About this study

Official title: Nebulizer Trial: Evaluation of the Influence of Particle Size of Aerosolized AMP on Bronchial Responsiveness in Patients With Asthma and the Effects of Treatment With Ciclesonide Versus Fluticasone.

The aim of this study is to compare the responsiveness of lower airways in adult patients with stable asthma after treatment with ciclesonide and fluticasone propionate. Treatment medication will be administered as follows: ciclesonide will be inhaled once daily at one dose level, fluticasone propionate will be inhaled twice daily at one dose level. The study duration consists of a baseline period (5 weeks) and a treatment period (5 weeks). The study will provide further data on safety and tolerability of ciclesonide.

What is being measured

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

  1. PC20 AMP (Post-treatment Compared to Baseline)

    Mean change of Provocative concentration of Adenosine-5'-monophosphate (PC20 AMP) leading to a 20 percent decrease in Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) between post-treatment and baseline using two different particle sizes. - Small particles = Mass mean aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of approximately 1.04-1.08 micron - Large particles = MMAD of approximately 9.9-10.6 micron

    Measured: Baseline and 5 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Δ (FVC/SVC) at PC20 (AMP)

    Change between baseline and post-treatment of the ratio of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Slow Vital Capacity at PC20. Measured with either small or large partical size AMP.

    Measured: Baseline and 5 weeks

  2. Safety and Tolerability

    Measured: 5 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ciclesonide and Fluticasone 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 1 Feb 2017. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Apr 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

PC20 AMP (Post-treatment Compared to Baseline) (time frame: Baseline and 5 weeks). 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 NCT00306163, 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 1 Feb 2017.
