About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetic Study of Mablet as Oral Supplement and Magnesium Sulfate as Infusion

The present study is part of a project titled 'Magnesium in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease'. The hypothesis of the main project is that daily magnesium supplement will benefit patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The aim of this part of the project is to study the pharmacokinetics of the following two magnesium supplements:

  • Mablet (dietary supplement)
  • Magnesium Sulfate (solution for infusion)
Being tested
Mablet (Magnesium-supplement), Magnesium Sulfate
Keywords
Clearance, Half-life, Absorption fraction, Pharmacokinetics
Medical subject headings
Asthma, Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

What participants receive

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

  • Mablet (Magnesium-supplement)Dietary supplement

    Also called Mablet

    Mablet: Magnesium hydroxide/ -oxide (360 mg/tablet) 3 tablets as a single dose Produced by: Gunnar Kjems APS

  • Magnesium SulfateDrug

    Also called Magnesiumsulfat 'SAD'

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mablet (Magnesium-supplement) and Magnesium Sulfate in people with Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by University of Aarhus 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 1 inclusion and 4 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 Jan 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 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.

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?

Pharmacokinetic parameters (time frame: Two years). 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 NCT01113138, which also lists 13 linked publications.

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 Jan 2014.
