About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Randomized Parallel-Group Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Multiple-Dose Proof-of-Concept Study to Evaluate the Efficacy/Safety of Hyaluronic Acid Inhalation Solution for Treatment of Emphysema

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of administering repeated doses of Hyaluronic Acid Inhalation Solution to subjects with Emphysema that have Alpha-1-Antitrypsin deficiency

Read the detailed description

The study primarily aims to establish desmosine and isodesmosine concentrations in plasma, sputum and urine measured as markers of elastin degradation systemically in the lung and also markers of inflammation and fibrinogen. Assessment of vital signs, lab tests, carbon monoxide diffusing capacity, oxygen saturation, pulmonary function tests, ECGs, physical exams and adverse events.

Being tested
Hyaluronic Acid Inhalation Solution, Placebo Inhalation Solution
Keywords
Emphysema, COPD, Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Hyaluronic Acid Inhalation Solution in people with Emphysema and Alpha 1-Antitrypsin Deficiency, run by Gerard Turino at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 10 inclusion and 13 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 21 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States, Canada. 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 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 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?

Measurement of sputum, plasma and urine concentrations of desmosine and isodesmosine (time frame: 28 days). 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 21 Apr 2020.
