About this study

Official title: Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Groups, To Evaluate And Compare The Safety, Tolerability And Efficacy Of Two Dosages Of Inhaled TPI ASM8 Administered For 14 Days In Patients With Mild to Moderate Asthma.

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of two dosages of a new drug TPI ASM8 administered by inhalation for 14 days to mild to moderate asthmatic patients, aged between 18-65, non-smokers . The study will also look at the nature and quantity of inflammatory white cells in the lung secretions and in the blood, and some additional inflammation markers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TPI ASM8 and ASM8 in people with Asthma, run by Syntara at 10 sites in Canada.

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 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 2012. 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 Canada. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Lack of substantial enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Sputum eosinophils at Day 1 and Day 14 and safety on Day 14 (time frame: Prospective). 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 3 Dec 2012.
