The Effect of Alcoholic-carrier Solutions Within Devices (HFA134a-MDI or Respimat®) on Breath Alcohol Measured by Ethylometer in Healthy Volunteers

NCT ID: NCT02264145

Last Updated: 2014-10-15

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1
• Total Enrollment: 20 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 1998-11-30

Brief Summary

The study objective is to determine the effect of the ethanolic solutions inhaled from the Metered dose inhaler (MDI) (15.5 mg, 31.2 mg and 62.4 mg of ethanol) and from Respimat® (18.4 of ethanol) on the breath alcohol measurements in healthy volunteers.

Secondary aim is to determine the linear dose-effect for the HFA 134a-MDI doses. An open, randomized, four-way-cross-over design is chosen. The randomization is balanced and stratified in accordance with predicted values of the volunteers of Total Lung Capacity (TLC)

• Volunteer is able to sign informed consent in accordance with Good Clinical Practice and local legislation
• Volunteers is able to be trained in the performance of technically satisfactory pulmonary function tests
• Volunteer is able to be trained in the correct use HFA-MDI, Respimat® and Ethylometer
• Affiliated to the National Social Security System
