Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Fluticasone Furoate Inhalation Powder in the Treatment of Asthma in Adults and Adolescents (NCT NCT01159912)

NCT ID: NCT01159912

Last Updated: 2017-11-09

Results Overview

FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. Trough FEV1 is defined as the clinic visit (pre-bronchodilator and pre-dose) FEV1 measurement taken at the clinic visit at the end of the dosing interval. Pre-dose and pre-rescue albuterol/salbutamol trough FEV1 was measured electronically by spirometry in the evening at the Baseline through Week 24 clinic visits. The highest of 3 technically acceptable measurements was recorded. Baseline was the pre-dose value obtained at Visit 2. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 24 value minus the Baseline value. Analysis was performed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with covariates of Baseline, region, sex, age, and treatment. The last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used to impute missing data, in which the last non-missing post-Baseline on-treatment measurement at scheduled clinic visits was used to impute the missing measurements.

Participant Flow

One participant received treatment (placebo) but was not randomized. Thus, 350 participants were enrolled in the study; however, only 349 were randomized.

Participants (par.) meeting all inclusion criteria/no exclusion criteria during Visit 1 entered a 4-week Run-in Period (RIP). At Visit 2 (end of RIP), par. meeting the eligibility criteria were randomized to the 24-week Double blind Treatment Period. 1036 par. were screened, 349 were randomized, and 343 received \>=1 dose of study treatment.

Population: ITT Population. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed.

The number of inhalations of rescue bronchodilator, albuterol/salbutamol inhalation aerosol, used during the day and night was recorded by the participants in a daily electronic diary (eDiary). Similarly, asthma symptoms were recorded in a daily eDairy by the participants every day in the morning and evening before taking any rescue or study medication and before the peak expiratory flow measurement. A 24-hour period in which a participant's responses to both the morning and evening assessments indicated no use of rescue medication was considered to be rescue free. The Baseline value was derived from the last 7 days of the daily eDiary prior to the randomization of the participant. Change from Baseline was calculated as the averaged value during the 24-week Treatment Period minus the Baseline value. Analysis was performed using ANCOVA with covariates of Baseline, region, sex, age, and treatment.

PEF is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximum airflow during a forced expiration beginning with the lungs fully inflated. PEF was measured by the participants using a hand-held electronic peak flow meter each morning and evening prior to the dose of study medication and any rescue albuterol/salbutamol inhalation aerosol use. Trough evening PEF is the PM PEF measured approximately 24 hours after the last evening administration of study drug. Change from Baseline (defined as the last 7 days prior to randomization of the participants) was calculated as the value of the averaged daily trough PM PEF over 12 weeks and 24 weeks of the 24-week Treatment Period (at Weeks 12 and 24) minus the Baseline value. Analysis was performed using ANCOVA with covariates of Baseline, region, sex, age, and treatment.

Different participants may have been analyzed at different time points, so the overall number of participants analyzed reflects everyone in the ITT Population.

The AQLQ is a disease-specific, self-administered quality of life questionnaire used to evaluate the impact of asthma treatments on the quality of life of asthma sufferers. The AQLQ for 12 years and older (AQLQ \[+12\]) is a modified version of the AQLQ for use in asthma patients between the ages of 12 and 70. The AQLQ contains 32 items in 4 domains: activity limitation (11 items), symptoms (12 items), emotional function (5 items), and environmental stimuli (4 items). For the 32 items on the questionnaire, the response format consists of a seven-point scale, where a value of 1 indicates "total impairment" and a value of 7 indicates "no impairment." The AQLQ total score is defined as the average of the scores from all 32 questions; thus, the total score ranges from 1 (indicates "total impairment") to 7 (indicates "no impairment"). Baseline was the total score obtained at Visit 3. Change from Baseline was calculated as the total score at Weeks 12 and 24 minus the total score at Baseline.
