About this study

Official title: In-vivo Deposition Measurement of Beclometasone and Formoterol After Inhalation of a Single Dose of the Combination BDP Plus Formoterol NEXT DPI in Healthy Volunteers, Asthmatic and COPD Patients.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the lung deposition and distribution pattern of Beclometasone and Formoterol using a gamma-scintigraphic technique after inhalation of a single dose of 99mTc-radiolabelled BDP/formoterol fixed combination administered Via the NEXT DPI in healthy volunteers, asthmatic and COPD patients. Additionally, the systemic exposures to formoterol, BDP and its monopropionate metabolite (B17MP) will be investigated.

What participants receive

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

  • BDP/formoterol NEXT DPIDrug

    Also called CHF 1535 NEXT DPI

    Single inhalation of radiolabelled BDP/formoterol 100/6 µg NEXT DPI (4 puffs giving a total dose of 400 µg BDP + 24 µg formoterol)

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
BDP/formoterol NEXT DPIExperimentalRadiolabelled BDP/formoterol 100/6 µg dry powder administered via the NEXT inhaler
Receives: Drug: BDP/formoterol NEXT DPI

What is being measured

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

  1. Lung deposition of BDP and Formoterol (expressed as % of emitted dose) when inhaled using the NEXT dry powder inhaler

    Calculated using the individual Gamma camera images and the regions of interest defined from the 81mKrypton-ventilation scan.

    Measured: Immediately after dosing

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Distribution of lung deposition

    Measured: Immediately after dosing

  2. Extrathoracic deposition

    Measured: Immediately after dosing

  3. Exhaled activity

    Measured: Immediately after dosing

  4. Plasma pharmacokinetics of formoterol, BDP and its monopropionate metabolite (B17MP)

    Measured: over 24 h post dose

  5. Lung function parameters

    Measured: over 24 h post dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing BDP/formoterol NEXT DPI in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive and Asthma, run by Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A. 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 24 inclusion and 30 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 29 Oct 2021. 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?

Lung deposition of BDP and Formoterol (expressed as % of emitted dose) when inhaled using the NEXT dry powder inhaler (time frame: Immediately after dosing). 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 NCT01176747, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Oct 2021.
