  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subject's written informed consent obtained prior to any study-related procedure.
  • Patients aged ≥ 18 and ≤ 75 years
  • Confirmed diagnosis of asthma (patients must have a documented history of asthma for at least 1 year with diagnosis before the age of 40 and/or pre-bronchodilator FEV1 between 50-80% of their predicted normal value, after appropriate washout from bronchodilators)
  • Symptomatic on ICS/LABA treatment with ACT <20

  • WOCBP fulfilling one of the following criteria:
  • WOCBP with fertile male partners: they and/or their partner must be willing to use a highly effective birth control method from the signature of the informed consent and until the follow-up visit or
  • WOCBP with physician confirmed non-fertile male partners (contraception is not required in this case).
  • Female patients of non-childbearing potential defined as physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant (i.e. post-menopausal or permanently sterile, e.g. amenorrheic for ≥12 consecutive months without alternative medical cause). Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. If indicated, as per investigator's request, post-menopausal status may be confirmed by follicle-stimulating hormone levels (according to local laboratory ranges).

Who cannot join

  • Pregnant or lactating female
  • Patients who had an exacerbation, defined as a sustained and acute deterioration of subject's symptoms and signs (dyspnea, cough and/or sputum production/purulence) that was either moderate, i.e. require treatment with systemic (oral/IV/IM) corticosteroids and/or antibiotics, or severe, i.e. require hospitalization, if their associated treatment/hospitalization occurred within 3 months prior to V1
  • Inability to carry out pulmonary lung function testing, to comply with study procedures or with study treatment intake
  • History of near fatal asthma or of a past hospitalization for asthma in intensive care unit which, in the judgement of the Investigator, may have placed the patient at undue risk
  • Patients using systemic corticosteroid medication in the 4 weeks or slow-release corticosteroids in the 12 weeks, prior to screening
  • Patients who suffer from COPD as defined by the current Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) document
Show all 12Show fewer

Similarly, patients affected by persistent, long standing or paroxysmal AF were not considered for enrollment
  • Patients who are unable to undergo imaging procedures for CT scans or MRI or demonstrate intolerance to Xenon gas

About this study

Official title: Open-label, Prospective, Crossover, Proof-of-concept Study to Evaluate the Effect of Triple Therapy With Extrafine Beclomethasone Dipropionate/Formoterol Fumarate/Glycopyrrolate (BDP/FF/G) Via pMDI Compared With Non-extrafine Fluticasone Furoate/Umeclidinium/Vilanterol (FluF/UMEC/VI) Via DPI on Lung Ventilation and Clinical Outcomes in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Asthma

The purpose of the study is to enroll participants with uncontrolled asthma to evaluate the large and small airways and drug delivery utilizing two study drugs:

  • Beclometasone dipropionate/Formoterol fumarate dihydrate/Glycopyrronium bromide (BDP/FF/G) or Trimbow
  • Fluticasone furoate/Umeclidinium/Vilanterol (FluF/UMEC/VI ) or Trelegy Ellipta
Read the detailed description

The study will comprise of 5 visits. A screening visit (V1, Week -2), with baseline assessment. At the randomization visit (V2, Week 0), patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive one of the following treatments for 8 weeks:

  • BDP/FF/G 100/6/12.5 mcg pMDI, two inhalations twice-daily
  • FluF/UMEC/VI 100/62.5/25 mcg DPI, one inhalation once-daily

A subsequent visit will be performed at 8 weeks (V3), where participants will undergo spirometry, oscillometry, and imaging. Participants will then stop the assigned treatment and undergo a washout period of 4 weeks using an unrelated maintenance ICS/LABA combination inhaler.

Following the washout period, at the next visit (V4, Week 12) participants will then be crossed over to the other treatment they did not receive at randomization.

At the final visit (V5, Week 20), patients will once again undergo spirometry, oscillometry, and imaging. In the event of premature study discontinuation, an early termination (ET) visit will be conducted and the Investigator must fill in the "Study Termination" page in the eCRF, reporting the main reason for withdrawal.

Participants who were previously screened and found ineligible due to transient or correctable conditions (e.g., recent exacerbation) may be considered for rescreening twice. Rescreening must be approved by the Principal Investigator and documented in the subject's screening log.

Rescreening will follow the same procedures as the initial screening, including informed consent, unless otherwise specified in the protocol. The reason for rescreening and any changes in eligibility status must be clearly documented in the case report form (CRF) and source documents.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Beclomethasone Dipropionate/Formoterol Fumarate/Glycopyrrolate pMDI and Fluticasone Furoate/Umeclidinium/Vilanterol 100 MCG/1 ACTUATION-62.5 MCG/1 ACTUATION-25 MCG/1 ACTUATION Inhalation Powder in people with Asthma, run by University of Alabama at Birmingham at 1 site in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 12 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2026. 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 United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Elizabeth Plan, RRT (205-975-5294, epkennedy@uabmc.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate the effect of extrafine beclomethasone dipropionate/formoterol fumarate /glycopyrrolate compared with non-extrafine fluticasone furoate/ umeclidinium/vilanterol on ventilation defect percentage utilizing 129Xenon MRI. (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 13 Apr 2026.
