Trial Outcomes & Findings for A 12-Month Study Comparing Fluticasone Propionate/Salmeterol (ADVAIR) DISKUS Combination Product 250/50mcg BID To Fluticasone Propionate (FLOVENT) DISKUS 250 mcg BID In Symptomatic Subjects With Asthma (NCT NCT00452699)

NCT ID: NCT00452699

Last Updated: 2016-12-08

Results Overview

Pulmonary function was measured by forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), which is the volume of air exhaled from the lungs in one second. Change from baseline was calculated as the average of the Week 1 through Week 52 values minus the baseline value.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 1 through Week 52

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: all participants randomized to study drug

Pulmonary function was measured by forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), which is the volume of air exhaled from the lungs in one second. Change from baseline was calculated as the average of the Week 1 through Week 52 values minus the baseline value.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 1 through Week 52

Population: Participants in the ITT Population who had a minimum of 1 week PEF values

Morning (AM) peak expiratory flow (PEF) is defined as the maximum volume of air exhaled in liters per minute. Change from baseline was calculated as the average of the Week 1 through Week 52 values minus the baseline value.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 1 through Week 52

Population: Participants in the ITT Population for which at least 1 week of diary data were provided

A symptom-free day was defined as a day without asthma symptoms, as measured via the daily asthma symptom score (measuring symptoms during the day and previous night) on a 6-point scale (ranging from 0 to 5). A symptom score of 0=no symptoms, 1=symptoms for one short period, 2=symptoms for two or more short periods, 3=symptoms that did not affect normal daily activities, 4=symptoms that did affect normal daily activities, 5=symptoms so severe that daily activities could not be performed. Change from baseline was calculated as the average of the Week 1-Week 52 values minus the baseline value.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 1 through Week 52

Population: ITT Population

The rate of asthma attacks was defined as the mean number of attacks per participant per year. An asthma attack was defined as a 20% decrease in AM PEF, a 70% increase in albuterol use, or the occurrence of an asthma exacerbation requiring oral steroids or hospitalization.
