Read the detailed description

Screening will be performed within 21 days of dosing on Day 1 at visit 2. Eligible participants will be admitted to the trial center the day preceding the first dosing (day -1).

Participants will receive Aclidinium Bromide/Formoterol Fumarate 400/12 μg twice-daily (morning and evening) on Days 1 to 4. On Day 5 patients will receive the morning dose only. PK and safety assessments will be conducted at specific timepoints on Day 1 to Day 7.

Participants will be discharged 48 h after the last administration of investigational product and completion of the 48-h PK sample collection and safety assessments on Day 7.

A follow-up visit will be performed within 5 days of the last PK sample collection on Day 7.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Aclidinium Bromide/Formoterol Fumarate 400/12μg BID in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in China.

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 29 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 22 Jul 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 China. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jul 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?

Cmax of Aclidinium Bromide, Its Metabolites and Formoterol Fumarate (Single Dose). (time frame: Pre-dose and 5, 15, and 30 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours post the morning dose on Day 1). The study lists 18 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 NCT03276078, 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 22 Jul 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
