Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: 1. To investigate the effect of 3 months treatment with Reslizumab on air trapping, by using different techniques;Secondary Objective: To investigate the degree of (dynamic) hyperinflation in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma, and relate it to the percentage of eosinophils in peripheral blood and sputum Study.;Primary end point(s): in this study is the change from baseline in regional image based hyperinflation (iVlobes ) and in (specific) iVaw after 3 months Reslizumab treatment compared to changes in the placebo group.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline and 12 weeks | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): (specific) iRaw, exploratory parameters from FRI, iVlung, air trapping specific imaged-based airway volume (s)iVaw) at TLC, internal lobar airflow distribution, low attenuation or emphysema score, blood vessel density, airway wall thickness and aerosol deposition concentrations, Also correlations between changes in HRCT parameters and SGRQ, AQLQ, ACQ, FEV1/FVC, FVC, FRC, RV/TLC, FeNO and cell differential counts in sputum and blood. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline and 12 weeks | — |
