A study to look at the bronchodilator effect of two strengths of a fixed combination administered at different doses by inhalation via NEXThaler to asthmatic patients.

A phase II, multicentre, double blind, randomised, 5-way cross-over study to test the non-inferiority of the acute bronchodilator effect of CHF 1535 200/6 µg NEXThaler® versus CHF 1535 100/6 µg NEXThaler® in partially controlled and uncontrolled adult asthmatic patients.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority in terms of acute bronchodilator effect (FEV1 AUC0-12h) between a single dose of CHF 1535 NEXThaler® 200 + 6 µg and a single dose of CHF 1535 NEXThaler® 100 + 6 µg at two dose levels (4 and 1 inhalations) in partially controlled and uncontrolled adult asthmatic patients.;Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the efficacy of the two strengths on pulmonary function in terms of FVC (peak and AUC0-12h) and FEV1 other parameters (peak, AUC0-4h and AUC4-12h); • To evaluate the safety profile in terms of adverse events (AEs) and adverse drug reactions (ADRs).;Primary end point(s): FEV1 area under the curve (AUC) over 12 hours post dose standardised by time (AUC0-12h, L);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: FEV1 taken at pre-dose within 60 min of the dose and at 10 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours and 12 hours post-dose).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - FEV1 AUC0-4h standardised by time (L) and FEV1 AUC4-12h standardised by time (L); - Peak FEV1 (L) in terms of absolute value; - FVC AUC0-12h standardised by time (L) and peak (L). - Adverse events and adverse drug reactions; ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: FEV1 and FVC at pre-dose within 60 min of the dose and at 10 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours and 12 hours postdose) Adverse events and adverse drug reactions will be evaluated throughout the whole study from screening until follow-up.
