Published Studies Related to Atrovent (Ipratropium)
The effect of administrative cessation of the use of ipratropium bromide in the treatment of acute asthma attacks in the emergency department. [2011.12] Background.
Inhaled salbutamol plus ipratropium in moderate and severe asthma crises in children. [2011.04] BACKGROUND: The combination of inhaled beta(2) agonists and anticholinergics is recommended for children with acute asthma, although there are few randomized controlled trials. The aim of the study was to determine whether salbutamol plus ipratropium bromide improves oxygenation and lung function and reduces the frequency of hospitalization in children with asthma crises... CONCLUSIONS: Salbutamol plus ipratropium bromide improves lung function in asthmatic children with moderate to severe asthma crises, independently of age. The effect is greater in children with severe crises, with a substantial reduction in the need for hospitalization.
Levalbuterol versuss levalbuterol plus ipratropium in the treatment of severe acute asthma. [2010.12] BACKGROUND: The National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) Expert Panel Report 3 guidelines advise the addition of ipratropium bromide to short-acting beta-agonist therapy for the treatment of patients with severe acute asthma exacerbation... CONCLUSION: We were unable to demonstrate superiority of adding ipratropium to levalbuterol in alleviating obstruction as measured by FEV or in decreasing the need for hospitalization among adult patients presenting to the ED with acute severe asthma exacerbation.
Functional response to inhaled salbutamol and/or ipratropium bromide in Ascaris suum-sensitised cats with allergen-induced bronchospasms. [2010.10] Knowledge about the use of inhaled bronchodilators in cats with so-called 'feline asthma' is limited and relies on the experience of clinicians treating these patients. A randomised controlled four-way crossover study was therefore designed to compare the effects of salbutamol (SAL, 100 mug), ipratropium bromide (IB, 20 mug) and a combination of both (SAL/IB, 100 mug/20 mug), delivered through a pressurised metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) connected to a spacing chamber, on allergen-induced bronchospasms in five Ascaris suum (AS)-sensitised cats...
Efficacy and safety of ipratropium bromide/albuterol delivered via Respimat inhaler versus MDI. [2010.08] We compared the efficacy and safety of ipratropium bromide/albuterol delivered via Respimat inhaler, a novel propellant-free inhaler, versus chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-metered dose inhaler (MDI) and ipratropium Respimat inhaler in patients with COPD. This was a multinational, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, 12-week, parallel-group, active-controlled study...
Clinical Trials Related to Atrovent (Ipratropium)
Trial to Determine the Comparability of Ipratropium Bromide Hydrofluoroalkane (HFA)-134a Inhalation Aerosol to ATROVENT� Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) Inhalation Aerosol, in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) [Completed]
The objective of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetic comparability of 84 µg
ipratropium bromide HFA-134a inhalation aerosol and 84 µg ATROVENT® CFC Inhalation Aerosol
in COPD patients
Effectiveness of Ipratropium Bromide in Preventing Exercise-induced Bronchoconstriction in Athletes [Completed]
This will be a double-blind placebo-controlled study in which we plan to study 40
competitive endurance athletes. We will conduct an exercise test to evaluate maximal oxygen
uptake and 2 exercise challenge tests to provoke EIA. Prior to the exercise challenge tests
the athletes will randomly receive inhaled placebo or inhaled ipratropium bromide. We will
compare the athletes' airway response to the exercise challenge with and without the active
drug.
Efficacy and Safety of Tiotropium and Atrovent in Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) [Completed]
To compare the bronchodilator efficacy and safety of tiotropium inhalation capsules (18 µg
once daily) and Atrovent® MDI (2 puffs of 20µg q. i.d.) among Filipino patients with COPD
Study to Assess the Effect of Salbutamol and Ipratropium Bromide in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients [Completed]
The objectives of this study are to assess the effect of salbutamol in comparison with
ipratropium bromide on the geometry of central and peripheral airways and to correlate
spirometric indices with the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based calculated airway
volumes and resistances for both compounds.
Safety and Efficacy of Two Different Doses of Ipratropium Bromide Versus ATROVENT® Inhalation Aerosol in Adults With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [Completed]
The objective of this study is to confirm that chronic dosing of 20 mcg and 40 mcg of
ipratropium bromide, administered via the RESPIMAT device, demonstrates clinical
comparability and similar safety profiles to the 36 mcg dose of ATROVENT® Inhalation Aerosol
(containing chlorinated fluorocarbons (CFC)) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD). The efficacy and safety profiles of the two doses administered via the
RESPIMAT device will also be compared to their respective placebo groups
