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 objective of this confirmatory study was to investigate the efficacy (over 12 weeks) and long-term safety (over at least 6 months [24 weeks]) of tiotropium solution for inhalation (5 mcg) delivered by the Respimat® inhaler in comparison to placebo (i.e. on top of usual care) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were entered in the study. All subjects were free to withdraw from the clinical trial at any time for any reason given. Close monitoring of all subjects was adhered to throughout the trial conduct. Rescue medication was not provided because the study drug was administered on top of usual maintenance therapy.
    Background therapy
    Patients maintained their background therapy , including inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) as long as the dose had been stabilised for at least 2 weeks prior to study start and remained stable for the first 12 weeks of the study.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    All subjects were screened for eligibility to participate in the trial. Subjects attended specialist sites which would then ensure that they (the subjects) met all strictly implemented inclusion/exclusion criteria. Subjects were not randomised to trial treatment if any one of the specific entry criteria were violated.

    Notes
    [1] - 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: Baseline characteristics are based on patients who were randomised after successfully completing the screening period and received at least one of the trial medication.

    Mixed Model Repeated Measurement (MMRM) results. Response was defined as change from baseline in percent of predicted at the end of 12-week double-blind treatment period and is therefore expressed in percent of predicted. Means are adjusted for treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, age group (<= 11, >=12), baseline and baseline-by-visit interaction. FEV1 AUC0-4h was normalised for time and was calculated using the trapezoidal rule divided by the observation time (4 h). The full analysis set (FAS) was defined as all patients in the treated set who had at least 1 baseline pulmonary function test (PFT) measurement and at least 1 post-baseline on-treatment PFT measurement. No patients <5 years of age were included in the FAS.

    Change from Baseline in Revised Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire (CFQ-R) Score
    End point description
    Different format of CFQ-R are used depending of the patients' age. Adolescent and adult format of CFQ-R is used for patients of 14 years and older, for younger children a parent version and a children format is used. In case parent and children questionnaires were filled out, the children questionnaire is taken into account. Scores were calculated for each domain of the CFQ-R which are presented separately. A score of 100 corresponds to the highest quality of life possible, whereas a score of 0 corresponds to the lowest quality of life possible. Increasing score indicates better health.
