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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    1. To assess the long-term bronchodilation of aclidinium bromide/formoterol fixed dose combinations compared to individual components and placebo, when administered BID via inhalation to COPD patients 2. To assess the benefits of aclidinium bromide/formoterol fixed dose combinations in COPD symptoms, disease-related health status and COPD exacerbations compared to individual components and placebo, when administered BID via inhalation to COPD patients 3. To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of aclidinium bromide/formoterol fixed dose combinations compared to individual components and placebo when administered BID via inhalation to COPD patients
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was performed according to the local regulations of each country where the study was conducted, the directives of the Declaration of Helsinki for biomedical research in humans adopted by the 18th World Medical Assembly, Helsinki (1964), revised at Tokyo (1975), Venice (1983), Hong Kong (1989), Somerset West (1996) and Edinburgh (2000) including the Note of Clarification in paragraph 29, Washington (2002), Tokyo (2004) and Seoul (2008), as well as in compliance with the guidelines of the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Salbutamol pMDI (100 μg/puff) was allowed during the study as relief medication provided the 6 hours washout was maintained prior to any scheduled visit

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 The study was conducted in 22 countries (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine and UK). The first patient was screened in October 2011 and the last patient visit was in January 2013

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 In total 2443 patients were screened, of whom, 1729 patients were considered eligible and were randomised into the study. In total, 714 (29.2%) patients were considered screen failures, the main reason being non-fulfilment of inclusion/exclusion criteria (88.9%)
