About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Multi-centre, Double-blind, Double Dummy Placebo Controlled Single-dose Cross-over Study to Demonstrate That 12 and 24 µg of Formoterol Delivered by Concept1 Has a Bronchodilator Efficacy Which is Equivalent to the Same Dose of Formoterol Delivered by Aerolizer in Adult Patients With Persistent Asthma

This study is designed to demonstrate that formoterol 12µg and 24µg delivered by a new inhalation device (Concept1) are equivalent to the corresponding dose of formoterol delivered by the Aerolizer device in terms of efficacy, in patients with persistent asthma.

What is being measured

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

  1. • Efficacy assessed by 12 hour Area Under the Curve (AUC) of FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 second, is a measure of how well the lungs are working)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. • Efficacy assessed by forced expiratory volume in 1 second at pre-dose, 15, 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11 and 12 hours post dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing formoterol in people with Asthma, run by Novartis at 4 sites in Germany.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 28 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Germany. 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?

• Efficacy assessed by 12 hour Area Under the Curve (AUC) of FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 second, is a measure of how well the lungs are working). 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 28 Mar 2017.
