About this study

Official title: A Double Blind, Double Dummy, Randomized, Two Way Cross-over Study to Compare the Effects of Seretide® Evohaler (Supplied by Allen & Hanburys, UK) and a Generic Salmeterol/Fluticasone HFA pMDI (Manufactured by Cipla Ltd, India) on Functional Respiratory Imaging Parameters in Asthmatic Patients.

This study will be conducted as a randomized, double blind, double dummy two period crossover study in stable asthma patients. A total of 16 stable asthma patients treated in accordance with the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) guidelines, will be included.

Objectives:

  • The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of both the study drugs under investigation on Functional Respiratory Imaging (FRI) parameters and to evaluate the particle deposition in the lungs using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD)
  • The secondary objectives are to assess the effect of both the study drugs on lung function (spirometry and body plethysmography), on exercise capacity (6 Minutes Walking Test = 6MWT) and on dyspnea (Borg Category (C) Ratio (R) 10 Scale and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) dyspnea). Furthermore the safety of the 2 products under investigation will be evaluated through monitoring of adverse events (AEs) throughout the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Functional Respiratory Imaging, Salmeterol xinafoate and Fluticasone propionate HFA pMDI and Seretide Evohaler in people with Asthma, run by FLUIDDA nv at 1 site in Belgium.

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 8 inclusion and 13 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 19 Sep 2013. 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 Belgium. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Total airway volume (time frame: At visit 2 (= 7-11 days after visit 1)). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01795664, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Sep 2013.
