About this study

Official title: Acute Effect of Indacaterol Maleate on Static and Dynamic Lung Volume in COPD Subjects.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether indacaterol maleate 300 micrograms (mcg) is effective in the acute treatment of COPD and in particular on reducing lung hyperinflation and dynamic volumes.

Read the detailed description

Enrolled patients: COPD of any disease severity in stable conditions. 48 hours of inhalatory drugs wash out.

Evaluation: Plethysmographic test, blood gas analysis, blood pressure, cardiac frequency and Borg scale evaluation in basal condition and after 60 minutes of indacaterol maleate 300 mcg inhalation.

Being tested
Indacaterol maleate, Placebo
Keywords
COPD, Inspiratory capacity, Residual volume, Total lung resistance, Arterial Oxygen
Medical subject headings

PlaceboPlacebo comparatorWill be administered with the same device by a third independent investigator
Receives: Drug: Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Intra Thoracic Gas Volume (ITGV)

    A complete body plethysmografic test will be performed after indacaterol inhalation

    Measured: 60 minutes after drug inhalation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Forced Expired Volume in the first second (FEV1)

    Will be performed: spirometry, Arterial blood sample, measurement of blood pressure and cardiac frequency. All these parameters will be tested 60 minutes after inhalation of Indacaterol 300 micrograms (mcg).

    Measured: 60 minutes after drug inhalation

  2. Partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2)

    Arterial gas analysis will be performed evaluating all arterial gases

    Measured: 60 minutes after drug inhalation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Indacaterol maleate in people with COPD and Lung Diseases, run by University of Milan at 1 site in Italy.

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 7 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 2014. 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 Italy. 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 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?

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?

Intra Thoracic Gas Volume (ITGV) (time frame: 60 minutes after drug inhalation). 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 29 Oct 2014.
