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
    The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of once-daily UMEC/VI 62.5/25mcg on health-related quality of life as measured using SGRQ total score compared to once-daily placebo in subjects with COPD.
    Protection of trial subjects
    To protect trial subjects, subjects were provided with supplemental salbutamol as rescue medication and the concurrent use of inhaled corticosteroids was allowed as maintenance treatment for COPD. Subjects enrolled in the study had stable disease with no hospitalization for COPD within at least 12 weeks of screening and no use of systemic corticosteroids or antibiotics for a lower respiratory tract infection for at least 6 weeks prior to screening. Subjects performed an ECG at screening to rule out significant cardiovascular abnormalities, and had a physical examination at the beginning and end of the study to assess health status. Frequent assessment of adverse events and COPD exacerbations was obtained during the study at clinical visits conducted 1 day following the first dose of study medication and every 4 weeks thereafter to ensure patients safety was closely monitored.

    Change from Baseline in Mean St.George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) total score at Day 84
    End point description
    The SGRQ is a disease-specific questionnaire, self-completed by participants(par), to evaluate the effect of UMEC/VI on health-related quality of life as compared to placebo in par with COPD. The SGRQ contains 76 items grouped into three domains (symptoms, activity, impacts) and scores range from 0 (minimum, best possible health status) to 100 (maximum, worst possible health status). Analysis was performed using mixed model repeated measures with covariates of Baseline (scores recorded prior to dosing on Day 1) SGRQ total score, centre group, smoking status, Day, treatment (trt), Day by Baseline interaction and Day by trt interaction, where Day is nominal. Change from Baseline was calculated as the SGRQ total score at a particular visit minus Baseline. Change from Baseline in total score of -4 units or lower is considered as clinically meaningful improvement in quality of life. Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population included par who received at least one dose of randomized study drug.

    Change from Baseline in trough forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) at Day 84
    End point description
    FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. Trough FEV1 measurements were taken electronically by spirometry on Days 28, 56 and 84. Baseline is defined as the assessment taken pre-dose on Treatment Day 1. Trough FEV1 is defined as the FEV1 value obtained 24 hours after the previous morning's dosing. Change from Baseline at a particular visit was calculated as the trough FEV1 at that visit minus Baseline. Analysis was performed using a repeated measures model with covariates of treatment, Baseline , smoking status, center group, day, and day by Baseline and day by treatment interactions. Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population included par who received at least one dose of randomized study drug. Par. represents those with data available at the time point being presented; however, all par. in the ITT population without missing covariate information and with at least one post BL measurement are included in analysis

    Change from Baseline (BL) in Mean number of puffs of rescue medication per day used over Weeks 1-12
    End point description
    Albuterol/salbutamol(A/S) was used as rescue medication and was provided to participants to use on an as-needed basis for relief of COPD symptoms throughout treatment periods. The number of puffs of A/S per day over the entire 12 week treatment period was recorded and analyzed. For rescue use, ‘day’ is referred as the period between one record of rescue use and the next. Total puffs of rescue for each day = number of salbutamol puffs + (2 x number of salbutamol nebules). Analysis performed using mixed model repeated measures with covariates of BL(mean number of total puffs over the duration from First Day; defined as Latest of [7 days before Visit 2 and day after Visit 1] to Last Day[defined as Day before Visit 2]), smoking status, centre group, four-week period, treatment and period by BL interaction. Change from BL used weeks 1-4, 5-8, and 9-12 as covariates in the model and the overall least squares mean change for weeks 1-12 is estimated. ITT population was analyzed.
