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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 evaluate the efficacy of budesonide/albuterol sulfate (salbutamol) metered-dose inhaler 80/180 μg and 160/180 μg administered prn in response to symptoms compared to albuterol sulfate (salbutamol) metered-dose inhaler 180 μg.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The final protocol, informed consent form (ICF) and other written materials provided to patients were submitted to and approved by an Ethics Committee (EC). The investigator at each study centre ensured that the distribution of these documents to the applicable EC and to the study site staff. An Independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) was established to assess the ongoing safety of the study. The IDMC reviewed blinded data (open session) and unblinded safety data (closed session) quarterly to assess any safety related reasons why the study should continue, be modified, or stopped. The IDMC chair and all committee members were independent specialists separate from the study team or contract research organization. Electronic diary alerted patients, investigator site and the Sponsor’s medical monitoring team when the patient’s symptoms and/or study medication prn use had increased and/or PEF decreased over 2 days in order to initiate contact between the patient and the investigator site to determine the well-being of the patient. Patients were advised to contact the investigator if their symptoms necessitated more than 8 puffs in a day.
    Background therapy
    Patients enrolled onto the trial were allowed to continue to take their background asthma maintenance therapy following randomization to investigational product. Per eligibility criteria, acceptable background maintenance therapies included: Medium-to-high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) with or without 1 additional controller (leukotriene receptor agonist (LTRA), long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), or theophylline); Or Low-to-high-dose ICS in combination with long-acting ß2-agonist (LABA), with or without 1 additional controller (LTRA, LAMA, or theophylline).

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Four patients were randomized in error and immediately discontinued without receiving any amount of randomly assigned treatment. One patient was randomized but never exposed to randomized study drug. These subjects are excluded from summaries of baseline characteristics, efficacy, and safety. A further four randomized subjects were excluded from the summaries of baseline characteristics and efficacy in the full analysis set due to being determined to be duplicate patients.

    End point description
    This endpoint includes all systemic corticosteroids (SCS) taken in response to a severe exacerbation event from randomization up to randomized treatment discontinuation or a change in maintenance therapy. All SCS are standardized to equipotent doses of prednisone before deriving the total dose. The total annualized dose is calculated as the total dose of SCS divided by the duration of the randomized treatment period.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Adverse events (AEs) were collected from the time of signed informed consent/assent and up to the safety follow up period. Reported AEs are those that occurred from the date of first dose of randomized treatment up to date of treatment discontinuation.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Adverse events reported include the AEs accrued between the primary database lock and up to the final database lock, treatment completion and safety follow-up for the patients who were still on-going at the time of the primary database lock.
