Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Evaluate the long term (24 weeks) efficacy of two doses (2.5 µg and 5 µg) of tiotropium inhalation solution (administered once daily) compared to placebo and to salmeterol (50 µg; administered twice daily) on top of maintenance therapy with inhaled corticosteroid controller medication in patients with moderate persistent asthma.;Secondary Objective: Evaluate the long term (24 weeks) safety of two doses (2.5 µg and 5 µg) of tiotropium inhalation solution (administered once daily) compared to placebo and to salmeterol (50 µg; administered twice daily) on top of maintenance therapy with inhaled corticosteroid controller medication in patients with moderate persistent asthma.;Primary end point(s): The co-primary endpoints are 1. Peak forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) response (within 3 hours post dosing) determined at the end of the 24-week treatment period. 2. Trough forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) response determined at the end of the 24-week treatment period. Primary endpoint Meta-Analysis (combined data 205.418 and 205.419 trial): 1. The responder as assessed by the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) determined at the end of the 24-week treatment period on combined data from the two twin trials 205.418 and 205.419.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The end of the 24-week treatment period. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Peak FVC; trough FVC; FEV1 (AUC0-3h); FVC (AUC0-3h); individual in-clinic FEV1/FVC/PEF measurements; Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ (S)); Home assessment: PEF am/pm (last weekly mean of treatment period), use of PRN rescue medication; daytime and nocturnal symptoms; asthma symptom free days, control of asthma (Asthma Control Questionnaire; ACQ) after 24 weeks treatment. In a subset of patients: FEV1 (AUC0-12h), FEV1 (AUC12-24h), FEV1 (AUC0-24h), FVC (AUC0-12h), FVC (AUC12-24h), FVC (AUC0-24h);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The end of the 24-week treatment period. | — |
