Trial summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the involvement of small airways in asthma, as determined by bronchial challenges, CT-scanning, and cellular markers of inflammation. Ciclesonide will be inhaled at one dose level once daily. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Parameters of the Small Airways and Their Changes Under Treatment With Ciclesonide (320 mcg Once Daily) Versus Placebo in Patients With Asthma

The aim of this study is to evaluate the involvement of small airways in asthma, as determined by bronchial challenges, CT-scanning, and cellular markers of inflammation. Ciclesonide will be inhaled at one dose level once daily. The study duration consists of a baseline period (2 to 3 weeks) and a treatment period (5 to 6 weeks). The study will provide further data on safety and tolerability of ciclesonide.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ciclesonide in people with Asthma, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in Netherlands.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 8 Dec 2016. 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 Netherlands. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

variables of primary interest are FVC% at PC20 MCh, SVC% at PC20 MCh. The study lists 6 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 NCT00163345, 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 8 Dec 2016.
