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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 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 The study was terminated early as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak as the study was being conducted in a vulnerable patient group that was at very high risk of severe illness from COVID-19 and recruitment was halted by the hospitals involved in the study. As it was not possible to predict when recruitment could recommence, and it was unlikely that the trials could be completed without significant changes to the protocols, the Sponsor stopped the study on 01 June 2020.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with Good Clinical Practice and applicable regulatory requirements. Known instances of non-conformance were documented and are not considered to have had an impact on the overall conclusions of the study.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Eighteen subjects were to be enrolled to ensure that at least 10 subjects received PC945 and completed the study

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Six subjects were entered into the study, two of whom failed screening. Four subjects were recruited, one of whom was an earlier screening failure who was re-screened and then successfully entered the study. One subject was discontinued when the study was halted temporarily; the study was then terminated early as a result of COVID-19.

    15 Nov 2019
    The study had been placed on temporary hold due to a quality issue with the study drug (sweet odour/taste) that was attributed to the terminal sterilisation of the product via ionising radiation. There were no AEs owing to the quality issue. The quality issue had no impact on the active ingredient PC945 or product performance. The study was scheduled to be restarted using study drug manufactured via aseptic processing.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Due to the early termination and the limited number of subjects who completed the study no formal analysis are presented for secondary endpoints.
