What participants receive

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

  • AP301Drug

    AP301 25 mg powder for reconstitution for solution for inhalation

    Orally delivered doses of 87.6 mg AP301 are inhaled every 12 hours (± 30 min), for a total of 7 days.

  • Saline solutionDrug

    Placebo solution (0.9% physiologic NaCl) is inhaled every 12 hours (± 30 min), for a total of 7 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. change in extravascular lung water within 7 days of treatment

    EVWL (measured with PiCCO® technique) until day 7 of treatment (AUC)

    Measured: change from baseline - day 7

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Oxygenation index

    Oxygenation index (PaO2 / FiO2 ratio) until day 7 of treatment

    Measured: baseline - day 7

  2. ventilator plateau pressure

    Ventilator plateau pressure until day 7 of treatment

    Measured: baseline - day 7

  3. Murray Lung Injury Score

    Measured: baseline - day 7

  4. Ventilation parameters / lung function

    Measured: baseline - day 7

  5. Presence/absence/severity and duration of adverse effects - number and severity of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and suspected unexpected serious adverse events (SUSARs))

    Measured: baseline - day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AP301 and Saline solution in people with Acute Lung Injury, run by Apeptico Forschung und Entwicklung GmbH at 1 site in Austria.

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 13 inclusion and 10 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 18 Nov 2019. 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 Austria. 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?

change in extravascular lung water within 7 days of treatment (time frame: change from baseline - day 7). 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 NCT01627613, 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 18 Nov 2019.
