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   43839   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7280   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
    Adult and adolescent subjects, of either sex and any race, at least 12 years of age, with a diagnosis of persistent asthma for at least 1 year will be selected to participate in the study.Subjects must meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria to receive treatment assignment. 1. A subject must report using one of the following asthma therapies and meet the associated requirements defined below:ICS or ICS with one or more adjunctive therapies (LABA, LTRA or theophylline) at a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization. Note: Any subject maintained on a stable high dose ICS with or without one or more adjunctive therapies (LABA, LTRA or theophylline) must have an ACQ-6 Total Score < 1.5 (controlled) at the Screening Visit.Leukotriene receptor antagonist (i.e. LTRAs such as montelukast, zafirlukast, or pranlukast) OR xanthines (e.g. theophylline) as monotherapy at a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization.Note:Subjects on LTRAs, or xanthines, are eligible only if they record an ACQ-6 Total Score of  1.5 (not well controlled) and in the investigator’s clinical judgment, the subject’s asthma severity could justify treatment with ICS ±LABA.Daily albuterol/salbutamol (used on most days) without any other asthma controller, in the 4 weeks prior to randomization, but not more than 8 inhalations a day on 2 consecutive days, or 25 inhalations in one day, in the 7 days prior to Visit 1. Note:Subjects on daily albuterol/salbutamol are eligible only if they record an ACQ-6 Total Score of  1.5 and in the investigator’s clinical judgment, the subject’s asthma severity could justify treatment with ICS ± LABA.
    Per lo studio saranno selezionati soggetti adulti e adolescenti, di entrambi i sessi e di tutte le etnie, di almeno 12 anni, con una diagnosi di asma persistente per almeno 1 anno. Per poter ricevere il trattamento assegnato i soggetti devono soddisfare tutti i criteri di inclusione e nessun criterio di esclusione. 1. Criteri chiave di inclusione: Il soggetto deve indicare di utilizzare almeno una delle seguenti terapie antiasmatiche e deve soddisfare i requisiti associati definiti di seguito: ICS o ICS associati a una o più terapie aggiuntive (LABA, LTRA o teofillina) a un dosaggio stabile per almeno 4 settimane prima della randomizzazione. Nota: Tutti i soggetti trattati con un ICS a dosaggio stabile elevato associato o meno a una o più terapie aggiuntive (LABA, LTRA o teofillina) devono avere un punteggio totale ACQ-6 &lt; 1,5 (controllato) alla visita di screening. Antagonisti del recettore dei leucotrieni ( cioè LTRA come montelukast, zafirlukast, o pranlukast) OPPURE le xantine (ad es. la teofillina) in monoterapia a un dosaggio stabile per almeno 4 settimane prima della randomizzazione. Nota: I soggetti trattati con LTRA o xantine sono eleggibili solo se registrano un punteggio totale ACQ-6 1,5 (non ben controllato) e se, in base al giudizio clinico dello sperimentatore, la gravità della condizione asmatica può giustificare il trattamento con ICS ±LABA. Somministrazione giornaliera di albuterolo/salbutamolo (utilizzato quasi tutti i giorni) come unico farmaco antiasmatico (non più di 8 inalazioni al giorno per due giorni consecutivi nelle 4 settimane prima della randomizzazione oppure  25 inalazioni/die nei 7 giorni prima della Visita 1). Nota: I soggetti trattati con somministrazioni giornaliere di albuterolo/salbutamolo sono eleggibili solo se registrano un punteggio totale ACQ-6  1,5 e se, in base al giudizio clinico dello sperimentatore, la gravità della condizione asmatica può giustificare il trattamento con ICS ±LABA.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    A subject with unstable asthma. Subjects who meet any of the following criteria (based on the 7 days prior to randomization), despite adequate dosing technique, adherence to prescribed asthma medication, and appropriate use of rescue medication, are deemed unstable: Asthma symptoms that persists throughout the day on 2 consecutive days; Nighttime awakening due to asthma ≥3 nights in a week Albuterol/salbutamol rescue use (not for prevention of EIB) > 8 puffs/day for 2 consecutive days or 25 puffs in one day.