About this study

Official title: Investigation on the Cardiovascular and Pharmacokinetic Interaction Between Oral Roflumilast and Inhaled Formoterol in Healthy Subjects

This Phase I, open, randomized controlled, multiple-dose, parallel-group study investigated the potential pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic interactions between multiple doses of oral roflumilast and inhaled formoterol. Healthy male subjects were assigned to treatment A or treatment B. Subjects in treatment A received 500 μg/d roflumilast from day 2 to day 18 and 48 μg/d formoterol from day 12 to day 18. Subjects in treatment B received 48 μg/d formoterol from day 2 to day 18 and 500 μg/d roflumilast from day 9 to day 18. Impedance cardiography, ECG, serum potassium and glucose concentrations and effects on blood eosinophils assessed potential pharmacodynamic interactions. In addition, the safety and tolerability were evaluated. Pharmacokinetic parameters were assessed for roflumilast, roflumilast N-oxide, and formoterol.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Roflumilast in people with Healthy, run by AstraZeneca 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 2 Dec 2016. 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 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?

Potential cardiovascular interaction (exploratory). 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 NCT00940329, 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 2 Dec 2016.
