About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Open-label, Single-dose, 2-way Cross-over Study to Compare the Pharmacokinetics of Budesonide Delivered by PT027 Compared With Pulmicort Flexhaler (ELBRUS)

This study is to compare the systemic exposure of budesonide delivered by the combination inhaler (budesonide/albuterol sulfate pressurized inhalation suspension [BDA metered dose inhaler {BDA MDI}]) with Pulmicort Flexhaler dry-powder inhaler (DPI).

Read the detailed description

This study will be an open-label, randomized, 2-way cross-over study in healthy adult male or female participants, performed at a single study center.Participants will receive single doses of BDA MDI or Pulmicort Flexhaler on 2 occasions, under fasted conditions. There will be a minimum washout period of 3 days between each dose administration. A total of 66 participants will be randomized in this study to ensure that at least 62 participants are evaluable. The study will comprise of screening period of maximum 27 days; Two treatment periods during which participants will be resident from the day prior to administration of budesonide/albuterol sulfate pressurized inhalation suspension metered dose inhaler (BDA MDI) or Pulmicort Flexhaler (Day -1) until at least 24 hours after dosing. Participants will be discharged on the morning of Day 2; and a final follow-up visit within 5 to 7 days after the last administration of BDA MDI or Pulmicort Flexhaler.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BDA MDI 160/180 mcg and Pulmicort Flexhaler 180 mcg in people with Relative Bioavailability, run by AstraZeneca 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 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 1 Oct 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.

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) for budesonide (time frame: On Day 1 (Pre-dose and 5, 15, 20, 30 and 45 minutes and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours post dose) and on Day 2 (24 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 1 Oct 2019.
