What participants receive

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

  • Aspirin 75mgDrug

    Subjects randomised to aspirin 75mg will receive 1 container containing aspirin 75mg and 1 container containing placebo for the morning and 2 containers containing placebo for the evening. Subjects will take one capsule from each container in the morning and one capsule from each container in the evening.

  • Lactose powderDrug

    Subjects randomised to placebo will receive 4 containers of placebo, 2 containers containing placebo for the morning and 2 containers containing placebo for the evening. Subjects will take one capsule from each container in the morning and one capsule from each container in the evening.

  • Aspirin 1200mgDrug

    Subjects randomised to aspirin 600mg 12 hourly will receive 2 containers of aspirin 300mg each for the morning and 2 containers of aspirin 300mg each for the evening. Subjects will take one capsule from each container in the morning and one capsule from each container in the evening.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Aspirin 75mg, Lactose powder and Aspirin 1200mg in people with Acute Lung Injury, run by Belfast Health and Social Care Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 10 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 Sep 2022. 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 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?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Bronchoalveolar lavage IL-8 concentration (time frame: 6 hrs after LPS inhalation). 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 NCT01659307, which also lists 3 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 Sep 2022.
