Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To describe the correlation between increase in ASM content of Na+, K+ pumps and reduction in airway hyperresponsiveness to mannitol after six weeks of daily inhalation of glucocorticoid, in patients with asthma and to describe differences in ASM content of Na+, K+ pumps among healthy subjects and patients with non-eosinophilic asthma (NEA) or eosinophilic asthma (EA) respectively. Primary endpoint: ; Secondary Objective: Not applicable ;Primary end point(s): • Change in airway hyperresponsiveness (mannitol challenge) per change in Na+, K+ pumps content in airway smooth muscle.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: december 31 2018 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Secondary objectives: • Change in Na+, K+ pump content in airway smooth muscle and in skeletal muscle (?mol ouabain per g wet weight) in patients with NEA vs. (EA). • Change in airway hyperresponsiveness (PD15 to mannitol) in NEA vs. EA. Exploratory objectives: • Change in asthma control score vs in Na+, K+ pumps content in airway smooth muscle • Change in lung function (FEV1) vs in Na+, K+ pumps content in airway smooth muscle • Change in asthma control score in NEA vs. EA • Change in lung function (FEV1) in NEA vs. EA ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: december 31 2018 | — |
