Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Tiotropium 5 µg/Day Delivered Via the Respimat® Inhaler Over 48 Weeks in Patients With Severe Persistent Asthma on Top of Usual Care (Study I) (NCT NCT00772538)

NCT ID: NCT00772538

Last Updated: 2014-08-18

Results Overview

Peak FEV1 0-3h response was defined as the difference between the maximum FEV1 measured within the first 3 hours post dosing after a treatment period of 24 weeks and the FEV1 baseline measurement (10 minutes before the first dose of trial medication). Mixed Model Repeated Measure (MMRM) results. Means are adjusted for treatment, centre, visit, baseline, treatment\*visit and baseline\*visit.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 24 weeks

Population: All patients from Full Analysis Set (FAS) FAS is defined as all patients in the treated set who have baseline data and at least one on-treatment efficacy value.

Peak FEV1 0-3h response was defined as the difference between the maximum FEV1 measured within the first 3 hours post dosing after a treatment period of 24 weeks and the FEV1 baseline measurement (10 minutes before the first dose of trial medication). Mixed Model Repeated Measure (MMRM) results. Means are adjusted for treatment, centre, visit, baseline, treatment\*visit and baseline\*visit.

Severe asthma exacerbations were pre-defined as all asthma exacerbations that required treatment with systemic (including oral) corticosteroids for at least 3 days or (in case of ongoing and pre-existing systemic corticosteroid therapy) that required at least a doubling of the previous daily dose of systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 days.

Asthma exacerbations (including severe, non-severe; symptomatic, asymptomatic) were pre-defined as an episode of progressive increase in 1 or more asthma symptoms (e.g. shortness of breath, cough, wheezing, chest tightness or some combination of these symptoms). Additionally, decrease of patients best PEF a.m. of 30 percent or more from the patients mean PEF a.m. for at least 2 consecutive days was considered to be an objective marker of asthma exacerbation.

MMRM results. Means are adjusted for treatment, centre, visit, baseline, treatment\*visit and baseline\*visit.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and last 7 days before week 24 visit

Population: All patients from FAS.

Weekly means obtained during the last 7 days before week 24 visit were compared (measured by patients at home using the asthma monitor device). The response is defined as the change of the weekly mean from the baseline weekly mean. MMRM results. Means are adjusted for treatment, centre, visit, baseline, treatment\*visit and baseline\*visit.

Population: All patients from FAS.

Weekly means obtained during the last 7 days before week 24 visit were compared. The response is defined as the change of the weekly mean from the baseline weekly mean. The use of PRN salbutamol (albuterol rescue medication) is determined by the number of puffs of rescue therapy used per day. MMRM results. Means are adjusted for treatment, centre, visit, baseline, treatment\*visit and baseline\*visit.

POST_HOC outcome

Timeframe: 24 weeks, 48 weeks

Population: FAS of combined data from the two twin trials 205.416 (NCT00772538) and 205.417 (NCT00776984)

The responder rate as assessed by the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) determined at 24-weeks and 48-weeks (on combined data from the two twin trials 205.416 (NCT00772538) and 205.417 (NCT00776984)). A patient was considered to be a responder if he or she was reported with an improvement (decrease) in the ACQ total score of at least 0.5 points. The ACQ total score was calculated as the mean of the responses to 7 questions and was analysed as an absolute value. The score ranges from 0 (no impairment) to 6 (maximum impairment). This outcome definition is taken from the primary outcome definition for the twin trials 205.418 (NCT01172808) and 205.419 (NCT01172821) of the same development program.
