Trial summary

The aim of this study is to establish the therapeutic equivalence between the test (Fluticasone/Salmeterol administered with Elpenhaler®db, Rolenium®) and the reference formulation (Seretide®, administered with Diskus®), both containing 250/50μg of the Fluticasone/Salmeterol combination.

About this study

Official title: Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, 3-way Crossover, Single Dose Study, Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Fluticasone/Salmeterol Administered With Elpenhaler Versus Seretide Diskus in Patients With Asthma

The aim of this study is to establish the therapeutic equivalence between the test (Fluticasone/Salmeterol administered with Elpenhaler®db, Rolenium®) and the reference formulation (Seretide®, administered with Diskus®), both containing 250/50μg of the Fluticasone/Salmeterol combination.

In case of inhaled products, it is not possible to follow the classic scheme, based on similarity of plasma concentration-time behavior of parent drug in assessing bioequivalence.

Read the detailed description

A pharmacodynamic study was designed in order to assess the therapeutic equivalence of the new formulation of Fluticasone/Salmeterol with the innovative one. The test and reference Fluticasone/Salmeterol formulations will be compared in terms of their bronchodilator effects in lung function. Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) will be the primary efficacy measure and will be measured in such a way that a similar time-dependent increase in pulmonary function can be demonstrated for both Fluticasone/Salmeterol formulations in patients with asthma. In terms of safety comparison, repeated measurements of adverse events, vital signs, heart rate, blood hematology and biochemistry as well as ECG changes will enable the establishment of the similar safety profile of the test and reference Fluticasone/Salmeterol combinations.

The study will be conducted in a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, 3x3 crossover fashion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing RP - TA in people with Asthma, run by Elpen Pharmaceutical Co. Inc..

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 7 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 10 Sep 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

FEV1 (time frame: 8 days). 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 10 Sep 2022.
