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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 multicentre, randomised, double-blind, active-controlled, 3-way cross-over study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a free combination of 3 doses of CHF 5259 (glycopyrrolate) plus Foster® 100/6µg (fixed combination of beclomethasone dipropionate plus formoterol) in a metered dose inhaler for the treatment of patients with uncontrolled asthma under medium doses of inhaled corticosteroids plus long-acting β2-agonists

    Due to the EudraCT – Results system being out of service between 31 July 2015 and 12 January 2016, these results have been published in compliance with revised timelines.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy of a free combination of CHF 5259 (glycopyrrolate bromide [GB]) at 3 dose levels plus Foster 100/6 µg (fixed combination of beclomethasone dipropionate [BDP] plus formoterol [FF]) in a pressurised metered dose inhaler by comparison with Foster 100/6 µg in terms of FEV1 AUC0-12h normalised by time on Day 42.
    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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    This multinational study was conducted at 44 clinical sites (43 active) in 6 countries. The recruitment took place in: Bulgaria (10 sites) Germany (8 sites) Hungary (7 sites) Italy (5 sites: 4 active and 1 non-active) Poland (12 sites) UK (2 sites)

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 322 patients were screened, of whom 211 were randomised to one of the following treatment sequence groups: •Sequence A-C-B: n = 53; •Sequence B-D-C: n = 53; •Sequence C-A-D: n = 53; •Sequence D-B-A: n = 52. 201 (95.3%) patients completed the study.

    Blinding implementation details
    To maintain the blind during the treatment period, patients inhaled study medication from four identical white canisters daily, regardless of treatment regimen. The randomisation list was provided to the labelling facility but was not available to patients, investigators, monitors or employees of CROMSOURCE involved in the management of the trial before unblinding of the data, unless in case of emergency. The Sponsor’s clinical team was also blinded during the study.

    Change from baseline in through FEV1 at 12 h post-dose on Day 1
    End point description
    Trough FEV1 at 12 hours is determined as the average of the 11.5 and 12 hours post-dose FEV1 assessments. Baseline value is the mean of the pre-dose measurement of FEV1 at Day 1 of each treatment period recorded at 45 and 10 minutes prior to study drug intake.

    The peak FEV1 is the maximum FEV1 value obtained between 15 minutes and 12 hours post-dose. Post-dose FEV1 on Day 1 of each treatment period was recorded at 15’; 30’; 45’; 1h; 2h; 3h, 4h,6h, 8h, 11h30 and 12h post-study drug intake. Baseline is the average of the FEV1 pre-dose measurements on Day 1 of each period (recorded at 45 and 10 minuted prior to study drug intake).

    E-peakflow meter/e-diary was completed at home on a daily basis morning and evening (daily download of the e-peakflow meter/e-diary). During the two wash-out periods, only the compliance to the wash-out medication was collected. During the run-in period and the three treatment periods, PEF (L/min) was monitored twice daily before the intake of the run-in medication or study medication. Morning measurements were done approximately between 7:00 am and 9:00 am and evening measurements approximately between 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm. An alarm reminded the patients to perform measurements. During each measurement session, the patient performed three blows and data were recorded in the device.

    The peak FVC is the maximum FVC value obtained between 15 minutes and 12 hours post-dose. Post-dose FVC on Day 1 of each treatment period was recorded at 15’; 30’; 45’; 1h; 2h; 3h, 4h,6h, 8h, 11h30 and 12h post-study drug intake. Baseline is the average of the FVC pre-dose measurements on Day 1 of each period (recorded at 45 and 10 minuted prior to study drug intake).

    Change from baseline in peak FVC on Day 42
    End point description
    The peak FVC is the maximum FVC value obtained between 15 minutes and 12 hours post-dose. Post-dose FVC on Day 1 of each treatment period was recorded at 15’; 30’; 45’; 1h; 2h; 3h, 4h,6h, 8h, 11h30 and 12h post-study drug intake. Baseline is the average of the FVC pre-dose measurements on Day 1 of each period (recorded at 45 and 10 minuted prior to study drug intake).
