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

    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Lung attacks
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Diseases [C] - Respiratory Tract Diseases [C08]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective is to evaluate the treatment effect of once daily administrations of AQX-1125 compared to placebo over 12 weeks on recurrent exacerbations as measured by EXACT (EXAcerbation of Chronic pulmonary disease Tool) in subjects with COPD following a recent exacerbation.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To evaluate the treatment effect of once daily administrations of AQX-1125 compared to placebo over 12 weeks on:
    • The COPD Assessment Tool (CAT) score
    • Pulmonary function (including but not limited to forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1])
    • The frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs) and changes in, physical examination, vital signs, ophthalmic examination, laboratory tests, weight, electrocardiogram (ECG), and concomitant medications
    • The pharmacokinetics (PK) of AQX-1125 in plasma
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Provide written informed consent and be willing and able to comply with all aspects of the study requirements
    2. Male or female aged ≥40 years at screening
    3. History of COPD for at least 18 months prior to screening, characterised by excessive sputum production
    4. Chronic productive cough for at least 3 months in each of the 2 years prior to screening (if other causes of productive cough have been excluded) and/or an exacerbation of COPD with predominantly bronchitic symptoms at enrolment
    5. At least 2 documented exacerbations during the last 18 months prior to screening.
    If the subject has experienced exacerbations during the last 18 months that were self-treated at home and subsequently documented by a physician, this can be documented at Visit 1
    6. Presentation of a diagnosed acute exacerbation of COPD, or have recently (within 3 days) been discharged from hospital due to an acute exacerbation of COPD
    7. Ability to perform pulmonary function testing and with documented fixed airway obstruction determined by an FEV1 /forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio (post-bronchodilator) of <0.70 and a predicted FEV1 value of 30%-80% of normal within the 6 months prior to or at Visit 1.
    8. Former smoker or current smoker, both with a smoking history of at least 10 pack years
    9. Female subjects should be of non-child bearing potential. They should be one year or more post-menopause, previously surgically sterilised, or have had a hysterectomy. From the screening visit until 1 month after last dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP), male subjects must agree to use condoms with any sexual intercourse with women of child bearing potential and have partners who use adequate methods of contraception (e.g. sterilisation, hormone implants, hormone injections, some intrauterine devices, or combination birth control pills). If male subjects have had a confirmed vasectomy use of condoms is not required.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Diagnosis of other relevant lung disease (e.g. asthma, cystic fibrosis [CF] or significant non-CF bronchiectasis)
    2. Known alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency
    3. Treatment with roflumilast or theophylline within 1 month prior to screening
    4. History of alcohol or drug abuse in the past 3 years prior to screening
    5. Participation in another clinical research study within 90 days prior to screening
    6. Lobar pneumonia, with current positive chest X-ray (CXR) or within the 3 months prior to screening including the presence of any new radiological infiltrate on CXR within the previous two weeks
    7. Have any other conditions, disease or circumstances which, in the opinion of the Investigator, could compromise safety of the subject or confound the interpretation of the study results. This will include a relevant documented medical history of clinically significant irregularities in kidney function, liver function or blood counts; or malignant or premalignant irregularities of the urinary bladder.
    8. Serious and/or life-threatening co-existing conditions that would merit acute hospitalisation, aside from the acute exacerbation event
    These include, but are not limited to, acute myocardial infarction, acute renal failure, acute pancreatitis, thromboembolic disease, and diabetic ketoacidosis
    9. Hospitalisation for more than 7 days for current acute exacerbation, or the requirement for intubation during hospitalisation
    10. For outpatients, prior medical history indicating that previous exacerbations required >3 weeks to stabilise
    11. Known intolerance to micro-crystalline cellulose (Avicel® PH-102)
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)

    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Twelve weeks
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    • The difference in number of COPD exacerbations and time to first COPD exacerbation between subjects treated with AQX-1125 or placebo
    • The difference in change from baseline in CAT score between subjects treated with AQX-1125 or placebo
    • The difference in change from baseline in pulmonary function (FEV1, expressed in litres and as percent predicted normal) between subjects treated with AQX 1125 and subjects treated with placebo
    • The difference in number and frequency of AEs, physical examination, ECG, ophthalmology examination, and concomitant medications and changes from baseline for clinical laboratory assessments and vital signs between subjects treated with AQX 1125 and subjects treated with placebo
    • Trough AQX-1125 concentrations in plasma
