About this study

This study aims to examine the clinical efficacy of synatura in patients with chronic bronchitis type COPD in Korea.

Read the detailed description

Synatura® is a drug commonly used to suppress cough and sputum in patients with acute upper respiratory tract infection and chronic inflammatory bronchitis. According to the Phase III studies conducted in Korea, the safety and efficacy of Synatura® on antitussive and expectorant effects were confirmed in patients with acute upper respiratory infection and chronic inflammatory bronchitis. However, no studies have been conducted for the effects of Synatura® in patients with COPD. COPD is divided into emphysema type and chronic bronchitis type, while typical clinical symptoms of chronic bronchitis are cough and sputum. Therefore, Synatura®, which is effective for chronic bronchitis, is expected to be effective in patients with chronic bronchitis accompanied by COPD.

What is being measured

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

  1. COPD assessment test (CAT)

    Change from Baseline in baseline to 12 weeks for COPD assessment test (CAT)

    Measured: Baseline, At 12weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Efficacy of pulmonary function in bronchitis type COPD patients

    Pulmonary function test will be performed before and 3 months after taking Synatura.

    Assessment Tools: FVC (L), FVC (%), FEV1 (L), FEV1 (%), FEV1/FVC (%), TLC (%), RV (%), RV/TLC (%), DLCO (%), DLCO/VA (%)

    Measured: Baseline, At 12weeks

  2. Efficacy of inflammation throughout the body in bronchitis type COPD patients

    Blood samples will be taken before and 3 months after taking Synatura, then stored and measured by ELISA in the laboratory.

    Assessment Tools: CRP, Fibrinogen, IL-6, TNF-α

    Measured: Baseline, At 12weeks

  3. Total number of Bronchitis Severity Score (BSS)

    Bronchitis Severity Score (BSS) will be performed before and 3 months after taking Synatura

    The BSS measured cough, sputum, rales/ rhonchi, chest pain during coughing, and dyspnoea. Each of these features of acute bronchitis was scored by a welltrained doctor using a 5point Likert rating scale ranging from 0 to 4 (0 = absent, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = very severe)

    The overall BSS will be graded as mild (0-7), moderate (8-14), and severe (15,20).

    Measured: Baseline, At 12weeks

A Phase 4 study testing Synatura® 15 mL in people with Bronchitis, COPD, run by Ahn-Gook Pharmaceuticals Co.,Ltd at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 10 Aug 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 South Korea. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

COPD assessment test (CAT) (time frame: Baseline, At 12weeks). 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 10 Aug 2018.
