About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Randomized, Partial Double-blind, Single Dose, 3 Way Cross Over Study to Assess the Lung Exposure Bioequivalence of Budesonide, Glycopyrronium, and Formoterol for BGF MDI HFO Compared With BGF MDI HFA Using an AeroChamber Plus Flow Vu Spacer and to Compare the Lung Exposure of BGF MDI HFO With a Spacer to BGF MDI HFO Without a Spacer

The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate the equivalence of budesonide, glycopyrronium, formoterol (BGF) metered dose inhaler (MDI) hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) with a spacer to BGF MDI hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) with a spacer. The secondary objective is to characterize BGF MDI HFO with and without a spacer.

Read the detailed description

This study is a Phase I, randomized, partial double-blind, single dose, single-center, 3-way cross over study to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety of BGF MDI in healthy participants (male or female).

The study will comprise:

  1. A Screening Period of up to 27 days prior to first dosing.
  2. Three treatment periods: Participants will be resident at the Clinical Unit from Day -1 until 24 hours after dosing with the final treatment.
  3. Follow-up: A final Follow-up Phone Call within 5 to 7 days after the last administration of BGF MDI in Treatment Period 3.

Participants will receive all 3 treatments as a single dose (4 inhalations) (Treatment A [BGF MDI HFA with AeroChamber Plus Flow-Vu spacer with charcoal, reference formulation], Treatment B [BGF MDI HFO with AeroChamber Plus Flow-Vu spacer with charcoal - test formulation], and Treatment C [BGF MDI HFO without spacer with charcoal]) (1 treatment per treatment period) in one of 6 possible treatment sequences; ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB, or CBA.

There will be a 3 to 7 days washout period between each dose administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Treatment A: BGF MDI HFA, Treatment B: BGF MDI HFO and Treatment C: BGF MDI HFO in people with Healthy, run by AstraZeneca.

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 26 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2025. 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 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 Concentration-curve from Zero to the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast) of BGF MDI (time frame: Day 1 and Day 2 of each treatment period (each treatment period is of 2 days)). 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 15 Aug 2025.
