About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Profiles of Albuterol Spiromax® and ProAir® HFA in Pediatric Patients With Persistent Asthma

The primary objective of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of Albuterol Spiromax® and ProAir HFA after administration of a single inhaled dose of 180 mcg albuterol base from each product.

Read the detailed description

This is a single center, open-label, 2-period crossover study. The study consists of a screening visit followed by a treatment period comprising 2 treatment visits. The treatment period visits will be separated by a 4 to 14-day washout period. Eligible patients will be kept overnight prior to each treatment period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the plasma albuterol concentration-time curve

    Blood samples for plasma albuterol concentration determination will be drawn 5 (±2) minutes prior to dosing and at 30 (±2), 60 (±5), 120 (±10), 360 (±10), and 600 (±10) minutes after the completion of dosing.

    Measured: Time 0 to the last detectable plasma albuterol concentration measured up to 10 hours post-dose (AUC0-t)

  2. Maximum observed plasma albuterol concentration (Cmax)

    Blood samples for plasma albuterol concentration determination will be drawn 5 (±2) minutes prior to dosing and at 30 (±2), 60 (±5), 120 (±10), 360 (±10), and 600 (±10) minutes after the completion of dosing.

    Measured: From baseline to up to 10 hours post dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pharmacodynamic Effect on Vital Signs

    Effects on vital signs (blood pressure, pulse rate) over 6 hours post-dosing

    Measured: From baseline to up to 6 hours post dose

  2. Summary of participants with adverse events

    Measured: From Day 1 to end of Follow-up Visit (approximately 4 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Albuterol Spiromax® and ProAir® HFA in people with Asthma, run by Teva Branded Pharmaceutical Products R&D, Inc. 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 8 inclusion and 8 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 14 Nov 2013. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Area under the plasma albuterol concentration-time curve (time frame: Time 0 to the last detectable plasma albuterol concentration measured up to 10 hours post-dose (AUC0-t)). 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?
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 14 Nov 2013.
