NCT01194700

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of plastic spacers and breath actuated spacers on respirable drug delivery of combination steroid inhaler (Seretide/Advair) and whether electrostatic charge within plastic spacers has a clinically relevant impact on the inhaled steroid delivery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Overnight Urinary Cortisol creatinine ratio

    This outcome measure evaluates the amount of cortisol being suppressed after inhaled steroid administration. This helps to assess the systemic effect of steroid inhalation and therefore the propensity for adrenal suppression which is a noted adverse effect with high dose inhaled steroids

    within 24 hours after study drug inhalation

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Serum Potassium

    60 minutes post treatment

Study Arms (4)
