About this study

Study is looking at the development of tolerance to methacholine following regular use of ipratropium bromide in mild asthmatics.

Read the detailed description

This study is being conducted people with well controlled (mild) asthma to determine if ipratropium bromide taken three times daily for six days (i.e. 2 puffs in the morning, 2 puffs in the afternoon and 2 puffs in the evening) followed by a final dose on the morning of day 7 reduces the effectiveness of this medication on blocking the effect of methacholine challenge.

What is being measured

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

  1. Methacholine PD20

    dose of methacholine required to induce a 20% fall in FEV1 (volume of air forcefully exhaled in one second)

    Measured: Pre treatment

  2. Methacholine PD20

    dose of methacholine required to induce a 20% fall in FEV1 (volume of air forcefully exhaled in one second)

    Measured: Day 7 after starting treatment

  3. Methacholine PD20

    dose of methacholine required to induce a 20% fall in FEV1 (volume of air forcefully exhaled in one second)

    Measured: 24 hours after last dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ipratropium Metered Dose Inhaler in people with Asthma, run by University of Saskatchewan at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 26 Mar 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 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 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?

Methacholine PD20 (time frame: Pre treatment). The study lists 3 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 26 Mar 2020.
