Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study Testing the Superiority of CHF 1535 pMDI 800/24µg Total Daily Dose Compared With CHF 718 pMDI 800µg Total Daily Dose in Adults With Asthma on Medium or High-Dose Inhaled Corticosteroid (NCT NCT05292586)

NCT ID: NCT05292586

Last Updated: 2025-09-04

Results Overview

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (pre-dose on Week 0) and Week 12.

Population: Intention-to-treat (ITT) population: all randomised subjects who received at least one administration of the study drug. Statistical analysis used all available data and imputed missing data (i.e., whether due to missed visits, unperformed or unevaluable assessments at intermediate timepoints, or early study discontinuation) in ITT population (overall population N=283 in CHF 1535 pMDI 800/24 μg study group; N=280 in the CHF 718 pMDI 800 μg study group).

The pre-dose FEV1 at baseline (i.e. pre-dose on Week 0 \[Visit 2\]) and the FEV1 AUC0-12h normalised by time at Week 12 (Visit 5) are presented by treatment group in the ITT population, as change from baseline. AUC0=12h Area under the curve calculated between time 0 and 12 hours

The average MORNING PEF at baseline (i.e. average morning "Best PEF" values during the run-in period, over each inter-visit period and over the 12-week treatment period are presented by treatment group in the ITT population), as change from baseline. PEF=Peak Expiratory Flow

Timeframe: Baseline (pre-dose on Week 0) and Week 12.

Population: Intention-to-treat (ITT) population: all randomised subjects who received at least one administration of the study drug. Statistical analysis used all available data and imputed missing data (i.e., whether due to missed visits, unperformed or unevaluable assessments at intermediate timepoints, or early study discontinuation) in ITT population (overall population N=283 in CHF 1535 pMDI 800/24 μg study group; N=280 in the CHF 718 pMDI 800 μg study group).

The ACQ-7 and ACQ-5 scores at baseline (i.e. pre-dose on Week 0 \[V2\]) and at Week 12 (V5) are presented by treatment group in the ITT population, as change from baseline; only patients who provided required data at baseline and at specified times are included in the calculation. Asthma control was evaluated during the treatment period (Week 0 to Week 12 \[V2-V5\])/end of treatment (ET) if applicable, using ACQ-7; first 6 items refer to symptoms and rescue use in the previous 7 days. The 7th item, filled in by the clinical staff, was the FEV1 (% predicted) recorded at 15 min pre-dose, measured at each visit during the treatment period. ACQ-5 has 5 items on adequacy of asthma control. ACQ-7: Assess asthma symptoms over last 7 days (night-time awakenings due to symptoms, morning symptoms, activity limitation, shortness of breath, wheezing), average daily rescue medication use, and current FEV1 percent predicted. Score scale: 0=totally controlled; 6=severely uncontrolled.
