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   44341   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7370   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 and safety of Budesonide and Formoterol Fumarate Metered Dose Inhaler (BFF MDI) 160/9.6 μg BID compared with Budesonide MDI 160 μg, over 12 weeks.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The conduct of this study met all the local legal and regulatory requirements. The study was conducted in accordance with ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and was consistent with the ICH guidelines on GCP. Participating participants signed the informed consent form and could withdraw from the study at any time without any disadvantage and without having to provide a reason for this decision. Only investigators qualified by training and experience were selected as appropriate experts to investigate the study drug.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Subjects with inadequately controlled asthma (ACQ-7 total score ≥ 1.5) despite treatment with low dose ICS or ICS/LABA were recruited at 106 sites across 7 countries. Participants were randomized in a 1:1 scheme to BFF MDI 160/9.6 μg or BD MDI 160 μg. The treatment period was 12 weeks in duration.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    All participants had to be taking a stable daily low dose ICS or ICS/LABA for at least 8 weeks prior to Visit 1. Of the 374 randomized participants, all populations exclude 17 participants from 4 sites due GCP violation and 4 participants due to not receiving therapy.

The number of subjects analyzed is based on the Efficacy Set, which excludes 7 participants who were randomized multiple times at sites or studies. Additionally, only subjects with non-missing baseline covariates used in the analysis model are included in the analysis.

    End point description
    Percentage of responders in the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire for 12 years and older (AQLQ(s) +12) (≥ 0.5 increase equals response) over 12 Weeks. Treatment policy is implemented to handle all intercurrent events with the exception of initiation of new asthma therapy or administration of prohibited medications thought to impact efficacy in conjunction with premature discontinuation of randomised study intervention, for which the composite strategy is implemented.

    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Adverse events were reported by the participant (or, when appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, or the participant's legally authorized representative). The Investigator and any designees were responsible for detecting, documenting, and recording events that meet the definition of an AE.

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    13 Oct 2022
    Home-coached spirometry removed from study to reduce participant and clinical study site burden as well as reduce the study operational complexity; clarifications/additions to the statistical analysis; and required wording from the updated AstraZeneca protocol standard template added.
    05 Dec 2023
    An amendment was required to update statistical methodology, including changes to estimands, the Type 1 error control procedure, covariates in the analysis models, and analysis sets and to add updated wording from the new AstraZeneca protocol standard template.
    15 Oct 2024
    An amendment was required to update the statistical methodological approaches to handling intercurrent events and the Type 1 error control procedure for EU/RoW health authorities.
