About this study

Official title: Blood and Urinary Concentrations of Terbutaline in Asthmatics and Elite Athletes With Asthma: Comparison Between Inhalation vs. Oral Administration.

The purpose of this study is to assess the blood and urine concentrations of terbutaline and to evaluate the difference between inhaled and oral terbutaline in order to distinguish treatment with terbutaline from doping with terbutaline in a doping control.

Read the detailed description

To investigate the serum and urine concentrations of terbutaline and evaluate the difference between inhaled terbutaline (2 mg) and oral terbutaline (10 mg) in order to distinguish doping with terbutaline from anti-asthmatic treatment with terbutaline.

To investigate the above mentioned in three groups: healthy men, male asthmatic subjects and male elite athletes with asthma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing inhaled and oral terbutaline in people with Asthma, run by Bispebjerg Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 2009. 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 Denmark. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jimmi Elers½, MD (+45 35313208, jele0004@bbh.regionh.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Terbutaline concentrations in serum and urine (time frame: baseline, 4, 8, and 12 hours after medicine administration). 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 5 Jun 2009.
