What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Percent Change in Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density (BMD) From the Averaged Baseline Value to the Endpoint of Treatment Time Point

    The averaged baseline value is the average of the two scan results prior to treatment. The endpoint of treatment time point is the average of the last two valid post baseline BMD scans during the treatment period carried forward.

    Measured: Baseline and up to ~ one year of treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Mean Percent Change in the Left Total Femur From the Averaged Baseline Value to the Averaged Value at the Endpoint of Treatment Time Point

    The averaged baseline value is the average of the two scan results prior to treatment. The endpoint of treatment time point is the average of the last two valid post baseline BMD scans during the treatment period carried forward.

    Measured: Baseline and up to ~ one year of treatment

  2. Mean Percent Change in the Femoral Neck BMD From the Averaged Baseline Value to the Averaged Value at the Endpoint of Treatment Time Point

    The averaged baseline value is the average of the two scan results prior to treatment. The endpoint of treatment time point is the average of the last two valid post baseline BMD scans during the treatment period carried forward.

    Measured: Baseline and up to ~ one year of treatment

  3. Summary of Change From Baseline to Endpoint in FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second).

    Mean percent change from Baseline (the last non-missing value prior to treatment) in pulmonary function test FEV1 from in-office visits and at Endpoint (last non-missing postbaseline value carried forward)

    Measured: Baseline and up to ~ one year of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing mometasone furoate dry powder inhaler, fluticasone propionate hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) and montelukast in people with Asthma, run by Organon and Co.

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 12 inclusion and 31 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 22 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 7 Mar 2011). 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?

Mean Percent Change in Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density (BMD) From the Averaged Baseline Value to the Endpoint of Treatment Time Point (time frame: Baseline and up to ~ one year of treatment). 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 NCT00394355, 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 22 May 2024.
