Safety and Efficacy of the Inspiromatic Inhaler in Comparison to the Aerolizer Inhaler When Delivering Formoterol

October 17, 2012 updated by: Guy Steuer

Double Blind Placebo Controlled Trial Checking the Safety and Efficacy of the Inspiromatic Inhaler in Comparison to the Aerolizer Inhaler When Delivering Formoterol

Double-blind study, randomized, controlled, and crossover. Study recruited 30 volunteers with stable asthma aged 8-18 years. Participants will perform lung function as part of the routine follow-up then will receive a Foradil 12mcg either with an Aerolizer (a standard dry powder inhaler) or with the Inspiromatic (an active, breath synchronized innovative inhaler). 3-60 days later participants will receive the same drug through the other inhaler.

Pre and post treatment (15 min, 30 min, 60 min) Lung function results, drug levels in the blood, vital signs and side effects will be recorded.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Inspiromatic followed by Aerolizer
volunteers will perform lung function pre and post Formoterol (a bronchodilator) inhalation. They will use either the Inspiromatic dry powder inhalers the delivery device. 3-60 days later participants will receive the same drug through the Aerolizer dry powder inhaler.
Participants will receive Formoterol (Foradil) 12mcg via the Inspiromatic dry powder inhaler while performing lung function instead of getting it via the Foradil Aerolizer
Other Names:
  • Inspiromatic dry powder experimental inhaler
Active Comparator: Aerolizer followed by Inspiromatic
volunteers will perform lung function pre and post Formoterol (a bronchodilator) inhalation. They will use either the Aerolizer dry powder inhalers the delivery device. 3-60 days later participants will receive the same drug through the Inspiromatic dry powder inhaler.
Participants will receive Formoterol (Foradil) 12mcg via the Foradil Aerolizer inhaler while performing lung function as part of the and not differ from other routine follow-up
Other Names:
  • Foradil Inhaler
