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   43874   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7294   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.

    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Asthma, a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways, is characterized by a variability of symptoms that can evolve in an acute and sometimes severe form. Treatment of asthma involves daily treatment and reliever therapy. The characteristics of the inflammation underlying the disease are still under study as they are very heterogeneous. In 50% of cases, the inflammation is of type T-helper 2 high, characterised by atopy, high levels of eosinophils in the blood and sputum.
    L'asma, patologia infiammatoria cronica delle vie aeree, è caratterizzata da una variabilità dei sintomi che possono manifestarsi in forma acuta e talvolta grave. La terapia dell'asma prevede un trattamento di fondo e una terapia al bisogno. Le caratteristiche dell'infiammazione sottostante la patologia sono ancora in studio in quanto molto eterogenee. Nel 50% dei casi l'infiammazione è di tipo T-helper 2 caratterizzata da atopia, alti livelli di eosinofii nel sangue e nell'espettorato.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of this study is to describe, in patients with mild/moderate asthma, the changes in the inflammatory profile in correspondence with the onset of asthma symptoms that lead to the use of fast-acting bronchodilator reliever therapy (RABD)
    The inflammatory and functional status of the patient’s airways will be assessed by measuring FeNO levels, eosinophils sputum counts and peak expiratory flow both in conditions of clinical stability and in correspondence with the onset of symptoms that lead the subject to use the rescue medication.
    L’obiettivo principale del presente studio è quello di descrivere, in pazienti con asma lieve/moderato, le variazioni del profilo infiammatorio in corrispondenza della comparsa di sintomi di asma che portino all’utilizzo della terapia al bisogno broncodilatatrice a rapida insorgenza d’azione (RABD)
    Lo stato infiammatorio e funzionale delle vie aeree dei pazienti verrà valutato mediante la misurazione dei livelli di FeNO, la conta eosinofilica nell’espettorato ed il picco di flusso espiratorio sia in condizioni di stabilità clinica di base che in corrispondenza dell’insorgenza di sintomi che portano il soggetto a utilizzare la rescue medication.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Considering the susceptibility of asthmatic inflammation to inhaled steroid therapy, when patients take inhaled steroid together with bronchodilator as per the cross-over protocol, will evaluate the influence that the inhaled steroid has on the inflammatory profile after its use together with RABD in as-needed therapy.
    Considerando la suscettibilità della infiammazione asmatica alla terapia steroidea inalatoria, quando i pazienti assumeranno steroide inalatorio insieme al broncodilatatore come da protocollo cross over si valuterà l’influenza che lo steroide inalatorio ha sul profilo infiammatorio dopo il suo utilizzo assieme al RABD come terapia al bisogno.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    To evaluate the characteristics of airway inflammation and its variations in correspondence with the onset of asthma symptoms that lead to the use of reliever therapy (RABD):
    - FeNO levels in exhaled air as an indirect index of T2 inflammation typical of bronchial asthma;
    - the levels of eosinophilia in the sputum in absolute value and as a percentage as a direct index of T2 inflammation typical of bronchial asthma;
    - both in relation to the respiratory function studied by FEV1 and PEF values.
    Valutare le caratteristiche dell’infiammazione delle vie aeree e le sue variazioni in corrispondenza dell’insorgenza dei sintomi asmatici che portano all’utilizzo della terapia al bisogno (RABD):
    -i livelli di FeNO nell’aria esalata quale indice indiretto della infiammazione T2 tipica dell’asma bronchiale;
    - i livelli di eosinofilia nell’espettorato in valore assoluto ed in percentuale quale indice diretto della infiammazione T2 tipica dell’asma bronchiale;
    - entrambi in rapporto alla funzionalità respiratoria studiata mediante i valori di FEV1 e PEF.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    From V1 (screening and baseline) to V6 (follow-up visit) for up to 6 weeks of home monitoring.
