Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Open-label Study to Evaluate Correct Use and Ease of Use of the ELLIPTA DPI in Pediatric Subjects With Asthma (NCT NCT03478657)

NCT ID: NCT03478657

Last Updated: 2021-03-26

Results Overview

Participants were trained in the correct use of ELLIPTA DPI by a healthcare professional (HCP) on Day 1 (Visit 1) following which eligible participants were required to take one inhalation of placebo from the ELLIPTA DPI once daily for 28 days. At Day 28 (Visit 2), participants were administered a questionnaire on ease of use of ELLIPTA DPI. Participants and their parents/guardian were required to complete the questionnaire, following which participants were assessed for their ability to demonstrate correct use of ELLIPTA DPI (1 attempt with no training or instruction and then 1 attempt after instruction from parent/guardian). Percentage of participants who demonstrated correct use of ELLIPTA was calculated as "number of participants who demonstrated correct use at Visit 2" divided by "number of participants whose use of the ELLIPTA DPI was evaluated at Visit 2" multiplied by 100. The 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated using the exact binomial distribution.

Participant Flow

This was a multi-center, single arm, stratified, open-label, randomized placebo-only study conducted in pediatric participants. Participants were stratified based on age at Visit 0 (Stratum 1: 5 to 7 years old inclusive and Stratum 2: 8 to 11 years old inclusive).

A total of 232 participants were screened, of which 10 failed screening and 222 participants were enrolled in the study. The study was conducted in the United States and Canada.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At Day 28

Population: Modified intent to treat (MITT) Population comprised of all participants who were screened, received at least one dose of the study medication (placebo) and were randomized to a version of the ease of use questionnaire at Visit 2.

Participants were trained in the correct use of ELLIPTA DPI by a healthcare professional (HCP) on Day 1 (Visit 1) following which eligible participants were required to take one inhalation of placebo from the ELLIPTA DPI once daily for 28 days. At Day 28 (Visit 2), participants were administered a questionnaire on ease of use of ELLIPTA DPI. Participants and their parents/guardian were required to complete the questionnaire, following which participants were assessed for their ability to demonstrate correct use of ELLIPTA DPI (1 attempt with no training or instruction and then 1 attempt after instruction from parent/guardian). Percentage of participants who demonstrated correct use of ELLIPTA was calculated as "number of participants who demonstrated correct use at Visit 2" divided by "number of participants whose use of the ELLIPTA DPI was evaluated at Visit 2" multiplied by 100. The 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated using the exact binomial distribution.

Timeframe: At Day 28

Population: MITT Population. Only those participants who demostrated correct use at Visit 2, attempt 1 has been analyzed.

Participants were trained in the correct use of ELLIPTA DPI at Visit 1 by the HCP and eligible participants were required to take one inhalation of placebo from the ELLIPTA DPI once daily for 28 days. At Day 28 (Visit 2), participants were administered a questionnaire on the ease of use of ELLIPTA DPI. For participants in Stratum 1, questionnaire was provided to the interviewer and responses were recorded. For Stratum 2, the questionnaire was self-administered (or interviewer administered, if participant was unable to self-administer). Percentage of participants who rated the ELLIPTA DPI as easy to use was calculated as "number of participants who rate the ELLIPTA as easy" divided by "number of participants who demonstrated correct use at Visit 2 (Attempt #1)" multiplied by 100. The 95% CI for the percentages are calculated using the exact binomial distribution.

Timeframe: Day 1

Population: ITT Population.

Participants were trained by HCP in correct use of ELLIPTA DPI at Visit 1 following which participants were assessed on their ability to use the ELLIPTA DPI without guidance from the HCP or parent/guardian. The participants were given a maximum of five attempts. Participants who were unable to use the ELLIPTA DPI correctly were trained by the HCP for the first three attempts. For the fourth and fifth attempts, the participants' parent/guardian assisted in the training of the ELLIPTA DPI. Percentage number of participants who demonstrated correct use of the ELLIPTA DPI along with 95% CI at Visit 1 (attempts 1 to 5) has been presented. The 95% CI for the percentages are calculated using the exact binomial distribution.
