About this study

Official title: A 26-Week Placebo-Controlled Efficacy and Safety Study of Mometasone Furoate/Formoterol Fumarate Combination Formulation Compared With Mometasone Furoate and Formoterol Monotherapy in Subjects With Persistent Asthma Previously Treated With Low-Dose Inhaled Glucocorticosteroids

This is a randomized, multi-center, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study, evaluating the efficacy of mometasone furoate/formoterol fumarate (MF/F) metered dose inhaler (MDI) versus MF for 26 weeks. Prior to the 26-week double-blind Treatment Period, participants will receive open-label (OL) MF MDI 100 mcg twice daily (BID) for 2 to 3 weeks during the Run-in Period. Efficacy will be measured by the Area Under the Curve from 0 to 12 hours [AUC](0-12 hours) of the change from Baseline to the Week 12 Endpoint in Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) and by the time-to-first severe asthma exacerbation across the 26-week treatment period.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean Area Under the Time Curve From 0 to 12 Hours (AUC(0-12 Hours)) of Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Forced Expiratory Volume (Liters) in 1 Second (FEV1)

    The average of the two predose FEV1 measurements (30 minutes prior to dosing and 0 hour, immediately prior to dosing) at the Baseline Visit were subtracted from each of the serial measurements over the 12-hour period. The AUC was calculated based on these changes from Baseline evaluations. The comparison was for MF/F vs MF. Standard deviation was pooled.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

  2. Median Time-to-first Severe Asthma Exacerbation Over the 26-week Treatment Period

    Severe asthma exacerbation refers to an occurrence of a decrease below 80% of Baseline in FEV1, a decrease below 70% of Baseline in PEF on 2 consecutive days or a clinical deterioration of asthma resulting in emergency treatment, hospitalization or treatment with asthma medication.

    Measured: Across the 26 week treatment period

  3. Number of Participants With at Least One Severe Asthma Exacerbation at Week 26

    Severe asthma exacerbation refers to an occurrence of a decrease below 80% of Baseline in FEV1, a decrease below 70% of Baseline in PEF on 2 consecutive days and or a clinical deterioration of asthma resulting in emergency treatment, hospitalization or treatment with asthma medication.

    Measured: Week 26

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change From Baseline to Week 26 in the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) Total Score

    ACQ consists of seven questions each scaled from 0 (best case) to 6 (worst case). The comparison was for MF/F vs placebo. Standard deviation was pooled.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 26

  2. Change From Baseline to Week 26 in Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire With Standarized Activities (AQLQ[S]) Total Score

    AQLQ(S) consists of 32 questions each scaled from 1 (worst case) to 7 (best case). The comparison was for MF/F vs placebo. Standard deviation was pooled.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 26

  3. Change From Baseline in Proportion of Nights Across the Treatment Period With Nocturnal Awakenings Due to Asthma Which Require Use of Short-acting Beta Agonists (SABA)

    Baseline is the proportion of nights of the last week (Days -7 to 1) prior to first dose with nocturnal awakenings. Scale is measured as 0 to 1 with 0=no awakenings to 1=awakenings every night. The comparison was for MF/F vs placebo. Standard deviation was pooled.

    Measured: Baseline to Endpoint

  4. Change From Baseline in AM FEV1 Pre-dose Assessment, or Trough FEV1, at Week 12

    Trough FEV1 is a measure of the end-of-dosing interval. The comparison was for MF/F vs F. Standard deviation was pooled.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

  5. AUC(0-12 Hour) of the Change From Baseline to Week 12 in FEV1 for Each Body Mass Index (BMI) Subgroup

    The average of the two predose FEV1 measurements (30 minutes prior to dosing and 0 hour, immediately prior to dosing) at the Baseline Visit were subtracted from each of the serial measurements over the 12-hour period. The AUC was calculated based on these changes from Baseline evaluations. BMI is a number calculated from a person's weight and height. The higher the number, the higher the amount of fat. The comparison was for MF/F vs placebo. Standard deviation was pooled.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Mometasone Furoate/Formoterol Fumarate Combination MDI 100/10 mcg BID, Mometasone Furoate MDI (MF MDI) and Formoterol Fumarate 10 mcg in people with Asthma, run by Organon and Co.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 21 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Oct 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean Area Under the Time Curve From 0 to 12 Hours (AUC(0-12 Hours)) of Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Forced Expiratory Volume (Liters) in 1 Second (FEV1) (time frame: Baseline to Week 12). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00383552, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 May 2024.
