About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Open-label Four-way Crossover Study to Evaluate Pharmacokinetics of Salmeterol (Serevent®) After Inhalation of a 25 μg and 50 μg Single Dose (Metered Dose Inhaler) and a 50 μg and 100 μg Single Dose (Diskus®) in Healthy Male Volunteers

  1. To compare the systemic drug exposure of 100 μg Serevent ® Diskus ® with that of 50 μg Serevent ® MDI with sufficient precision so that in combination with a second trial it can be demonstrated that the systemic drug exposure of a new formulation of salmeterol xinafoate is not superior to that of Serevent ® MDI
  2. To test a system of ordered null hypotheses regarding the exposure of two dose levels of Serevent ® Diskus ® and Serevent ® MDI
  3. To get data about the systemic drug exposure of 25 μg Serevent ® MDI and of 50 μg Serevent ® Diskus ®

What is being measured

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

  1. AUC0-∞ (area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity)

    Measured: Up to 6 hours after drug administration

  2. Cmax (maximum measured concentration of the analyte in plasma)

    Measured: Up to 6 hours after drug administration

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. AUC0-tz (area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the time of the last quantifiable data point)

    Measured: Up to 6 hours after drug administration

  2. AUCt1-t2 (Area under the concentration time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval t1 to t2)

    Measured: Up to 6 hours after inhalation

  3. tmax (time from dosing to the maximum concentration of the analyte in plasma)

    Measured: Up to 6 hours after drug administration

  4. λz (terminal rate constant in plasma)

    Measured: Up to 6 hours after drug administration

  5. t½ (terminal half-life of the analyte in plasma)

    Measured: Up to 6 hours after drug administration

  6. MRTinh (mean residence time of the analyte in the body after inhalational administration)

    Measured: Up to 6 hours after drug administration

  7. CL/F (apparent clearance of the analyte in the plasma after extravascular administration)

    Measured: Up to 6 hours after drug administration

  8. Vz/F (apparent volume of distribution during the terminal phase λz following an extravascular dose)

    Measured: Up to 6 hours after drug administration

  9. Aet1-t2 (amount of analyte that was eliminated in urine from the time interval t1 to t2)

    Measured: Up to 6 hours after inhalation

  10. fet1-t2 (fraction of administered drug excreted unchanged in urine from time point t1 to t2)

    Measured: Up to 6 hours after inhalation

  11. CLR,t1-t2 (renal clearance of the analyte in plasma from the time point t1 to t2)

    Measured: Up to 6 hours after inhalation

  12. Number of participants with abnormal findings in physical examination

    Measured: Up to 15 days after last drug administration

  13. Number of participants with clinically significant changes in vital signs

    Measured: Up to 15 days after last drug administration

  14. Number of participants with abnormal findings in ECG

    Measured: Up to 15 days after last drug administration

  15. Number of participants with abnormal changes in clinical laboratory parameters

    Measured: Up to 15 days after last drug administration

  16. Number of participants with adverse events

    Measured: Up to 15 days after last drug administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Salmeterol Diskus low, Salmeterol Diskus high and Salmeterol MDI low in people with Healthy, 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 5 inclusion and 24 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 1 Oct 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 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?

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?

AUC0-∞ (area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity) (time frame: Up to 6 hours after drug administration). The study lists 2 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 1 Oct 2014.
