About this study

Official title: A Comparison of Combivent® UDV (Ipratropium 500mcg and Salbutamol 2.5mg) and Salbutamol UDV Alone (2.5mg) in a Double-Blind Efficacy and Safety Study in Asthmatic Children With Severe Acute Exacerbation

To compare the bronchodilator efficacy of ipratropium plus salbutamol (Combivent) with salbutamol alone given every 20 minutes for three doses in asthmatic children with severe acute exacerbation

Read the detailed description

A Comparison of Ipratropium 500mcg and salbutamol 2.5mg (Combivent UDV) and salbutamol UDV alone (2.5mg) in a Double-blind, Efficacy and Safety Study in Asthmatic Children with Severe Acute Exacerbation

Study Hypothesis:

Several studies, including a study conducted in an emergency room setting, demonstrated that the addition of ipratropium bromide, an anticholinergic drug, to standard salbutamol therapy significantly improves pulmonary function as compared to salbutamol alone.

Comparison(s):

Ipratropium bromide 500 mcg plus salbutamol 2.5mg (Combivent) vs salbutamol (2.5mg) alone given every 20 minutes for 3 doses

Conditions
Asthma

  • ipratropium plus salbutamol UDVDrug

  • salbutamol UDVDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. The proportion of patients showing improvement in asthma severity scores from severe at baseline to mild at the end of the treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in asthma severity scores from baseline to end of treatment; number of patients needing hospitalization; number of rescue medications; oxygen saturation, number of discharged patients revisiting the ER/doctors clinic

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ipratropium plus salbutamol UDV and salbutamol UDV in people with Asthma, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 10 sites in Philippines.

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 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 29 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Philippines. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 proportion of patients showing improvement in asthma severity scores from severe at baseline to mild at the end of the treatment. 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 29 Oct 2013.
