Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety Study of FP MDPI Compared With FS MDPI in Adolescent and Adult Patients With Persistent Asthma (NCT NCT02141854)

NCT ID: NCT02141854

Last Updated: 2021-11-09

Results Overview

A subset of patients performed postdose serial spirometry. Data from these assessments were used to analyze the primary endpoint of baseline-adjusted FEV1 AUEC0-12h at week 12 using the trapezoidal rule based on actual time of measurement. It was standardized by dividing it by the number of hours between the start time of dose administration and the end time of the last nonmissing FEV1 measurement. The baseline FEV1 was the average of the 2 predose FEV1 measurements (30 and 10 minutes predose). If 1 of these was missing, the nonmissing value was used; if both were missing, baseline was treated as missing. Baseline-adjusted FEV1 was calculated as postdose FEV1 after subtracting the baseline FEV1 value.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 (predose, baseline), Week 12 and was performed at the following times relative to the administration of study drug (±5 minutes): 15 and 30 minutes and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours

Population: A subset of patients who performed postdose serial spirometry at the baseline visit and week 12.

A subset of patients performed postdose serial spirometry. Data from these assessments were used to analyze the primary endpoint of baseline-adjusted FEV1 AUEC0-12h at week 12 using the trapezoidal rule based on actual time of measurement. It was standardized by dividing it by the number of hours between the start time of dose administration and the end time of the last nonmissing FEV1 measurement. The baseline FEV1 was the average of the 2 predose FEV1 measurements (30 and 10 minutes predose). If 1 of these was missing, the nonmissing value was used; if both were missing, baseline was treated as missing. Baseline-adjusted FEV1 was calculated as postdose FEV1 after subtracting the baseline FEV1 value.

Timeframe: Day 1 (predose, baseline), Week 12

Population: If the patient inadvertently administered asthma medication/study drug at home on the AM of the visit, or if the patient took rescue medication within 6 hours of testing, the visit was rescheduled.

Trough FEV1 is a morning spirometry taken predose and pre-rescue bronchodilator. The baseline for predose FEV1 was defined as the average of the 30-minute and 10-minute predose measurements obtained at the randomization visit (Day 1).

Timeframe: Days -6 to Day 1 (predose, baseline), Day 1 (postdose) daily until Week 12

Population: Full analysis set

Morning PEF tests were performed before administration of study drug or rescue medications (data were excluded if the time of PEF measurement was more than 5 minutes after the dose time). The patient recorded the highest value of 3 measurements obtained in the patient diary. The baseline PEF was the average value of recorded (nonmissing) morning assessments over the 7 days prior to randomization on Day 1. For efficacy analyses of weekly average morning PEF measurements, values were the averages based on available data for that week.

Timeframe: Day 1 (predose, baseline), end of trial (up to week 12)

Population: Full analysis set of participants who contributed at least once to analysis and were \>= 18 years old

The AQLQ(S) (September 2010 version; patients aged ≥18 years) was self administered by the patients at the investigational center at the randomization visit and at Week 12 or end of trial. The questionnaire is a tool to measure the impact of asthma on a patient's quality of life (physical, emotional, social, and occupational) with a recall period of 2 weeks. The AQLQ(S) was administered only to patients 18 years and older. The 32 individual questions in the AQLQ were equally weighted. The overall AQLQ score was the mean of the responses to each of the 32 questions, and ranged from 1 to 7. A score 7.0 indicated that the patient had no impairments due to asthma and a score of 1.0 indicated severe impairment. Positive change from baseline scores indicate improved quality of life.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 of the Treatment Period (predose and postdose)

Population: Patients who did not achieve the target improvement were censored at the time of last serial spirometry assessment.

The baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) was the average of the 2 predose FEV1 measurements (30 and 10 minutes predose) on Day 1. If one of these was missing, the other measurement was used as baseline value. If both were missing, the baseline trough FEV1 was treated as missing. Time to target improvement (15% or 12%) was defined as the time elapsed from the time of first dose to the first time the target improvement in FEV1 was achieved. If an exact target increase was not achieved at a measured timepoint, then the time was estimated by linear interpolation between the timepoint when target was reached and the timepoint immediately before. Patients who did not achieve the target improvement were censored at the time of last serial spirometry assessment. Values of NA indicate the values could not be estimated which happened when the estimated probability of not achieving target is more than 50%.

An adverse event was defined 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.
