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   44356   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7382   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 ).

    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: Of 276 participants who were randomized, 4 participants from 1 site was excluded from the full analysis population due to data integrity concerns & GCP violations, and one randomized participant did not receive any study intervention. Hence, a total of 271 participants were included in the Full analysis set population

    Change From Baseline in Total Endoscopic Nasal Polyps (NP) Score at Week 52 (Centrally Read)
    End point description
    Total endoscopic nasal polyps (NP) score evaluated the size and extent of nasal polyps via endoscopy. The assessments were performed by central video image recordings. The right & left nostrils were scored from 0 to 4 (0 = No polyps; 1 = Small polyps in the middle meatus; 2 = Polyps reaching below the lower border of the middle turbinate; 3 = Large polyps reaching the lower border of the inferior turbinate; and 4 = Large polyps causing complete obstruction of the inferior meatus). The scores were graded based on NP size, recorded as sum of the right and left nostril scores & ranges from 0 (no polyps) to 8 (large polyps), calculated by summing the scores in each nostril; with higher scores indicating worse status. Baseline=Day 1 value. Change from Baseline = Post-baseline value minus Baseline value. FAS population excluding participants from 1 site with GCP violation. Only those participants with data available at specified time points have been analyzed.

    Change from Baseline in Mean Nasal Obstruction Score Using Verbal Response Scale from Week 49 Through to Week 52
    End point description
    This endpoint evaluated change from baseline in the mean nasal obstruction score using a Verbal Response Scale (VRS) from Week 49 through to Week 52. Participants used VRS to rate nasal obstruction severity, with scores averaged over the specified period to assess treatment impact on nasal obstruction symptoms. Participants were asked to indicate the severity of nasal obstruction at their worst over the last 24 hours using a 4-point VRS, with options of no symptoms, mild symptoms, moderate and severe symptoms. This was scored on a scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 3 (severe symptoms). The average of daily scores in 4-weekly intervals were calculated & data are for Weeks 49-52. Baseline was defined as the average score from the 28 days of eDairy data collected prior to Day 1. Change from Baseline = Post-baseline value minus Baseline value. The analysis was performed on FAS population. The number of participants analyzed represents evaluable participants at specified time points.

    Change from Baseline in Lund Mackay Computerized Tomography (CT) Score at Week 52
    End point description
    The LMK CT scoring system is based on CT imaging of the sinuses with points given for degree of opacification: 0 =normal, 1 = partial opacification, 2 = total opacification. These points were applied to the maxillary, anterior ethmoid, posterior ethmoid, sphenoid, frontal sinus on each side (right and left). The osteomeatal complex (OC) is graded as 0 = not occluded, or 2 = occluded. The range for the total LMK CT score is therefore 0 (normal) to 24 (total opacification) when summed across both sides. Higher scores indicated more severe disease. Baseline was defined as Day 1 value. Change from Baseline = Post-baseline value minus Baseline value. The analysis was performed on the FAS population excluding participants from 1 site due to GCP violation. The number of participants analyzed represents evaluable participants at specified time points.

    Change from Baseline in Sino-nasal Outcome Test (SNOT)-22 Total Score at Week 52 
    End point description
    Sino-nasal outcome test-22 is a 22-item measure of disease specific health related quality of life (HRQoL). Participants were asked to rate the severity of their condition on each of the 22 items over the previous 2 weeks using a 6-point rating scale of 0-5 including: 0 = Not present/no problem; 1 = Very mild problem; 2 = Mild or slight problem; 3 = Moderate problem; 4 = Severe problem; 5 = Problem as “bad as it can be”. The scores for each question were summed up to derive the total score range for the SNOT-22 was from 0 (high quality of life) to 110 (worst quality of life), where higher scores indicate worse quality of life. Baseline was defined as Day 1 value. Change from Baseline = Post-baseline value minus Baseline value. The analysis was performed on the FAS population excluding participants from 1 site due to GCP violation. The number of participants analyzed represents evaluable participants at specified time points.
