Trial Outcomes & Findings for Long-Term Safety Study of Fluticasone Propionate (Fp) Multidose Dry Powder Inhaler (MDPI) and Fluticasone Propionate/Salmeterol (FS) MDPI in Patients With Persistent Asthma (NCT NCT02175771)

NCT ID: NCT02175771

Last Updated: 2021-11-09

Results Overview

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. Relationship 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.

Participant Flow

Of the 1087 patients screened, 758 patients at 103 investigational centers in the US met entry criteria. 331 patients were not enrolled: 267 due to inclusion/exclusion criteria, 21 withdrew consent, 9 were lost to follow up, 4 had an adverse event, and 30 patients had reason of 'other' or missing.

Participants in each strength of the ICS monotherapy cohort were randomly assigned in a 3:1 distribution to either the Fp MDPI or FLOVENT HFA treatment arm. Participants in each strength of the ICS/LABA combination cohort were randomly assigned in a 3:1 distribution to either the FS MDPI or ADVAIR DISKUS treatment arm.

Enrolled Patients
During the run-in period, patients continued using their current asthma medications (ie, inhaled corticosteroid and/or other controller therapies) except for their short acting beta2-agonist (SABA), which was replaced by the sponsor-provided study rescue medication.
Fp MDPI 100 mcg
Participants took 1 inhalation using a multidose dry powder inhaler (MDPI) twice a day of fluticasone propionate (Fp) for a total daily dose of 200 mcg Fp for 26 weeks. This was the mid-strength experimental intervention in the inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) cohort. Albuterol/salbutamol HFA metered dose inhaler (MDI) was supplied to participants throughout the study to be used as needed as a rescue medication.
FLOVENT HFA 110 mcg
Participants took 2 inhalations using a hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) inhaler twice a day of fluticasone propionate (Fp) for a total daily dose of 440 mcg Fp for 26 weeks. This was the mid-strength active comparator intervention in the inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) cohort.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 to Week 26 of the Treatment Period

Population: Safety population which included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of randomized study drug. The randomization allocation ratio of 3:1 (study drug: active comparator) should be taken into account when comparing treatment groups within treatment/strength cohorts

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. Relationship 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.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 1 pre-treatment), Weeks 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22 26, Endpoint

Population: Safety population

Oropharyngeal examinations for visual evidence of oral candidiasis were conducted at each visit by a qualified healthcare professional. Any visual evidence of oral candidiasis during the oropharyngeal exam was evaluated by obtaining and analyzing a swab of the suspect area. This outcomes indicates how many participants had positive swab test results. The total number of participants who had oropharyngeal exams at each timepoint are specified in the timepoint field. Appropriate therapy was to be initiated immediately at the discretion of the investigator and was not to be delayed for culture confirmation. Participants with a culture-positive infection could continue participation in the study on appropriate anti-infective therapy, provided this therapy was not prohibited by the protocol.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 1, pre-treatment), Weeks 14 and 26 and early termination visit if applicable

Population: A urine cortisol analysis subset of the safety population was defined that included participants whose urine samples did not have confounding factors at any visit that could affect the interpretation of the results.

Samples for 24-hour urine cortisol were collected at baseline (Day 1, pretreatment), and Weeks 14 and 26. For participants requiring early termination (ET), this evaluation was performed at the ET visit. For participants requiring ET for safety reasons, the visit was not delayed in order to collect the 24-hour urine cortisol. The analysis is based on a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) model with adjustment for visit, treatment, and a treatment\*visit interaction. The urine cortisol result is log transformed prior to analysis and the results are back transformed after modeling. An unstructured covariance matrix is used in the MMRM model.

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) included all participants in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had at least 1 post-baseline trough FEV1 assessment.

Spirometry measurements were obtained before the AM dose of study drug for the randomization visit (Day 1), at each of the treatment visits and at the early termination visit if applicable. At each visit where FEV1 was assessed, the highest acceptable results from each session were recorded. The analysis is based on a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) with adjustment for baseline FEV1, sex, age, (pooled) investigational center, visit, treatment, and treatment-by-visit. An unstructured covariance matrix is used in the MMRM model.
