Comparing emergency spacers to traditional spacers for delivering asthma medication

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the performance, feasibility, and safety of emergency spacers versus traditional spacers for delivering aerosolized drugs using pressurized metered-dose inhalers (pMDI) in both young children and adult asthmatic patients. The study aims to measure the total emitted dose from pMDI, assess pharmacokinetic parameters, and evaluate lung and systemic bioavailability of the aerosol delivered by different spacers. Additionally, it will analyze lung function post-delivery and monitor safety outcomes. By comparing the effectiveness of various spacers, the trial seeks to improve asthma management through better medication delivery.
