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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Cystic Fibrosis
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this pilot study is to see whether giving low dose inhaled nitric oxide in addition to standard intravenous antibiotic therapy (during a pulmonary exacerbation in patients with cystic fibrosis) will increase the effectiveness of the antibiotic therapy due to the disruption and killing of microcolonies of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) bacteria.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Laboratory

    1. To compare the effect of low dose inhaled nitric oxide and placebo on the amount of PA bacteria in sputum.

    2. To estimate the effect of low dose inhaled nitric oxide given with standard antibiotic therapy on the whole community of bacteria within the CF lung.

    3. To estimate the NO levels in sputum in each group.

    4. To look at the types and variety of bacteria in the wider community of bacteria found in the CF lung during an exacerbation and to compare this between the two groups.

    Clinical

    1. To assess the effect of inhaled NO on lung function measured by FEV1.

    2. To assess the effect of low dose inhaled nitric oxide on exhaled nitric oxide levels.

    3. To assess the effect of low dose inhaled nitric oxide on Health Related Quality Of Life using the CFQ-UK?

    4. To determine the appropriate clinical endpoints for a future larger trial of nitric oxide in participants with CF undergoing IV antibiotic therapy for an exacerbation?
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    • Adolescents and young adults with cystic fibrosis aged 12 or above
    • Colonised with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (50% or more of all cultures in the last 12 months positive for Pseudomonas aeruginosa)

    Criteria for randomisation:
    • Requiring antibiotic therapy for a pulmonary exacerbation:

    A pulmonary exacerbation will be defined according to the criteria published by the 1994 cystic fibrosis foundation microbiology and infectious disease consensus and used in recent large clinical trials.

    The presence of 3 of the following 11 criteria:
     Increased cough
     Increased sputum production, change in appearance of expectorated sputum production, or both
     Fever (greater than or equal to 38°C for at least 4 hrs in a 24 hrs period) on more than one occasion in the previous week
     Weight loss greater than or equal to 1kg or 5% of bodyweight associated with anorexia and decreased dietary intake
     School or work absenteeism (due to illness) in the previous week
     Increased respiratory rate, increased work of breathing, or both
     New findings on chest examination (e.g. rales, wheezing, crackles)
     Decreased exercise tolerance
     Decrease in FEV1 of greater than or equal to 10% from previous baseline study within the past 3 months

    • Treatment with an investigational drug or device within the last 3 months prior to enrolment
    • Patients who are pregnant (a pregnancy test will be carried out for females of 11 years and above as is standard practice for clinical trials)

    F.3.3.1Women of childbearing potential not using contraception For clinical trials recorded in the database before the 10th March 2011 this question read: "Women of childbearing potential" and did not include the words "not using contraception". An answer of yes could have included women of child bearing potential whether or not they would be using contraception. The answer should therefore be understood in that context. This trial was recorded in the database on 2010-12-31. Yes
    F.3.3.2Women of child-bearing potential using contraception Yes
    F.3.3.3Pregnant women No
    F.3.3.4Nursing women No

    Children aged 12-17. Parents will be asked to give consent and children will be asked for their assent to take part.

    Women of childbearing age will have to take a pregnancy test before randomisation as they cannot receive NO if they are pregnant.

    F.5 Plans for treatment or care after the subject has ended the participation in the trial (if it is different from the expected normal treatment of that condition)
    There is no treatment available after the trial as this is a pilot to establish the basis for a large randomised controlled trial.
