  • Ages 12 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with a documented diagnosis of asthma for a period of at least 3 months prior to Screening Visit
  • Patients who have used low dose ICS , with or without controller (ie, LABA, Leukotriene Receptor Antagonist ) at stable dose for at least 1 month prior to Screening Visit
  • Adult patients who are symptomatic at screening despite treatment with existing therapy.
  • Patients with ACQ-7 score ≥ 1.5 at Visit 101 and at Visit 102 (inadequately controlled).

What is being measured

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

  1. Trough FEV1

    demonstrate the superiority of QMF149 150/80 microgram o.d. (in the evening) delivered via Concept1 compared with MF 200 microgram o.d. (in the evening) delivered via Twisthaler® in terms of trough FEV1 after 12 weeks of treatment in adults and adolescents. Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation, measured by spirometry.

    Measured: week 12

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. ACQ-7

    ACQ-7 is an asthma control questionnaire (scoring 5 symptoms, FEV1 entered by the investigator and daily rescue bronchodilator use entered by the patient) validated to evaluate different levels of asthma control. the ACQ-7 was used to assess improvements in asthma symptom control. The ACQ-7, a seven-item disease-specific instrument developed and validated to assess asthma control in patients in clinical trials as well as in individuals in clinical practice, was provided to the site. All seven items were then scored on a 7-point Likert scale, with 0 indicating total control and 6 indicating no control. The questions were equally weighted and the total score was the mean of the seven items. The first 6 questions of the ACQ-7 were completed by the patient while the last question (question 7) was completed by the study investigator using spirometry data generated by the spirometry equipment.

    Measured: week 12

  2. Trough FEV1 at Day 2

    Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation, measured through spirometry testing

    Measured: Day 2

  3. Pre-dose FEV1 at Week 4

    Pre-dose FEV1 is defined as the mean of -45 min and -15 min FEV1 values pre-evening dose

    Measured: week 4

  4. FVC Over 12 Weeks

    FVC is the total amount of air exhaled during the FEV test. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Expiratory Flow between 25% and 75% of FVC (FEF25-75) will be measured

    Measured: week 12

  5. PEF Over 4 and 12 Weeks

    Morning and Evening Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEF) will be measured. PEF is the peak expiratory flow, the maximum speed of expiration

    Measured: week 12

  6. Percentage of Patients With ACQ-7 MID at Week 12

    MID is Minimum Important Difference. ACQ-7 is an asthma control questionnaire (scoring 5 symptoms, FEV1 entered by the investigator and daily rescue bronchodilator use entered by the patient) validated to evaluate different levels of asthma control. Percent of patients achieving the minimal important difference (MID) in ACQ-7 (i.e. at least 0.5 decrease from baseline) will be measured.

    Measured: week 12

  7. Daily E-diary Over 12 Weeks

    Percentage of asthma symptoms free days, the percentage of nights without nighttime awakenings, and the percentage of mornings without symptoms on awakening as recorded by daily electronic Diary (e-Diary) over 12 weeks of treatment

    Measured: week 12

  8. ACQ-7 at Week 4

    ACQ-7 is an asthma control questionnaire (scoring 5 symptoms, FEV1 entered by the investigator and daily rescue bronchodilator use entered by the patient) validated to evaluate different levels of asthma control

    Measured: week 4

  9. Rescue Medication Use Over 12 Weeks

    Rescue salbutamol/albuterol usage (mean daily, nighttime and daytime use) from e-Diary recordings over 12 weeks of treatment

    Measured: week 12

  10. Percentage of Rescue Medication Free Days Over 12 Weeks

    Percentage of rescue medication free days over 12 weeks of treatment period

    Measured: week 12

  11. Quality of Life Assessed by Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire AQLQ-S 12

    The AQLQ is a 32-item disease specific questionnaire designed to measure functional impairments in asthma. Patients are asked to score each item on a 7-point scale based on the experience of last 2 weeks. The overall AQLQ score is the mean response to all 32 questions. Therefore, the possible highest score (better) would be 7 and the lowest (worse) would be 1. Changes in scores of 0.5 to 1.0 are considered clinically meaningful; 1.0 to 1.5 as moderate and > 1.5 as marked clinically important differences for any individual domain or for the overall summary score.

    Measured: week 12

  12. Number of Patients With Asthma Exacerbation Over 12 Weeks

    The exacerbation categories are: mild, moderate, severe and the combination of moderate or severe. Time to first asthma exacerbation by exacerbation category. Annual rate of asthma exacerbations by exacerbation category.

    Measured: Week 12

  13. The Number of Asthma Exacerbations (Moderate or Severe) Over the 12 Week Treatment Period

    Annual incidence rate of asthma exacerbation by severity of exacerbation. The number of asthma exacerbation is used to calculate annual incidence rate. A severe asthma exacerbation is SCS (Systemic Corticosteroids) use ≥3 days and hospitalization or emergency department visit (greater than 24 h) or death due to asthma. A moderate asthma exacerbation is SCS use ≥3 days either as an outpatient or in emergency department visits (less than or equal to 24 h). Worsening of asthma not requiring more than 3 days of SCS or hospitalization/emergency room will be considered mild asthma exacerbations

    Measured: Week 12

  14. Number of Patients With First Asthma Exacerbations (Moderate or Severe) Over the 12 Week Treatment Period

    The annual rate of asthma exacerbations were analyzed using a generalized linear model.

    Measured: Week 12
