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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Adult male or non-pregnant, non-lactating female aged ≥40. Women of childbearing potential are allowed to enter the trial if they show to have a negative serum XML File Identifier: /jB0JiL+FSrqQCl6chyi5vJ+xb4= Page 23/34 pregnancy test at the Screening Visit and are using, during the last two months before the Screening Visit, at least one medically approved and highly effective method of birth control defined as those which result in a low failure rate (i.e less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, oral contraceptives combined with at least one barrier method, hormonal IUDs, sexual abstinence or vasectomy of the partner. (A female is considered to be of childbearing potential unless she has had a hysterectomy, is at least one year post-menopausal or has undergone tubal ligation). 2. Current or ex-cigarette smoker, with a smoking history of at least 10 pack-years. Pack-years are calculated by dividing the number of cigarettes smoked per day by 20 (the number of cigarettes in a pack) and multiplying this figure by the number of years a person has smoked. For example, a person who smokes 40 cigarettes a day and has smoked for 10 years would have a 20 pack-year smoking history (40 cigarettes per day ÷ 20 cigarettes per pack = 2; 2 x 10 years of smoking = 20 pack-year history). (Patients smoking other tobacco types will not be allowed, unless they meet the cigarette criterion as well). 3. Patient with a clinical diagnosis of stable COPD according to the GOLD Guidelines at the Screening Visit (http://www.goldcopd.org). 4. Patient whose FEV1/FVC at the Screening Visit measured between 10- 15 minutes post inhalation of 400 μg of salbutamol is < 70% (i.e., 100 x Post-salbutamol FEV1 /FVC < 70%). 5. Patient with a diagnosis of moderate to severe COPD according to the GOLD Guidelines classification (stages II and III) at the Screening Visit: FEV1 measured between 10-15 minutes post inhalation of 400 μg of salbutamol is 30% ≤ FEV1 < 80% of the predicted normal value (i.e., 100 x Post-salbutamol FEV1/ Predicted FEV1 must be < 80% and ≥ 30%). (Predicted normal values to be used for calculation purposes are to be based on European Community for Steel and Coal predicted values (Quanjer et al. 199324)). 6. Patient must be able to perform repeatable pulmonary function testing for FEV1 according to ATS/ERS 2005 criteria at Screening Visit.
    1. Pazienti adulti di entrambi i sessi, di età ≥40 anni. Le donne non devono essere in stato di gravidanza e non devono allattare al seno. Le donne fertili potranno partecipare alla sperimentazione se alla visita di screening presentano un risultato negativo del test di gravidanza sul siero e stanno usando, nel corso degli ultimi due mesi prima della visita di screening, almeno un metodo di controllo delle nascite clinicamente approvato e altamente efficace, con bassa percentuale di insuccesso (ovvero meno dell'1% all'anno) quando usato costantemente e correttamente, ad esempio contraccettivi impiantati, iniettabili, orali abbinati ad almeno un metodo a barriera,dispositivi intrauterini ormonali, astinenza sessuale o vasectomia del compagno (una donna è considerata fertile a meno che non sia stata sottoposta a isterectomia, sia in post-menopausa da almeno un anno o sia stata sottoposta a legatura delle tube).
    2. Fumatori/fumatrici o ex-fumatori/fumatrici con un consumo equivalente ad almeno 10 anni-pacchetto.
    Gli anni-pacchetto si calcolano dividendo per 20 (il numero di sigarette in un pacchetto) il numero di sigarette fumate al giorno e moltiplicando la cifra ottenuta per il numero di anni per cui una persona ha fumato. Ad esempio, una persona che fumi 40 sigarette al giorno e abbia fumato per 10 anni avrebbe un consumo pari a 20 anni-pacchetto (40 sigarette al giorno ÷ 20 sigarette al pacchetto = 2; 2 x 10 anni di fumo = 20 anni-pacchetto).
    (I pazienti che fumano altro tipo di tabacco non sono ammessi, a meno che soddisfino anche il criterio di fumo di sigarette).
    3. Pazienti con diagnosi clinica di BPCO (broncopneumopatia cronica ostruttiva) stabile alla visita di screening secondo le linee guida GOLD (http://www.goldcopd.org).
    4. Pazienti il cui Volume espiratorio massimo nel 1º secondo (FEV1, Forced expiratory volume in the 1st second)/Capacità vitale forzata (FVC, Forced Vital Capacity) alla visita di screening, misurato tra 10 e 15 minuti dopo l'inalazione di 400 μg di salbutamolo, sia &lt; 70% (ovvero 100 x FEV1/FVC post salbutamolo &lt; 70%).
    5. Pazienti con diagnosi clinica di BPCO da moderata a grave alla visita di screening secondo la classificazione delle linee guida GOLD (stadi II e III): l'FEV1 misurato tra 10 e 15 minuti dopo l'inalazione di 400 μg di salbutamolo è 30% ≤ FEV1 e &lt; 80% del valore normale previsto (ovvero 100 x FEV1/FEV1 previsto post salbutamolo deve essere &lt; 80% e ≥30%). [I valori normali previsti da utilizzare per i calcoli devono essere basati sui valori previsti dalla Comunità europea del carbone e dell'acciaio (Quanjer et al. 199324)].
    6. Alla visita di screening, i pazienti devono essere in grado di eseguire test di funzionalità polmonare ripetibili per l'FEV1 secondo i criteri della Società Toracica Americana (ATS, American Thoracic Association)/Società europea di malattie respiratorie (ERS, European Respiratory Society) del 2005.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Co-primary efficacy variables (at Week 24 on treatment): - Change from baseline in morning pre-dose (through) FEV1 of each aclidinium/formoterol FDC dose compared to formoterol monotherapy 12 μg. - Change from baseline in 1-hour post-morning dose FEV1 of each aclidinium/formoterol FDC dose compared to aclidinium monotherapy 400 μg.
    • Variabili di efficacia co-primarie (dopo 24 settimane di trattamento): - Variazione dal valore basale di FEV1 (valore minimo) prima della dose mattutina, determinata da ogni dose di associazione a dose fissa di aclidinio/formoterolo rispetto a 12 μg di formoterolo in monoterapia. - Variazione dal valore basale di FEV1 1 ora dopo la dose mattutina, determinata da ogni dose di associazione a dose fissa di aclidinio/formoterolo rispetto a 400 μg di aclidinio in monoterapia.

    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Improvement of TDI focal score of each aclidinium/formoterol FDC dose compared to placebo. - Change from baseline in SGRQ total score of each aclidinium/formoterol FDC dose compared to placebo.
    • Variabili di efficacia secondarie (dopo 24 settimane di trattamento): - Miglioramento del punteggio focale TDI, determinato da ogni dose di associazione a dose fissa di aclidinio/formoterolo rispetto al placebo. - Variazione dal basale del punteggio totale SGRQ, determinata da ogni dose di associazione a dose fissa di aclidinio/formoterolo rispetto al placebo.
