Triple in Asthma Dose Finding

Bulgaria, Germany, Hungary211 participantsStarted 2014-04-11

Plain-language summary

Primary objective The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of a free combination of CHF 5259 at 3 dose levels plus Foster® 100/6 μg in a pMDI by comparison with Foster® 100/6 μg in terms of forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) area under the curve between time 0 and 12 hours (AUC0-12h) normalised by time on Day 42. Key secondary objective The key secondary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of the free combination CHF 5259 plus Foster® 100/6 μg by comparison with Foster® 100/6 μg in terms of peak FEV1 on Day 42. Secondary objectives The secondary objectives were: * To evaluate the effect of the free combination of CHF 5259 plus Foster® 100/6 μg on other lung function parameters and on clinical outcome measures; * To assess the safety and the tolerability of the study treatments.

Inclusion criteria

. Patient's written informed consent obtained prior to any study-related procedures;
. Male or female patients aged ≥18;
. Patients with uncontrolled asthma on medium doses of ICS+LABA (\>500-1000 μg daily dose BDP non-extrafine or equivalent plus formoterol 24 μg or salmeterol 100 μg) at a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to Screening; Drug\* Medium daily dose BDP non-extrafine \>500 - 1000 μg BDP extrafine \>250 - 500 μg Budesonide \>400 - 800 μg Ciclesonide \>160 - 320 μg Fluticasone \>250 - 500 μg Mometasone ≥400 μg - \< 800 μg
. Patients with a pre-bronchodilator FEV1 ≥40% and \<80% of their predicted normal value, after appropriate wash-out from bronchodilators, at Screening and at the end of the run-in period;
. Patients with a positive response to the reversibility test at Screening within 30 minutes after administration of 400 μg of salbutamol pMDI, defined as ΔFEV1 ≥12% and ≥200 mL over Baseline; Note: In case the reversibility threshold is not met, the test can be performed once before randomisation.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
