Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 minutes post inhlation of Flutiform.; Main Objective: Inhaled Fluticasone/Formoterol improves both large and small airway function in moderate to severe persistent asthma. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate a statistically significant change in both OE-MRI imaging biomarkers [oxygen exponential washout time (ôdown) and major airway ventilation (Tvent) time] using dynamic OE-MRI in moderate-to-severe asthmatics, within 30 minutes of administration of two observed inhalations via spacer of Fluticasone/Formoterol [250/10]. ; Secondary Objective: • To demonstrate significant improvement of conventional lung physiological measurements (LCI, Scond and Sacin) within 60 minutes of administration of Fluticasone/Formoterol. • To investigate alterations in other OE-MRI imaging markers including ventilated fraction, exponential wash-in time (ôup), maximum ÄPO2, V/Q. • To investigate degree of regional lung variation in response to Fluticasone/Formoterol on OE-MRI. ;Primary end point(s): The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate a statistically significant change in both oxygen exponential washout time (ôdown) and major airway ventilation (Tvent) time using dynamic OE-MRI in moderate-to-severe asthmatics (GINA 3-4), within 30 minutes of administration of two observed inhalations via spacer of Fluticasone/Formoterol [250/10]. | — |
