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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 ).

    Clinical Trial Results:
    A 52-week treatment, multi-center, randomized, doubleblind, double dummy, parallel-group, active controlled study to compare the effect of QVA149 (indacaterol maleate / glycopyrronium bromide) with salmeterol/fluticasone on the rate of exacerbations in subjects with moderate to very severe COPD. Due to EudraCT system limitations, which EMA is aware of, data using 999 as data points in this record are not an accurate representation of the clinical trial results.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate that QVA149 (110/50 μg o.d.) was at least non-inferior to salmeterol/fluticasone (50/500 μg b.i.d.) in terms of rate of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exacerbations (mild/moderate/severe) during 52 weeks of treatment
    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.

    COPD exacerbations starting between first dose and one day after last treatment are included. COPD exacerbations that occurred within 7 days of each other are collapsed as one event. Estimates are from a generalized linear model assuming a negative binomial distribution with terms for treatment, baseline total symptom score, baseline COPD exacerbation history (i.e. number of COPD exacerbations during the past 12 months prior to study), smoking status at screening, ICS use at screening, airflow limitation severity, and region. As the offset variable log(exposure time in years) was used.

    COPD exacerbations starting between date of first dose and one day after last treatment are included. COPD exacerbations that occurred within 7 days of each other are collapsed as one event with the worst severity. A COPD exacerbation of moderate severity meets the symptoms definition in the protocol and requires treatment with systemic corticosteroids and/or antibiotics. A severe COPD exacerbation requires hospitalization. Estimates are from a generalized linear model assuming a negative binomial distribution with terms for treatment, baseline total symptom score, baseline COPD exacerbation history (i.e. number of COPD exacerbations during the past 12 months prior to study), smoking status at screening, ICS use at screening, airflow limitation severity, and region.

Generalized linear model assuming a negative binomial distribution with terms for treatment, baseline total symptom score, baseline COPD exacerbation history (i.e. number of COPD exacerbations during the past 12 months prior to study), smoking status at screening, ICS use at screening, airflow limitation severity, and region. The offset variable log(exposure time in years) was used. COPD exacerbations starting between first dose and one day after last treatment are included.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    17 May 2013
    Issued when approximately 3000 patients had been screened and approximately 1350 patients had been randomized in 38 countries, was prepared to remove the Sub-Study Data Analysis and to include the collection of the CAT (COPD Assessment Test) score at Visit 1
    04 Mar 2014
    Issued to remove serum cortisol analyses from the study as data from a previous QVA149 clinical trial demonstrated that there were no clinically significant changes in serum cortisol levels, when QVA149 was compared to salmeterol/fluticasone, following 26 weeks of treatment. In addition, published data on the effect of inhaled corticosteroid therapy on serum cortisol levels has been varied, with minimal effects reported in most studies.

    Interruptions (globally)
    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
