About this study

Official title: Efficacy Evaluation of Budesonide/Glycopyrronium Bromide/Formoterol Inhalation Aerosol in Symptomatic Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry (PRISm): A Single-arm Multicenter Clinical Trial

Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry (PRISm) is characterized by a normal forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio but an FEV1 below 80% of the predicted value. It has a population prevalence of approximately 10% and is associated with marked symptoms, a high risk of acute exacerbations, and increased mortality. The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) defines PRISm as a pre-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) state, and 20%-30% of patients with PRISm will progress to COPD. Currently, no evidence-based therapy exists for PRISm; management is mainly symptomatic relief, and there is an urgent need for evidence-based support. This single-arm clinical trial preliminarily evaluates the efficacy and safety of budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol inhalation aerosol in symptomatic patients with PRISm. Symptomatic smokers who meet the diagnostic criteria for PRISm and have an FEV1/FVC ratio ≥0.7 and <0.8 are enrolled and treated with budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol inhalation therapy for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline in FEV1; secondary endpoints include symptom score (COPD Assessment Test, CAT) and quality of life (St George's Respiratory Questionnaire, SGRQ); safety is assessed by recording adverse events (e.g., cardiovascular events); and exploratory analyses examine the association between biomarkers (e.g., peripheral blood eosinophil count, serum IgE level) and treatment efficacy. The study aims to preliminarily explore the efficacy and safety of budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol inhaler therapy for PRISm. Early intervention may delay the progression from PRISm to COPD, reduce the burden of chronic respiratory disease, and have important clinical translational value and public health significance.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Budesonide/glycopyrronium bromide/formoterol inhalation aerosolDrug

    Budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol inhalation aerosol delivers budesonide (160 μg), glycopyrronium (7.2 μg), and formoterol (4.8 μg) per actuation. It is administered as two inhalations twice daily (two in the morning and two in the evening), approximately 12 hours apart, via a pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI). Subjects are required to receive standardized training on inhalation technique to ensure proper technique.

What is being measured

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

  1. Trough forced expiratory volume in the first second (trough FEV1)

    Pulmonary function tests will be conducted using standardized spirometry (in accordance with ATS/ERS guidelines) at 12 hours post-dose (trough state).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Score

    The standardized SGRQ (Chinese version) will be self-administered by the subjects.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12

  2. COPD Assessment Test (CAT) Score

    The standardized CAT questionnaire (Chinese version) will be self-administered by the subjects.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12

  3. Adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)

    All AE/SAE occurrences and types during the treatment period will be recorded. Grading will be performed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v5.0). Causality and severity will be assessed by the investigator.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Budesonide/glycopyrronium bromide/formoterol inhalation aerosol in people with Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry (PRISM), run by Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 May 2026. 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. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Trough forced expiratory volume in the first second (trough FEV1) (time frame: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12). 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 19 May 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 2 Nov 2026.
