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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    To evaluate the efficacy of LAI (590 mg) administered once daily (QD), when added to a multi-drug regimen, for achieving culture conversion (3 consecutive monthly negative sputum cultures) by Month 6 compared to a multi-drug regimen alone
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was performed in compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP), including the archiving of essential documents, the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Guidelines, and is consistent with the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki.
    Background therapy
    Throughout the duration of the study, subjects in both arms of the study continued the same multidrug (at least 2antibiotics) antimycobacterial regimen. The regimen was based on the 200 7ATS/IDSA (American Thoracic Society/Infectious Diseases Society of America) guidelines or respective local guidelines, and they were not to change during the treatment phase except for safety concerns or if rescue antimycobacterial therapy was required.

    End point description
    Sputum specimens were collected at Screening (Visit 1), Baseline (Visit 2), and at Visits 3 (Month 1) through 8 (Month 6). A negative culture result reflected a negative culture result for all sputum samples collected at each visit. Subjects met the primary endpoint of culture conversion by Month 6 if they had 3 consecutive monthly MAC-negative sputum cultures during the first 6 months of the study. A subject needed to achieve the first of 3 consecutive negative sputum cultures (that defined culture conversion) by Month 4 in order to meet the primary endpoint by Month 6. Each subject in the intent to treat (ITT) population (ie, all randomized subjects) was classified as either a converter or non-converter by Month 6.

    Statistical analysis description
    The proportion of subjects achieving culture conversion by Month 6 was analyzed using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test, stratified by smoking status and prior multi-drug regimen. The treatment comparison was tested at two-sided significance level of 0.05. The null hypothesis assumed that culture conversion by Month 6 is independent of treatment, and the alternative hypothesis assumed that culture conversion by Month 6 is associated with treatment.

    End point description
    Sputum specimens were collected at screening, baseline (Day 1), during treatment, and at Months 1, 3, 6, and 12 months off treatment. Culture conversion with durability was defined as achieving culture conversion by Month 6 and then having no more than 2 consecutive broth positive cultures and no Agar positive culture up to 3 months off treatment. Converters with missing broth or Agar sputum culture result after Month 6 up to 3 months off treatment were considered as not achieving culture conversion with durability except those subjects who are unable to produce sputum despite reasonable efforts, as reported by source documentation. Subjects who had relapse/recurrence, had "rescue" medication and/or died before reaching 3 months off treatment were considered as not achieving culture conversion with durability.

    Time to Culture Conversion by Month 6 in the LAI + MDR Arm Compared to the MDR Alone Arm
    End point description
    The time to culture conversion was defined by the date of the first of at least 3 consecutive monthly culture specimens that were Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC)-negative. The 25th percentile time to conversion is the estimated time taken for 25% of subjects to convert. The 50th percentile time to conversion is the estimated time taken for 50% of subjects to convert. The 25th percentile time to conversion could not be estimated for the Multi-drug Regimen arm due to an insufficient proportion of subjects achieving culture conversion by Month 6. The 50th percentile time to conversion could not be estimated for either arm due to an insufficient proportion of patients achieving culture conversion by Month 6.

    Change in 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) Distance at EOT in the LAI Arm Compared to a Multi-drug Regimen Alone
    End point description
    A 6-minute walk assessment of exertional capability was performed at Baseline (Day 1) and up to EOT or Month 16. The standardized protocol based on the ATS guidelines was used. The 6MWT was conducted by a site member who was blinded to the subject's open-label treatment assignment. Due to the widely varying timepoints that makeup the EOT visit, this was not considered an appropriate analysis and was not performed.

    Change From Baseline (Day 1) at Month 6 in the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score
    End point description
    The SGRQ was completed before administration of study drug at Baseline (Day 1) and Months 3, 6, 8, and 12, and at the EOT visit and the 3 months off treatment visit. The SGRQ is a self-administered questionnaire that has been validated in subjects with airways disease, specifically in subjects with bronchiectasis. The SGRQ assesses health-related quality of life in subjects with chronic pulmonary disease by evaluating 3 health domains: symptoms (distress caused by respiratory symptoms); activity (effects of disturbances on mobility and physical activity); and impacts (the effect of disease on factors such as employment, personal control of one’s health, and need for medication). A composite total score is derived as the sum of domain scores for symptoms, activity, and impact (0=the best possible score and 100=the worst possible score). A within patient reduction from baseline in score of 4 units is generally recognized as a clinically meaningful improvement in quality of life.
