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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate that BDP suspension for inhalation twice a day for 14 days added to antibiotic therapy improves clinical success rate and accelerates recovery in patients with acute rhinosinusitis.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines and local law requirements . Other than routine care, no specific measures for protection of trial subjects were implemented.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 166 patients were randomised to receive the assigned treatment: 83 were assigned to the nebulised BDP group and 83 were assigned to the Placebo group. Nine patients, 2 (2.4% of randomised) in the BDP group and 7 (8.4%) in the Placebo group, discontinued the study.

    Roles blinded
    Subject, Investigator, Monitor, Data analyst, Carer, Assessor
    Blinding implementation details
    The realization of the double blind design was made it possible by the use of a BDP suspension for nebulization placebo UDV, which was totally indistinguishable from the respective active in terms of size, shape, colour and mode of inhalation
