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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Clinical Trial Results:
    A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled three-period incomplete cross over study to compare the efficacy of QAW039 alone and in combination with Montelukast in patients with allergic rhinitis using an Environmental Exposure Chamber Due to EudraCT system limitations, which EMA is aware of, results of crossover studies are not accurately represented in this record.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy of QAW039 225 mg twice daily (b.i.d.) and Montelukast 10 mg once daily (q.d.) administered together as a free combination compared to QAW039 225 mg b.i.d monotherapy in patients with grass pollen-induced intermittent allergic rhinitis in an EEC challenge model. This was assessed by the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) averaged over the last two hours (2-4h) of exposure following 14 days treatment with QAW039 and/or Montelukast or matched placebo.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial. After each challenge the subjects had an option to receive a Terbutaline Turbohaler as rescue medication.

    Change in Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) From Baseline at 14 days
    End point description
    Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) was averaged over the last two hours (2-4hours) of exposure following 14 days treatment with QAW039 and/or Montelukast. The TNSS is a rating system of nasal symptoms, as assessed by the subject, of nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, nasal itch and sneezing, each of which is scored on a scale from 0 to 3 as follows: 0 - absent symptoms (no sign/symptoms evident); 1 - mild symptoms (sign symptom clearly present, but minimal awareness; easily tolerated); 2 - moderate symptoms (definite awareness of sign/symptom that is bothersome but tolerable); 3 - severe symptoms (sign/symptom that is hard to tolerate; causes interference with activities of daily living). This results in a total nasal symptom score ranging between 0 and 12. A negative change from baseline indicates a treatment benefit. This endpoint analyzed the pharmacodynamic (PD) analysis set, which included all subjects with available PD data and no major protocol deviations.

    Plasma Concentration Maximum (Cmax)
    End point description
    Determined at steady state in plasma. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated from plasma concentration-time data using non-compartmental methods. This endpoint analyzed the pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis set, which included all subjects with at least one available valid (i.e. not flagged for exclusion) PK concentration measurement, who received any study drug and experienced no protocol deviations with relevant impact on PK data.
