About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Inhaled Budesonide (Pulmicort Turbuhaler) in Persons With Dysplasia of the Bronchial Epithelium

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. The use of budesonide may be an effective way to prevent bronchial dysplasia.

PURPOSE: Randomized double-blinded phase II trial to determine the effectiveness of budesonide in treating former or current smokers who have bronchial dysplasia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the efficacy of inhaled budesonide on the number and grade of bronchial epithelial dysplastic lesions in former and current smokers. II. Compare the effect of inhaled budesonide vs placebo in modulating several intermediate biomarkers (i.e., proliferation, apoptosis, morphometric, and methylation markers) in this patient population. III. Correlate the regression of bronchial dysplasia (number and grade) and improvement in sputum cytology (morphometric grade of atypical cells) with the modulations in molecular biomarkers in this patient population. IV. Compare the stability of the chemopreventive effect of these treatment regimens at six months after completion of these regimens in these patients. V. Compare the safety of these treatment regimens in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients are stratified according to gender, smoking status (current vs former), and morphometric index (no greater than 3.4 vs greater than 3.4). Patients are randomized into one of two treatment arms. Arm I: Patients receive inhaled budesonide twice daily. Arm II: Patients receive an inhaled placebo twice daily. Treatment continues for 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed at 7 months and 12 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 110 patients (55 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 15 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing budesonide in people with Lung Cancer, run by British Columbia Cancer Agency at 1 site in Canada.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 24 Jul 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. 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?

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.

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 24 Jul 2008.
