About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Single and Multiple Ascending Doses of ASM-024 Administered by Dry Powder Inhalation to Healthy Subjects and Subjects With Stable Moderate Asthma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the dry powder formulation of ASM-024 following single and multiple administration by inhalation of ascending doses in healthy subjects and subjects with stable moderate asthma.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase I/II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of single ascending and multiple ascending doses of ASM-024 administered by dry powder inhalation to healthy subjects and subjects with stable moderate asthma. The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile of a new, dry powder formulation of ASM-024. The doses that will be tested in subjects with asthma will be determined based on the information collected first in healthy volunteers. In addition to standard safety and tolerability evaluations, the acute effects of the study medication on the airways will be assessed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ASM-024 in people with Asthma, run by Asmacure Ltée at 2 sites in Canada.

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 10 inclusion and 34 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Feb 2015. 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 Canada. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Lack of efficacy). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

adverse events, spirometry (time frame: up to 7 days). 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 10 Feb 2015.
