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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary study objective was to demonstrate the superior clinical effectiveness of Salmeterol/Fluticasone Propionate (SFC) compared with montelukast in the management of persistent asthma in children aged 6-14 years. Please note: In the age table the actual number of adolescent (between the ages of 12-17) participants is 90 participants. Two participants were missing age information from all study demographic tables, with no clear explanation about why that data was missing. Because the system does not allow us to note missing information, the 2 participants of unknown age were added to the adolescent age category.

    End point description
    PEFR is defined as the maximum airflow generated during a forced expiration beginning with the lungs fully inflated. PEFR was calculated as the highest value of the three readings recorded in the morning of each day on a diary card for each participant using spirometry. Change from Baseline in PEFR was calculated as the PEFR individual on treatment values time point minus the Baseline value. Baseline is defined as the mean of the non missing daily values over the final seven days of the two-week run-in prior to randomisation.

    End point description
    A symptom free 24 hour period is one during which the diary recorded daytime and night time symptom score is zero. Participants were asked to rate the day time asthma symptom scores on a scale of 0 5 (0=no symptoms, 1=symptoms with no discomfort, 2=symptoms with discomfort without affecting daily normal activities, 3=symptoms with discomfort affecting daily normal activities, 4=symptoms with discomfort affecting 2 or more normal daily activities, 5=symptoms with discomfort affecting normal daily activities) and night time asthma symtpoms on a scale of 0 3 (0=no symptoms, 1 3= rating was based on increased awakening during night). The 24 hour period asthma symptom scores were the sum of the daytime and night time symptom scores recorded on diary card. The percentage of symptoms were classified as 0 <25%, 25 <50%, 50 <75%, 75 <100% and 100%.

    Amendment
    18 Feb 2005
    The study was divided into two phases: I and II. During the study, more subjects had to be recruited. However, the recruitment of subjects could not be achieved prior to the expiry date of the batch of clinical supplies. Therefore, a re-supply was required, which resulted in a second phase of the study.

    Interruptions (globally)
    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
