    Measured: Up to 120 minutes after drug administration

  3. Assessment of dyspnoea on a 4-point scale

    Measured: Up to 120 minutes after drug administration

  4. Changes in respiratory rate

    Measured: Up to 120 minutes after drug administration

  5. Changes in Oxygen Saturation (ambient air)

    Measured: Up to 120 minutes after drug administration

  6. Changes in measurement of pulmonary resistance

    Measured: Up to 120 minutes after drug administration

  7. Number of patients dropped out because of lack of efficacy

    Measured: Up to 120 minutes after drug administration

  8. Number of patients with adverse events

    Measured: Up to 17 days after last drug administration

  9. Number of patients dropped out because of adverse events

    Measured: Up to 17 days after last drug administration

  10. Number of patients with clinical significant findings in blood pressure

    Measured: Up to 120 minutes after drug administration

  11. Number of patients with clinical significant findings in heart rate

    Measured: Up to 120 minutes after drug administration

  12. Hospital Admission rate

    Measured: 120 minutes after drug administration

  13. Assessment of Patient Status by investigator on a 3-question list

    Measured: 72 hours after drug admimistration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ipratropium bromide and Salbutamol in people with Asthma, run by Boehringer Ingelheim.

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 5 inclusion and 16 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Changes from baseline in pulmonary resistance (Rint) between T0 and T120 (time frame: Baseline, 120 minutes after drug administration). 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 10 Sep 2014.
