About this study

Official title: Phase I Study to Compare the Pharmacokinetics of Budesonide and Formoterol Delivered With Symbicort Aerosphere® and Symbicort® pMDI in Children 4 to Less Than 12 Years of Age With Asthma

The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of symbicort aerosphere and symbicort pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI) in participants with asthma aged 4 to less than 12 years.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase I single-dose, 2-period cross-over, multicenter study in which the participants will be randomized 1:1 to one of two treatment sequences - AB or BA. In the first study period, participants will receive a single dose of either -

  1. Treatment A: Symbicort Aerosphere budesonide/formoterol fumarate × 2 puffs (test formulation)
  2. Treatment B: Symbicort pMDI budesonide/formoterol fumarate × 2 puffs (reference formulation)

After a washout period of at least 28 days and no longer than 42 days, participants who first received Treatment A will receive a single dose of Treatment B, and participants who first received Treatment B will receive a single dose of Treatment A in the study period 2.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Budesonide/formoterol fumarate Aerosphere and Budesonide/formoterol fumarate pMDI in people with Asthma, run by AstraZeneca at 6 sites 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 9 inclusion and 10 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 15 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites 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?

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?

Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) (time frame: Participants < 30 kg: Predose, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 3 hours, and 6 hours postdose; Participants ≥ 30 kg: Predose, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, and 8 hours postdose). The study lists 2 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 15 Jul 2026.
