Marketed by Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
NCT00635505 · Phase 3 · terminated
In this trial, Proventil-HFA is the established reference product that the investigational Armstrong's albuterol-HFA is being compared against, rather than the agent under primary evaluation itself, and no results have been posted yet.
GW642444M
Developed by GlaxoSmithKline
NCT00600171 · Phase 2 · completed
The study was randomized and double-blind, compared five GW642444M doses with placebo, and included 614 randomized participants. Its primary lung-function endpoint was a surrogate measure rather than a direct clinical outcome, and the results were mixed across doses: the 12.5, 25, and 50 microgram doses outperformed placebo, while the 3 and 6.25 microgram doses did not.
