  • Clinical relevant abnormal baseline hematology, blood chemistry or urinalysis. If the abnormality defines a disease listed as an exclusion criterion, the patient is excluded

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with clinically significant changes in electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters (ventricular rate, PQ, QRS, QT and QTc intervals)

    Measured: Baseline, up to 8 days after last treatment day

  2. Number of patients with clinically significant changes in vital signs (blood pressure, puls rate, respiratory rate)

    Measured: Baseline, up to 8 days after last treatment day

  3. Changes in intra ocular pressure (IOP)

    Measured: Baseline, up to 30 min after last drug administration

  4. Changes in serum potassium levels

    Measured: Baseline, up to 180 min after last drug administration

  5. Changes in serum glucose levels

    Measured: Baseline, up to 60 min after last drug administration

  6. Number of patients with clinically significant changes from baseline in clinical laboratory evaluations

    Measured: Baseline, 8 days after last treatment day

  7. Number of patients with adverse events including paradoxical bronchospasm

    Measured: Up to 8 days after last treatment day

  8. Number of patients with clinically significant changes from baseline in physical examination

    Measured: Baseline, 8 days after last treatment day

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in one second)

    Measured: Baseline, up to 180 min after last drug administration

  2. Change in FVC (forced vital capacity)

    Measured: Baseline, up to 180 min after last drug administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Combivent® HFA inhalation aerosol and Combivent® CFC inhalation aerosol 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 7 inclusion and 33 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 31 Aug 2018. 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 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. 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?

Number of patients with clinically significant changes in electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters (ventricular rate, PQ, QRS, QT and QTc intervals) (time frame: Baseline, up to 8 days after last treatment day). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 31 Aug 2018.
