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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    •To evaluate the anti-viral effect of inhaled PC786 compared with placebo when added to standard of care (SoC) RSV treatment in haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients with acute RSV infection •To assess the safety and tolerability of 3 days of inhaled PC786 in HSCT subjects with acute RSV infection
    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.
    Background therapy
    Subjects received SoC for treatment of RSV at the study site. All medications taken were recorded. Oral ribavirin was permitted at all times on the study. Intravenous ribavirin treatment as SoC may be administered if required, only if a subject was already enrolled in the study. Treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins was permitted throughout the study.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Six subjects met all of the eligibility criteria and were randomised to receive treatment at 3 sites in the UK between 11 Dec 2018 and 19 Feb 2019. One subject was withdrawn from the study without being dosed. Five subjects who received 3 doses of PC786 or placebo were therefore included in the safety population.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    It was planned to recruit 30 subjects, with a minimum of 15 subjects to conduct an interim analysis after the winter 18/19 season. A total of six subjects were screened to take part in the study, of which, five subjects were randomised and completed the study.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Poor recruitment during the 2018/19 RSV season meant that an interim analysis to adjust the sample size was not possible. The chances of completing enrolment in the study in the 2019/20 RSV season were low and the study was terminated prematurely.
