Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To demonstrate that the efficacy of two treatment arms of the fixed-dose combination product QVM149 is non-inferior to the efficacy of the free combination arm of salmeterol/fluticasone + tiotropium in uncontrolled asthmatics.;Primary end point(s): Change from baseline in Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) total score;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 weeks;Secondary Objective: - To evaluate efficacy of QVM149 high-dose and QVM149 medium-dose compared to salmeterol/ fluticasone + tiotropium in terms of Trough FEV1 after 24 weeks of treatment. - To evaluate efficacy of QVM149 high-dose and QVM149 medium-dose compared to salmeterol/ fluticasone + tiotropium in terms of Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire over 24 weeks of treatment. - To evaluate efficacy of QVM149 high-dose and QVM149 medium-dose compared to salmeterol/ fluticasone + tiotropium in terms of Asthma Control Questionnaire over 24 weeks of treatment. - To evaluate efficacy of QVM149 high-dose and QVM149 medium-dose compared to salmeterol/ fluticasone + tiotropium in terms of lung function over 24 weeks of treatment.
