What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Adverse events per treatment arm

    Adverse events will be summarized descriptively by treatment arm. Verbatim terms will be mapped to preferred terms and organ systems using the current Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities version. For each preferred term, frequency counts and percentages will be calculated by cohort.The nature, severity, seriousness, and relationship to study medication will be summarized for all study subjects

    Measured: Change from pre-dose up to Day 36

    Laboratory data (hematology, biochemistry and urinalysis) will be summarized by treatment arm. Changes from pre-dose will be presented using shift tables (employing the categories 'normal', 'abnormal, clinically not significant' and 'abnormal, clinically significant') and absolute changes in laboratory values, if appropriate.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing XC8 (histamine glutarimide) in people with Asthma, run by EURRUS Biotech GmbH at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Austria, Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Adverse events per treatment arm (time frame: Change from pre-dose up to Day 36). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02882217, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 May 2017.
