About this study

Official title: A Study to Determine the Reliability of a Top Mount Actuation Indicator When Used With Levalbuterol Tartrate HFA MDI in Adult and Pediatric Subjects With Asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

This is a study to investigate the reliability, ruggedness and safety of the top mounted actuation indicator (TMAI) when used with Levalbuterol HFA MDI.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, multicenter, TMAI study with Levalbuterol HFA MDI in adult and pediatric subjects with asthma or COPD. Period I: One week, open-label, run-in period during which subjects must have asthma or COPD symptoms requiring use of, as needed, Levalbuterol HFA MDI(without TMAI) on at least half of the days [4-12 actuations on a single day]. Period II: Nine week, open-label period during which subjects will use the Levalbuterol HFA MDI with TMAI PRN. The total study duration for a subject will not exceed 10 weeks. This study was previously posted by Sepracor Inc. In October 2009, Sepracor Inc. was acquired by Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma., and in October 2010, Sepracor Inc's name was changed to Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Levalbuterol HFA MDI with top mounted actuation indicator in people with Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Sumitomo Pharma America, Inc. at 26 sites 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 7 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 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 26 sites 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 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?

The difference between the number of actuations estimated via canister weight and the number of actuations recorded byt eh TMAI. (time frame: 10 weeks). 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 22 Feb 2012.
