What this phase means
Phase 1: the first tests in people. The main question is safety and dose, not whether it cures the condition. Groups are small. Side effects are watched closely.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Salbutamol HFA-152a, Salbutamol HFA-134a, or Placebo. The registry lists allocation as randomized. The primary objectives of the study are: Part 1: to characterize the potency and variability of dose response on how well it works (Provocative concentration of methacholine causing at least a 20% fall in forced expiratory volume (FEV1) \[PC20\]) of salbutamol administered via MDI with salbutamol HFA-134a or salbutamol HFA-152a in participants with mild asthma.
They plan to enroll about 84 people at Manchester. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill) plus check-ins.
