Asthma
Conditions
Brief summary
The clinical trial is designed to evaluate the non-inferiority of CHF1535 100/6 µg NEXThaler versus CHF1535 100/6 µg pMDI on the onset of relief from methacholine-induced bronchospasm, in terms of pulmonary function (i.e. change in Forced Expiratory Volume in the 1st second, FEV1, from baseline to 5 min after study drug intake) in asthmatic patients.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in FEV1 5-min post-dose | 5 min post-dose | Change in FEV1 from baseline (baseline is the post-diluent value, before methacholine challenge test) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in FEV1 other time points | Up to 30 min post-dose | Change in FEV1 from baseline (baseline is the post-diluent value, before methacholine challenge test) |
| FEV1 AUC0-10min | From dosing to 10 min post-dose | FEV1 area under the curve from dosing to 10 min post-dose |
| Time to recovery in FEV1 | From dosing to 30 min post-dose | Time to return to 85% of baseline value |
| Change in Borg scale | Up to 30 min post-dose | Change in Borg scale from the end of the methacholine challenge test |
| Time to recovery in Borg scale | Up to 30 min post-dose | 50% decrease from the post-methacholine challenge value |
