Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male and postmenopausal or sterile female patients with a history of moderate to severe COPD defined as Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) II-III for at least 1 year
  • At least 40 years of age
  • Current smoker or ex-smoker with at least 10 pack-year smoking history (Ten pack-years is defined as 20 cigarettes a day for 10 years, or 10 cigarettes a day for 20 years etc.)
  • Postbronchodilator FEV1 between 30% and 80% predicted and FEV1/FVC ratio < 70%. Postbronchodilator refers to 30 min after inhalation of 400 µg Salbutamol. This criterion for FEV1 will have to be demonstrated after a washout period of at least 48 h during which no long acting anticholinergic medication (LAMA) or long acting β2-agonists (LABA) has been inhaled or a washout period of 6 h during which no short acting β2-agonists (SABA) or anticholinergic medication (SAMA) has been inhaled. For patients having been pretreated with an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and/or theophylline, this criterion needs to be demonstrated after a washout of at least 4 weeks.
  • Able to produce sputum upon induction in a sufficient quality. This criterion will be checked by the responsible sputum lab prior to randomization of the patient.
  • Time and ability to complete the study
  • Able to communicate well with the investigator, to understand and comply with the requirements of the study. Understand and sign the written informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with a history of chronic respiratory disorders other than COPD e.g. asthma, α1-Antitrypsin deficiency, mucoviscidosis, lung fibrosis
  • Patients who experienced an exacerbation in the 4 weeks before the screening visit or between screening and randomization
  • Patients who experienced an acute upper respiratory tract infection or broncho-pulmonary infection requiring antibiotic treatment during the 4 weeks before the screening visit or between screening and randomization
  • Treatment with inhaled (ICS), topical or any systemic corticosteroids or theophylline within at least 4 weeks before the screening visit and throughout entire course of the study. Patients with ICS and/or theophylline treatment will undergo a washout of at least 4 weeks after signature of the informed consent and prior to the screening visit, where eligibility to enter the study will be assessed

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bimosiamose in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Revotar Biopharmaceuticals AG 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 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 9 May 2011. 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. 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?

difference in absolute neutrophil cell counts and interleukin-8 in induced sputum between Bimosiamose and placebo treatment. 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 NCT01108913, 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 9 May 2011.
