About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open Label, Single-center, Single-dose, Four-period Crossover Clinical Trial to Assess the PK Profile and Safety of Budesonide Inhalation Solution AQ001S Compared to Budesonide Inhalation Suspension in Healthy Volunteers

This is a randomized, open label, single-center, single-dose, four-period crossover clinical study to assess the pharmacokinetic profile and safety of a budesonide inhalation solution (AQ001S) compared to a budesonide inhalation suspension (comparator) in healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, open label, single-center, single-dose, four-period crossover clinical study to assess the pharmacokinetic profile and safety of a budesonide inhalation solution (AQ001S) compared to a budesonide inhalation suspension (comparator) in healthy volunteers. Three (3) different AQ001S concentrations (i.e. 0.125 mg/2 mL, 0.250 mg/2mL and 0.500 mg/2 mL) will be compared to budesonide inhalation suspension 1.0 mg/2 ml.

Twenty (20) male and female healthy volunteers, from 18 to 60 years old, must complete the study. The study drug will be administered by nebulization.

The primary PK objective is to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of AQ001S inhalation solution.

The primary safety objective is to assess the safety of AQ001S inhalation solution.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Budesonide Inhalant Product in people with Pharmacokinetics, run by Aquilon Pharmaceuticals S.A. at 1 site in Bulgaria.

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 10 inclusion and 20 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 3 Nov 2022. 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 Bulgaria. 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?

Assessment of pharmacokinetics (Cmax) of budesonide through analysis of blood samples (time frame: Day 1 (predose) and at 2', 5', 10', 15', 20', 30', 45', 60', 90', 120', 180', 240', 360', 10h, 18h and 24h postdose). The study lists 16 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 3 Nov 2022.
