About this study

Official title: Comparison of Single-dose Efficacy of Albuterol-HFA-BOI and Albuterol-HFA-MDI in Asthmatics With Poor Inhaler Coordinating Ability

This study was designed to examine the effectiveness of a breath-operated albuterol inhaler in asthma patients who have difficulty using their standard "press-and-breathe" inhaler.

Read the detailed description

This was a single-center, randomized, open-label, active-controlled, 2-period, 2-sequence, single dose-dose, crossover comparison of the ability of Albuterol BOI-HFA to produce bronchodilation relative to that produced by to albuterol MDI-HFA in at least 12 asthmatics with poor inhaler coordinating ability.

Conditions
Asthma
Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent change in SGaw (A measure of the change in specific airway conductance - how hard it is to get air into the lungs)

    Measured: Pre-dose and +120 minutes

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The area-under-the-effect curve of change in SGaw from basline over time

    Measured: Pre-dose and +120 minutes

  2. The maximum increase in SGaw from baseline over two hours

    Measured: Baseline through +120 minutes

  3. Time in hours to the maximum increase in SGaw from baseline

    Measured: Baseline through +120 minutes post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Albuterol HFA-BOI and Albuterol HFA-MDI in people with Asthma, run by Teva Branded Pharmaceutical Products R&D, Inc. at 1 site 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Nov 2021. 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 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?

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?

Percent change in SGaw (A measure of the change in specific airway conductance - how hard it is to get air into the lungs) (time frame: Pre-dose and +120 minutes). 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 NCT00054964, 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 30 Nov 2021.
