About this study

Official title: Effect of the Use of Salbutamol on the Mechanical Properties of the Respiratory System of Healthy Individuals, Smokers and COPD Patients

The aim of this study is to assess the bronchodilator response of salbutamol on respiratory mechanics of healthy individuals, smokers and COPD with varying degrees of airway obstruction.

Read the detailed description

Clinical evaluation will be conducted and anthropometric measurements, then the pulmonary function tests: forced oscillation technique (FOT), whole body plethysmography, spirometry and-administration of salbutamol aerosol for assessment of bronchodilator response. After 20 minutes, the individual will be evaluated again following the same sequence.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SalbutamolExperimentalShort-acting bronchodilator for use in humans released by the Ministry of Health, widely used worldwide for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Receives: Drug: Salbutamol sulphate

What is being measured

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

  1. Respiratory function test

    Evaluation of pulmonary mechanics before and after salbutamol (short-acting bronchodilator) in healthy individuals, smokers and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in stages: mild, moderate, severe and very severe according to GOLD criteria.

    Measured: two o'clock

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Salbutamol

    In the bronchodilator test will be used 400 micrograms of beta2-agonist short-acting. They will be asked to exhale slowly until they can no longer expel more air from the lungs. To place the inhaler with a spacer between the lips, pressing them well, but no bite. Shortly thereafter start to breathe through the mouth and will be released a jet of 100 micrograms of the bronchodilator. Then they will hold their breath for 10 seconds. 3 puffs are made with 1 minute interval between each application.

    Measured: twenty minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Salbutamol sulphate in people with Smoking and Airway Obstruction, run by Rio de Janeiro State University at 1 site in Brazil.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Agnaldo J Lopes, PhD (55+(21) 98536162, phel.lop@uol.com.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Respiratory function test (time frame: two o'clock). 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 2 Feb 2012.
