asthma over a 24 week treatment period.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The following steps were taken to protect trial subjects: 1). Only subjects meeting all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria were randomized to investigational medication. 2). All subjects enrolled into the study were provided rescue medication for use as necessary. 3) Both safety and efficacy parameters were also assessed by the investigator regularly in the clinic to minimise any potential risks to the patients. 4). The investigator or treating physician may unblind a subject’s treatment assignment in the case of an emergency, when knowledge of the study treatment is essential for the appropriate clinical management or welfare of the subject.

    Notes
    [2] - 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: The number of participants enrolled in the trial worldwide (n=1564) represents the number of participants starting the Run-in Phase, not the number starting the Randomized Phase (the baseline period).

    Change from Baseline in weighted-mean 24 hour serial FEV1 on Day 168/Week 24
    End point description
    Pulmonary function was measured by FEV1, defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. The weighted mean was calculated from the pre-dose FEV1 and post-dose FEV1 measurements at 5, 15, and 30 minutes (min) and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 12.5, 13, 14, 16, 20, 23, and 24 hours, respectively, on Day 168/Week 24. Change from Baseline was calculated as the weighted mean of the 24-hour serial FEV1 measures on Day 168/Week 24 minus the Baseline value. Baseline was the pre-dose measurement on Day 1. Analysis was performed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with covariates of Baseline FEV1, region, sex, age, and treatment. ITT, Intent-to-Treat. Randomized participants were assumed to have received double-blind medication unless definitive evidence to the contrary existed. Only those participants available at the indicated time point were assessed.

    Number of participants with the indicated time to onset of bronchodilator effect at Day 1
    End point description
    Time to onset of bronchodilator effect at Day 1 is defined as the actual time during the 4-hour serial FEV1 (the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second) measurements that the participant first meets or exceeds a 12% and 200 mL increase over Baseline and was derived at Day 1 only. Time to onset was calculated over 0 to 4 hours (5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours) post-dose. Participants who never exceeded a 12% and 200 mL increase over Baseline were censored at the actual time of their last FEV1 measurement.

    Change from Baseline in Trough FEV1 at Day 168
    End point description
    Pulmonary function was measured by FEV1, defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second . Trough FEV1 is defined as the pre-dose measurement on Day 168/Week 24. Any missing data at Day 168/Week 24 was imputed using the last observation carried forward (LOCF). Baseline was the pre-dose measurement on Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated as the pre-dose measurement on Day 168/Week 24 minus the Baseline value.

    Change from Baseline in Asthma Control Test (ACT) scores at Day 168
    End point description
    The ACT is a 5-item questionnaire developed as a measure of the participant's asthma control. Questions are designed to be self-completed by the participant and include the following: In the past 4 weeks, "How much of the time did your asthma keep you from getting as much done at work, school or at home?", "How often have you had shortness of breath?", "How often did your asthma symptoms wake you up at night or earlier than usual in the morning?", "How often have you used your rescue inhaler or nebulizer medication (such as albuterol)?" and "How would you rate your asthma control"? The ACT total score is defined as the sum of the scores from all 5 questions, provided all questions have been answered; thus, the total score ranges from 5 (poor control of asthma) to 25 (complete control of asthma). A score of 20 or higher indicates well-controlled asthma. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Day 168 value minus the Baseline value.

    Change from Baseline in Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) total score for participants 12 years of age and older (AQLQ + 12)
    End point description
    The AQLQ is a disease-specific, self-administered quality of life (QOL) questionnaire developed to evaluate the impact of asthma treatments on the QOL of asthma sufferers. The AQLQ contains 32 items in four domains: activity limitation (11 items), symptoms (12 items), emotional function (5 items), and environmental stimuli (4 items). The response format consists of a 7-point scale: a value of 1 indicates "total impairment"; a value of 7 indicates "no impairment." The AQLQ total score is defined as the average of the scores from all 32 questions, provided at least 90% of the questions have been answered; thus, the total score ranges from 1 (indicates "total impairment") to 7 (indicates "no impairment"). Change from Baseline was calculated as the Day 168 value minus the Baseline value. Analysis was performed using ANCOVA with covariates of Baseline total AQLQ score, country, sex, age, and treatment.

    End point description
    The EuroQol five-dimensions (EQ-5D) is a standardized, 2-part, self-assessment instrument, designed for self-completion, used to measure health outcome. The first part consists of 5 items covering 5 dimensions (mobility, self care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). Each dimension is measured by a three-point Likert scale (1=no problems, 2=some problems and 3=severe problems). Respondents are asked to choose one level that reflects their "own health state today" for each of the five dimensions.

The first part consists of 5 items covering 5 dimensions (mobility, self care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). The second part is a 20 centimeter VAS that has endpoints labelled "best imaginable health state" and "worst imaginable health state" anchored at 100 and 0, respectively. Participants were asked to indicate how they rate their own health by drawing a line from an anchor box to that point on the EQ-VAS that best represents their own health on that day. Analysis was performed using ANCOVA with covariates of Baseline VAS score, country, sex, age, and treatment.
