Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety Study of Albuterol Spiromax® in Subjects With Asthma (NCT NCT01698320)

NCT ID: NCT01698320

Last Updated: 2015-08-19

Results Overview

Adverse events (AEs) summarized in this table are those that began or worsened after treatment with study drug (treatment-emergent AEs). An adverse event was defined in the protocol as any untoward medical occurrence that develops or worsens in severity during the conduct of a clinical study and does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the study drug. Severity was rated by the investigator on a scale of mild, moderate and severe, with severe= an AE which prevents normal daily activities. Relation of AE to treatment was determined by the investigator. Serious AEs include death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, OR an important medical event that jeopardized the patient and required medical intervention to prevent the previously listed serious outcomes.

All Enrolled Subjects
Includes subjects who were enrolled in study and participated in the single-blind (subjects were blinded) run-in period in which subjects used the inhaler with placebo and maintained the diary for about one week prior to randomization and starting the 12-week double-blind period.
Placebo MDPI-Albuterol MDPI
During the 12-week double-blind period, participants take 2 inhalations of placebo MDPI (multi-dose dry powder inhaler), four times a day (QID) at approximately 7:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 5:00 PM, and bedtime. The double-blind period is followed by a 40-week open-label period in which all study participants take albuterol MDPI 90 micrograms/inhalation, 2 inhalations every 4-6 hours as needed (PRN) and, if applicable, 2 inhalations 15-30 minutes prior to sports/exercise.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 52

Device In Vitro Evaluations - All used study inhalers will be collected and a random selection of inhalers will be tested as follows: * Fifty (50) Albuterol Spiromax® inhalers used during weeks 0-12 will be randomly selected for in vitro testing * Fifty (50) Albuterol Spiromax® inhalers used during weeks 12-52 will be randomly selected for in vitro performance testing

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 52

Daily AM PEF will be recorded throughout the duration of the study to provide information on the subject's asthma status in order to assist in distinguishing between the use of back-up rescue medication related to an increased need for asthma symptom relief from that related to an issue with the Albuterol Spiromax® rescue inhaler.
