Asthma
Conditions
Brief summary
This randomized, single-dose, double-blind, double-dummy, four-period, four-sequence, four-treatment, placebo and active controlled, comparative, multiple-center, crossover-design bronchoprovocation study has been designed to evaluate the pharmacodynamic equivalence of albuterol sulfate HFA inhalation aerosol, eq 90 mcg base (Amneal Ireland Limited) to PROAIR® HFA (albuterol sulfate) Inhalation Aerosol, eq 90 mcg base (Teva Respiratory, LLC) in patients with stable mild asthma.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Male and non-pregnant female subjects (18-65 years of age). * Stable mild asthmatics based on National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) guidelines. * FEV1 ≥ 80% of predicted. * Airway responsiveness to methacholine demonstrated by a pre-albuterol-dose (baseline) PC20 ≤ 8 mg/mL. * Nonsmokers for at least six months prior to the study and a maximum smoking history of five pack-years (the equivalent of one pack per day for five years). * Written informed consent
Exclusion criteria
* Evidence of upper or lower respiratory tract infection (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis) within six weeks prior to the study. * History of seasonal asthma exacerbations, in which case the subject should be studied outside of the relevant allergen season. * History of cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis or other respiratory diseases. * History of cardiovascular, renal, neurologic, liver or endocrine dysfunction, including ECG with evidence of ischemic heart disease. * Treatment in an emergency room or hospitalization for acute asthmatic symptoms or need for daily oral corticosteroids within past three months. * Known intolerance or hypersensitivity to any component of the albuterol MDI.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Pharmacodynamic Endpoint Post-dose PC20 | 6 weeks | Provocative concentration of the methacholine challenge agent required to reduce the FEV1 by 20% following administration of differing doses of albuterol or placebo by inhalation. The 20% reduction in FEV1 will be determined relative to the post-saline FEV1 measure before the placebo or albuterol administration. |
