About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-label, Crossover Trial to Compare the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of Single Doses of VR647 Inhalation Suspension Delivered by the VR647 Inhalation System (VR647) With Single Doses of Budesonide Delivered by a Conventional Jet Nebulizer in Healthy Adult Volunteers and Adult Asthma Subjects

This is a three part, randomized, open-label, crossover, Phase 1 trial in adults. Parts 1 and 2 will enroll healthy male and female subjects. Part 3 will enroll subjects with mild asthma. This study will assess the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of single doses of budesonide delivered by VR647 Inhalation System (AKITA® JET) with mouthpiece or face mask to single doses of budesonide delivered by a conventional jet nebulizer (PARI VIOS®) with mouthpiece or face mask.

Read the detailed description

For all parts of the study, subjects in the VR647 group will receive VR647 Inhalation Suspension delivered by the VR647 Inhalation System (AKITA JET) with either a mouthpiece or a facemask. Similarly, for all parts of the study, subjects in the comparator group will receive approved doses of budesonide (Pulmicort Respules®) delivered by a conventional jet nebulizer (PARI VIOS) with either a mouthpiece or a facemask.

Part 1:

Subjects who fulfill the enrollment criteria will progress to a comparative single dose, 6-treatment, 6-period crossover trial. Subjects will receive 4 dose levels of VR647 Inhalation Suspension delivered by the VR647 Inhalation System (AKITA JET) (5, 10, 15 and 25 breaths, with targeted doses of 30, 60, 120 and 240 µg) and 2 dose levels of budesonide delivered by a conventional jet nebulizer (PARI VIOS) (0.5 and 1 mg). There will be a Washout Period between each dose of approximately 48 hours. Each subject will be randomized to treatment.

Part 2:

Following an approximate 7-day washout, the same cohort of subjects from Part 1 will progress to a comparative single dose, 6-treatment, 6-period crossover trial. There will be a Washout Period between each dose of approximately 48 hours. Each subject will be randomized to treatment in a 6-way crossover.

Part 3:

Subjects with mild asthma who fulfill the enrollment criteria (including those criteria specific to Part 3) will progress to a comparative single dose, 4-treatment, 4-period crossover trial conducted at a separate clinic from Parts 1 and 2. There will be a Washout Period between each dose of approximately 48 hours. This part of the trial can start before completion of Parts 1 and 2.

Model description
This is a three part, randomized, open-label, crossover, Phase 1 trial in adults. Parts 1 and 2 are comparative single dose, 6-treatment, 6-period crossover trials with a mouthpiece or facemask, respectively, in healthy adults. Subjects will receive 4 dose levels of VR647 Inhalation Suspension delivered by the VR647 Inhalation System (AKITA JET) (5, 10, 15 and 25 breaths, with a targeted doses of 30, 60 120 and 240 µg) and 2 dose levels of budesonide delivered by conventional jet nebulizer (PARI VIOS) (0.5 and 1 mg). Part 3 is a comparative single dose, 4-treatment, 4-period crossover trial in subjects with mild asthma. Subjects will receive doses of VR647 Inhalation Suspension (15 breaths, with a targeted dose of 120 µg) delivered by the VR647 Inhalation System (AKITA JET) with facemask or mouthpiece and budesonide (0.5 mg) delivered by conventional jet nebulizer (PARI VIOS) with facemask or mouthpiece.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing VR647 Inhalation Suspension (budesonide) 1 mg/2 mL delivered by the VR647 Inhalation System (AKITA JET) with mouthpiece, VR647 Inhalation Suspension (budesonide) 1 mg/2 mL delivered by the VR647 Inhalation System (AKITA JET) with facemask and 1 mg/2 mL Pulmicort Respules delivered by a conventional jet nebulizer (PARI VIOS) with mouthpiece in people with Asthma, run by Vectura Limited at 2 sites 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 14 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 25 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

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?

AUClast (area under the plasma concentration-time curve, from time 0 to the time of the last measurable concentration). (time frame: pre-dose and at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 minutes, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours after start of nebulization for Parts 1, 2 and 3). The study lists 5 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 25 Jul 2019.
