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   43874   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   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.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    We wish to ascertain the effectiveness of the two possible treatments for Aspergillus infection in CF (voriconazole and itraconazole) and compare these to each other. Effectiveness will be assessed by the effect on growth of Aspergillus in the sputum, which we will also confirm with more sensitive techniques based on detecting Aspergillus DNA.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    We are also interested in how quality of life and severity of CF symptoms respond to treatment of Aspergillus infection, how long the treatment needs to be given to be effective, what side effects patients experience (and how these differ between treatments) and how easy it is for CF patients to achieve effective drug levels. To do this we will measure the following outcomes:
    •Quality of life
    •Effect on lung function (forced expiratory volume in 1 second)
    •Use of additional antibiotics and steroids (often given to CF patients when unwell, so a valid measure of clinical status)
    •Drug absorption will be monitored by looking at levels of the antifungal agents in the blood.
    •Time to effect on sputum cultures of Aspergillus.
    •Effect of treatment on measures of allergic response to Aspergillus.
    •Side effect and safety profiles.

    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    - patients with a contraindication to one of the antifungal agents
    evaluated,
    - pregnant women or nursing mothers,

    known prolongation of QTc interval > 450 msec in men and > 470 msec
    in women,
    - inability to follow or to understand the study procedures.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary evaluation criterion is the percentage of patients with a negativisation of sputum aspergillus cultures in 2 successive samples, according to a standardised technique.

    We have given priority to the course and outcome of sputum aspergillus culture as the primary criterion because it is objective and indisputable. Given the confounding factors which can interfere in clinical criteria (progressive episode of the disease, viral or bacterial infectious complication, etc.)the latter will be analysed as secondary criteria.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    6 months
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    At 2 weeks after initiation of therapy :
    - measurement of plasma concentrations of antifungal agents and
    testing at 4 weeks in case of dose adjustment,
    - safety of AFs including measurement of hepatic transaminases,
    - number of courses of steroids and antibiotics and adverse events
    recording,
    At 4, 8, 16 and 24 weeks after initiation of therapy :
    - quality of life self-questionnaire scores (appendix 3), dyspnoea scale
    scores, 6 minute walking test, FEV1 value, and number of courses of
    steroids and antibiotics,
    - course of different laboratory test indicators (sputum culture and PCR,
    IgG, total and specific IgE, eosinophilia),
    - safety of the antifungal agents.
    At 1 month after the end of treatment :
    - clinical examination with a 6 minute walking test, FEV1 value, number
    of courses of steroids and antibiotics, and adverse events recording,
    - and a final sputum collection.
    After the end of treatment :
    - analysis of mycological failures (defined as persistence of a positive
    culture) by a study over time of the course and outcome of fungal
    biodiversity of isolates (sequential study of chemosensitivity to different
    antifungal agents and molecular typing).
    a study of the anti-inflammatory effect of azoles by measurement of
    serum and pulmonary pro-inflammatory cytokines (measurement of proinflammatory
    cytokines in the supernatants of the sputum (TNF-α,
    interleukin (IL)-8, IL-6, MMP1, MMP2, MMP9, EMMPRIN, MPO and free
    radicals) relating to the Group on Inflammation of the Federation of the
    CRC-CF (M. Fayon) and our research unit EA SeRAIC 4427 (University of
    Rennes 1).
