salbutamol
Developed by GlaxoSmithKline
NCT03528577 · Phase 3 · completed
The study randomized 128 participants in a quadruple-blind, four-period crossover design with active and placebo comparators. However, its primary endpoint was a pharmacodynamic surrogate rather than a hard clinical outcome. Results were not posted at the time of grading; the key result shown was recorded subsequently from the registry record.
Next expected readout: June 2027 · NCT06473779 (registry estimate)
Salbutamol HFA-134a
Developed by GlaxoSmithKline
NCT06261957 · Phase 3 · completed
The study randomized 477 adults and used quadruple blinding with an active salbutamol comparator. Its primary endpoint was the number of participants with adverse events, but no results or statistical comparison are posted, so the outcome is currently unknown.
Next expected readout: February 2027 · NCT06433921 (registry estimate)
