About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-Blinded, Double-Dummy, Placebo-Controlled, MultiCentre-, Six-Way, Crossover Study to Assess the Pharmacodynamics, Pharmacokinetics, and Safety of Abediterol Single Dose, Given by Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) or Pressurised Metered-Dose Inhaler (pMDI), in Patients With Asthma on Inhaled Corticosteroids.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the pharmacodynamics of single doses of abediterol given by 2 different devices in participants with asthma. Abediterol (AZD0548) is a potential for once daily treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in fixed dose combination (FDC) with an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) or a novel anti-inflammatory agent. The aim of the clinical studies is to enable further investigations in participants with asthma and COPD to evaluate and develop abediterol as an effective long acting bronchodilator with an acceptable safety profile compared to other inhaled bronchodilators on the market, for the treatment of asthma and COPD.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomised, double-blinded, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, multi-centre, six-way William's design, crossover study to assess the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and safety of abediterol single dose, given by dry powder inhaler or pressurised metered-dose inhaler, in patients with asthma, on inhaled corticosteroids. During the screening period, all patients will take their own baseline inhaled corticosteroid for 2 weeks. Patients on long-acting β2-agonist/ inhaled corticosteroids will be switched over to the respective inhaled corticosteroid monocomponent. Patients will be provided salbutamol as rescue medication for use throughout the study. Abediterol is an investigational product in early stages of clinical development, therefore individual participants in the clinical studies may not have a clinical benefit, especially in view of alternative therapies (bronchodilators) being available for the treatment of asthma and COPD.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1).

    Baseline for FEV1 was defined as the mean of the two measured values for the corresponding variable (2 measurements 30 min apart, at -45 min and -15 min), prior to the morning investigational product (IP) administration on Day 1 of each treatment period. If both were missing the screening value was used instead.

    Trough is defined as the mean of the FEV1 values obtained at 23 h and 24 h after the morning IP administration. If one of the values was missing, the other one was used as trough.

    Measured: 45 mins and 15 mins pre-dose, and 23.00-24.00 h post-dose on Day 1

Secondary outcomes (23)

    Measured: Predose and 5 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h and 6 h post-dose on Day 1

  6. Terminal Half-life (h) of Abediterol (t½λz)

    Terminal half-life (h), estimated as (ln2)/λz (t1/2λz).

    Measured: Pre-dose, 5, 15, 30, and 45 minutes, at 1, 2.5, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 36 hours after IP administration on Day 1.

  7. AUClast of Abediterol

    Area under the plasma concentration-curve of Abediterol from time zero to the time of last quantifiable analyte concentration.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 5, 15, 30, and 45 minutes, at 1, 2.5, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 36 hours after IP administration on Day 1.

  8. AUC of Abediterol.

    Area under the Abediterol concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinity (AUC). AUC is estimated by AUClast + Clast/λz where Clast is the last observed quantifiable concentration (AUC).

    PK blood samples were collected 5, 15, 30, and 45 minutes, at 1, 2.5, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 36 hours after IP administration on Day 1 (Note that 24 h and 36 h time-points post-dose correspond to Day 2).

  12. Number of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Event

    All treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), including serious AEs. An AE is the development of an undesirable medical condition or the deterioration of a preexisting medical condition following or during exposure to a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered causally related to the product. An AE was considered a TEAE if it was not present prior to the date of the first dose of IP or was present prior to the date of the first dose of IP, but increased in severity after IP administration.

    Measured: From screening (Day -14) up to follow-up phone call (14 days after last IP administration).

  13. Number of Participants With Post-baseline Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Electrocardiogram (ECG) Parameters

    Standard 12-lead ECG evaluations were performed prior to IP administration and 1, 4 and 24 h post IP administration at randomisation and after each IP administration. ECGs were recorded after approximately 5 minutes resting in supine position before any blood sampling and spirometry test, preferably always by the same technician for each patient.

    Clinically significant abnormalities were defined as listed in the table below for QT interval, QTcB, QTcF, QRS interval, PR interval and heart rate (HR).

    BL incr. = increase from baseline.

    The percentage of patients achieving at least 200 mL and 12% increase from baseline in trough forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). Trough was defined as the mean of the FEV1 values obtained at 23 hours and 24 hours after the morning IP administration.

    Measured: Predose and 5 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h and 6 h post-dose on Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Abediterol 0.156 μg, Abediterol 2.5 μg and Abediterol 0.05 μg in people with Asthma, run by AstraZeneca at 4 sites in Germany.

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 11 inclusion and 28 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 24 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Germany. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 24 Jan 2019). 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?

Change From Baseline in Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1). (time frame: 45 mins and 15 mins pre-dose, and 23.00-24.00 h post-dose on Day 1). 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 24 Jan 2019.
