About this study

Official title: An Open Label Study to Assess the Utility of Measuring Markers of Inflammation, to Detect Transition From Optimal to Sub-Optimal Inhaled Corticosteroid Therapy in Moderate-Severe Bronchial Asthma

The purpose of this study is to investigate/assess the treatment of moderate to severe asthmatics with inhaled corticosteroid.

Being tested
inhaled corticosteroid therapy
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • inhaled corticosteroid therapyDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in inflammatory parameters in response to a decrease in ICS compared to no change in therapy after 2 and 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Parameter/combination of parameters most sensitive to the ICS reduction

  2. Collection of relative data to assess sample size calculations for subsequent studies

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing inhaled corticosteroid therapy in people with Bronchial Asthma, run by Novartis at 1 site in Germany.

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 14 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 22 Jun 2007. 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 Germany. 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 combined 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.

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 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?

Change in inflammatory parameters in response to a decrease in ICS compared to no change in therapy after 2 and 4 weeks. 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 22 Jun 2007.
