About this study

Official title: A 12-week, Multinational, Randomised, Double Blind, Double Dummy, 4-arm Parallel-group Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of CHF 1535 (Fixed Combination of Beclomethasone Dipropionate + Formoterol Fumarate) 100 + 6 μg/Actuation Inhalation Powder, Administered Via the NEXT Inhaler, Versus CHF 1535 (Fixed Combination of Beclomethasone Dipropionate + Formoterol Fumarate) 100 + 6 μg/Actuation, Via HFA Pressurised Inhalation Solution, in Moderate to Severe Symptomatic Asthmatic Patients Aged ≥ 12 Years Under Treatment With Inhaled Corticosteroids

To demonstrate that CHF 1535 via NEXT DPI (beclomethasone dipropionate + formoterol fumarate 100 + 6 μg), 1 inhalation or 2 inhalations twice daily, for 12 weeks is non-inferior to the corresponding dose of CHF 1535 via HFA-134a "extrafine" pMDI in terms of pulmonary function in moderate to severe symptomatic asthmatic patients aged ≥ 12 years under treatment with inhaled corticosteroids

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing BDP/Formoterol Next DPI and Foster in people with Asthma, run by Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A. at 1 site 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 11 inclusion and 14 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 Apr 2018. 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 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 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?

Change from baseline measured at clinic to the end of treatment period in pre-dose morning FEV1 (L) measured at clinic (time frame: 3 month period). 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 Apr 2018.
