What is being measured

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

  1. Change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) area under the curve from 0 to 12 hours [AUC(0-12)] from test day baseline across the three doses of inhaled PT005 compared with placebo.

    Measured: Serial FEV1 measured over 12 hours

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Time to onset of action (>10% improvement in FEV1 from baseline)

    Measured: Serial FEV1 measured over 12 hours

  2. Peak FEV1

    Measured: Serial FEV1 measured over 12 hours

  3. Trough FEV1

    Measured: Serial FEV1 measured over 12 hours

  4. Peak inspiratory capacity (IC)

    Measured: Serial IC measured over 12 hours

  5. Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR)

    Measured: Serial PEFR measured over 12 hours

  6. Forced vital capacity (FVC)

    Measured: Serial FVC measured over 12 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Inhaled PT005 and Formoterol Fumarate 12 mcg (Foradil Aerolizer) in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Pearl Therapeutics, Inc. at 5 sites in 2 countries.

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 9 inclusion and 27 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 Oct 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Australia, New Zealand. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

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?

Change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) area under the curve from 0 to 12 hours [AUC(0-12)] from test day baseline across the three doses of inhaled PT005 compared with placebo. (time frame: Serial FEV1 measured over 12 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00880490, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Oct 2010.
