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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study is to assess the inspiration profile through the NEXThaler® device in COPD patients with varying degrees of airflow limitation as per GOLD 2013 (updated) spirometric classification of disease severity.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines and local law requirements . Other than routine care, no specific measures for protection of trial subjects were implemented.

    Flow at BAM - first inhalation [1]
    End point description
    A primary efficacy variable was not defined in the study protocol. "Flow at BAM - first inhalation" was identified as PRIMARY end point for results posting purposes only, so to solve the system ERROR message requiring at least one primary end point in the study. Variables were measured by acoustic monitoring technology through the NEXThaler® during the inspiratory manoeuvre. Only data on the first inhalation are reported here.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
