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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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
    The objective of the study was to assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD8871 after a 14-day treatment period at 2 different doses in patients with moderate to severe COPD.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was performed in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH)/Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and applicable regulatory requirements and the AstraZeneca policy on Bioethics. Informed consent was given freely after the subject was informed of the nature, significance, implications and risks of the study; and consent was evidenced in writing, dated and signed, or otherwise marked, by that person so as to indicate his / her consent, prior to the start of participation in the study. The nature of the informed consent complied with the current version of the Declaration of Helsinki, the current requirements of GCP (CPMP/ICH/135/95) and local regulation whichever provided the greater subject protection. Additional informed consent was obtained from the subset of patients enrolled for the PK analysis.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    This study was conducted at two centres, one each in Germany and the UK. The first patient was enrolled in December 2016 and the last patient last visit was in August 2017.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 103 patients were screened. The screening period (lasting up to 28 days) consisted of a Screening Visit (Visit 1), Visit 2 and a run-in period (14–28 days) to assess clinical stability; 42 patients were eligible to participate and were randomised.

    Blinding implementation details
    This study was performed in a double-blind manner. All IPs were supplied in identical packaging. Placebo-containing DPI devices were presented with the same external appearance and the same composition as the AZD8871-containing devices, except for the active ingredient. Supplies of salbutamol and ipratropium were open-label.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    22 Sep 2016
    High dose level was changed from 900 μg to 600 μg, based on exposure levels seen in the Phase I Study D6640C00003 (Sections 1.2, 1.4, 3.5, 7.1, 7.2.2, 8.2, 8.5.3). Dosage form for 300 μg removed and 2 Dry powder inhalers/administration changed to 1/administration (Section 7.1). New data from D6640C00003 added (Section 1.2). Update to serious adverse event reporting process (Section 6.3.6). Clarification of timing of taste assessment (Section 4.2.3).
    16 Dec 2016
    Update to exclusion criteria (Section 3.2) to exclude patients who had 2 or more exacerbations of COPD in the year prior to Screening and patients who were placed in an institution due to a regulatory or court order. Addition of study-specific withdrawal criteria (based on measurable parameters for vital signs, laboratory results, electrocardiograms, lung function, and worsening of COPD)(section 3.9). Appendix C updated to align with Section 3.9.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
