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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 ).

    Change From Baseline in Adenoid/Choana (A/C) Index Grade
    End point description
    Changes in adenoid size were assessed by nasopharyngoscopic examination and were determined using the Adenoid/Choana (A/C) Index. Grades were assigned to intervals of A/C ratio percentages: grade I (0-25%), II (26-50%), III (51-75%) and IV (76-100%). Changes in adenoid size were expressed as the mean difference between grades at baseline and study visit. Positive values indicated a decrease in adenoid size, a 0 value indicated that size remained the same, and negative values indicated an increase in adenoid size.

    Total Severity Symptom Scores: Morning and Evening (AM & PM)
    End point description
    Symptoms were assessed by whole-number linear scale to grade their severity. Scores were recorded AM & PM (a difference of 12 hours) & were based on severity within 12 hours of prior recording. The following symptoms were evaluated: Snoring; Nasal obstruction & discharge; Breathing difficulty; Oral respiration; Ear pain. Severity was graded according to the following scale: 0=absent; 1=mild; 2=moderate; 3=severe. Severity was scored individually and summed to obtain the Total Symptom Severity Score. The maximum total score possible was 36 daily; 18 for both AM (6 symptoms times max severity of 3) and PM.

    Symptoms were assessed by whole-number linear scale to grade their frequency. Scores were recorded AM & PM (a difference of 12 hours) & were based on frequency within 12 hours of prior recording. The following signs/symptoms were evaluated: Snoring; Nasal obstruction & discharge; Breathing difficulty; Oral respiration; Ear pain. Frequency was graded according to the following scale: 0=absent; 1=intermittent; 2=persistent. The frequency of symptoms was scored individually and summed to obtain the Total Frequency Symptom Score.

    End point description
    Tympanometry was performed in children ages 2-11 by certified audiologists. Results were categorized based on audiologist's assessment as either being normal (normal pressure in the middle ear with normal mobility of the eardrum and the conduction bones), abnormal (abnormal pressure in the middle ear and/or abnormal mobility of the eardrum and the conduction bones), or tympanometry was not done (evaluation not completed). Results were assessed at baseline, Week 4 (Visit 3), and endpoint Week 8 (end of treatment).

    Rhinomanometry Results- Left and Right Nasal Fossa: Inspiratory Resistance
    End point description
    Rhinomanometry examination of the left & right Nasal Fossa was performed at baseline (visit 2) and each visit throughout treatment (visit 3 and visit 4) in participants ages 7-11 years. Rhinomanometry is a test of nasal function that measures air pressure and the rate of airflow in the nasal airway during respiration by means of equipment. These findings were used to calculate inspiratory nasal airway resistance reported in Pascal/centimeter^3/second (Pa/cm^3/sec).

    Acoustic Rhinometry Results- Minimal Cross-Sectional Area: Left and Right Nasal Fossa
    End point description
    Acoustic rhinometry examination of the left & right Nasal Fossa was performed by principal investigators at baseline & each visit throughout treatment in participants ages 7-11 years. Acoustic rhinometry is a technique intended for assessment of the geometry of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx and for evaluating nasal obstruction. The technique is based on an analysis of sound waves reflected from the nasal cavities. Measurements were taken for each side of the nose (nasopharyngeal minimum cross-sectional area) & were reported in cm^3.

    PSQ consists of 90 variables divided into 3 different factors: snoring, somnolence, and behavior. All positive Snoring and Somnolence answers scored with Yes=1 and No=0, and scores averaged to obtain a total score between 0.00 and 1.00. Behavior factor scored between 1 (never)-3 (always), and scores averaged for total score of 1 to 3. Increased scores indicate increasing abnormality of sleep. Based on determined cut-offs, participants were categorized as having mild, moderate, or severe discomfort due to interference of sleep.

    End point description
    The impact on quality of life (QOL) was measured by a general pediatric health questionnaire. Versions were self-administered & answered by participants' parents. This modular instrument consists of 21 items using a 5-point scale: from 0 (never) to 4 (almost always). Items are reversed scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, 4=0. 4 dimensions (physical, emotional, social, & school functioning) are scored. Total score is sum of all the items over the number of items answered on all the scales. Higher scores indicate a better health related QOL. At baseline (visit 2), 52 randomized participants were between 2 and 4 years old, 23 participants in MFNS & 29 participants in Placebo group. Questionnaire was answered in accordance with the actual age of each participant at each visit.

Items are reversed scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, 4=0. 4 dimensions (physical, emotional, social, & school functioning) are scored. Total score is sum of all the items over the number of items answered on all the scales. Higher scores indicate a better health related QOL. At baseline (visit 2), 28 randomized participants were between 8-12 years old, 15 participants in MFNS & 13 participants in Placebo group. Questionnaire was answered in accordance with the actual age of each participant at each visit.

    Obstructive Sleep Apnea-18 (OSA-18) Questionnaire Total Score
    End point description
    18 items of the survey were graded on a 7-point ordinal scale. Caregivers were asked to describe how often in the last 4 weeks had the child exhibited specific symptoms according to the following scale: 1: none of the time; 2: hardly any of the time; 3: a little of the time; 4: some of the time; 5: a good bit of the time; 6: most of the time; 7: all of the time. All scores were summed (total score: 18-126). Grading was as follows: -Scores < 60 suggest a slight impact on health related quality of life (HRQL) -Scores 60-80 suggest a moderate impact -Scores over 80 suggest a great impact 1 participant in Placebo group did not answer this questionnaire at baseline.

    Number of Participants With Rhinoscopic- Septum Results of: Aligned, Non-Obstructive, or Obstructive Deviation
    End point description
    Rhinoscopic examination of the septum was performed at baseline (visit 2) and each visit throughout treatment (visit 3 and visit 4). Results were categorized based on investigator's assessment as either being aligned (septum is aligned), non-obstructive (septum is not aligned but the deviation is non-obstructive), or obstructive (septum is deviated and obstructive) deviation.
