Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Asthma in Children
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01468272
Lead Sponsor
Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A.
Brief Summary

This is a pharmacokinetic comparison of CHF 1535 50/6 NEXT DPI versus the free combination of Beclomethasone DPI and Formoterol DPI in children (5 to 11 years old) of a formulation already approved in adults.

Detailed Description

Pharmacokinetic study in asthmatic children 5 to 11 years old treated with either a fixed combination of beclomethasone 50 ug/unit dose plus formoterol fumarate 6 ug/unit dose via the NEXT DPI dry powder inhaler or a free combination of Beclomethasone 100 ug DPI and Formoterol 6 ug DPI according to a cross-over design.
