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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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
    The purpose of this study is to assess whether the risk of serious asthma-related events (asthma-related hospitalizations, endotracheal intubations, and deaths) in adolescents and adults (12 years of age and older) taking inhaled fluticasone propionate/salmeterol combination is the same as those taking inhaled fluticasone propionate alone.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Study duration was 29 weeks, comprised of a randomization visit followed by a treatment period of 26 weeks and a 1-week follow-up phone call. Subjects were assessed for eligibility at screening up to 15 days prior to randomization.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Eligible adolescent and adult participants with asthma were stratified based on current asthma medication and a Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-6) score and randomized 1:1 to double-blind study treatment. A total of 11751 were enrolled; however, 72 were randomized but did not receive study treatment.

    Number of participants experiencing an event in the composite safety endpoint of serious asthma outcomes ( asthma-related hospitalization, asthma-related endotracheal intubation, or asthma-related death)
    End point description
    Composite endpoint was defined as clinically relevant endpoint that is constructed from combinations of other clinically relevant endpoints of serious asthma outcomes (i.e., asthma-related hospitalization, asthma-related endotracheal intubation, or asthma-related death). Hospitalization was defined as an inpatient stay or a >=24-hour stay in an observation area in an emergency department or other equivalent facility. Probability of having event was summarized with Kaplan-Meier estimates. Hazard ratio, confidence interval, and p-value are from a stratified Cox proportional hazard model, using randomization stratum as the stratification factor. The 95% CI provided in the table is actually the 95. Intent to treat (ITT) Population comprised of all participants randomized to study drug and who took study drug.
