  • This what you mean: Participants who are currently non-smoking and have not used tobacco smoking or smoked marijuana products, within the past year.
  • Participants who are able to replace their current regularly scheduled short-acting β2-agonists (SABAs) with a salbutamol/albuterol inhaler for use only on an 'as-needed' basis for the duration of the study.
  • Participants must be able to discontinue their asthma medications during the Run-in period, and for the remainder of the study.
  • Participants who can demonstrate the correct use of inhaler device (during the Run-in period and at Randomization visit).
  • Participants are eligible to participate in this study if they are:
  • Of non-childbearing potential
  • Of childbearing potential, and if they agree to use a highly effective form of contraception consistently during the study, starting at Screening and until the end of study (EOS). These participants must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening and Randomization visit.
  • Participants who produce viable sperm and have a partner of childbearing potential, and if they agree to use an adequate method of contraception consistently during the study, starting at Screening and until the EOS and also refrain from donating sperm during this period. Participants with a partner or partners who is (are) not of childbearing potential are exempt from these requirements.

Who cannot join

  • Participants who have life-threatening asthma, defined as a history of asthma episode(s) requiring intubation, and/or associated with hypercapnia, respiratory arrest or hypoxic seizures, asthma-related syncopal episodes(s), or hospitalizations within one year prior to Screening or during the Run-in period.
  • Participants with significant chronic respiratory disease (COPD, interstitial lung disease, etc) other than asthma which in the opinion of the Investigator may interfere with the study evaluation or optimal participation in the study.
  • Participants with evidence or history of clinically significant disease or abnormality including congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, cardiac dysrhythmia, significant hematologic, hepatic, neurologic, psychiatric, renal, or other diseases that in the opinion of the Investigator, would put them at risk through study participation, or would affect the study analyses if the disease exacerbated during the study.
  • Participants with asthma exacerbations (ie, acute or sub-acute worsening in symptoms and lung function from the participant's usual status) within 6 weeks prior to Screening or during the Run-in period.

  • Participants with significant alcohol or controlled substance abuse in the past 6 months, per the judgment of the Investigator.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Multicenter, Multiple-dose, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Design, Clinical Endpoint Bioequivalence Study to Evaluate the Therapeutic Equivalence and Safety of Fluticasone Furoate and Vilanterol Inhalation Powder 100 mcg/25 mcg (Sandoz) and BREO® ELLIPTA® (Fluticasone Furoate and Vilanterol Inhalation Powder) 100 mcg/25 mcg (GlaxoSmithKline) in Adult Participants With Asthma

This is a randomized, multi-center, multiple-dose, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Parallel group design, clinical endpoint bioequivalence study in adult participants with asthma.

The study design includes up to a 2-week Screening period, at least a 2-week Run-in period, a 4-week Treatment period, and a safety follow up call one week later.

Visit 1: Screening Visit 2: Run-in period: All eligible participants will enter a 2-week Run-in period in which training will be provided to the participants on the use of inhalers and participant diary.

Visit 3: Day 1: Randomization to one of the 3 treatment groups to receive one inhalation of the study medication quaque die (QD), in the morning, for 28 ± 2 days.

Visit 4: Day 28: EOT

Participants will be contacted one week after their last site visit for Safety follow-up via phone call (end of study). Participants will be instructed to refrain from taking their current inhaled asthma medications from the start of the Run-in period until the end of treatment (EOT) visit. They will be provided with a salbutamol/albuterol inhaler (rescue medication) for use on an as-needed basis during the entire study duration until the EOT visit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Fluticasone furoate and vilanterol inhalation powder and Breo Ellipta in people with Respiratory, run by Sandoz.

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 14 inclusion and 19 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Demonstrate the therapeutic equivalence of test and reference product (time frame: Day 1 (0-24Hrs)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 12 May 2026.