(Note: Prophylactic use of albuterol/salbutamol is permitted, at the judgment of the investigator, when previously prescribed for EIB. However, SABA should not be otherwise taken in anticipation of asthma symptoms.) Asthma symptoms so severe that the subject was limited in their ability to perform normal daily activities Note:Subjects meeting any of these unstable asthma criteria are ineligible to be randomized. At the judgment of the investigator, subjects may be rescreened once per calendar year (approximately every 52 weeks), after waiting at least 4-weeks from the initial date of screening. A subject with COPD, cystic fibrosis (CF), or other significant, non-asthmatic, lung disease. A subject with a clinically significant abnormality, illness or disorder of any body or organ system, which in the judgment of the investigator, could interfere with the study or the subject’s ability to participate in the full duration of the trial, or could require prohibited medications or other treatment which could interfere with the trial. Note: The investigator is advised to review the subject's medical history in the context of the most current investigational brochure and prescribing information. A subject with a cumulative history of smoking greater than 10-pack years. A subject with a significant underlying cardiovascular condition, including cardiac ischemia, arrhythmia, prolonged QTc interval, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (idiopathic subvalvular aortic stenosis), which in the judgment of the investigator may contraindicate use of a beta-agonist. A subject who had an asthma exacerbation within 4 weeks of randomization. An asthma exacerbation is considered a clinical deterioration of asthma that includes at least one of the following: Use of systemic corticosteroids (tabAn in-patient hospitalization (defined as a >24 hour stay in hospital or equivalent facility, depending on the country and healthcare system. A subject who reports more than 4 separate asthma exacerbations (as defined above) within 52 weeks prior to the Baseline Visit. Each exacerbation must be separated by > 7 days to be considered a separate event. Note: Investigators should use clinical judgment, considering the subject's history of exacerbation, including the severity and interval since the last exacerbation per current clinical guidelines, in determining whether a subject with multiple exacerbations in the prior year should be enrolled in the study.A subject who reports more than 2 separate hospitalizations (as defined above) within 52 weeks of the randomization visit.Each hospitalization must be separated by > 7 days to be considered a separate event.

Sono considerati instabili i soggetti che incontrano i seguenti criteri (valutati sulle condizioni rilevate nei 7 giorni prima della randomizzazione), nonostante un’adeguata tecnica di dosaggio, l’aderenza al farmaco antiasmatico prescritto e l’uso appropriato di un farmaco di soccorso: Sintomi asmatici che persistono per l’intera giornata, per due giorni consecutivi Risvegli notturni dovuti all’asma per più di 3 notti in una settimana Uso di albuterolo/salbutamolo di soccorso (non per la prevenzione dell’EIB) &gt; 8 puff/giorno per 2 giorni consecutivi o  25 puff in un giorno. (Nota: L’uso profilattico di albuterolo/salbutamolo è permesso, a giudizio dello sperimentatore, se precedentemente prescritto per il trattamento dell’EIB. Tuttavia, i farmaci SABA non dovrebbero essere assunti per prevenire i sintomi dell’asma.) Sintomi dell’asma tanto gravi da limitare la capacità del soggetto di svolgere le normali attività quotidiane Nota: I soggetti che incontrano alcuni dei criteri di asma instabile non sono eleggibili per la randomizzazione. A giudizio dello sperimentatore, i soggetti possono essere nuovamente sottoposti a screening una volta l’anno (circa ogni 52 settimane), dopo aver atteso almeno 4 settimane dalla data iniziale di screening. Un soggetto affetto da COPD, fibrosi cistica (CF) o un’altra patologia polmonare significativa, non asmatica. Un soggetto con un’anomalia clinicamente significativa, patologia o disordine del corpo o di un singolo organo che, a giudizio dello sperimentatore, potrebbe