What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Ciprofloxacin (PulmoSphere, BAYQ3939)Drug

    32.5 mg ciprofloxacin betaine corresponding to 50 mg Ciprofloxacin PulmoSphere inhalation powder will be given as an initial single-dose inhalation (day 0).During the multiple-dose phase (day 2 to day 11), the same dose will be given twice daily, with a concluding single dose (on day 12)

  • Ciprofloxacin (PulmoSphere, BAYQ3939)Drug

    48,75 mg ciprofloxacin betaine corresponding to 75 mg Ciprofloxacin PulmoSphere inhalation powder will be given as an initial single-dose inhalation (day 0).During the multiple-dose phase (day 2 to day 11), the same dose will be given twice daily, with a concluding single dose (on day 12)

  • PlaceboDrug

    Placebo inhalation powder will be given as an initial single-dose inhalation (day 0).During the multiple-dose phase (day 2 to day 11), placebo will be given twice daily, with a concluding single dose (on day 12)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ciprofloxacin (PulmoSphere, BAYQ3939) in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by Bayer 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 6 inclusion and 16 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 1 Apr 2014. 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. 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 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?

Vital signs (time frame: Within 28 days after first treatment). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Apr 2014.
