NCT00633217 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the FSC HFA MDI in subjects with COPD. The dose of FSC HFA MDI to be evaluated corresponds to the dose of FSC DISKUS (250/50mcg twice-daily) that is indicated for the treatment of COPD associated with chronic bronchitis in the US. This study will last up to approximately 15 weeks, and subjects will visit the clinic 5 times. Subjects will be given breathing tests and will record their peak expiratory flow measurements daily on diary cards. All study related medicines and medical examinations will be provided at no cost. The FSC HFA MDI used in this study has been approved by FDA for use in asthma while the FSC 250/50mcg DISKUS has been approved for use in asthma and COPD.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00633217
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00633217 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 4, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 247 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is GlaxoSmithKline, which has 558 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Fluticasone Propionate/Salmeterol DISKUS 250/50mcg is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00633217 reports 16 study locations spanning 9 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include South Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
