Trial summary

The aim of this study is to establish associations between blood and urine markers of bone metabolism with histomorphometric changes (changes in the actual bone structure) resulting from short term oral prednisolone treatment in patients with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Mineral apposition rate Mineralising surface Eroded surface Bone formation rate Osteocalcin levels Serum and urinary deoxypyridinoline

    Measured: All measured with and without 3 weeks dosing with oral prednisolone

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pharmacokinetic measurements Bone structure and micro computer tomography of bone biopsies Biochemical markers of bone formation, bone break down and hormones

    Measured: All measured with and without 3 weeks dosing with oral prednisolone

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing prednisolone in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 3 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 16 Apr 2015. 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 United Kingdom. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Mineral apposition rate Mineralising surface Eroded surface Bone formation rate Osteocalcin levels Serum and urinary deoxypyridinoline (time frame: All measured with and without 3 weeks dosing with oral prednisolone). 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 16 Apr 2015.
