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   44234   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7336   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 objectives of this study were to assess the effect of aclidinium bromide versus placebo in improving bronchodilation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms, sleep quality and physical activity after 3 weeks of treatment in patients with stable moderate and severe COPD and to assess the safety and tolerability of aclidinium bromide 400 μg administered twice daily (BID) in the same target population
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the recommendations guiding physicians in biomedical research involving human subjects adopted by the 18th World Medical Assembly of Helsinki (1964), revised at Tokyo (1975), Venice (1983), Hong-Kong (1989) and Somerset West (1996) as well as in compliance with International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. Patients were provided with relief medication, salbutamol pressurised metered dose inhaler (pMDI), 100 μg/puff, which could be used on from the time of signing of the informed consent until the end of treatment period

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 This study was conducted by 3 investigators at 3 sites in Germany. The first patient was screened in April 2015 and the last patient visit was in June 2015

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 All patients who met the study entry criteria and completed the screening assessments and the 7-day run-in period were randomised. Nine (9/39) subjects were not randomized due to screening failure (primarily for non-fulfillment of inclusion/exclusion criteria)
