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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    • To investigate the safety and tolerability of once daily treatment with inhaled PC945 for 28 days in adult subjects with CF who have persistent pulmonary Aspergillus fumigatus infection
    • To obtain estimates of derived systemic pharmacokinetic parameters of PC945 and the potential circulating metabolite(s), if detectable, following single and repeat doses of PC945
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To investigate the effect of PC945 on:
    - A. fumigatus burden in sputum, measured by the number of CFUs, on fungal culture
    - The conversion of sputum culture from A. fumigatus +ve to A. fumigatus -ve
    - A. fumigatus burden in sputum measured by qPCR
    - A. fumigatus-specific IgG levels
    - Clinically relevant outcome measures, in particular QoL, cough, breathlessness and sputum characteristic
    - Markers of A. fumigatus sensitisation: total IgE in subjects with elevated Total IgE levels at study entry, A. fumigatus-specific IgE in subjects with elevated levels of A. fumigatus-specific IgE at study entry

    To determine if changes in sputum A. fumigatus concentrations on qPCR are related to measures of fungal burden in sputum
    To investigate correlation between sputum A. fumigatus levels measured by qPCR and clinical variables including CF QoL questionnaire and lung function and to investigate if changes in sputum A. fumigatus measured by qPCR predict clinical response
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
