Trial summary

Adequate administration of drugs via dry powder inhalers is dependent on adequate inspiratory flow rates and volumes. These vary according to the device being used and its resistance. The dry powder inhaler device under investigation is a device approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (ARTG no. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Inspiratory Flow Rates and Volumes in Subjects With Bronchiectasis Using Low and High Resistance Dry Powder Inhaler Devices

Adequate administration of drugs via dry powder inhalers is dependent on adequate inspiratory flow rates and volumes. These vary according to the device being used and its resistance. The dry powder inhaler device under investigation is a device approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (ARTG no. 196255) for use with dry powder mannitol. Dry powder mannitol is currently being investigated as a treatment for bronchiectasis. We wish to measure the inspiratory flow characteristics of both the low and high resistance devices amongst a group of subjects with bronchiectasis.

We propose that the majority of subjects investigated with varying lung function will achieve adequate flow during a controlled inspiration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bronchiectasis, run by Syntara at 1 site in Australia.

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 3 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 6 Aug 2008. 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 Australia. 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.

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?

inspiratory flow (time frame: single visit). 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 6 Aug 2008.
