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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The overall aim of the research is to establish the reasons why children who were born prematurely have ongoing respiratory symptoms, potentially caused by narrowing of the airways (obstruction), inflammation and structural differences in the lung. The principle objective is to assess if 12 weeks of inhaler treatment can reduce this obstruction and inflammation.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To obtain updated information on the prevalence of respiratory symptoms (such as wheeze) in children who were born prematurely and investigate how these change over time.

    To understand, in detail, the reasons (mechanisms) why inhaler treatment works in some participants, but not in others, by investigating the differences in laboratory markers of disease between responders and non-responders.

    To understand more about the structure of the lungs and how this effects their function by comparing results from MRI scans.

    To establish a cohort of children born prematurely in Wales for future studies and long-term follow-up
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria

    plus
    2) Preterm-born children found during part 1 to have FEV1 ≤85% predicted

    3) Eye injuries resulting from metal fragments
    4) Presence of any metal implants including pacemakers
    5) Possibility to be or known to be pregnant
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)

    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    After 12 weeks trial of IMP
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    1) Differences in measures of obstructive airway disease (pulmonary function tests)
    2) Differences in response to exercise challenge between treatment groups.
    3) Differences in biomarkers of airway inflammation between treatment groups
    4) Quality of life, respiratory and neurological symptoms (questionnaire)
    5) MRI parameters: apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) between 3 comparison groups (preterm, FEV1 ≤85% predicted at baseline; preterm control, FEV1 >85% predicted; and term control, FEV1 >90% predicted).
    6) Adverse events
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    1) After 12 weeks trial of IMP
    2) After 12 weeks trial of IMP
    3) After 12 weeks trial of IMP
    4) After 12 weeks trial of IMP
    5) Following MRI scan
