About this study

Official title: Phase II, Partial Blind, Randomized, Placebo Controlled, 5-way Cross-over Study to Evaluate the Pharmacodynamics of BDP(Beclomethasone Diproprionate)/B17MP (Beclomethasone-17-Monoproprionate) and FORMOTEROL FUMARATE (FF) Across Two Different Dose Levels of CHF 1535 NEXThaler DPI (Dry Powder Inhaler) and CHF 1535 pMDI (Pressurized Metered-dose Inhaler)in Adult COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pumonary Disease) Patients

The study aim is to compare the pharmacodynamic effects (cardiovascular effects- primary variable: Heart rate over 4 hours post dosing- ) after administration of BDP and formoterol administered as CHF 1535 100/6 NEXThaler DPI or CHF1535 pMDI at two different dose levels.

Read the detailed description

The effects of both formulations on serum potassium and serum glucose and the general safety and tolerability of study treatments will be also evaluated

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CHF 1535 NEXThaler 800/48, CHF 1535 NEXThaler 200/12 and CHF 1535 pMDI 200/12 in people with COPD, run by Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A. 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 5 inclusion and 20 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 29 Oct 2021. 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?

Average 4-hour Heart Rate bpm (beats per minutes) (time frame: 4 hours). 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 NCT02000609, 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 29 Oct 2021.
