Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To demonstrate the superiority of NVA237 50 µg o.d. compared to placebo in addition to background therapy with LABA/ ICS (= 800 µg/day of budesonide or equivalent) in terms of trough FEV1 (the mean of values 23h 15min and 23h 45min post dosing) after 26 weeks of treatment in patients with asthma, who are poorly controlled despite treatment with LABA/ICS (= 800 µg/day of budesonide or equivalent).;Secondary Objective: Key: Demonstrate superiority of NVA237 50 µg od compared to pbo in addition to background therapy with LABA/ ICS (= 800 µg/day of budesonide or equivalent) for: • Time to 1st moderate or severe asthma exacerbation (52wks treatment) • ACQ-7 - wk26 Secondary: Compare efficacy NVA237 50 µg o.d. to pbo in addition to background therapy with LABA/ ICS (= 800 µg/day of budesonide or equivalent) for: • AQLQ(S) - 52wks treatment • SGRQ - 52wks treatment • ACQ-7, ACQ-6, ACQ-5 - 52wks treatment • Peak FEV1, FEV1 AUC0-3h post-dose, and mean pre-dose FEV1 - 52wks treatment • Trough FEV1 - 52wks treatment • FEV1 & FVC - individual timepoints • Morning & evening mean PEF (e-diary) • Asthma symptoms measured (ACD e-diary) • Rescue medication (e-diary) • Rate of moderate/severe asthma exacerbations • Time to 1st severe asthma exacerbation, and rate of severe asthma exacerbations • Time to 1st asthma exacerbation of any severity and rate of asthma exacerbations of any severity;Primary end point(s): Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) at Week 26: Spirometry testing will be performed in accordance with American Thoracic Society standards. Trough FEV1 defined as the mean of two measurements at 23 hours 15 minutes and 23 hour 45 minutes post dosing.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: week 26 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Time to First Moderate or Severe Asthma Exacerbation Over 52 Weeks of Treatment: Asthma exacerbations are considered to be moderate if treatment with rescue systemic corticosteroids for greater than or equal to 3 days as outpatient or less than or equal to 24 hour emergency room visit was required. Asthma exacerbations are considered severe if treatment with rescue systemic corticosteroids for greater than or equal to 3 days and hospitalization or emergency department visit greater than 24 hours were required or death due to asthma. The time to the first moderate or severe asthma exacerbation is the study day on which the patient experienced first moderate or severe asthma exacerbation. For detailed list see full protocol;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 52 weeks | — |
