About this study

Official title: Heart Rate Lowering Efficacy and Respiratory Safety of Ivabradine in Patients With Obstructive Airway Disease

The purpose of this study is to investigate heart rate lowering efficacy and respiratory safety of ivabradine in patients with asthma and COPD.

Read the detailed description

In this double blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, 20 asthmatics and 20 COPD patients received ivabradine 7,5 mg b.i.d. and placebo for 5 days in crossover manner. HR in ECG holter monitoring, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), symptoms, rescue medication consumption and AEs were evaluated in both periods of treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Heart rate

    Difference in mean heart rate during ivabradine and placebo treatment

    Measured: Change from baseline in heart rate during 5-day ivabradine and 5-day placebo treatment (24-hour ECG monitoring on the 3rd day)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR)

    Difference in mean daily PEFR during ivabradine and placebo treatment

    Measured: Everyday measurement of morning and evening PEFR during 5-day ivabradine and 5-day placebo treatment

  2. Symptoms

    Difference in mean daily symptom score between ivabradine and placebo treatment

    Measured: Everyday symptom scoring during 5 day ivabradine and 5-day placebo treatment

  3. Rescue medication

    Difference in mean daily rescue medication use between ivabradine and placebo treatment

    Measured: Everyday rescue medication usage assessments during 5-day ivabradine and 5-day placebo treatment

  4. Number of participants with adverse events (AEs)

    Difference in number of participants with AEs between ivabradine and placebo treatment

    Measured: Number of patients with AEs evaluated throughout the study (5-day ivabradine and 5 day placebo treatment)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ivabradine (Procoralan) in people with Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by Medical University of Lodz at 1 site in Poland.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 12 Jun 2012. 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 Poland. 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?

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?

Heart rate (time frame: Change from baseline in heart rate during 5-day ivabradine and 5-day placebo treatment (24-hour ECG monitoring on the 3rd day)). 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 NCT01365286, which also lists 36 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 12 Jun 2012.
