What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 s (FEV-1) over 12 weeks recorded in electronic diary. Discontinuation due to lack of efficacy

    Measured: Week 0 and 12 visits

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Other pulmonary function tests including forced vital capacity (FVC) and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR).

    Measured: Whole duration of study

  2. Clinical endpoints (frequency of asthma exacerbations and patient data captured in diary including daily morning and evening PEFR).

    Measured: Whole duration of study

  3. Safety variables including adverse events, ECGs, clinical laboratory tests and vital signs.

    Measured: Whole duration of study

  4. Serial 12-hour FEV-1 area under the curve (AUC).

    Measured: Week 0, 2 and 12 visits

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Fluticasone propionate/formoterol fumarate 100/10, Fluticasone propionate 100 and Formoterol fumarate 10 in people with Asthma, run by SkyePharma AG at 57 sites in 2 countries.

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 9 inclusion and 12 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 23 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 57 sites in United States, 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Change in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 s (FEV-1) over 12 weeks recorded in electronic diary. Discontinuation due to lack of efficacy (time frame: Week 0 and 12 visits). 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 NCT00393991, 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 23 Jun 2011.
