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.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: One randomized subject did not receive treatment as the subject deviated from the protocol and was randomized in error.

    Change from baseline in trough Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at Week 12
    End point description
    To investigate the clinical efficacy of AZD7594 at different dose levels in asthmatics symptomatic on low dose ICS (Full Analysis Set). Trough value was defined as the mean of the 2 measurements 30 minutes apart (23 hours after last dose) pre-dose for every visit throughout the Treatment Period (Visit 4/Week 2 to Visit 7/Week 12). Baseline was defined as the mean of the 2 measured values before first investigational product (IP) administration (30 minutes apart, at −45 minutes and −15 minutes, before IP administration) on Day 1 (Visit 3). Analyses were based on a Mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) with treatment, visit, treatment by visit interaction and region as fixed effects, and baseline value and baseline by visit interaction as covariates.

    Change from baseline in trough FEV1 at Weeks 2, 4, 8 and average over the Treatment Period
    End point description
    To investigate the clinical efficacy of AZD7594 at different dose levels in asthmatics symptomatic on low dose ICS (Full Analysis Set). Trough value was defined as the mean of the 2 measurements 30 minutes apart (23 hours after last dose) pre-dose for every visit throughout the Treatment Period. Baseline was defined as the mean of the 2 measured values before first IP administration on Day 1. Analyses were based on a MMRM with treatment, visit, treatment by visit interaction and region as fixed effects, and baseline value and baseline by visit interaction as covariates. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with treatment and region (ie, US, Japan, and Rest of the World [RoW]) as fixed effects, and baseline as covariate was used for the analysis of average over the Treatment Period. The reported number of subjects analysed corresponds to Week 2 and for Weeks 4, 8, 12 and average over the Treatment Period, the number of subjects analysed are provided as comment in the row titles.

    Change from baseline in Fractional exhaled nitic oxide (FENO) at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12 and average over the Treatment Period
    End point description
    To investigate the clinical efficacy of AZD7594 at different dose levels in asthmatics symptomatic on low dose ICS (Full Analysis Set). Baseline was defined as the last value obtained prior to the first dose of investigational product. Analyses were based on a MMRM with change from baseline on the log-scale as the response, treatment, visit, treatment by visit interaction and region as fixed effects, and log-transformed baseline value and baseline by visit interaction as covariates. The reported number of subjects analysed corresponds to Week 2 and for Weeks 4, 8, 12 and average over the Treatment Period, the number of subjects analysed are provided as comment in the row titles.

    Change from baseline in trough Forced vital capacity (FVC) at Week 12 and average over the Treatment Period
    End point description
    To investigate the clinical efficacy of AZD7594 at different dose levels in asthmatics symptomatic on low dose ICS(Full Analysis Set).Trough value was defined as the mean of the 2 measurements 30 minutes apart(23 hours after last dose) pre-dose for every visit throughout the Treatment Period (Week 2 to Week 12).Baseline was defined as the mean of the 2 measured values before first IP administration(30 minutes apart, at −45 minutes and −15 minutes, before IP administration) on Day 1. Analyses were based on a MMRM with treatment, visit, treatment by visit interaction and region as fixed effects, and baseline value and baseline by visit interaction as covariates. Analysis of covariance with treatment and region as fixed effects, and baseline as covariate was used for the analysis of average over the Treatment Period. Reported number of subjects analysed corresponds to Week 12 and for average over the Treatment Period, the number of subjects analysed are provided as comment in row title.

    Change from baseline in Asthma Control Questionnaire -5 (ACQ-5) at Week 12 and average over the Treatment Period
    End point description
    To investigate the clinical efficacy of AZD7594 at different dose levels in asthmatics symptomatic on low dose ICS (Full Analysis Set). Baseline was defined as the ACQ-5 score at Visit 3. Analyses were based on a MMRM with treatment, visit, treatment by visit interaction and region as fixed effects, and baseline value and baseline by visit interaction as covariates. Analysis of covariance with treatment and region as fixed effects, and baseline as covariate was used for the analysis of average over the Treatment Period. The questionnaire has 5 items; each item is scored on a scale of 0 to 6, where higher scores represent more severe impairment/symptoms. The overall ACQ-5 score is the average of the scores for each of the questions included in the questionnaire. Reported number of subjects analysed corresponds to Week 12 and for average over the Treatment Period, the number of subjects analysed are provided as comment in row title.

