What is being measured

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

  1. Peak inspiratory flow rate through the placebo Easyhaler and Diskus inhalers

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The inspiratory volume through the placebo Easyhaler and Diskus inhalers will be measured at the same time with the peak inspiratory flow rate

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Easyhaler type A, Easyhaler type B and Diskus inhaler in people with Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Orion Corporation, Orion Pharma at 5 sites in 2 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 3 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Estonia, Finland. 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.

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?

Peak inspiratory flow rate through the placebo Easyhaler and Diskus inhalers (time frame: 1 day). 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 NCT01424137, 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 3 Feb 2012.
