What is being measured

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

  1. Delivered Dose of Fluticasone (on the Filter)

    This is a measure of the the amount of fluticasone deposited onto a filter (delivered dose) during coordinated and uncoordinated actuation/inhalation maneuver. The coordinated maneuver occurs when the firing of the fluticasone is coordinated with the inhalation of the patient . An uncoordinated maneuver occurs when the firing of the fluticasone is coordinated with the exhalation of the patient.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Delivered Dose of Fluticasone (on the Filter) Comparing Coordinated and Uncoordinated Maneuvers

    This is a measure of the the amount of fluticasone deposited onto a filter (delivered dose) during coordinated and uncoordinated actuation/inhalation maneuver. The coordinated maneuver occurs when the firing of the fluticasone is coordinated with the inhalation of the patient . An uncoordinated maneuver occurs when the firing of the fluticasone is coordinated with the exhalation of the patient.

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Inspiratory Peak Flow

    Inspiratory peak flow is a person's maximum speed of inspiration, as measured with a peak flow meter, a small, hand-held device used to monitor a person's ability to breathe in air.

    This study compared the inspiratory peak flows of all participants between the coordinated and uncoordinated maneuvers.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Inspiratory Tidal Volume

    Inspiratory tidal volume is a person's lung volume representing the normal volume of air displaced between normal inhalation and exhalation when extra effort is not applied. In a healthy, young human adult, tidal volume is approximately 500 mL per inspiration or 7 mL/kg of body mass.

    This study compared the inspiratory tidal volume of all participants between the coordinated and uncoordinated maneuvers.

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Asthma, run by Philips Respironics at 1 site in United States.

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 9 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 24 Apr 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Apr 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Delivered Dose of Fluticasone (on the Filter) (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01714063, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 24 Apr 2019.
