Study summary

This is a randomized, double-blind, single-dose, placebo-controlled, 5-period, 5-treatment, crossover, multi-center study to assess the bronchodilatory effect and safety of 2 dose levels of Albuterol Sulfate Pressurized Inhalation Suspension (hereafter referred to as AS MDI), 90 μg and 180 μg, compared with placebo for AS MDI (hereafter referred to as Placebo MDI) and open-label Proventil® hydrofluoroalkane (HFA; hereafter referred to as Proventil) 90 μg and 180 μg in adult and adolescent subjects with mild to moderate asthma. This study design utilizes 10 treatment sequences.

Read the detailed description

This is a 5-period crossover study. Each Treatment Period is 1 day. Subjects will receive a single dose of randomized study drug at each of the 5 Treatment Visits (Visits 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6), with a 3- to 7-day Washout Period between Treatment Visits.

  • Demonstrate acceptable spirometry performance (ie, meet American Thoracic Society [ATS]/European Respiratory Society [ERS] acceptability/repeatability criteria
  • Pre-bronchodilator of ≥40 to \<90% predicted normal value after withholding SABA for ≥6 hours
  • Confirmed FEV1 reversibility to Ventolin, defined as a post-Ventolin increase in FEV1 of ≥15%

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • or other significant lung disease (eg, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, bronchiectasis with the need of treatment, cystic fibrosis, or bronchopulmonary dysplasia)
  • Oral use (any dose) within 6 weeks
  • Current smokers, former smokers with >10 pack-years history, or former smokers who stopped smoking \<6 months (including all forms of tobacco, e-cigarettes [vaping], and marijuana)

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

FEV1

From a breathing test (spirometry): how much air you can blow out in the first second. Often given as a percentage of what is expected for your age, height and sex.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

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 Dec 2017 to primary completion in Mar 2018, 3 months.

Results were first posted in Jul 2019, 1 year 3 months after primary completion.

Of 137 industry-sponsored phase 2 interventional studies under Asthma, half reached primary completion within 16 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 23. This study's 3 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 198 studies reached it within 20 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 41.

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 Jul 24, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
