About this study

Official title: Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial to Assess Efficacy, Safety and Optimal Dose of XC8 in Patients With Partly Controlled Bronchial Asthma Receiving Stable Treatment With Low Doses of Inhaled Corticosteroids With or Without Long-acting beta2-agonists

A multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group comparative Phase II clinical study to assess the efficacy and safety of different doses of XC8 vs Placebo in patients with partly controlled bronchial asthma receiving stable treatment with low doses of inhaled corticosteroids with or without long-acting beta2-agonists during 12-weeks treatment period.

Study design was developed by Pharmenterprises LLS, Russia in cooperation with Eurrus Biotech GmbH, Austria and FGK Clinical Research GmbH, Germany.

The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of different doses of XC8 on change in pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (% of predicted value) at Week 12 as compared to baseline at Week 0 vs. Placebo in patients with partly controlled bronchial asthma (BA).

Read the detailed description

Twenty Russian centers were approved for participation in this study. Twelve centers were initiated. Patients were enrolled in 12 centers. The study consisted of 4 periods: Screening, Run-In Period, Treatment Period, and Follow-up. All eligible patients were randomized into one of four treatment groups in a ratio of 1:1:1:1.

Treatment group of XC8 2 mg daily (30 patients) Treatment group of XC8 10 mg daily (30 patients) Treatment group of XC8 100 mg daily (30 patients) Treatment group of Placebo (30 patients) The study drug was manufactured by order Pharmenterprises LLS, Russia and Eurrus Biotech GmbH, Austria. During the treatment period (12 weeks) patients took the study drug or Placebo once a day in addition to stable low doses of Inhaled Corticosteroids (ICS) with or without long-acting beta2-agonists (LABA). The follow-up period lasted for 4 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing XC8 Oral Tablet in people with Bronchial Asthma, run by PHARMENTERPRISES LLC at 12 sites in Russia.

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 11 inclusion and 23 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 1 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Russia. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Change in Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) in % of predicted value (time frame: Week 0 - Week 12). 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 NCT03450434, 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 1 Mar 2018.
