About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-blind, Active-controlled, Within-patient Trial Comparing the Effect of Single Doses of Nebulised Ipratropium 500µg, Salbutamol Sulphate 3mg, Salbutamol 6mg and the Combination Therapy Salbutamol Sulphate 3 mg Plus Ipratropium 500µg on Arterial Oxygen Saturation in Patients With Stable, Moderate to Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Study to compare the effects of nebulised salbutamol or ipratropium alone in patients with COPD with those of combined salbutamol and ipratropium nebuliser solution on arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) and to characterise patients with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) at risk of significant arterial oxygen desaturation following nebulised salbutamol.

Being tested
Ipratropium bromide 500 µg/salbutamol sulphate 3 mg, Ipratropium 500 µg, Salbutamol sulphate 3 mg, Salbutamol sulphate 6 mg

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the curve of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2)

    Measured: over 70 min observation period from each start of nebulisation

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Forced expiratory volume in the first second of expiration (FEV1)

    Measured: up to 60 min after end of nebulisation

  2. Relaxed (expiratory) vital capacity (VC)

    Measured: up to 60 min after end of nebulisation

  3. Forced (expiratory) vital capacity (FVC)

    Measured: up to 60 min after end of nebulisation

  4. Forced expiratory ratio (FER)

    Measured: up to 60 min after end of nebulisation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ipratropium bromide 500 µg/salbutamol sulphate 3 mg, Ipratropium 500 µg and Salbutamol sulphate 3 mg in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by Boehringer Ingelheim.

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 9 inclusion and 18 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 8 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Area under the curve of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) (time frame: over 70 min observation period from each start of nebulisation). 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 8 Jul 2014.
