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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of a single dose of ASN100 (administered as ASN-1 and ASN-2 components) versus placebo for the prevention of S. aureus pneumonia in mechanically ventilated subjects who are heavily colonized with S. aureus. Primary endpoint: Percentage of subjects in the MITT population who have or have not developed S. aureus (SA) pneumonia after a single intravenous (IV) dose of ASN100, based on sponsor defined outcome (SDO1). For each arm, the empirical proportion is defined by a ratio, which is the number of SA pneumonia events divided by the total number of subjects in the arm. The inference about the difference of two population rates is based on the empirical counterpart; specifically, the point estimate, 95% confidence interval and p-value for the rate difference. Subjects discontinued from the study due to any cause prior to Day 22 were considered as not developing SA pneumonia for the primary efficacy analysis.

    Group comparison for S. aureus pneumonia
    Statistical analysis description
    Subjects were analyzed for efficacy in the group to which they randomized. Sponsor defined outcomes were based on review of microbiology results from samples tested at the central lab. If sample was not sent to the central lab, determination was based on results from the local microbiology lab. In cases where both local & central lab results were available, concordance was confirmed for S. aureus. Therefore, the analysis used local microbiology data in order to utilize a more complete dataset.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    3 months. Adverse events (AEs) analyzed include treatment-emergent AEs, from the time of randomization through the Day 90 study visit (i.e. last study visit).
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Only study procedure related AEs were to be reported from the time that informed consent was signed up to randomization, if they were considered to be study procedure related, however no such AEs were reported. Therefore, study procedure related AEs prior to randomization were not analyzed or reported.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    An interim analysis of 118 subjects was performed by a DRC to assess S. aureus pneumonia rates and the conditional power to detect a statistically significant treatment effect at study completion (354 subjects). The study was terminated for futility.
