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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    There is a significant unmet medical need for the treatment of Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF); there is no effective therapy for treatment of IPF in the UK, and only pirfenidone is approved for treatment. The main goal of the current study is to evaluate the effect of Fostair on the biomarkers of platelet activation in IPF disease. We believe that platelets- cell fragments which have a major role in wound healing, also have a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of IPF and whether this translates in to a clinically beneficial effect of Fostair on IPF disease. The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of Fostair fine particle Metered dose inhaler on markers of pulmonary fibrosis. Primary endpoint will be a change in biomarkers of platelet activation.
