ClinicaliQ Trial Snapshot
  • A Study to Compare the Relative Potency of Salbutamol Administered Via Metered Dose Inhalers (MDI) Containing Propellants HFA-152a to HFA-134a in Mild Asthmatics Aged 18 to 65 Inclusive — Recruiting • Phase I • Respiratory / COPD / Asthma • NCT06433921.
  • What is being tested: The study compares the effectiveness and potency of salbutamol (albuterol) delivered via metered dose inhalers using two different propellant systems—HFA-152a (newer) versus HFA-134a (established)—by measuring airway responsiveness using methacholine challenge testing in mild asthmatic patients.
  • Patient eligibility: The trial includes adults aged 18-65 years with mild asthma, establishing a defined population for evaluating propellant formulation differences in a clinically relevant but controlled patient group.

What This Trial Is Studying

The primary objectives of the study are: Part 1: to characterize the potency and variability of dose response on efficacy (Provocative concentration of methacholine causing at least a 20% fall in forced expiratory volume (FEV1) [PC20]) of salbutamol administered via MDI with salbutamol HFA-134a or salbutamol HFA-152a in participants with mild asthma. Part 2: to compare the comparative dose response on efficacy (PC20) of salbutamol when administered via MDI with salbutamol HFA-134a or salbutamol HFA-152a in participants with mild asthma.

Daily maintenance low-dose ICS + Long-acting beta-2 agonist (LABA) therapy (low-dose ICS defined as 100-250 μg/day fluticasone propionate or equivalent as defined by GINA [GINA, 2023]) plus or minus SABA, which is anticipated to remain stable for the duration of the study. 6. No severe asthma exacerbations within 6 months prior to screening and ≤1 severe exacerbation during the 12 months prior to screening. 7. Pre-bronchodilator FEV1…
