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   44173   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7329   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To assess the ability to reduce Oral Corticosteroid (OCS) dose in adult patients with severe eosinophilic asthma treated with benralizumab 30 mg Subcutaneous (SC)
    Valutare la capacità di ridurre la dose di OCS in pazienti adulti con asma eosinofilica severa trattati con benralizumab 30 mg sottocute
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    1. To assess the sustained reduction of daily OCS dose while not losing asthma control during approximately 6 months after the end of OCS down-titration (maintenance phase) in adult patients with severe eosinophilic asthma treated with benralizumab 30 mg SC

    2. To assess the effect of OCS down titration protocol on asthma control in adult patients with severe eosinophilic asthma treated with benralizumab 30 mg SC

    3. To assess the effect of OCS down titration protocol on quality of life in adult patients with severe eosinophilic asthma treated with benralizumab 30 mg SC
    1. Valutare il mantenimento della riduzione della dose di OCS giornaliera senza perdita del controllo dell'asma nel periodo di approssimativamente 6 mesi dopo la fine del periodo diriduzione della dose di OCS (fase di mantenimento) in pazienti adulti con asma eosinofilica severa trattata con benralizumab 30mg sottocute

    2. Valutare l'effetto del protocollo di riduzione della dose di OCS sul controllo dell'asma in pazienti con asma eosinofilica severa trattati con benralizumab 30mg sottocute

    3. Valutare l'effetto della riduzione della dose di OCS sulla qualità della vita in pazienti adulti con asma eosinofilica severa trattata con benralizumab 30mg sottocute
