About this study
Official title: An Open-Label, Single-dose, Randomized, Five-Period Cross-over to Compare Pharmacokinetics Profiles of Z7200 and Symbicort Turbohaler, With and Without Charcoal Blockade in Healthy Volunteers.
The primary objective was:
- to assess the bioequivalence of a single dose (two inhalations) of the test product compared to the reference product, with and without charcoal blockade.
The secondary objectives were:
- to assess the pharmacokinetic profile of budesonide and formoterol in plasma after a single dose (two inhalations) of the test product and the reference product, with and without charcoal blockade.
- to assess the safety and tolerability of the test product and the reference product, with and without charcoal blockade.
Read the detailed description
This was a single center, open label, randomized, five-period crossover, single-dose study in healthy volunteers aged 18 to 45 years. A total of 90 volunteers were enrolled, with 9 subjects in each of the 10 treatment sequences.
The study consisted of 5 treatment periods, each lasting approximately 48h, separated by a washout period of a minimum of 5 days. RS01 and/or Symbicort Turbohaler device use training was provided on Day -1 and Day 1 of each treatment period. Subjects were screened for eligibility to participate in the study -28 to -2 days prior to the first treatment period, and were randomized to one of 10 treatment sequencies containing the following 5 treatment arms on Day 1 of the first treatment period:
Treatment A: Z7200 without oral activated charcoal* Treatment B1: Symbicort 1 without oral activated charcoal* Treatment B2: Symbicort 2 without oral activated charcoal* Treatment C: Z7200 with oral activated charcoal Treatment D: Symbicort with oral activated charcoal
Subjects were admitted to the clinical unit at 8.00 on the morning of Day -1, and were dosed on the morning of Day 1 following an overnight fast (minimum of 8h). On Day 2, following collection of the 24-h PK blood sample, subjects were discharged.
- Subjects who received treatments A, B1 and B2 rinsed their mouth vigorously with 50 mL water for 3 to 5 sec immediately after the second inhalation.
** A charcoal blockade was used to prevent absorption from oropharyngeal and GI tract, in order to assess the pulmonary deposition of budesonide and formoterol, with periods performed without a charcoal blockade allowing the assessment of the total systemic exposure to the drug.

Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1)
FEV1 refers to the volume of air that an individual can exhale during a forced breath in 1 second.
Participants for the Treatment B are counted for both Symbicort 1 and Symbicort 2, together.
and Symbicort 2, together. Please note that, within the safety population, 90 subjects received Treatment B. This would mean that theorically 180 participants received Symbicort 1 and Symbicort 2, together.
But some subjects were excluded from the statistical analysis for various reasons so that the total number included in the statistical anlysis for treatment B is 174.
Measured: At 75 min (1.25 hours) post-dose
Change From Baseline in the Ratio of Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second to Forced Vital Capacity (FEV1/FVC)
FVC = Forced vital capacity. It is the full amount of air that can be exhaled with effort in a complete breath.
FEV1/FVC = Tiffenau-Pinelli Index. This parameter represents the measurement of the amount of air an individual can forcefully exhale from his/her lungs.
Participants for the Treatment B are counted for both Symbicort 1 and Symbicort 2, together.
Please note that, within the safety population, 90 subjects received Treatment B. This would mean that theorically 180 participants received Symbicort 1 and Symbicort 2, together.
But 6 subjects were excluded from the statistical analysis for various reasons so that the total number included in the statistical anlysis for treatment B is 174.
Measured: At 75 min (1.25 hours) post-dose
Change From Baseline in Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR)
PEFR is the highest rate at which gases can be expelled from the lungs via an open mouth. Its measurement is a simple procedure in which an individual takes a full inspiration and blows out as forcibly as possible into an instrument called a peak flow meter, which measures the maximal gas flow in an exhalation in liters per minute.
Participants for the Treatment B are counted for both Symbicort 1 and Symbicort 2, together.Please note that, within the safety population, 90 subjects received Treatment B. This would mean that theorically 180 participants received Symbicort 1 and Symbicort 2, together. But 6 subjects were excluded from the statistical analysis for various reasons so that the total number included in the statistical anlysis for treatment B is 174.
Measured: At 75 min (1.25 hours) post-dose

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The primary objective was:
- to assess the bioequivalence of a single dose (two inhalations) of the test product compared to the reference product, with and without charcoal blockade.
The secondary objectives were:
- to assess the pharmacokinetic profile of budesonide and formoterol in plasma after a single dose (two inhalations) of the test product and the reference product, with and without charcoal blockade.
- to assess the safety and tolerability of the test product and the reference product, with and without charcoal blockade.
Detailed description
This was a single center, open label, randomized, five-period crossover, single-dose study in healthy volunteers aged 18 to 45 years. A total of 90 volunteers were enrolled, with 9 subjects in each of the 10 treatment sequences.
The study consisted of 5 treatment periods, each lasting approximately 48h, separated by a washout period of a minimum of 5 days. RS01 and/or Symbicort Turbohaler device use training was provided on Day -1 and Day 1 of each treatment period. Subjects were screened for eligibility to participate in the study -28 to -2 days prior to the first treatment period, and were randomized to one of 10 treatment sequencies containing the following 5 treatment arms on Day 1 of the first treatment period:
Treatment A: Z7200 without oral activated charcoal* Treatment B1: Symbicort 1 without oral activated charcoal* Treatment B2: Symbicort 2 without oral activated charcoal* Treatment C: Z7200 with oral activated charcoal Treatment D: Symbicort with oral activated charcoal
Subjects were admitted to the clinical unit at 8.00 on the morning of Day -1, and were dosed on the morning of Day 1 following an overnight fast (minimum of 8h). On Day 2, following collection of the 24-h PK blood sample, subjects were discharged.
- Subjects who received treatments A, B1 and B2 rinsed their mouth vigorously with 50 mL water for 3 to 5 sec immediately after the second inhalation.
** A charcoal blockade was used to prevent absorption from oropharyngeal and GI tract, in order to assess the pulmonary deposition of budesonide and formoterol, with periods performed without a charcoal blockade allowing the assessment of the total systemic exposure to the drug.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Z7200 without oral activated charcoal, Symbicort Turbohaler without oral activated charcoal and Z7200 with oral activated charcoal in people with Asthma, run by Zambon SpA 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?
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 23 Feb 2022. 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Jan 2022). 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?
AUC0-t of Budesonide With and Without Charcoal Blockade (time frame: 0-24h (0, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, 360, 480, 600, 720, and 1440 min)). The study lists 4 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 23 Feb 2022.
