About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-label, 8 Day Treatment Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of Fevipiprant Delivered Via a Once Daily Chewable Tablet in Children Aged 6 to <12 Years With Asthma

The purpose of this study was to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of fevipiprant (QAW039) delivered as a chewable tablet (CT) in pediatric asthma subjects aged 6 to < 12 years with asthma. The results of this study will support the identification of a fevipiprant dose for subsequent pediatric efficacy studies aiming to provide an exposure similar to that of the to-be marketed adult/adolescent dose. In addition, the first data on safety and tolerability of fevipiprant in this age group was obtained.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study was to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of fevipiprant delivered as a chewable tablet (CT) in pediatric asthma subjects aged 6 to < 12 years. The results of this study would have supported the identification of a fevipiprant dose for subsequent pediatric efficacy studies aiming to provide an exposure similar to that of the to-be marketed adult/adolescent dose. Based on evaluation of the fevipiprant asthma development program in the recently completed studies (CQAW039A2307/ CQAW039A2314) in the adult population (the analyses of these studies did not meet the clinically relevant threshold for reduction in rate of moderate-to-severe exacerbation compared to placebo over a 52-week treatment period for either of the doses [i.e. 150 mg/ 450 mg]), Novartis decided to discontinue this study (CQAW039B2201).

There will be 2 treatment dose cohorts studied (fevipiprant dose A once daily and one higher dose selected based on PK obtained at dose A mg/day, fevipiprant dose B once daily). Within each dose cohort, subjects will be stratified approximately 1:1 ratio into 2 age groups: ages 6 to \< 9 years and ages 9 to \< 12 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fevipiprant in people with Asthma, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 6 sites in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Jul 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Pharmacokinetics of Fevipiprant by Area Under the Curve From 0 to 24 Hours at Steady State (AUC0-24h,ss), After at Least Four Consecutive Days of Dosing (time frame: End of Treatment (pre-dose, 0.5hours, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 5 hours and 8 hours)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 Jan 2026.
