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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 determine the effect of OC000459 on induced sputum eosinophil counts at 12 weeks of treatment compared to placebo.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The protocol, together with all required clinical trial documentation, was submitted to the appropriate independent ethics committee (IEC) in all participating sites. A copy of the favourable opinion from the IEC had to be received before the trial could be initiated at an investigational site.This study was conducted in accordance with ICH Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guideline E6 (1996), the Declaration of Helsinki and the UK Statutory Instrument which incorporates the European Clinical Trial Directives (Directives 2001/20/EC and 2005/28/EC) and subsequent amendments. This study was also performed in compliance with the requirements of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). The consent document met all applicable local laws and provided the patient with information regarding the purpose, procedures, requirements and restrictions of the study, along with any known risks and potential benefits associated with the investigational product and the established provisions for maintaining the confidentiality of personal information. Subject’s written informed consent obtained prior to any study-related procedures.
    Background therapy
    OC000459 is a potent and selective CRTH2 antagonist which blocks the ability of PGD2 to cause chemotaxis and activation of TH2 lymphocytes and eosinophils and is therefore expected to suppress airway inflammation associated with asthma. Studies performed in vitro and in vivo indicate that this mechanism is important in mediating mast cell-dependent accumulation and activation of TH2 lymphocytes and eosinophils as occurs in the airways of subjects with asthma.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: According with the protocol, it was planned to screen approximately 70 subjects in the study in order to yield 40 evaluable subjects. A total of 68 subjects were screened and 40 subjects were randomised .

    Blinding implementation details
    Randomisation was performed according to the method of minimisation by a designated unblinded statistician. The allocation ratio to OC000459 and placebo was 1:1. Further details of the implementation of the minimisation process were contained in the Randomisation and Blinding Plan. Randomisation code information was sent securely by an unblinded statistician for packaging study drug. Copies of the randomisation codes were stored securely by the unblinded statistician.

    1_Ratio of Induced Sputum Eosinophil Count (%) at week 12 to baseline
    End point description
    Sputum was induced using nebulised hypertonic saline and processed using standard methods. Sputum was induced using 3%, 4% and 5% saline inhaled in sequence for five minutes via an ultrasonic nebuliser. After each inhalation subjects blew their nose and rinsed their mouth to minimise nasal contamination and expectorated sputum into a sterile pot. Change from baseline at Week 12 of the logarithmic value (log10) of induced sputum eosinophil count data (%) was analysed. Data are presented as adjusted geometric mean ratios with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

    The ratio of induced sputum eosinophil count (%) at Week 12 to baseline was estimated from the analysis of change from baseline at Week 12 of the logarithmic value (log10) of induced sputum eosinophil count data (%). Data are presented as adjusted geometric mean ratio with its 95% CI. Analysis is based on an analysis of covariance model including treatment and use of OCS at screening (yes/no) as factors and baseline induced sputum eosinophils (log10 value) as covariate.

The questions are designed to be self-completed by the subject. The five questions enquire about the frequency and/or severity of symptoms (waking at night, severity of asthma symptoms, activity limitation, shortness of breath and wheeze). The response options for all these questions consist of a zero (no impairment/limitation) to six (total impairment/limitation) scale.

    5_ACQ-5 Average Score Response at Week 12
    End point description
    The ACQ-5 five-item questionnaire, developed as a measure of subject’ asthma control ,was completed at every scheduled visit after Screening. The questions are designed to be self-completed by the subject. The five questions enquire about the frequency and/or severity of symptoms (waking at night, severity of asthma symptoms, activity limitation, shortness of breath and wheeze). The response options for all these questions consist of a zero (no impairment/limitation) to six (total impairment/limitation) scale. ACQ-5 response is defined as a change from baseline in ACQ-5 Average Score ≤-0.5. If the change from baseline was > -0.5, the subject was classified as a non-responder in terms of ACQ-5. Subjects with missing ACQ-5 average score value at Week 12 were also classified as non-responders.

    Odds ratio, ACQ-5 Average Score at Week 12
    Statistical analysis description
    Analysis is based on a logistic regression model including treatment, use of OCS at Screening (yes/no) and screening sputum eosinophil percentage category (>3% and ≤10%,>10% and ≤35%,>35%) as factors, and baseline ACQ-5 average score as a covariate. The odds ratio for the treatment with its 95% CI and corresponding p-value were estimated by the model.

    6_change from baseline in AQLQ(S) overall average score at week 12
    End point description
    The AQLQ(S) is a standardised version of the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire and was given to subjects to complete at every scheduled visit after Screening. Subjects were asked to think about how they had been during the previous two weeks and to respond to each of the 32 questions on a 7-point scale (7 = not impaired at all to 1 = severely impaired). The overall AQLQ(S) score is the mean of all 32 responses and the individual domain scores are the means of the items in those domains (adjusted means with a 95% CI).

    Data are presented as adjusted mean treatment difference (OC000459 vs Placebo) of change from baseline at Week 12 with 95% CI. Analysis is based on an analysis of covariance model including treatment, use of OCS at Screening (yes/no) and screening sputum eosinophil percentage category (>3% and ≤10%,>10% and ≤35%,>35%) as factors, and baseline AQLQ average score as a covariate.
