What participants receive

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

  • Salmeterol/fluticasone propionate 50/500mcg DiskusDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. To compare the number of CD68+ and CD8+ inflammatory cells per area of biopsy tissue and the percentage and total number of neutrophils in induced sputum between salmeterol/fluticasone propionate and placebo

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To compare the number of mast cells, CD45+,CD4+,IFN-gamma mRNA+,TNF-alpha mRNA+, per area of biopsy and the percentage and number of macrophages, eosinophils, lymphocytes in induced sputum between salmeterol/fluticasone propionate and placebo

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Salmeterol/fluticasone propionate 50/500mcg Diskus in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 20 sites in 8 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in United Kingdom, Lithuania, Denmark, Estonia, Slovakia and 3 more countries. 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?

To compare the number of CD68+ and CD8+ inflammatory cells per area of biopsy tissue and the percentage and total number of neutrophils in induced sputum between salmeterol/fluticasone propionate and placebo. 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 NCT00268177, which also lists 9 linked publications.

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 Sep 2016.
