Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary end-parameter is the PD20 small particle adenosine. The co-primary objective (only in case of non-inferiority of QVAR on the primary objective) will be: Reduction in peripheral airways resistance (R5-R20) measured with IOS at the provocative dose of small particle adenosine causing the FEV1 to drop with 20% (PD20). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| * Twice daily symptoms (including night-time symptoms) and peakflow (PEF). * Resistance (R5, R20, R5-R20) and Reactance at 5 Herz (X5) with IOS. * Lung function (FEF25, FEF50, FEF75, FEF25-75, PEF, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, FVC/SVC * Body plethysmography (RV (%predicted), TLC, RV/TLC (%), FRC, FRC/TLC (%), FRC/TLC (%predicted), IC, RV/TLC %predicted). * Peripheral blood (cell differential counts). * Delta FVC during PD20 small particle adenosine. * Questionnaires (Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ), Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness Questionnaire (BHQ), and Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ). * Multiple Breath Washout Analysis: Lung Clearance Index, Sacin and Scond before and after provocation test with AMP and small particle adenosine. * Genome-wide mRNA and miRNA expression, and DNA methylation in epithelial cells derived from nasal epithelial brushes. * inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in nasal lining fluid | — |
