Trial Outcomes & Findings for Relative Potency of Formoterol Novolizer® 12 µg Compared to Formoterol Aerolizer® 12 µg (NCT NCT01256086)

NCT ID: NCT01256086

Last Updated: 2022-02-11

Results Overview

The primary variable is the methacholine PC20 after inhalation of study medication; the PC20 is the concentration of methacholine that - despite protection by study medication - causes a 20% fall in FEV1 compared to the pre-methacholine (post-saline) level of the given study day.

Participant Flow

First patient was enrolled in December 2010, last patient completed in July 2011

During screening phase (within 14 days before but at latest 2 days before randomisation), 2 methacholine tests on separate days (with and without pre-medication) were performed to check the suitability of the patients.
