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   43870   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7289   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 magnitude of effect (with a level of precision) of inhaled FF 50 micrograms (mcg) versus inhaled placebo once daily (OD) on growth velocity in prepubertal children over one year of treatment
    Protection of trial subjects
    In order to minimise pain and distress, it was agreed with both Food and drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) not to do any blood tests in this study. Furthermore, participants were on a background of open-label montelukast tablets to avoid a “no treatment” arm to reduce the risk of uncontrolled asthma in the placebo group.

    Three reproducible height measurements were taken using stadiometer at each visit & were recorded to nearest 1/10th of a centimeter.Each set of triplicate measurements was averaged to derive one estimated height per participant per visit. Growth velocity was calculated for each participant over double-blind(DB) treatment(upto 52weeks) period by fitting regression line to height measurements recorded for that participant during period. Each participant’s DB treatment period growth velocity was calculated based on all on &off treatment height data &was programmatically compared to data values from Standards from Birth to Maturity for Height,Weight,Height Velocity,established in British Children (1965)&further updated for North American children(1985)using 3rd percentile value of age closest to participant’s age at end of endpoint (i.e.either end of participant’s DB treatment period[Visit18 Wk 52]/withdrawal from study[Early Withdrawal Visit]).Percentage values presented is rounded off

    End point title
    Change in Height Standard Deviation Scores (SDS) from Baseline to Endpoint
    End point description
    Each participant’s SDS for each of 3 required stadiometric height measurements was calculated as:(observed height measurement–standard median height for age at Visit [week-16]) divided by (/) ([standard 95th height percentile for age at visit–standard 5th height percentile for age at visit]/[2*1.645]).Standard median, 95th percentile, & 5th percentile values were obtained from standard tables (Guidance for Industry Orally Inhaled & Intranasal Corticosteroid). SDS for each height stadiometric measurement at each visit was calculated using percentiles from standard tables & averaged for each participant before being summarized by treatment group. A reduction in SDS over time indicates growth deceleration & an increase in SDS over time means growth acceleration.Baseline was defined as height SD score at Visit 5 (week 0). Endpoint was defined as height SD score at Visit 18 (week52) (on- & off-treatment data). Change from Baseline was calculated as Endpoint value minus Baseline value.
