About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group, Multicentre Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Fluticasone Furoate/Vilanterol Trifenatate (FF/VI) Inhalation Powder Delivered Once Daily for 12 Weeks in the Treatment of Asthma in Adolescent and Adult Subjects of Asian Ancestry Currently Treated With Low to Mid-strength Inhaled Corticosteroid or Low-strength Combination Therapy.

A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group multicentre study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fluticasone furoate/vilanterol trifenatate (FF/VI) inhalation powder delivered once daily for 12 weeks in the treatment of asthma in adolescent and adult subjects of Asian ancestry currently treated with lowe to mid-strength inhaled corticosteroid or low-strength combination therapy.

Read the detailed description

This will be a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel group, multi-centre study. At Visit 1 (Screening Visit) subjects who meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will enter a two week run-in period. Subjects will remain on their current ICS therapy throughout the run-in period. At the end of the run-in period (Visit 2) subjects meeting the Randomisation criteria will enter a 12 week treatment period and receive one of the two following treatments: 1) FF/VI (100/25mcg) administered once daily in the evening via a Novel Dry Powder Inhaler (NDPI) 2) Placebo administered once daily in the evening via a NDPI In addition, all subjects will be supplied with albuterol/salbutamol inhalation aerosol to be used as required to treat asthma symptoms.

Subjects who have not met the randomisation criteria at Visit 2 will be withdrawn from the study.

Subjects meeting the randomisation criteria will be randomized to one of the two treatment groups and will attend the clinic for 3 on-treatment visits at Week 4 (Visit 3), Week 8 (Visit 4) and Week 12 (Visit 5). Subjects will receive treatment for 12 weeks. A Follow-up Visit or phone call (Visit 6) will take place 1 week after completing study medication. All clinic visits will take place in the morning. Subjects will participate in the study for a maximum of 15 weeks (Screening to Follow-up inclusive). A subject is regarded to have completed the study if they complete all phases of the study (Screening, treatment, Follow-up).

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Change From Baseline (BL) in Daily Evening (PM) Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) Averaged Over the 12-week Treatment Period

    Peak Expiratory Flow is defined as the maximum airflow during a forced expiration beginning with the lungs fully inflated. The Baseline value was derived from the last 7 days of the daily diary prior to the randomization of the participant. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value of the averaged daily PM PEF over the 12-week Treatment Period minus the Baseline value. Analysis was performed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) with covariates of Baseline, region, sex, age, and treatment.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1-12 (up to Day 84)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Daily Morning (AM) PEF Averaged Over the 12-week Treatment Period

    PEF is defined as the maximum airflow during a forced expiration beginning with the lungs fully inflated. The Baseline value was derived from the last 7 days of the daily diary prior to the randomization of the participant. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value of the averaged daily AM PEF over the 12-week Treatment Period minus the Baseline value. A Repeated Measures analysis adjusted for Baseline, region, sex, age, treatment, week, week by Baseline interaction, and week by treatment interaction was used.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1-12 (up to Day 84)

  2. Mean Change From Baseline in the Percentage of Rescue-free 24- Hour (hr) Periods During the 12-week Treatment Period

    The number of inhalations of rescue albuterol/salbutamol inhalation aerosol (medication used to relieve symptoms immediately) used during the day and night was recorded by the participants in a daily diary. A 24-hour period in which a participant's responses to both the morning and evening assessments indicated no use of rescue medication was considered as rescue free. Participants who were rescue free for 24-hour periods during the 12-week Treatment Period were assessed. The Baseline value was derived from the last 7 days of the daily diary prior to the randomization of the participant. Change from Baseline is calculated as the average value during the 12-week Treatment Period minus the value at Baseline. Analysis was performed using ANCOVA with covariates of Baseline, region, sex, age, and treatment.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1-12 (up to Day 84)

  3. Mean Change From Baseline in the Percentage of Symptom-free 24- Hour (hr) Periods During the 12-week Treatment Period

    Asthma symptoms were recorded in a daily diary by the participants every day in the morning and evening before taking any rescue or study medication and before PEF measurement. A 24-hour period in which a participant's responses to both the morning and evening assessments indicated no symptoms was considered as symptom free. The Baseline value was derived from the last 7 days of the daily diary prior to the randomization of the participant. Participants who were symptom free for 24-hour periods during the 12-week Treatment Period were assessed. Change from Baseline is calculated as the average value during the 12-week Treatment Period minus the value at Baseline. Analysis was performed using ANCOVA with covariates of Baseline, region, sex, age, and treatment.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1-12 (up to Day 84)

  4. Change From Baseline in Total Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) Score at Week 12

    The AQLQ is a disease-specific, self-administered quality of life questionnaire developed to evaluate the impact of asthma treatments on the quality of life of asthma sufferers. The AQLQ contains 32 items in 4 domains: activity limitation (11 items), symptoms (12 items), emotional function (5 items), and environmental stimuli (4 items). The 32 items of the questionnaire are averaged to produce one overall quality of life score. The response format consists of a 7-point scale, where a value of 1 indicates "total impairment" and a value of 7 indicates "no impairment." Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 12 value minus the Baseline value. Analysis was performed using ANCOVA with covariates of Baseline, region, sex, age, and treatment.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12
