What is being measured

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

  1. To demonstrate the non-inferiority of budesonide delivered by Novolizer to that delivered by Turbuhaler in terms of mPEF (morning peak expiratory flow) in Chinese mild to moderate asthma patients

    The change of mPEF in the Week 11-12 of treatment from baseline

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To evaluate the improvement of FEV1(Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second) in Chinese mild to moderate asthma patients after treatment of budesonide delivered by Novolizer or Turbuhaler

    The change of FEV1 in the Week 12 of treatment from baseline

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. To evaluate the improvement of ePEF (Evening Peak Expiratory Flow) in Chinese mild to moderate asthma patients after treatment of budesonide delivered by Novolizer or Turbuhaler

    The change of ePEF in the Week 11-12 of treatment from baseline

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. To evaluate the improvement in ACT (Asthma Control Test) score in Chinese mild to moderate asthma patients after treatment of budesonide delivered by Novolizer or Turbuhaler

    The change of ACT scores in the Week 12 of treatment from baseline

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. To evaluate the tolerability and safety of budesonide delivered by Novolizer or Turbuhaler in Chinese mild to moderate asthma patients

    It will be assessed according to numbers of adverse event and laboratory results

    Measured: 15 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Budesonide dry powder inhaler in people with Asthma, run by NovaMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. at 11 sites in China.

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 28 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Aug 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in China. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To demonstrate the non-inferiority of budesonide delivered by Novolizer to that delivered by Turbuhaler in terms of mPEF (morning peak expiratory flow) in Chinese mild to moderate asthma patients (time frame: 12 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 23 Aug 2011.
