Brief summary

A Multicentre, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Group, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Tezepelumab in Adults and Adolescents with Severe Uncontrolled Asthma

Detailed description

This is a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tezepelumab in adults and adolescents with severe, uncontrolled asthma on medium to high-dose ICS and at least one additional asthma controller medication with or without OCS. Approximately 1060 subjects will be randomized globally. Subjects will receive tezepelumab, or placebo, administered via subcutaneous injection at the study site, over a 52-week treatment period. The study also includes a post-treatment follow-up period of 12 weeks.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Mean Change From Baseline at Week 52 in Standardized Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire for 12 Years and Older (AQLQ(S)+12) Total Score (Key Secondary Endpoint)From randomisation to Study Week 52Mean change from baseline in AQLQ(S)+12 as compared to placebo at Week 52. The AQLQ(S)+12 is a questionnaire that measures the health-related quality of life experienced by asthma subjects. The total score is defined as the average of all 32 questions in the AQLQ(S)+12 questionnaire. AQLQ(S)+12 is a 7-point scale questionnaire, ranging from 7 (no impairment) to 1 (severe impairment).
Mean Change From Baseline at Week 52 in Asthma Control Questionnaire-6(ACQ-6) (Key Secondary Endpoint)From randomisation to Study Week 52Change from baseline in ACQ-6 as compared to placebo at Week 52. The ACQ-6 captures asthma symptoms and short-acting β2-agonist use via subject-report. Questions are weighted equally and scored from 0 (totally controlled) to 6 (severely uncontrolled). The ACQ-6 score is the mean of the responses.
Mean Change From Baseline at Week 52 in Asthma Symptom Diary (Key Secondary Endpoint)From randomisation to Study Week 52Mean change from baseline at Week 52 in Asthma Symptom Diary. The Asthma Symptom Diary comprises of 10 items (5 items in the morning; 5 items in the evening). Asthma symptoms during night time and daytime are recorded by the patient each morning and evening in the daily diary. A daily ASD score is the mean of the 10 items. Responses for all 10 items are required to calculate the daily ASD score; otherwise, it is treated as missing. For the 7-day average asthma symptom score, scoring is done with no imputation using the mean of at least 4 of the 7 daily ASD scores as a mean weekly item score. The 7-day average ASD score ranges from 0 to 4, where 0 indicates no asthma symptoms.
Time to First Asthma ExacerbationFrom randomisation to Study Week 52Time to first occurrence of asthma exacerbation post-randomisation, presented as number of subjects with at least one asthma exacerbation as reported by the investigator in the eCRF.

Mean Change From Baseline in Work Productivity Loss Due to Asthma at Week 52From randomisation to Study Week 52WPAI+CIQ (Work Productivity and Activity Impairment plus Classroom Impairment Questionnaire) contains 10 questions. Work productivity loss is derived by sum of percentage of missed work due to asthma and product of percentage of actual working hours times degree of asthma affecting work productivity while working. Percentage of missed work due to asthma is calculated by number of hours missed work due to asthma divided by total number of hours missed work plus number of hours actually worked.
Mean Change From Baseline in Class Productivity Loss Due to Asthma at Week 52From randomisation to Study Week 52WPAI+CIQ (Work Productivity and Activity Impairment plus Classroom Impairment Questionnaire) contains 10 questions. Class productivity loss is derived by sum of percentage of missed class hours due to asthma and product of percentage of actual hours in class times degree of asthma affecting productivity while in class. Percentage of missed hours in class due to asthma is calculated by number of hours in class missed due to asthma divided by total number of hours in class missed plus number of hours actually in class.
Activity Impairment at Week 52From randomisation to Study Week 52WPAI+CIQ (Work Productivity and Activity Impairment plus Classroom Impairment Questionnaire) contains 10 questions. Activity impairment is the degree health affected regular activities (other than work or class) rated from 0 to 10, with 0 meaning no effect, divided by 10, and then expressed as a percentage.

The total score is defined as the average of all 32 questions in the AQLQ(S)+12 questionnaire. AQLQ(S)+12 is a 7-point scale questionnaire, ranging from 7 (no impairment) to 1 (severe impairment).

Time frame: From randomisation to Study Week 52

Population: Number of participants analyzed is the number of subjects with an observation at Week 52. All subjects from the Full Analysis Set with at least one change from baseline value at any post baseline visit contributes to the analyses.

Mean Change From Baseline in Class Productivity Loss Due to Asthma at Week 52

WPAI+CIQ (Work Productivity and Activity Impairment plus Classroom Impairment Questionnaire) contains 10 questions. Class productivity loss is derived by sum of percentage of missed class hours due to asthma and product of percentage of actual hours in class times degree of asthma affecting productivity while in class. Percentage of missed hours in class due to asthma is calculated by number of hours in class missed due to asthma divided by total number of hours in class missed plus number of hours actually in class.
