Recruiting PHASE2 Asthma

Tests treatment safety and results for Asthma

Official title Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Safety and Tolerability of Glycopyrronium (Bromide) in Children (6 to Less Than 12 Years) With Asthma

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05222529

What this study is testing

What is Glycopyrronium bromide 25ug?

Glycopyrronium bromide 25ug is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for asthma.

Also referred to as NVA237.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The purpose of this study is to characterize the bronchodilator effect, systemic exposure and safety/tolerability of two different doses of inhaled glycopyrronium, when compared to placebo. Outcome of this study will be used to determine the dose of inhaled glycopyrronium for the development of fixed dose combination indacaterol/mometasone/glycopyrronium (QVM149) for children aged 6 to less than 12 years old with moderate to severe asthma.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • Time commitment: about 10 weeks
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
