About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label, Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate Pharmacokinetics After Administration of Technosphere® Insulin Inhalation Powder Alone and With Salbutamol (Albuterol) and/or After Methacholine Challenge Testing in Subjects With Asthma Versus Matched Healthy Subjects Without Asthma

This study will compare the rate and extent of absorption of TI Inhalation Powder in subjects with asthma and subjects with normal lung function. 24 eligible subjects will be enrolled into the treatment phase of the trial.

Read the detailed description

Visit 1 screening will determine eligibility and obtain informed consent. At visit 2, 3 and 4 subjects inhale 1 dose of 45U TI Inhalation Powder. At visit 3 subjects inhale 2 puffs (200mcg) Albuterol prior to dosing. Only asthmatic subjects undergo visit 4 where a methacholine challenge test (MCT) is performed followed by inhalation of Albuterol then administration of TI Inhalation Powder. Each visit's dosing will occur during a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp. Visit 5 is the follow up visit.

Being tested
Technosphere Insulin Inhalation Powder, Salbutamol (Albuterol), Methacholine chloride

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Technosphere Insulin Inhalation Powder, Salbutamol (Albuterol) and Methacholine chloride in people with Asthma and Diabetes Mellitus, run by Mannkind Corporation at 2 sites in United Kingdom.

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 1 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 13 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United Kingdom. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

AUCF 0-360 min of serum insulin (time frame: 0-360 min). 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 13 Jun 2012.
