Study summary

For the prophylactic treatment of asthma, FP inhaled aerosol (Flixotide ®) administered via a pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) was approved in China in adults, adolescents older than 16 years of age and children aged 4 to 16 years. This post-marketing safety monitoring program will evaluate the safety profile of FP 50 micrograms (µg) inhaled via a pediatric spacer device with a face mask in Chinese subjects aged 1 to \<4 years. The adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and predictors of these adverse reactions among subjects will be reported. This single arm observational study will include subjects prescribed with FP 50 µg inhaled via a pediatric spacer device with a face mask. The maximum duration of the study will be 12 weeks with 3 visits. Visit 1 (Day 1) will be on-site visit and will also mark the start of the observational program. The follow-up visits will be scheduled at Visit 2 (Week 4), and Visit 3 (Week 12) conducted on site or by telephone. A total of 150 asthmatic subjects who have been prescribed FP 50 µg treatment for appropriate medical use for the first time in China will be enrolled in the study. Flixotide is a registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) group of companies.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Any Adverse Event (AE) or Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR)

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical event which occurred in a participant or clinical study participant, which is temporally associated with the use of the medical product, whether or not considered related to the product. An ADR is defined as AE related to study drug and listed in the package insert. Number of participants who had at least one AE or ADR are presented.

    Time frame: Up to Week 12

  2. Number of Participants With Any Serious Adverse Event (SAE) or Non-SAE

    Any untoward medical occurrence resulting in death, life threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, possible drug-induced liver injury or any other situation according to medical or scientific judgment that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the participant or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent serious outcomes were categorized as SAE. Number of participants who had at least one SAE or non-SAE are presented.

    Time frame: Up to Week 12

  3. Number of Participants With Any New, Unexpected AE or Safety Signal

    An unexpected AE is defined as any adverse reaction whose nature and intensity have not been previously observed and documented for the study product (e.g. in the investigator brochure, product information). A safety signal is information on a new or known AE that may be caused by a medicine and requires further investigation. Number of participants with any new unexpected AE or safety signal are presented.

    Time frame: Up to Week 12

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jan 2018 to primary completion in Sep 2018, 8 months.

Results were first posted in Oct 2019, 1 year after primary completion.

Of 90 industry-sponsored observational studies under Asthma, half reached primary completion within 27 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 58. This study's 8 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 455 studies reached it within 36 months; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 82.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 2, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
