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.

    Clinical Trial Results:
    An open-label, crossover, interventional Phase IV study to compare the ease of use of tobramycin inhalation powder with tobramycin inhalation solution and nebulized colistimethate for the treatment of pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with cystic fibrosis Due to EudraCT system limitations, which EMA is aware of, results of crossover studies and data using 999 as data points are not accurately represented in this record.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To compare as a primary indicator for ease of use the mean cumulative time required to set up the delivery device (including preparation of the treatment), administer the drug, and clean the delivery device for TIP administered with the T-326 Inhaler, with the mean cumulative time to perform the same activities (including disinfection of the device, where applicable) for the patient’s usual (pre-study prescribed) inhaled antibiotic treatment for P. aeruginosa.
    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. Rescue medication for pulmonary exacerbations was allowed in this study.If a patient experienced a pulmonary exacerbation and/or worsening of the disease condition, he/she was to be treated as deemed appropriate by the investigator.

    Sputum samples were sent to a central laboratory at the start and end of 2 treatment periods. The absolute change in the number of colony forming units (CFU) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in sputum = the value of end of on/off treatment period of the cycle minus the pre-dose value at the start of that cycle. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Devices used to administer the drugs (the T-326 inhaler and nebulisers) were swabbed for contamination testing at the start and end of each treatment cycle (or discontinuation visit if the participant withdrew). No assessments were required from the T-326 inhaler when participants started the treatment period (days 1 and 57). Microbial contamination was measured according to device type and the frequency of organism growth (light/ moderate/ heavy). All nebulisers (neb) used by the participants were analyzed, including those for inhaling other medications, like mucolytics.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    22 May 2014
    Threshold values for BUN (from ≥5.7 μmol/L to ≥14.28 mmol/L [≥40 mg/dL]) and serum creatinine (≥89 μmol/L to ≥176.8 μmol/L [≥2 mg/dL]) exclusion criteria were corrected for consistency with the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC)/ PI and to avoid unnecessary screening failures. The threshold value for serum creatinine in the treatment discontinuation criteria was corrected. The threshold value for BUN in the discontinuation criteria was deleted as not considered medically relevant. Creatinine clearance as an exclusion criterion was deleted due to the threshold value being updated to cover the detection of potential renal AEs. Audiology testing requirements at baseline and/or at the subsequent visits were updated to be in line with the SmPC and PI. They were at the discretion of the investigator. Audiology assessments were not required from a subset of patients at selected sites, but from all patients who had a medical history of hearing loss or who experience AEs related to hearing loss during the study. The wording for the primary objective was updated to clarify that the cumulative times required to a) set up the delivery device (including preparation of the treatment), b) administer the drug and c) clean the device (including disinfecting the nebulizers where applicable) are being compared between the T-326 Inhaler and the nebulizers. The wordings for the study purpose and for one secondary objective were updated to clarify that the testing of the inhalation devices for microbiological contamination relates to all nebulizers used by the patients, including those for inhaling other medications (e.g. mucolytics). Clarified that semi-quantitative culture data for non-P. aeruginosa pathogens was collected and analyzed for this study. Clarified that re-screening of patients was allowed.