interferire con lo studio o con la capacità del soggetto di partecipare allo studio per tutta la sua durata, o potrebbe richiedere farmaci proibiti o un altro trattamento che può interferire con la sperimentazione. Nota: Si consiglia allo sperimentatore di fare l’anamnesi medica del soggetto in base a quanto riportato nella versione più recente dell’ Investigator Brochure e delle informazioni di prescrizione. Un soggetto con un’anamnesi cumulativa di fumatore superiore a 10-pacchetti per anno. Un soggetto con una condizione cardiovascolare di base, compreso ischemia cardiaca, aritmia, intervallo QTc prolungato, cardiomiopatia ipertrofica ostruttiva (stenosi aortica subvalvolare idiopatica) che, a giudizio dello sperimentatore, può sconsigliare l’uso di un beta-agonista. Un soggetto con un episodio di esacerbazione della condizione asmatica nelle 4 settimane della randomizzazione. Un episodio di esacerbazione delle condizioni asmatiche è considerato un peggioramento clinico della patologia che prevede almeno una delle seguenti condizioni: Uso di corticosteroidi sistemici (compresse, sospensioni o iniezioni) Ricovero in ospedale, (definito come permanenza in ospedale o in una struttura equivalente, in base al paese e al sistema sanitario superiore a 24 ore). Un soggetto che manifesta più di 4 episodi separati di esacerbazione della condizione asmatica (definite come indicato sopra) nelle 52 settimane prima della visita iniziale. Le esacerbazioni devono verificarsi a più di 7 giorni di distanza l’una dall’altra per essere considerate eventi separati. Nota: Gli sperimentatori dovranno fare una valutazione clinica del soggetto, analizzando la storia clinica delle eventuali esacerbazioni, inclusa la gravità e l’intervallo dall’ultimo episodio di esacerbazione asmatica in base alle linee guida correnti, e determinare se un soggetto con episodi multipli di esacerbazione nell’ultimo anno possa essere arruolato nello studio. Un soggetto che viene ricoverato in ospedale in più di due occasioni separate (come definite sopra) entro 52 settimane dalla visita di randomizzazione. I ricoveri devono avvenire almeno a 7 giorni di distanza l’uno dall’altro per essere considerati eventi separati.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary safety endpoint for this trial is the time-to-first serious asthma outcome (composite endpoint of asthma-related: hospitalizations, intubations, and deaths) and is described in the above statistical method section.
    L’endpoint primario di sicurezza per questa sperimentazione è il tempo fino al primo episodio di asma grave (un endpoint composto di condizioni associate all’asma quali: ospedalizzazioni, intubazioni e decessi) ed è descritto nella precedente sezione relativa al metodo statistico.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    number of hospitalizations, number of intubations, and deaths
    numero di ospedalizzazioni, numero di intubazione e decessi.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    The key secondary efficacy endpoint is the time-to-first asthma exacerbation (as defined above). The key secondary efficacy hypothesis will be evaluated using the Cox proportional-hazard model with covariates, the same as those described for the primary safety analysis. Kaplan-Meier curves will also be plotted to display treatment responses. Superiority of MF/F MDI BID is determined if the HR of MF/F MDI BID to MF MDI BID is less than 1 and achieves statistical significance (one-sided p-value < 0.025). Further details are provided in the efficacy analysis section.
    L’endpoint chiave secondario di efficacia è il tempo fino al primo episodio di esacerbazione dell’asma (definito come sopra). L’ipotesi chiave secondaria di efficacia sarà valutata utilizzando il modello dei rischi proporzionali di Cox con covarianti, lo stesso descritto per l’analisi primaria di sicurezza. Per visualizzare le risposte al trattamento saranno rappresentate anche le curve di Kaplan-Meier. La superiorità di MF/F MDI BID è determinata se l’HR di MF/F MDI BID rispetto a MF MDI BID è inferiore a 1 e ottiene una significatività statistica ( p-value ad una coda < 0,025).Ulteriori dettagli sono forniti nella sezione sulle analisi di efficacia
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
