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   44237   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7338   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the safety and tolerability of 28 day oral administration of BAY 85-8501 versus placebo in subjects with non-Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Bronchiectasis (BE).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The conduct of this clinical study met all local legal and regulatory requirements. The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization guideline E6: Good Clinical Practice. Before entering the study, the informed consent form was read by and explained to all subjects. Participating subjects signed informed consent form and could withdraw from the study at any time without any disadvantage and without having to provide a reason for this decision. Only investigators qualified by training and experience were selected as appropriate experts to investigate the study drug.

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent adverse events were defined as adverse events/serious adverse events that started or worsened after the start of study drug administration.

    SGRQ has been developed to measure the impact of respiratory disease on health status. The SGRQ scoring was done 0-100% with 0 being no impairment of quality of life. This was scored separately for each of 3 sections (Activity, Impact and Symptom) of the questionnaire and a summary score utilizing responses to all items was the total SGRQ score. This total score ranged from zero to 100%. Score range of change from baseline between -4 to +4 points indicate "no clinical relevant change"; less than (<) 4 points indicate "improvement"; greater than (>) 4 points indicate "deterioration".

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    08 Nov 2012
    Measurement of the concentration of neutrophil elastase in the sputum was added as a biomarker endpoint. This endpoint allowed direct measurement of NE concentration (in sputum) as a biomarker endpoint; it was inadvertently omitted in the final stage of protocol preparation.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