    Dalla V1 (screening e baseline) alla V6 (visita di follow-up) per un massimo di 6 settimane di monitoraggio domiciliare.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    The influence of the inhaled steroid in reliever therapy (in addition to RABD). In patients who will take the inhaled steroid associated with RABD as reliever therapy, the inflammatory profile will be monitored for up to 48 hours (basal FENO, FENO after inhalation therapy at regular intervals, sputum collection before and after therapy with assessment of levels of eosinophilia in absolute and percentage values). Will be evaluated:
    - FeNO levels in the exhaled air before ICS-containing inhalation therapy and up to 48 hours after at regular intervals;
    - the number and percentage of eosinophils in the sputum before inhalation therapy in the two arms and after at least 3 hours from this;
    - the correlation between changes in PEF and/or FEV1 in the two groups in relation to changes in the inflammatory profile (FeNO and/or eosinophils in the sputum) before and after inhalation therapy;
    - the correlation between the changes in the VAS scale in the two groups in relation to changes in the inflammatory profile (FeNO and/or eosinophils in the sputum) before and after inhalation therapy;
    - the time interval between taking reliever therapy and the subjective improvement of symptoms in both groups after the administration of questionnaires (VAS scale);
    - any correlation between changes in PEF and/or FEV1 in relation to symptomatic changes (VAS scale);
    - any correlation between changes in FeNO in relation to symptomatic variations (VAS scale);
    - any correlation between changes in eosinophils in the sputum in relation to symptomatic changes (VAS scale);
    - evaluate the number of episodes of asthma symptoms in the two groups during the entire duration of the monitoring;
    - the change in respiratory function values ¿¿(spirometry at the randomization visit and spirometry at the end of monitoring visit) and airway resistance via IOS (IOS at the randomization visit and at the end of monitoring visit) in the two groups.
    - the correlation between eosinophilia and FeNO levels at the randomization visit and at the end of monitoring visit;
    - the correlation between eosinophilia and the eosinophilic count on sputum at the randomization visit and at the end of monitoring visit.
    L'nfluenza dello steroide inalatorio nella terapia al bisogno (in aggiunta al RABD). Nei pazienti che assumeranno lo steroide inalatorio associato al RABD come terapia al bisogno, sarà monitorato fino a 48 ore il profilo infiammatorio (FENO basale, FENO dopo la terapia inalatoria ad intervalli cadenzati, raccolta dell’espettorato prima e dopo la terapia con valutazione dei livelli di eosinofilia in valore assoluto e percentuale). Verranno valutati:
    - i livelli di FeNO nell’aria esalata prima della terapia inalatoria contente ICS e fino a 48h dopo ad intervalli cadenzati;
    - il numero e la percentuale di eosinofili nell’espettorato prima della terapia inalatoria nei due bracci e dopo almeno 3 h da questa;
    - la correlazione tra le modifiche del PEF e/o del FEV1 nei due gruppi in relazione alle variazioni del profilo infiammatorio (FeNO e/o eosinofili nell’espettorato) prima e dopo la terapia inalatoria;
    - la correlazione tra le modifiche della scala VAS nei due gruppi in relazione alle variazioni del profilo infiammatorio (FeNO e/o eosinofili nell’espettorato) prima e dopo la terapia inalatoria;
    - l’intervallo di tempo tra l’assunzione della reliever therapy ed il miglioramento soggettivo dei sintomi in entrambi i gruppi dopo la somministrazione di questionari (scala VAS);
    - l’eventuale correlazione tra le modifiche del PEF e/o del FEV1 in relazione alle variazioni sintomatologiche (scala VAS);
    - l’eventuale correlazione tra le modifiche del FeNO in relazione alle variazioni sintomatologiche (scala VAS);
    - l’eventuale correlazione tra le modifiche degli eosinofili nell’espettorato in relazione alle variazioni sintomatologiche (scala VAS);
    - valutare il numero di episodi di sintomatologia asmatica nei due gruppi durante l’intera durata del monitoraggio;
    - la variazione dei valori di funzionalità respiratoria (spirometria alla visita di randomizzazione e spirometria alla visita di fine monitoraggio) e delle resistenze delle vie aeree tramite IOS (IOS alla visita di randomizzazione e alla visita di fine monitoraggio) nei due gruppi.
    - la correlazione tra eosinofilia e i livelli di FeNO alla visita di randomizzazione e alla visita di fine monitoraggio;
    - la correlazione tra eosinofilia e la conta eosinofilica sull’espettorato alla visita di randomizzazione e alla visita di fine monitoraggio.
