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   43839   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7280   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate the non-inferiority of QVA149 (110/50 μg o.d.) on trough FEV1 vs. tiotropium (18 μg o.d.) + salmeterol/fluticasone propionate FDC (50/500 μg b.i.d.) after 26 weeks of treatment in moderate-to-severe COPD patients.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    - To evaluate the effect of QVA149 (110/50 μg o.d.) compared with tiotropium (18 μg o.d.) + salmeterol/fluticasone propionate FDC (50/500 μg b.i.d.) over 26 weeks of treatment in terms of Rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations.
    - To evaluate the effect of QVA149 compared with tiotropium + salmeterol/fluticasone propionate FDC on:
    - Trough FEV1 and FVC over 26 weeks
    - Total score of the SGRQ-C after 12 and 26 weeks
    - Total score of the TDI after 12 and 26 weeks
    - Mean use of rescue therapy (number of puffs/day) and the percentage of days without rescue therapy over 26 weeks.
    - To assess the safety of QVA149 vs. tiotropium + salmeterol/fluticasone propionate FDC over 26 weeks (particularly with regard to ECG, laboratory tests, vital signs and adverse events) and tolerability (discontinuation due to adverse events).

    criteria)
    - Patients who have had more than one COPD exacerbation that required treatment with antibiotics and/or oral corticosteroids and/or hospitalization in the last year prior to Visit 1.
    - Patients who developed a COPD exacerbation of any severity either 6 weeks before the
    screening (Visit 1) or between screening (Visit 1) and treatment (Visit 201) will not be eligible but will be permitted to be re-screened after a minimum of 6 weeks after the resolution of the COPD exacerbation.