    Change from baseline in average daily asthma symptom score over the Treatment Period
    End point description
    To investigate the clinical efficacy of AZD7594 at different dose levels in asthmatics symptomatic on low dose ICS (Full Analysis Set). Baseline was defined as the average over the 7 days prior to randomisation. Analyses were based on an ANCOVA model with treatment and region as fixed effects, and baseline value as a covariate. During the Run-in and Treatment Periods, subjects recorded the severity of their asthma symptoms during night-time and day-time each morning and evening, using the eDiary. Asthma symptom scores during night-time/day-time were assessed by the subject each morning/evening according to the following scoring system and recorded on the eDiary: 0: No asthma symptoms, 1: The subjects were aware of their asthma symptoms but they can easily tolerate the symptoms, 2: asthma was causing enough discomfort to cause problems with sleep, 3: Subjects were unable to sleep/do normal activities because of their asthma.

    Time to recurrent Composite endpoint for severe exacerbations of asthma (CompEx) event
    End point description
    To investigate the clinical efficacy of AZD7594 at different dose levels in asthmatics symptomatic on low dose ICS (Full Analysis Set). CompEx is a composite endpoint combining severe exacerbations of asthma and diary events. CompEx is a composite surrogate endpoint for severe exacerbations of asthma, recently developed by AstraZeneca (it is not yet a regulatory-approved clinical endpoint). Severe exacerbations are defined as those episodes that lead to hospitalisation, emergency room visit and/or treatment with oral corticosteroids. Time at risk was calculated as [(date of last treatment – date of randomisation)+1 – recovery time. Recovery time was the sum (from i=1 to k) of (min with event end date +7, date of last treatment] – with event start date +1). No statistical analysis is done for this endpoint.

    To investigate the clinical efficacy of AZD7594 at different dose levels in asthmatics symptomatic on low dose ICS (Full Analysis Set). CompEx is a composite endpoint combining severe exacerbations of asthma and diary events. CompEx is a composite surrogate endpoint for severe exacerbations of asthma, recently developed by AstraZeneca (it is not yet a regulatory-approved clinical endpoint). Severe exacerbations are defined as those episodes that lead to hospitalisation, emergency room visit and/or treatment with oral corticosteroids. CompEx Model: Rates, rate ratios, and p-values were from a negative binomial model analysis, with event count as the dependent variable, with treatment and region as covariates and log-transformed time at risk (days) as an offset variable to account for overdispersion.

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    26 Apr 2019
    Deletion of peak FEV1 from the secondary efficacy endpoints. Update of the inclusion criteria to include only subjects with BMI ≤ 35. Deletion of the expected number of subjects in the US vs. non-US sites. Removal of interim futility analysis. Specification of inclusion criterion #7 (pre-bronchodilator FEV1 at Visit 3 between 40% and 90% predicted). Deletion of QT interval corrected using Bazett’s formula; addition of appropriate electrocardiogram parameters. Clarification of exclusion criterion #3 and exclusion criterion #21 for alcohol and drug abuse. Clarified the required treatments for postmenopausal subjects. Clarified that the subjects were discontinued when specified criteria are met. Deletion of measure peak expiratory flow at Screening. Clarification of the number of measurement and timing of spirometry. Clarification of the compliance rate in the Run-in Period and the expected compliance rate in the Treatment Period. Clarification that peak expiratory flow was measured at home after completing the morning and evening diary. Clarification that Forced oscillation technique evaluation and training took place at Visit 1, instead of Visit 2. Deletion of the description that rescue medication should be recorded as concomitant medication. Clarification that the analysis set used for demographic and baseline characteristics was Full analysis set. Clarification that baseline asthma severity was assessed using the pre-SABA value at Visit 2, instead of pre-bronchodilator value at Visit 1. The number of subjects who met the reversibility criteria was deleted. “Individual plasma concentrations vs. time on Week 12 (Day 84) plotted on linear and semi-logarithmic scale with all treatments overlaid on the same plot and separate plots for each subject” was no longer provided as part of PK analysis. Geometric SD was no longer presented on figures of geometric mean for concentration-time data as part of the PK analysis. Clarification of the definition of ACQ-5 responder.
