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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Compare the efficacy and safety of UMEC/VI Inhalation Powder (62.5/25 μg once daily) with fluticasone propionate/salmeterol (500/50 μg twice-daily) over 12 weeks in subjects with COPD who have a history of infrequent COPD exacerbations
    Protection of trial subjects
    Several measures were taken to protect trials subjects: these included adverse event monitoring throughout the study, frequent clinic visits (approximately every 4 weeks) to monitor subject status, exclusion of patients with clinically significant and uncontrolled medical conditions and/or ECG findings, and use of treatment arms where all patients received pharmacologic treatment that was appropriate for the disease and disease severity under study. Fluticasone propionate/salmeterol combination inhalation powder is a marketed product and was administered according to the local label. Fluticasone propionate/salmeterol has an acceptable safety profile for use. This conclusion is supported by the results of previously performed clinical studies and post-marketing experience (see local label). All patients were on active treatment.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Although 1009 participants were enrolled in the trial, only 717 were randomized to treatment. Of these, 716 participants comprised the Intent-to-Treat Population (participants randomized to treatment who received >=1 dose of randomized study medication in the treatment period).

    Change from Baseline (BL) in 0 to 24 hour weighted mean serial forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) at Day 84
    End point description
    FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. The weighted mean was calculated from the pre-dose FEV1 and post-dose FEV1 measurements at 5 and 15 minutes and 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 (pre-evening dose), 13, 15, 18, 23, and 24 hours after the morning dose. Analysis was performed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with covariates of treatment, Baseline FEV1 (mean of the two assessments made 30 minutes and 5 minutes pre-dose on Day 1), and smoking status.

    Change from Baseline (BL) in trough forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) at Day 85
    End point description
    FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. BL is defined as the mean of the assessments made 30 and 5 min pre-dose on treatment (trt) Day 1. Trough FEV1 on Day 85 is defined as the mean of the FEV1 values obtained 23 and 24 hours after morning dosing on Day 84. Analysis was performed using a repeated measures model with covariates of trt, BL (mean of the 2 assessments made 30 and 5 min pre-dose on Day 1), smoking status, day, day by BL and day by trt interactions. The model used all available trough FEV1 values recorded on Days 28, 56, 84, and 85. Missing data were not directly imputed in this analysis; however, all non-missing data for a par. were used to estimate the trt effect for trough FEV1 at Day 85. Change from BL=value at Day 84 minus value at BL. Par. analyzed were those with data available at the time point; but, all par. without missing covariate information were included in the analysis.
