About this study

Official title: recipientsProspective Evaluation of the Efficacy of Budesonide/Formoterol (Symbicort®) in Bronchiolitis Obliterans in Allogeneic Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AHSCT) Recipients

The usual treatment for obstructive airway disease (OAD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) , which is related to graft versus host disease (GVHD), consists of intensification of systemic immunosuppressive therapy.

Read the detailed description

Although it has not been evaluated prospectively, the usual treatment for obstructive airway disease (OAD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) , which is related to graft versus host disease (GVHD), consists of intensification of systemic immunosuppressive therapy. However, this treatment has a limited efficacy and is associated with a significant number of serious adverse effects, particularly infectious. Alternative treatments are therefore necessary.We have retrospectively reported clinical and functional improvement in patients with OAD following AHSCT treated with inhaled budesonide/formoterol combination.These encouraging results need to be confirmed by the present randomised, prospective double-blind trial. This study is therefore designed to evaluate the efficacy of budesonide/formoterol versus placebo in patients with moderate to severe OAD, not requiring initiation or intensification of systemic immunosuppressive therapy for extra thoracic GVHD.

What participants receive

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

  • Formoterol/BudesonideDrug

    Budesonide/Formoterol 400/12: 800 µg b.i.d for 1 month

  • lactoseDrug

    Lactose 2 puffs b.i.d for 1 month

Study groups in NCT00624754
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1ExperimentalPatients with OAD will receive Symbicort® at the dose of two puffs morning and evening, each delivering 400/12 µg of budesonide/formoterol. Symbicort® will be administered by inhalation using the Turbuhaler (TH) system
Receives: Drug: Formoterol/Budesonide
2Placebo comparatorPatients with OAD will receive lactose as a placebo, administered by inhalation using the Turbuhaler (TH) system
Receives: Drug: lactose

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary endpoint is based on pulmonary function tests (PFT): the absolute variation of FEV1 after 1 month of treatment will be assessed.

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Improvement or stabilisation of FEV1; Prevalence of improvement of FEV1 by at least 200 ml and 12% at 1 month compared to baseline; Variation of FEF 25-75% and vital capacity; Quality of life measurement; Evaluation of the clinical score

    Measured: 1, 6 and 7 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Formoterol/Budesonide and lactose in people with Obstructive Airway Disease, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 8 inclusion and 10 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 6 May 2013. 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 France. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 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?

The primary endpoint is based on pulmonary function tests (PFT): the absolute variation of FEV1 after 1 month of treatment will be assessed. (time frame: 1 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00624754, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 6 May 2013.
