What is being measured

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

  1. Area-Under-the-Effect Curve of Percent Change in Test-Day Baseline Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Versus Time (up to 2 Hours Postdose), %FEV1 AUEC0-2

    The %FEV1 AUEC0-2 was calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule. The baseline value consisted of the average of the two predose FEV1 measurements. The mean was obtained from the mixed-effect analysis of variance adjusted for effects from the study center, the treatment sequence, and study period.

    Measured: Baseline, Up to 2 hours postdose

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Percent Change From Baseline in FEV1 Within 30 Minutes Postdose

    The mean was obtained from the mixed-effect analysis of variance adjusted for effects from the study center, the treatment sequence, and study period.

    Measured: Baseline up to 30 minutes postdose

  2. Percent Change From Baseline in FEV1 up to 2 Hours Postdose

    The mean was obtained from the mixed-effect analysis of variance adjusted for effects from the study center, the treatment sequence, and study period.

    Measured: Baseline up to 2 hours postdose

  3. Area-Under-the-Effect Curve of Change in Test-Day Baseline FEV1 Versus Time (up to 2 Hours Postdose), FEV1 AUEC0-2

    The %FEV1 AUEC0-2 was calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule. The test-day baseline consisted of the average of the two predose FEV1 measurements. The mean was obtained from the mixed-effect analysis of variance adjusted for effects from the study center, the treatment sequence, and study period.

    Measured: Baseline up to 2 hours postdose

  4. Percentage of Participants With a 12% Increase From Baseline in FEV1 Within 2 Hours Postdose

    Measured: Baseline up to 2 hours postdose

  5. Percentage of Participants With a 15% Increase From Baseline in FEV1 Within 2 Hours Postdose

    Measured: Baseline up to 2 hours postdose

  6. Time to a 12% Increase From Baseline in FEV1 Within 2 Hours Postdose

    The number of minutes required for the baseline FEV1 to increase by at least 12% within the 2-hour observation period. Median time and corresponding confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained via the Kaplan-Meier estimate.

    Measured: Baseline up to 2 hours postdose

  7. Time to a 15% Increase From Baseline in FEV1 Within 2 Hours Postdose

    The number of minutes required for the baseline FEV1 to increase by at least 15% within the 2-hour observation period. Median time and corresponding CIs were obtained via the Kaplan-Meier estimate.

    Measured: Baseline up to 2 hours postdose

  8. Time to Maximum Increase in FEV1

    Each calculation for FEV1 took several minutes in order to obtain the highest of 3 measurements. The total collection time exceeded the 120 mins post-dose time frame for some participants.

    Measured: Baseline up to 2 hours postdose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Albuterol-HFA-MDI and Albuterol-HFA-BAI in people with Asthma, run by Teva Branded Pharmaceutical Products R&D, Inc. at 5 sites in United States.

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 9 inclusion and 12 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 7 Sep 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 31 Aug 2022). 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?

Area-Under-the-Effect Curve of Percent Change in Test-Day Baseline Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Versus Time (up to 2 Hours Postdose), %FEV1 AUEC0-2 (time frame: Baseline, Up to 2 hours postdose). 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 7 Sep 2022.
