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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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
    To demonstrate the risk of AD relapse can be significantly reduced by extended intermittent dosing with Fluticasone propionate 0.05% cream in addition to regular emollient therapy in the maintenance treatment (20 weeks) of atopic dermatitis as compared with application of physiogel lotion alone.

    Screening details
    Eligible participants (par.) received twice daily (BID) fluticasone propionate 0.05% (FP) cream up to 4 weeks (wk) (in Acute Phase), then par. received (1:1) either emollient BID plus FP cream once daily (OD) twice a wk, or emollient BID up to 20 wk (Maintenance Phase).

    Participants who satisfied eligibility criteria received FP 0.05% cream BID up to 4 weeks. FP 0.05% cream was applied to affected sites and any newly occurring atopic dermatitis (AD) sites. Investigator assessed Eczema Area, AD Severity, Visual Skin Assessment, and conducted physical examination, vital sign measurement in the Acute Phase. The efficacy and safety in the Acute Phase was assessed every 2 weeks up to 4 weeks or until treatment success.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: This milestone is included to state that 4 participants completed the acute phase but did not enter the maintenance phase.

During the Maintenance Phase, the participants received emollient BID plus FP 0.05% cream OD twice a week up to 20 weeks. FP 0.05% cream was applied to all healed sites and any newly occurring sites. Emollient was applied before the application of FP 0.05% cream to the affected and unaffected areas.

    Change from Baseline in Quality of Life (QoL) at the end of the Maintenance Phase
    End point description
    Infant's Dermatitis Quality of Life Index (IDQOL) and Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) were used to evaluate quality of life for participants of age between 1 to 16 years. IDQOL and CDLQI questionnaires were designed for infants (below the age of 4 years) and children (age 4 to age 16) with atopic dermatitis, respectively. The IDQOL and CDLQI were calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score in each questionnaire, the more quality of life is impaired. The change from Baseline in the QoL score is based on each questionnaire at the end of the Maintenance Phase and is calculated as the score at the end of the Maintenance Phase minus the Baseline score. Baseline is defined as QoL scores obtained at Visit 4 (end of Acute Phase). A QOL is equal to IDQOL if the age of a participant is < 4 years and it is equal to CDLQI if the age of a participant is between 4 and 16 years.

    Change from Baseline in QoL at the end of the Follow-up Phase
    End point description
    Infant's IDQOL and Children's CDLQI were used to evaluate quality of life for participants of age between 1 to 16 years. IDQOL and CDLQI questionnaires were designed for infants (below the age of 4 years) and children (age 4 to age 16) with AD, respectively. The IDQOL and CDLQI were calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score in each questionnaire, the more quality of life is impaired. The change from Baseline in QoL score is based on each questionnaire at the end of the Follow-up Phase and is calculated as the score at the end of the Follow-up Phase minus the Baseline score. Baseline is defined as QoL scores obtained at Visit 4 (end of Acute Phase). A QOL is equal to IDQOL if the age of a participant is < 4 years and it is equal to CDLQI if the age of a participant is between 4 and 16 years.

    Change from Baseline in cutaneous atrophy sign score, epidermal thickening /lichenification sign score and abnormal pigmentation score using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at the end of the Acute Phase
    End point description
    Investigator evaluated and scored the signs of cutaneous atrophy (CA), epidermal thickening/lichenification (ET/L) and abnormal pigmentation (AP) using Visual Analogue Scale (ranging from 0 to 10, higher values represent a worse outcome) based on their subjective judgment. The change from Baseline in each signs (Cutaneous atrophy, epidermal thickening / lichenification and abnormal pigmentation) score at the end of the Acute Phase (Visit 4 [Week 0 or treatment success, depend on which time point comes first) ±2day]) and is calculated as the score at Visit 4 minus the Baseline score. Baseline is defined as the VAS score for each sign obtained before the first dose of study drug in the Acute Phase of the study (Visit 2). Summation of the VAS scores for each sign (CA, ET/L and AP) was done to calculate the Total VAS score (ranging from 0 to 30, higher values represent a worse outcome) at Visit 4 of the Acute Phase of the study.

    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Serious adverse events (SAEs) and non-serious adverse events (AEs) were collected from the start of study drug until follow-up (last dose of study treatment (emollient), up to Week 32).
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    SAEs and non-serious AEs were collected in participants of the Safety Population, comprised of all participants who received study therapy during the Acute Phase, Maintenance Phase and Follow-up Phase and have a safety assessment in the Acute Phase, Maintenance Phase and Follow-up Phase of the study.

    Reporting group description
    Participants who satisfied eligibility criteria received FP 0.05% cream BID up to 4 weeks. FP 0.05% cream was applied to affected sites and any newly occurring atopic dermatitis (AD) sites. Investigator assessed Eczema Area, AD Severity, Visual Skin Assessment, and conducted physical examination, vital sign measurement in the Acute Phase. The efficacy and safety of FP 0.05% cream was assessed every 2 weeks up to 4 weeks or until treatment success.

    Reporting group title
    Emollient plus FP 0.05% cream
    Reporting group description
    Participants with treatment success during the Acute Phase were enrolled in the Maintenance Phase. Treatment success is defined as participants with Physician Static Global Assessment (PSGA) less than or equal to 1; and the improvement greater than or equal to 2 compared to Baseline (the six-point scale of PSGA score range from 0 to 5 where 0=clear, 1=almost clear, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=severe, 5=very severe). During the Maintenance Phase, the participants received emollient BID plus FP 0.05% cream OD twice a week up to 20 weeks. FP 0.05% cream was applied to all healed sites and any newly occurring sites. Emollient was applied before the application of FP 0.05% cream to the affected and unaffected areas.
