About this study

Official title: A Novel Non-invasive Way to Measure Airway Epithelial Permeability in Human Subjects

This is a clinical trial designed to test the hypothesis that measuring the absorption and excretion of inhaled mannitol will provide a clinically useful marker of airway epithelial permeability in asthma.

Read the detailed description

A cohort of subjects with asthma and healthy controls will be exposed to inhaled mannitol according to FDA approved protocols for bronchoprovocation. Mannitol will be measured in the bloodstream and urine and used to determine an airway permeability index. This is a proof of concept study and not a trial of new therapeutics.

Being tested
Mannitol
Medical subject headings
Asthma, Hypersensitivity, Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, Lung Diseases, Obstructive

What participants receive

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

  • MannitolDrug

    Also called Aridol for bronchoprovocation

    Subjects will be challenged with inhaled mannitol according to already approved protocols.

What is being measured

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

  1. Airway permeability index (Urinary clearance of mannitol overtime)

    Urinary clearance of mannitol overtime

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Absorption of mannitol (Absorption and clearance of mannitol from the bloodstream)

    Absorption and clearance of mannitol from the bloodstream

    Measured: 6 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Mannitol in people with Asthma and Allergy, run by University of Rochester 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 0 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 4 Jan 2018. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Airway permeability index (Urinary clearance of mannitol overtime) (time frame: 24 hours). 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 4 Jan 2018.
