Trial Outcomes & Findings for Bi 671800 in Asthmatic Patients on Inhaled Corticosteroids (NCT NCT01090024)

NCT ID: NCT01090024

Last Updated: 2022-05-11

Results Overview

Trough FEV1 percent (%) predicted was defined as the mean of the morning and the evening FEV1 % predicted daily trough value at the end of the dosing interval. For the morning (evening) measurements, when FEV1 % predicted was available at both 25 minutes and 10 minutes prior to morning (evening) test-drug inhalation, morning (evening) trough FEV1 % predicted was the mean of these two morning (evening) pre-inhalation measurements. Trough FEV1 % predicted change from baseline after 4 weeks of treatment was defined as the change from baseline in the mean of the morning and the evening trough FEV1 % predicted.

Participant Flow

This randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study was to investigate efficacy and safety of 3×4-week treatment periods of oral BI 671800 Ethylenediamine 200 milligram (mg) twice or 400 mg once daily administered in the morning or evening, in symptomatic asthma patients on inhaled fluticasone propionate Metered Dose Inhaler.

All subjects were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial. Subjects attended a specialist site which ensured that they (the subjects) strictly met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria. Subjects were not to be allocated to a treatment group if any of the entry criteria were violated.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At baseline and 4 weeks

Population: Full analysis set (FAS): All patients randomized, treated with at least one dose of blinded study drug, with a baseline Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) value and at least one on-treatment trough FEV1 value. The FAS is the basis for the intention-to-treat analysis. Participants with non-missing endpoint measurements were included.

Trough FEV1 percent (%) predicted was defined as the mean of the morning and the evening FEV1 % predicted daily trough value at the end of the dosing interval. For the morning (evening) measurements, when FEV1 % predicted was available at both 25 minutes and 10 minutes prior to morning (evening) test-drug inhalation, morning (evening) trough FEV1 % predicted was the mean of these two morning (evening) pre-inhalation measurements. Trough FEV1 % predicted change from baseline after 4 weeks of treatment was defined as the change from baseline in the mean of the morning and the evening trough FEV1 % predicted.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At baseline and 4 weeks

Population: Full analysis set (FAS): All patients randomized, treated with at least one dose of blinded study drug, with a baseline Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) value and at least one on-treatment trough FEV1 value. The FAS is the basis for the intention-to-treat analysis. Participants with non-missing endpoint measurements were included.

The Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) consists of 6 patient self-evaluated questions and 1 by clinical staff with each question in 7-point scale. The items are equally weighted and the ACQ score is the mean of 7 items and ranges between 0 (well controlled) and 6 (extremely poorly controlled). Mean scores of less than or equal to 0.75 indicate well-controlled asthma, scores between 0.76 and less than 1.5 indicate partly controlled asthma, and a score greater than or equal to 1.5 indicates uncontrolled asthma.
