Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of MK-0476 in Adult Patients With Acute Asthma (0476-334) (NCT NCT00442338)

NCT ID: NCT00442338

Last Updated: 2022-02-02

Results Overview

The time weighted average change from Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) over the first 60 minutes after study drug administration (average change FEV1 (0-60 min)). Baseline (pre-allocation) was the last measurement obtained during the screening period.

Participant Flow

Phase III. Studied period: March 12, 2007 (date study drug was first administered to first participant) to August 1, 2007 (date study drug was last administered to last participant). Study was conducted at 31 clinical sites.

Participants with acute exacerbation of bronchial asthma received standard treatments of inhaled β-agonist or oxygen inhalation to treat the acute exacerbations during the 60 minutes in the screening period before the study randomization.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 60 minutes after study drug administration

Population: Per Protocol Set (PPS): subset of participants who comply with the protocol sufficiently to ensure that these data will likely exhibit effects of treatment, according to the underlying scientific model. Aminophylline 250 mg - 1 participant with no FEV1 data at 60 minutes was excluded from the analysis.

The time weighted average change from Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) over the first 60 minutes after study drug administration (average change FEV1 (0-60 min)). Baseline (pre-allocation) was the last measurement obtained during the screening period.
