Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of an Intravenous Drug in Pediatric Patients With Acute Asthma (0476-301) (NCT NCT00117338)

NCT ID: NCT00117338

Last Updated: 2024-05-10

Results Overview

Improvement in FEV1 as the time-weighted average change from baseline over 60 minutes following the end of study drug administration. Time-weighted average of the changes from baseline obtained over the 60 minutes (at 60, 45, 30 and 15) with the time interval between any measurement and the measurement prior to it used as the weighting factor.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and (time weighted average over) 60 Minutes

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS). The FAS population includes all randomized patients who received double-blind study drug, and with efficacy measurements both at baseline and at least one time point over the time interval considered.

Improvement in FEV1 as the time-weighted average change from baseline over 60 minutes following the end of study drug administration. Time-weighted average of the changes from baseline obtained over the 60 minutes (at 60, 45, 30 and 15) with the time interval between any measurement and the measurement prior to it used as the weighting factor.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 60 minutes

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS). The FAS population includes all randomized patients who received double-blind study drug, and with efficacy measurements both at baseline and at least one time point over the time interval considered.

Change from baseline in modified pulmonary index \[mPI\] score assessed 60 minutes following the end of study drug administration. mPI questionnaire scores each component on a scale of 0 to 3 (low to high) with a total possible score of 12. The components are respiratory rate, wheezing, prolongation of expiration (Inspiratory:Expiratory ratio), and accessory muscle use.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 120 minutes

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS). At least one post-randomization measurement obtained subsequent to at least one dose of study treatment was required for inclusion in the analysis of treatment failure endpoint. Baseline FEV1 measurement was also required to assess this endpoint since it was included in the model.

Treatment Failure is defined as a.) patients who required hospitalization, or b.) patients for whom a decision to discharge home has not been reached by 2 hours following the end of study drug administration.
