About this study

Official title: A Randomized Open Label Three-Way Crossover Study in Healthy Male Volunteers to Investigate the Effect of Particle Size on Pharmacokinetics Following a Single Inhaled Dose of AZD7594 Via a Dry Powder Inhaler

This study is an open label, randomized, three-way crossover study to assess the effect of particle size on the PK and safety of single inhaled doses of AZD7594 in healthy subjects (males aged 18 to 55 years [inclusive]). The study will be performed at a single study center.

Read the detailed description

The study will comprise:

  • A Screening period of maximum 28 days.
  • Three treatment periods during which subjects will be resident prior to the evening meal the 1 day before dosing with AZD7594 (Day -1) until at least 48 hours after dosing; discharged on the morning of Day 3. Subjects will then return for ambulatory visits 72, 96, 144 and 240 hours after dosing, (Day 4, Day 5, Day 7 and Day 11 respectively).
  • A final Follow-up Visit within 10 days after the last administration of AZD7594. This visit will coincide with the last PK sample collection on Day 11 after the last Treatment Period.

There will be a minimum wash-out period of 21 and maximum of 28 days between each dose administration.

Subjects will attend a Screening Visit within 28 days before receiving their first dose of AZD7594, if they are found to be eligible, they return for Treatment Period 1, when they will have baseline assessments, and then will be randomized into one of the 6 treatments sequences. For each Treatment Period, the subjects will receive their investigational medicinal product (IMP) dose in the morning of Day 1, will have further assessments for 48 hours after dosing (residential period) and will return to the study center for ambulatory visits 72, 96, 144 and 240 hours after dosing, (Day 4, Day 5, Day 7 and Day 11 respectively).

Each subject will receive AZD7594 as a single inhaled dose of 440 µg (nominal dose) of each of the following treatments, administered via Dry powder inhaler (DPI):

  • Treatment A: Particle size Large
  • Treatment B: Particle size Medium
  • Treatment C: Particle size Small Each subject will be involved in the study for up to 12 weeks (up to 4 weeks for enrollment and 8 weeks of active study and Follow-up).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Treatment A - AZD7594, Treatment B - AZD7594 and Treatment C - AZD7594 in people with Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in Germany.

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 6 inclusion and 22 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 6 Feb 2018. 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 Germany. 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 plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC) (time frame: Pre-dose and at 15, 30, and 45 minutes, and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48, 72, 96, 144 and 240 hours post dose). The study lists 3 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 6 Feb 2018.
