Trial summary

The purposes of the present proposal are to 1) compare inhaled albuterol-induced changes in airway blood flow (Qaw), and in CO and Ppas in healthy current smokers and lifetime non-smokers as an index of endothelial function in the airway and pulmonary circulations, 2) compare the results between smokers and… Read more about this study

About this study

The purposes of the present proposal are to 1) compare inhaled albuterol-induced changes in airway blood flow (Qaw), and in CO and Ppas in healthy current smokers and lifetime non-smokers as an index of endothelial function in the airway and pulmonary circulations, 2) compare the results between smokers and non-smokers, and 3) determine the effect of a 4-week treatment with an ICS on albuterol responsiveness of Qaw and the echocardiographic parameters. With this protocol the Investigators will test the hypotheses that a) there is a correlation between airway and pulmonary vascular endothelial function within the current smoker and non-smoker groups, and b) ICS treatment improves airway and pulmonary vascular endothelial function in the current smoker group.

With this protocol the Investigators will test the hypotheses that a) there is a correlation between airway and pulmonary vascular endothelial function within the current smoker and non-smoker groups, and b) ICS treatment improves airway and pulmonary vascular endothelial function in the current smoker group.

Fifteen healthy current smokers with a >10 pack-year history of smoking and 15 healthy never-smokers will be enrolled. Males and females between 25 and 75 years of age will be recruited There will be 1-4 visits to the laboratory (one for non-smokers, 4 for smokers). All subjects will have the first visit. Current smokers will have 3 additional visits. Current smokers will be asked not to smoke before coming to the laboratory on the 3 study days. All subjects will be instructed to abstain from ingesting alcoholic beverages, coffee or caffeinated drinks for at least 12 hours the night before each study day. The subjects will also be instructed not to use PDE5 inhibitors for 24 hours before coming to the laboratory. On each study day, the protocol will start at the same time (in the morning).

What participants receive

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

  • echocardiogram plus albuterolProcedure or surgery

    participants will performed echocardiogram before and 15 minutes after inhaled albuterol

  • airway blood flow plus albuterolProcedure or surgery

    Also called Qaw

    participants will performed echocardiogram before and 15 minutes after inhaled albuterol

  • Fluticasone propionateDrug

    participant will be received a 4-week course of inhaled fluticasone (220 μg fluticasone twice a day administered as a MDI using a spacer)

  • placeboDrug

    participant will be received a 4-week course of identically appearing placebo (2 puffs twice a day via spacer).

What is being measured

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

  1. Airway Blood Flow

    compare inhaled albuterol-induced changes in airway blood flow (ΔQaw) in healthy current smokers and lifetime non-smokers as an index of endothelial function in the airway circulation and to compare the results between smokers and non-smokers

    Measured: before and 15 minutes after albuterol inhalation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Echocardiogram

    to compare inhaled albuterol-induced changes in echocardiogram measuring mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP)in healthy current smokers and lifetime non-smokers as an index of endothelial function in the pulmonary circulation and to compare the results between smokers and non-smokers

    Measured: MPAP before and 15 minutes after albuterol inhalation in smokers vs non-smokers

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing echocardiogram plus albuterol, airway blood flow plus albuterol and Fluticasone propionate in people with Smoking, run by University of Miami at 1 site in United States.

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 7 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 16 Dec 2016. 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 States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Dec 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Airway Blood Flow (time frame: before and 15 minutes after albuterol inhalation). 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 16 Dec 2016.
