About this study

Official title: An Open, Randomised, Parallel Group Multi-centre, Methodology Study, Evaluating the Sensitivity of Oxygen-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (OE-MRI) in Detecting and Comparing Response to 8 Weeks Treatment With Budesonide/Formoterol Turbuhaler® (320/9 µg Bid) and Formoterol Turbuhaler® (9 µg Bid) in Patients With Moderate to Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity of a new oxygen enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (OE-MRI) method in detecting changes in the lungs of patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) following treatment with either Oxis Turbuhaler or Symbicort Turbuhaler.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Formoterol Turbuhaler and Budesonide/Formoterol Turbuhaler in people with COPD Method Evaluation and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Method Evaluation, run by AstraZeneca at 2 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Sep 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Sweden, United Kingdom. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Oxygen enhanced MRI V4 (time frame: Visit 4). The study lists 3 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 3 Sep 2012.
