What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline to Week 12 in 1h Post-dose FEV1

    1h post-dose FEV1 is defined as the 1-hour post-dose measurement taken at Week 12 minus the pre dose measurement taken at randomization for patients who remain in the study (irrespective of whether IP has been discontinued).

    Measured: Week 0 (baseline), Week 12

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Change From Baseline to Week 12 in 1h Post-dose PEF

    1h post-dose PEF is defined as the 1-hour post-dose measurement taken at Week 12 minus the pre dose measurement taken at randomization for patients who remain in the study (irrespective of whether IP has been discontinued).

    Measured: Week 0 (baseline), Week 12

  2. Change From Baseline to Week 12 in 1h Post-dose FEF25-75

    1h post-dose FEF25-75 is defined as the 1-hour post-dose measurement taken at Week 12 minus the pre dose measurement taken at randomization for patients who remain in the study (irrespective of whether IP has been discontinued).

    Measured: Week 0 (baseline), Week 12

  3. Change From Baseline to Week 12 in 1h Post-dose FVC

    1h post-dose FVC is defined as the 1-hour post-dose measurement taken at Week 12 minus the pre dose measurement taken at randomization for patients who remain in the study (irrespective of whether IP has been discontinued).

    Measured: Week 0 (baseline), Week 12

  4. Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Pre-dose FEV1

    Pre-dose FEV1 is defined as the pre-dose measurement taken at Week 12 minus the pre dose measurement taken at randomization for patients who remain in the study (irrespective of whether IP has been discontinued).

    Measured: Week 0 (baseline), Week 12

  5. Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Pre-dose PEF

    Pre-dose PEF is defined as the pre-dose measurement taken at Week 12 minus the pre dose measurement taken at randomization for patients who remain in the study (irrespective of whether IP has been discontinued).

    Measured: Week 0 (baseline), Week 12

  6. Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Pre-dose FEF25-75

    Measured: Week 0 (baseline), Week 12

  9. Change From Baseline to End of Study Average in Total Asthma Symptoms

    End of study average is defined as the average of available records from 7 days before up to and including the day prior to withdrawal from study or Week 12, minus the baseline measurement at randomization, for patients who remain in the study (irrespective of whether IP has been discontinued).

    Patient to record his/her asthma symptom score twice daily. The following rating scales are to be used: 0 = None; no symptoms of asthma

    1. = Mild symptoms; awareness of asthma symptoms and/or signs that are easily tolerated
    2. = Moderate symptoms, asthma symptoms with some discomfort, causing some interference with daily activities or sleep
    3. = Severe symptoms; incapacitating asthma symptoms and/or signs, with inability to perform daily activities or to sleep

    Total asthma symptom score is derived as the sum of the daytime score plus the score from the previous nighttime, ie possible range (0 to 6).

    Measured: Week 0 (baseline), Week 12

  10. Change From Baseline to End of Study Average in % of Night Time Awakenings Due to Asthma Symptoms

    End of study average is defined as the percentage of nighttime awakenings due to asthma symptoms from 6 days before up to and additionally including the morning of withdrawal from study or Week 12, minus the baseline measurement at randomization, for patients who remain in the study (irrespective of whether IP has been discontinued).

    Measured: Week 0 (baseline), Week 12

  11. Change From Baseline to End of Study Average in Total Daily Reliever Medication

    End of study average is defined as the average of available records from 7 days before up to and including the day prior to withdrawal from study or Week 12, minus the baseline measurement at randomization, for patients who remain in the study (irrespective of whether IP has been discontinued).

    Measured: Week 0 (baseline), Week 12

  12. Change From Baseline to Study Period Average in Overall PAQLQ Score

    Study period average is defined as the average of the post-baseline values during the study taken after first dose of investigational product up to and including withdrawal from study or Week 12, minus the baseline assessment at randomization, for patients who remain in the study (irrespective of whether IP has been discontinued).

    The PAQLQ(S) is a 23-item patient-reported questionnaire, each one reported on a 7-point scale (e.g. 1 = extremely bothered/all of the time; 7 = not bothered/none of the time). The PAQLQ(S) generates an overall score, as well as 3 domain scores: activity limitations (5 items), symptoms (10 items) and emotional function (8 items). The overall score will be calculated as the mean of the responses to each of the 23 questions (ie the range of 1-7, where higher scores indicate better quality of life). If any of the domain scores are missing, no total score will be calculated.

    Measured: Week 0 (baseline), week 4, week 8, week 12

  13. Number of Patients With an Asthma Exacerbation During Study

    Number of patients that experienced an asthma exacerbation that required either emergency room treatment, hospitalization, systemic steroids, or an increase in, or additional asthma maintenance medication, during the study.

    Measured: Week 0 (baseline) up to Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Symbicort pMDI and Budesonide pMDI in people with Asthma, run by AstraZeneca at 70 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 70 sites in United States, Slovakia, Mexico, Panama. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Apr 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From Baseline to Week 12 in 1h Post-dose FEV1 (time frame: Week 0 (baseline), Week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02091986, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Apr 2017.
