About this study

Official title: Inspiratory Flow Parameters With Placebo Tiotropium Easyhaler® and Placebo Spiriva® Capsule Via HandiHaler® in Patients With COPD and in Healthy Volunteers. Substudy: Easyhaler® and HandiHaler® Usability Study in Patients With COPD

The study will characterise inspiratory flow parameters across placebo dry powder inhaler Easyhaler (2 inhaler versions) and placebo Spiriva inhalation powder capsule inhaled via HandiHaler in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and in healthy volunteers.

Substudy: Easyhaler® and HandiHaler® Usability study in patients with COPD; to assess patients acceptability, preference, correct use and ability to learn to use Easyhaler and HandiHaler (with capsules) and to compare PIF rate via In-Check Dial meter with the PIF rate via spirometer in the main study.

Read the detailed description

This is an open, randomised, multicentre, crossover study with Easyhaler and HandiHaler inhalers. The primary objective is to characterise inspiratory flow parameters across placebo dry powder inhaler Easyhaler (2 inhaler versions) and placebo Spiriva inhalation powder capsule inhaled via HandiHaler in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and in healthy volunteers. The secondary objective is to calculate correlation of peak inspiratory flow (PIF) rate with regards to anthropometric and lung function parameters.

Substudy: This is an open, randomised, multicentre, crossover study with Easyhaler and HandiHaler inhalers.There will be 1 study visit per subject, usually this visit is done at the same visit with the main study.

Being tested
Placebo Tiotropium inhalation powder type A, Placebo Spiriva capsule, Placebo Tiotropium inhalation powder type B, Substudy Placebo Tiotropium Easyhaler, Substudy Placebo Spiriva® via HandiHaler

Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary variable will be the PIF rate through the Easyhaler and HandiHaler inhalers.

    After practising, 3 inspiratory flow curves will be recorded and the inhalation with the highest PIF rate analysed.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Inspiratory volume through the Easyhaler and HandiHaler inhalers

    Highest inspiratory volume recorded and analysed from the same inhalation as the PIF rate.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Healthy Volunteer and COPD, run by Orion Corporation, Orion Pharma at 1 site in Estonia.

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 7 inclusion and 12 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 27 Jan 2020. 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 Estonia. 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.

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?

The primary variable will be the PIF rate through the Easyhaler and HandiHaler inhalers. (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04147572, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Jan 2020.
