About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multi-center, Long Term Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Budesonide Turbuhaler® Treatment for 48 Weeks (Following 6 Weeks Phase III Study) in Japanese Children With Bronchial Asthma Aged 5 Years to 15 Years Old

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients With Adverse Events (AEs).

    AEs were defined as undesirable medical conditions or deteriorations of a pre-existing medical condition following/during exposure. All Serious AEs, AEs leading to withdrawal, Other relevant AE were recorded.

    Measured: 54 weeks

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Number of Patients With Abnormal Clinical Laboratory Test Values.

    Analysis of haematological, clinical chemistry and urynalysis variables were performed.

    Haematology variables: erythrocytes, haemoglobin, haematocrit, leucocyte count, leucocyte different count (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, monocytes), platelet count.

    Clinical chemistry measurements: aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin, albumin, creatinine,sodium, potassium, total protein, blood urea nitrogen.

    Urinalysis variables: protein, glucose, urobilinogen, occult.

    Measured: 54 weeks

  2. Number of Patients With Abnormal Vital Sign Values for the Following Variables: Blood Pressure (Sitting) and Pulse Rate (Sitting), as Judged by the Investigator

    Measured: 54 weeks

  3. Number of Patients With Abnormal Plasma Cortisol Values.

    Cut-off value of cortisol is defined as 4 mcg/dL.

    Measured: 54 weeks

  4. Height

    Height, change from baseline calculated as (height at last visit - height at randomization)

    Measured: Baseline and 54 weeks

  5. Weight

    Weight, change from baseline calculated as (weight at last visit - weight at randomization)

    Measured: Baseline and 54 weeks

  6. Morning Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) Percentage of Predicted Normal

    Change in PEF percent of predicted normal calculated as (PEF percent predicted normal at last visit - PEF percent predicted normal at randomization).

    Measured: 54 weeks

  7. Change From Baseline of Respiratory Condition at Asthma Attacks (Daytime)

    Change in respiratory condition at asthma attacks (daytime) from baseline to last visit. Scale: 0 - 4.

    0 = None. 1 = Mild. 2 = Moderate. 3= Severe. 4 = Respiratory insufficiency

    Measured: Baseline and 54 weeks

  8. Change From Baseline of Respiratory Condition at Asthma Attacks (Nighttime)

    Change in respiratory condition at asthma attacks (nighttime) from baseline calculated as (respiratory condition at asthma attacks (nighttime) at last visit - respiratory condition at asthma attacks (night-time) at randomization).

    Scale: 0 - 4. 0 = None. 1 = Mild. 2 = Moderate. 3= Severe. 4 = Respiratory insufficiency.

    Measured: Baseline and 54 weeks

  9. Change From Baseline of Use of Inhaled Short-acting B-2 Agonist (Daytime)

    Change in use of inhaled short-acting B-2 agonist (daytime) from baseline calculated as (use of inhaled short-acting B-2 agonist (daytime) at last visit - use of inhaled short-acting B-2 agonist (daytime) at randomization)

    Measured: Baseline and 54 weeks

  10. Change From Baseline of Use of Inhaled Short-acting B-2 Agonist (Night-time)

    Change in use of inhaled short-acting B-2 agonist (night-time) from baseline calculated as (use of inhaled short-acting B-2 agonist (night-time) at last visit - use of inhaled short-acting B-2 agonist (night-time) at randomization)

    Measured: Baseline and 54 weeks

  11. Change From Baseline in Disturbance of Daily Activities

    Change in disturbance of daily activities from baseline calculated as (disturbance of daily activities at last visit - disturbance of daily activities at randomization).

    Frequency of disturbance of daily activity was assessed using 3- grade scale (normal, almost able, unable).

    Measured: Baseline and 54 weeks

  12. Change From Baseline in Disturbance of Night-time Sleep

    Change in disturbance of night-time sleep from baseline calculated as (disturbances of night-time sleep at last visit - disturbances of night-time sleep at randomization).

    Frequency of disturbance of night- time sleep was assessed using 3- grade scale (normal, almost able, unable).

    Measured: Baseline and 54 weeks

  13. Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) Percentage of Predicted Normal Change From Baseline

    Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) percentage of predicted normal change from baseline calculated as: 100 * (FEV1 at last visit - FEV1 at randomization)/predicted normal FEV1).

    Measured: 54 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Budesonide and Conventional Asthma Therapy in people with Asthma, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in Japan.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 27 Aug 2012. 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 Japan. 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 27 Aug 2012). 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?

Number of Patients With Adverse Events (AEs). (time frame: 54 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 27 Aug 2012.
