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   44306   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7355   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
    The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fevipiprant 150 mg and 450 mg compared to placebo in the reduction of nasal polyps size and the effect on symptoms, quality of life and smell via patient-reported outcomes in patients with nasal polyposis and concomitant asthma.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial. At the start of the Run-in period, all patients were provided with a short-acting bronchodilator (SABA, such as salbutamol 100 mcg or albuterol 90 mcg) which they were instructed to use throughout the study as rescue medication on an ‘as needed basis’.
    Background therapy
    		 During the Run-in period and Treatment period patients utilized mometasone furoate spray (200 μg once daily, administered as two 50 μg actuations into each nostril).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 Participants took part in 25 investigative sites in 9 countries.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 After the screening, participants went through a Run-in period of 4 weeks where they utilized mometasone furoate spray into each nostril. Afterwards, patients were randomized in 1:1:1 ratio in either of the 3 arms and continued to use the mometasone furoate spray.

    		 Change from baseline in Nasal Polyp Score at Week 16
    End point description
    Nasal Polyp Score (NPS) is the sum of the right and left nostril scores, as evaluated by means of nasal endoscopy. Total score ranges from 0 to 8 (scored 0 [no polyp] to 4 [large polyps] for each nostril), with a lower score indicating smaller-sized polyps. Baseline NPS is defined as the last measurement performed on or before the date of randomization. A negative change from baseline in NPS is considered a favorable outcome.

    SNOT-22 (Sino-Nasal Outcome Test) Questionnaire is a disease specific Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) measure that comprises a list of 22 symptoms and social or emotional consequences of the nasal disorder. Every participant is asked to rate how severe each problem had been for them over the past 2 weeks on a scale from 0 (no problem) to 5 (problem as bad as it can be). The total score is the sum of the scores for all 22 items, ranging from 0 to 110, with a lower score indicating better HRQoL. Baseline SNOT-22 is defined as the last assessment performed on or before the date of randomization. A negative change from baseline in SNOT-22 is considered a favorable outcome.

    		 Change from baseline in sense of smell as assessed by the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) at Week 16
    End point description
    The UPSIT (University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test) is a test that measures an individual's ability to detect odors. It consists of 4 workbooks of 10 pages each. On each page there is a different "scratch and sniff" strip which is embedded with a microencapsulated odorant and a question regarding the smell detected with a four-choice option for the response. The total number of questions in UPSIT is 40. The number of correct responses regarding the smells being experienced is summed to provide a total score that ranges from 0 to 40, with a higher score indicating a better sense of smell. Baseline UPSIT is defined as the last assessment performed on or before the date of randomization. A positive change from baseline in UPSIT is considered a favorable outcome.
