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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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
    To assess the effect of treatment with GFF MDI, twice daily (BID) compared with Placebo MDI on specific image-based airway volumes and resistance in subjects with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) following chronic dosing after approximately two weeks treatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    For subjects that were on ICS LABA, the ICS LABA was discontinued, however, then prescribed an ICS Monotherapy at an equivalent dosing regimen for the duration of the study. For subjects that were on ICS Monotherapy, they were allowed to continue those medications at the same dose. Ventolin HFA was provided throughout the study for subjects to take as needed for relief of symptoms.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 This study was conducted at 1 site in Antwerp Belgium from January 2016 to December 2016.The study was anticipated to run for approximately 9 months but not to expected to exceed 12 months. The study period was duration was expected to run approximately 13 weeks for each subject.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 Subjects were randomized into 1 of 2 treatment sequences: subjects in Sequence 1 received GFF MDI in Treatment Period 1 followed by Placebo MDI in Treatment Period 2, and subjects in Sequence 2 received Placebo MDI in Treatment Period 1 followed by GFF MDI in Treatment Period 2. By sequence treatment tabulations were not pre-specified

    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: Each arm should document the number of subjects who started and the number who completed. However, there is a system limitation at the moment with this option for the reporting of the statistical analysis. There is an automated sum up of the arms population that is performed by the system which is not valid for this option. The result can be reported by omitting the statistical Analysis.
