About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Single Blind, 3-Period, 3-Treatment, Single-dose, Crossover Study to Assess the Relative Bioavailability of BGF Propellant 1 and BGF Propellant 2 Compared With BGF MDI HFA in Healthy Subjects

The study will evaluate bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of budesonide, glycopyrronium and formoterol (BGF) metered dose inhaler (MDI) formulated with 3 different propellants: Propellant 1 (Treatment A [test]), Propellant 2 (Treatment B [test]) and Hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) (Treatment C [reference]).

Read the detailed description

The study will comprise:

  • Screening period: up to 28 days prior to first dosing;
  • Three treatment periods of maximum 3 days each: participants will be resident from the morning of the day before the first dosing with BGF MDI (Day -1) in Treatment Period 1, throughout all treatment and washout periods up to discharge on Day 2 of Treatment Period 3;
  • Follow-up: within 3 to 7 days after the last administration of BGF MDI. There will be a washout period of 3 to 7 days between each dose.

Each participant will receive 3 single-dose treatments of BGF MDI (1 dose Propellant 1 [Treatment A]; 1 dose Propellant 2 [Treatment B] and 1 dose HFA [Treatment C]), following an overnight fast of at least 8 hours. Each participant will be involved in the study for up to 53 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Treatment A, Treatment B and Treatment C in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by AstraZeneca at 1 site 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 5 inclusion and 35 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 23 Jan 2023. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Jan 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of BGF MDI (time frame: Pre-dose and 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 45 minutes post-dose and 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-dose). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04600505, 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 23 Jan 2023.
