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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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
    A study to compare the bronchodilatory effect of a single dose of Mometasone Furoate/Formoterol Fumarate (MF/F) pressurized metered dose inhaler (MDI) delivered with and without an AeroChamber Plus® with Flow-Vu® Anti-Static Valved Holding Chamber (spacer) versus Placebo MDI (combined with and without spacer) and formoterol fumarate (F) dry powder inhaler (DPI). Participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 6 treatment sequences and each participant was to receive a single dose of each of 4 treatments in each period. Each treatment period was separated by a 5 to 7 day washout period. It assumed that a single dose MF/F MDI 100/10 mcg delivered with a spacer would produce bronchodilation, defined as a significant increase in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) area under the curve from 0 to 12 hours (AUC[0-12 hr]) when compared to placebo.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practice standards and applicable country and/or local statutes and regulations regarding ethical committee review, informed consent, and the protection of human subjects participating in biomedical research.

    Notes
    [1] - The roles blinded appear inconsistent with a simple blinded trial.
    Justification: This was an evaluator-blind study. The investigator, clinical study staff and personnel performing the assessments and data analysis were to remain blinded to the identity of the study medication and treatment sequence. The Third-Party Dispenser was the only one at the site who knew the treatment assignment of each subject.

    Notes
    [2] - The roles blinded appear inconsistent with a simple blinded trial.
    Justification: This was an evaluator-blind study. The investigator, clinical study staff and personnel performing the assessments and data analysis were to remain blinded to the identity of the study medication and treatment sequence. The Third-Party Dispenser was the only one at the site who knew the treatment assignment of each subject.

    Notes
    [4] - The roles blinded appear inconsistent with a simple blinded trial.
    Justification: This was an evaluator-blind study. The investigator, clinical study staff and personnel performing the assessments and data analysis were to remain blinded to the identity of the study medication and treatment sequence. The Third-Party Dispenser was the only one at the site who knew the treatment assignment of each subject.

    End point description
    The AUC was standardized to liters by dividing the length of time for which measurements of FEV1 were included in the calculation of the AUC. Baseline was defined as the average of 2 pre-dose FEV1 measurements (taken 30 minutes before and immediately before dosing), which was subtracted from each of the serial FEV1 measurements over the 12-hour period. The AUC was calculated based on these changes from the baseline evaluations using the trapezoidal rule. The analysis population for this endpoint included all participants who received each assigned single-dose treatment, performed at least the 0- and 2-hour spirometry evaluations and met the following criteria: did not use any prohibited concomitant medications; demonstrated satisfactory use of inhaler, spacer and spirometry maneuvers; and used >80% of prescribed MF DPI across the entire study treatment.

    Secondary: AUC (0-12h) of the Change From Baseline in FEV1 After a Single Dose of MF/F With Spacer Compared to F DPI

    Close Top of page
    End point title
    AUC (0-12h) of the Change From Baseline in FEV1 After a Single Dose of MF/F With Spacer Compared to F DPI
    End point description
    The AUC was standardized to liters by dividing the length of time for which measurements of FEV1 were included in the calculation of the AUC. Baseline was defined as the average of 2 pre-dose FEV1 measurements (taken 30 minutes before and immediately before dosing), which was subtracted from each of the serial FEV1 measurements over the 12-hour period. The AUC was calculated based on these changes from the baseline evaluations using the trapezoidal rule. The analysis population for this endpoint included all participants who received each assigned single-dose treatment, performed at least the 0- and 2-hour spirometry evaluations and met the following criteria: did not use any prohibited concomitant medications; demonstrated satisfactory use of inhaler, space and spirometry maneuvers; and used >80% of prescribed MF DPI across the entire study treatment.

    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: In this study, no non-serious adverse events reached the 5% frequency threshold for reporting.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    26 Oct 2010
    Amendment 1: Changes to Inclusion Criterion 14: text added to be consistent with other references in protocol: Subject must be able to demonstrate his/her ability to perform reproducible expiratory maneuvers (including PEF), following the principles of the ATS/ERS guidelines. Text also modified in following procedures: 7.Review of prior medications, including washout times, with subject. Record of prior medication taken by subject within 30 days, or longer, if applicable as per washout requirements, before starting trial to be obtained; 14.Venous blood and urine samples specified in Table 8 (protocol) to be analyzed and reported by central laboratory using standard procedures. Urine pregnancy test for female subjects of childbearing potential to be taken at Screening Visit and Visit 5 or Discontinuation Visit; must be negative for subject to be considered for eligibility. If subject is menstruating at time of urine collection, it should be noted in the source and eCRF comment module. Female subjects who begin menses after Screening Visit will have urine pregnancy test at next scheduled visit. Subjects with positive test will be discontinued; 16.Subjects to refrain from using SABA for 6 hours prior to start of spirometry unless FEV1 falls below stability limit. Spirometry to be performed following principles of ATS/ERS guidelines; should be performed with subject sitting, using a chair with arms and without wheels; if necessary, undertake testing with subject standing or in another position and note on spirometry report; position should be consistent throughout study. Use of nose clips required; 17.Reversibility should be demonstrated within 30 minutes of bronchodilator administration. If subject does not meet reversibility at Visit 1, three repeat assessments can be performed during Run-in Period, prior to Baseline Visit; 18.e-Diary/PEF meter will collect and save relevant expiratory flow-volume parameters, use of rescue medication, and dosing information.
    17 Dec 2010
    Amendment 2: The only change the protocol was reinserting missing pages in Appendix 8.
