What is being measured

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

  1. The primary efficacy endpoint is the change in pre dose Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) from baseline to 2-hours post dose FEV1 at Week 12.

    The change in pre-dose FEV1 from baseline to the 2-hours post dose FEV1 values at Week 12 will be analysed using a repeated measures ANCOVA model with fixed terms for treatment, baseline pre-dose FEV1, asthma severity, dose group, week and treatment by week interaction, and centre as a random effect. The statistical model will be used to calculate the treatment difference for the change in pre-dose FEV1 to 2 hours post-dose FEV1 at Week 12 (FLUTIFORM® - Seretide), corresponding 95% CI and p-value from the one-sided test for non-inferiority.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. The key secondary efficacy endpoint is the change in pre dose FEV1 from baseline to pre dose FEV1 at Week 12.

    The change in pre dose FEV1 from baseline to the pre dose FEV1 values at Week 12 will be analysed using a repeated measures ANCOVA model with fixed terms for treatment, baseline pre dose FEV1, asthma severity, dose group, week and treatment by week interaction, and centre as a random effect. The statistical model will be used to calculate the treatment difference for the change in pre-dose FEV1 from baseline at Week 12 (FLUTIFORM® - Seretide), corresponding 95% CI and p-value from the test for non-inferiority. Non-inferiority will be concluded if the lower limit of the 95% CI is greater than or equal to -200ml.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. The change in pre dose FEV1 from baseline to 2-hours post dose FEV1 at Week 2 and Week 6

    The change in pre-dose FEV1 from baseline to the 2-hours post dose FEV1 values at baseline (post-IMP), Week 2 and Week 6 will be analysed using a repeated measures ANCOVA model with fixed terms for treatment, baseline pre-dose FEV1, asthma severity, dose group, week and treatment by week interaction, and centre as a random effect. The statistical model will be used to calculate the treatment difference for the change in pre-dose FEV1 to 2 hours post-dose FEV1 at Week 2 and Week 6 (FLUTIFORM® - Seretide), corresponding 95% CI and p-value from the one-sided test for non-inferiority.

    Measured: 2 weeks,6 weeks

  3. The change in pre dose FEV1 from baseline to pre dose FEV1 at Week 2 and Week 6

    The change in pre dose FEV1 from baseline to the pre dose FEV1 values at Week 2 and Week 6 will be analysed using a repeated measures ANCOVA model with fixed terms for treatment, baseline pre dose FEV1, asthma severity, dose group, week and treatment by week interaction, and centre as a random effect. The statistical model will be used to calculate the treatment difference for the change in pre-dose FEV1 from baseline at Week 2 and Week 6 (FLUTIFORM® - Seretide), corresponding 95% CI and p-value from the test for non-inferiority. Non-inferiority will be concluded if the lower limit of the 95% CI is greater than or equal to -200ml.

    Measured: 2 weeks,6 weeks

  4. The number and percentage of subjects who discontinue due to lack of efficacy will be summarised for each treatment group

    The mean number of occasions per day will be calculated from the subject diaries for the 12 week treatment and baseline period. For the baseline value, data from the last 7 days prior to first IMP intake will be used.

    The mean number of occasions per day during baseline and the 12 week treatment period and the change from baseline during the treatment period will be summarized treatment group as continuous data.

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 21 inclusion and 18 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ling Li (8610 65636891, ling.li@mundipharma.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary efficacy endpoint is the change in pre dose Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) from baseline to 2-hours post dose FEV1 at Week 12. (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 NCT03387241, 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 29 Apr 2019.
