Who may be able to join

  • 1. Clinical benefit from continued treatment with budesonide inhalation suspension was expected in patients with bronchial asthma participating in study SD-004-0765, as judged by the investigator(s) at the completion of that study (Visit 11, Week 24), and the patient's caregiver wished the continued treatment with budesonide inhalation suspension A written consent to participate in this study had been obtained from the patient's legal representative (a person who exercises parental authority for the patient, or if no one was applicable, a guardian: in principle, the patient's parent).

Official title: Investigation of Safety and Efficacy of Budesonide Inhalation Suspension in the Long-Term Use in Japanese Children With Bronchial Asthma (Open Long-Term Extension Study Following Study SD-004-0765

This study is as an extension study of SD-004-0765, to assess the safety profile of long-term use of budesonide inhalation suspension in Japanese young children with bronchial asthma. Children completing study SD-004-0765 continued administration of budesonide inhalation suspension as judged by the investigator; the dose is adjusted as appropriate within the range of 0.25 to 1.0 mg per day administered once or twice daily, according to the symptoms.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Pulmicort (budesonide) Respules in people with Asthma, run by AstraZeneca at 9 sites in Japan.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 25 Mar 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Japan. 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?

The safety profile of long-term use of budesonide inhalation suspension assessed by evaluation of frequency and intensity of adverse events, plasma cortisol, physical examination, height, weight and clinical laboratory values.. 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 25 Mar 2009.
