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   43861   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Open label, 12-week clinical trial to assess efficacy, safety, treatment adherence and Quality of Life impact of Mometasone Furoate dry powder 400 mcg once-daily in persistent mild-moderate asthmatic patients at least 12 years old. The primary endpoint was the mean change from Baseline to the study endpoint in the FEV1 (percentage change from baseline).
    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. The following additional measure(s) defined for this individual study was (were) in place for the protection of trial subjects: Participants could use salbutamol as rescue medication and were to record daily usage in a diary. Participants were to withhold salbutamol for at least 6 hours prior to spirometry.

    385 participants enrolled and were screened for eligibility for treatment assignment. A total of 281 participants received at least one dose of study medication and were included in the Intention-To-Treat (ITT) Population. 104 participants did not receive treatment due to lack of compliance of Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) Dose Reduction.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: The worldwide number reflects the total number of participants enrolled in the study and screened for eligibility (n=385). The number of participants in the Baseline Period reflects the number of participants who received at least one dose of study medication (ITT Population) and was the primary analysis population for this study.

    Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) [1]
    End point description
    Spirometry was performed to measure FEV1, which is the amount of air the participant is able to exhale in 1 second. Normal values for FEV1 in healthy people depend on age and gender, but values between 80% and 120% of the normal value is considered good. Increased FEV1 indicates improvement in asthma control.

    End point description
    Participants were to record their daily AM and PM PEFR values in a diary. PEFR can be measured using a peak flow meter that was given to the participant. Normal readings are based on a person's gender, age, and height. A reading of 80 to 100% of the usual or normal peak flow readings indicate that the asthma is under good control. Increased PEFR indicates improvement in asthma control.

    End point description
    The investigator will assess the subject's response to therapy by interviewing the subject and comparing their current level of symptoms with those noted at Baseline. A scale of 1 to 5 was to be used: 1 = much improved (AM and PM symptom severity and frequency improve >75% from baseline), 2= Improved (AM and PM symptom severity and frequency improve between 50-75% , 3 = No change (AM and PM asthma symptoms persists at the same severity and frequency from baseline), 4 = Worse (AM and PM asthma symptoms severity and frequency got worse between 50-75% from baseline), or 5 = Much worse (AM and PM asthma symptoms severity and frequency got worse more than 75% from baseline).
