Trial Outcomes & Findings for An 8-week Dose Ranging Study of CHF 718 pMDI in Asthmatic Subjects (NCT NCT03084718)

NCT ID: NCT03084718

Last Updated: 2021-12-14

Results Overview

Change from baseline in pre-dose morning FEV1 (average of pre-dose FEV1 measurements) at Week 8. Spirometry, used to measure FEV1, was performed according to internationally accepted standards. Definitions: Baseline=Baseline values for pre-dose FEV1 were the average of measurements taken at V2 (Week 0) at 45 minutes and 15 minutes pre-dose; FEV1=Forced expiratory volume in the 1st second;

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 8

Population: Intention to treat: All randomized patients who received at least one dose of the study treatment and with at least one available evaluation of efficacy after baseline (primary or secondary efficacy variables) after the baseline.

Change from baseline in pre-dose morning FEV1 (average of pre-dose FEV1 measurements) at Week 8. Spirometry, used to measure FEV1, was performed according to internationally accepted standards. Definitions: Baseline=Baseline values for pre-dose FEV1 were the average of measurements taken at V2 (Week 0) at 45 minutes and 15 minutes pre-dose; FEV1=Forced expiratory volume in the 1st second;

The ACQ consists of 7 items: 6 simple self-administered questions referring to asthma control and rescue treatment usage with 1 week recall, and a 7th item consisting of the percent (%) predicted FEV1 completed by clinic staff. Scoring uses a 7-point scale: 0 = "totally controlled" and 6 = "severely uncontrolled". The ACQ score was calculated as the average of all 7 items. Definitions: ACQ-7 score=Asthma Control Questionnaire-7©; Information regarding the American Thoracic Society ACQ questionnaire is also available at: https://member.thoracic.org/members/assemblies/assemblies/srn/questionaires/acq.php; Baseline ACQ-7 score = ACQ score recorded at V2 (Week 0) Day 1, before randomization; FEV1=Forced expiratory volume in the 1st second;

Overall daily asthma symptoms scores - Change From Baseline (am and pm). Subjects had to record asthma symptom score (overall symptoms, cough, wheeze, chest tightness and breathlessness) in the am (night-time asthma symptom score) and in the pm (daytime asthma symptom score). These data were collected in the subject's diary. Daily asthma symptoms score were performed separately for am score and pm score and also as a total, where the total equals the sum of the am and pm scores.
