  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Patients who completed the core study (IGE025B1301) and who in the investigator's clinical judgment could benefit from continuous treatment of the study drug.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who currently have diagnosed cancer, are currently being investigated for possible cancer or have any history of cancer.
  • Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, UNLESS they are: women whose career, lifestyle, or sexual orientation precludes intercourse with a male partner; women whose partners have been sterilized by vasectomy or other means; using a highly effective method of birth control; or agreeing on total abstinence and the investigator also judges that the age, career lifestyle or sexual orientation of the patient ensures compliance.
  • With clinically significant uncontrolled systemic disease (eg: infection, hematological disease, renal, hepatic, coronary heart disease or other cardiovascular disease, cerebro-vascular, endocrinologic or gastrointestinal disease) after the treatment period of the core study.
  • Patients with a history of major protocol violations during the core study and who are considered potentially unreliable as judged by the investigator at each site.

About this study

Official title: An Extension Study to CIGE025B1301 to Evaluate the Long-term Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Omalizumab in Japanese Children (6 - 15 Years) With Inadequately Controlled Allergic Asthma Despite Current Recommended Treatment

The purpose of this extension study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of omalizumab as an add-on therapy in Japanese pediatric patients (6 to 15 years of age) with inadequately controlled allergic asthma despite current recommended treatment by providing continued treatment with omalizumab to patients who have previously completed the core study.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the long-term safety and tolerability of omalizumab by measuring AEs, serious AEs, physical examination, medical history, laboratory assessments and vital signs

    Measured: Every 3 months for approximately 2 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. To explore the efficacy of omalizumab by JPAC questionnaire; JPAC is the Japan Pediatric Asthma Control Program (JPAC)

    Measured: Every 3 months for approximately 2 years

  2. To explore the efficacy of omalizumab by QOL questionnaire score (Quality of life questionnaires for pediatric patients with bronchial asthma and their parents or caregivers (Gifu))

    Measured: Every 3 months for approximately 2 years

  3. To explore the efficacy of omalizumab by use of asthma long-term control medications

    Measured: Every 3 months for approximately 2 years

  4. To explore the efficacy of omalizumab by Pulmonary function (FEV1, FVC, V(・)50, V(・)25 and FEF25-75%)

    Measured: Every 3 months for approximately 2 years

  5. To collect the data on the number of hospitalizations, emergency room (ER) visits due to asthma

    Measured: Every 3 months for approximately 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Omalizumab in people with Allergic Asthma, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 15 sites in Japan.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in Japan. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

To assess the long-term safety and tolerability of omalizumab by measuring AEs, serious AEs, physical examination, medical history, laboratory assessments and vital signs (time frame: Every 3 months for approximately 2 years). 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 NCT01328886, 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 Nov 2016.
