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   44334   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Clinical Trial Results:
    A randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of flutica one furoate /vil nterol trifenatate (FF/VI) inhalation powder delivered once daily compared to fluticasone propionate delivered twice daily in the treatment of asthma in adolescent and adult subjects of Asian ancestry currently treated with high-strength inhaled corticosteroids or mid-strength IC S/LABA combination therapy.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 313 participants were randomized to treatment. However, 4 participants were randomized in error and did not receive any study treatment; thus, these participants were not included in the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population, comprised of all participants randomized to treatment who received >=1 dose of trial medication.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    At screening, participants who meet all of the inclusion criteria entered a 2-week Run-in period. Participants continued on inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy throughout the Run-in period. At the end of the Run-in period, participants meeting the randomization criteria entered a 12-week Treatment Period and received one of the two treatments.

    End point description
    Peak Expiratory Flow is defined as the maximum airflow during a forced expiration beginning with the lungs fully inflated. The Baseline value was derived from the last 7 days of the daily diary prior to the randomization of the participant. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value of the averaged daily PM PEF over the 12-week Treatment Period minus the Baseline value. Analysis was performed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) with covariates of Baseline, region, sex, age, and treatment. Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: all participants randomized to treatment who received >=1 dose of trial medication. The primary endpoint analysis only included participants who had PM PEF data for >=4 days in the BL week prior to randomization and >=4 days after randomization. Only participants available at the indicated time point were assessed.

    Change from Baseline in total Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) score at Week 12
    End point description
    The AQLQ is a disease-specific, self-administered quality of life questionnaire developed to evaluate the impact of asthma treatments on the quality of life of asthma sufferers. The AQLQ contains 32 items in 4 domains: activity limitation (11 items), symptoms (12 items), emotional function (5 items), and environmental stimuli (4 items). The 32 items of the questionnaire are averaged to produce one overall quality of life score. The response format consists of a 7-point scale, where a value of 1 indicates “total impairment” and a value of 7 indicates “no impairment.” Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 12 value minus the Baseline value. Analysis was performed using ANCOVA with covariates of Baseline, region, sex, age, and treatment. ITT Population. Only those participants available at the indicated time point were assessed.
