About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Ectoin® Inhalation Solution EIL07 as Supportive Treatment for Children and Adult With Mild to Moderate Asthma: a Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) Study.

The goal of this multi-centre, prospective, open-label, single-arm, post-market clinical follow-up study is to further strengthen the already existing clinical evidence for supportive treatment and symptoms alleviation in asthma by evaluating the clinical efficacy of Ectoin® Inhalation Solution in paediatric and adults patients with mild to moderate asthma.

Read the detailed description

A multi-centre, prospective, open-label, post-market follow-up study according to Article 61 and Part-B Annex XIV Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745) and conforming to International Organization for Standardization - Clinical investigation of medical devices for human subjects - Good clinical practice (ISO 14155:2020) requirements.

Study participation will be offered to patients with clinically diagnosed Asthma for which the Ectoin Inhalation Solution is indicated. The enrollment will be subject to an invitation by the investigators of the study sites among their paediatric and adult outpatients coming in for the consultation about asthma. Participation in the study will be, however, based on compliance with all the inclusion criteria and subsequent signed informed consent (ICF) including assent where applicable.

The duration of participation in the clinical study will be 42±2 days (6 weeks) from enrollment). The clinical investigation comprises 4 visits and 1 telephone call. During the study, Ectoin® Inhalation Solution will be used from Visit V2 onwards until V3 (3 weeks) according to the Instruction for Use (IFU). V3 marks the end-of-treatment. However, a follow-up will be conducted at V4 which will mark the end-of-study/ end-of-follow-up.

Visit 1: (D1): Screening, enrollment and training. The first visit will be used for acquiring ICF as per age requirements. Subsequently, the final screening assessment and training of PEF recording will be performed. Also, the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-7) to be filled out by enrolled patients on the day.

Minimum 3 days of training following V1 the morning Peak Expiratory Flow (mPEF) is to be measured in the morning upon awakening before taking any asthma controller/rescue medication. The evening Peak Expiratory Flow (ePEF) is to be measured at bedtime.

The baseline measurement will be represented by the mean of the 7 daily values recorded during the run-in period (week 1) and only after the aforesaid 3 days of training. The subject will measure mPEF and ePEF for at least 7 days and complete the patient diary as applicable (also mentioning asthma attack and exacerbation reporting, rescue medication if any). The V2 will be scheduled to respect this period of 7 days minimum for the baseline value of mPEF value.

Visit 2 (V2) - (Day 11-D13): EIL07 treatment start. Completion of Paediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ), ACQ-7 and Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ+12) questionnaires as applicable and Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) assessment.

From V2 to V3 patients will have to comply with daily treatment with EIL07, twice daily measurements of peak inspiratory flow, and daily completion of the diary (asthma attack and asthma exacerbation reporting, rescue medication, adverse event/incident linked to EIL07 intake).

A Telephone call (D21±2) will be initiated by the study clinics for updates (if any) and to check patient compliance.

Visit 3 (V3) - (Day 33- D37): End of Treatment. The end-of-treatment assessment will be the mean of mPEF at end of week 4 along with a repeat of all on-site questionnaires and assessments performed at V2. Completion of PAQLQ, ACQ-7and AQLQ+12 questionnaires and FeNO assessment.

**However, no mean will be performed at the visit and will be calculated after the end-of-study to establish the secondary endpoint.

From V3 to V4 patients will have to continue to record twice-daily measurements of mPEF and ePEF as well as daily completion of the diary (asthma attack and asthma exacerbation reporting, rescue medication if any)

Visit 4 (V4) - (Day 40- Day 45): End of study/end of follow-up. As a follow-up, all applicable PEFs will be repeated/recorded. Completion of ACQ-7 questionnaire and FeNO assessment.

The primary endpoint is the change of the mPEF from baseline to the end-of-treatment period (in 3 weeks' time). The Peak Expiratory Flow (applicable for both mPEF and ePEF) is defined as the maximum speed of expiration as measured with the Smart Peakflow (best of 3 measurements)

Secondary Endpoints:

  • Change in weekly mean evening Peak Expiratory Flow (ePEF).
  • Change in weekly mean morning Peak Expiratory Flow (mPEF).
  • Evolution of the mean number of days with rescue medication intakes.
  • Change of quality of life questionnaires, Paediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) score is applicable for children up to 12 years and Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ+12) is applicable for patients aged 12-years and older
  • Change of asthma control questionnaire (ACQ-7)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Ectoin® Inhalation SolutionDevice

    Ectoin Inhalation Solution (Class-IIa Medical Device Directive (MDD) legacy medical device) is an isotonic, aqueous solution containing Ectoin 1.3 % and sea salt 0.6%. It is used for moistening the lung epithelium by the Ectoin hydro complex and supports the barrier function of the lung epithelium. The inhalation solution can be administered with jet, mesh, and ultrasound nebulizers.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Morning Peak Expiratory Flow

    Change in mPEF during the treatment period from baseline will be analysed using a model for repeated measurements (MMRM) with time (week), mPEF baseline value and age class (<12 and ≥12 years) as fixed factors and patient as a random effect.

    The morning PEF is to be measured in the morning upon awakening before taking any asthma controller/rescue medication.

    The PEF is defined as the maximum speed of expiration as measured with the Smart Peakflow (best of 3 measurements). The baseline measurement is represented by the mean of the 7 daily values recorded during the run-in period (week 1) and the end-of-treatment measurement is the mean of morning PEF during week 4 (at least 7 days, V3)

    Measured: Baseline (week 1) upto week 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ectoin® Inhalation Solution in people with Asthma, run by Bitop AG at 5 sites in Poland.

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 8 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 20 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Poland. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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 Morning Peak Expiratory Flow (time frame: Baseline (week 1) upto week 4). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 20 Jun 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
