A 26-Week Placebo-Controlled Efficacy and Safety Study of Mometasone Furoate/Formoterol Fumarate Combination Formulation Compared With Mometasone Furoate and Formoterol Monotherapy in Subjects With Persistent Asthma Previously Treated With Low-Dose Inhaled Glucocorticosteroids

NCT00383552 Phase 3 COMPLETED Results posted

This is a randomized, multi-center, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study, evaluating the efficacy of mometasone furoate/formoterol fumarate (MF/F) metered dose inhaler (MDI) versus MF for 26 weeks. Prior to the 26-week double-blind Treatment Period, participants will receive open-label (OL) MF MDI 100 mcg twice daily (BID) for 2 to 3 weeks during the Run-in Period. Efficacy will be measured by the Area Under the Curve from 0 to 12 hours \[AUC\](0-12 hours) of the change from Baseline to the Week 12 Endpoint in Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) and by the time-to-first severe asthma exacerbation across the 26-week treatment period.

Conditions

• Asthma

Interventions

• Mometasone Furoate/Formoterol Fumarate Combination MDI 100/10 mcg BID
• Mometasone Furoate MDI (MF MDI)
• Formoterol Fumarate 10 mcg
• Placebo

Primary outcomes

• Mean Area Under the Time Curve From 0 to 12 Hours (AUC(0-12 Hours)) of Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Forced Expiratory Volume (Liters) in 1 Second (FEV1) — Baseline to Week 12
  The average of the two predose FEV1 measurements (30 minutes prior to dosing and 0 hour, immediately prior to dosing) at the Baseline Visit were subtracted from each of the serial measurements over the 12-hour period. The AUC was calculated based on these changes from Baseline evaluations. The comparison was for MF/F vs MF. Standard deviation was pooled.
• Median Time-to-first Severe Asthma Exacerbation Over the 26-week Treatment Period — Across the 26 week treatment period
  Severe asthma exacerbation refers to an occurrence of a decrease below 80% of Baseline in FEV1, a decrease below 70% of Baseline in PEF on 2 consecutive days or a clinical deterioration of asthma resulting in emergency treatment, hospitalization or treatment with asthma medication.
• Number of Participants With at Least One Severe Asthma Exacerbation at Week 26 — Week 26
  Severe asthma exacerbation refers to an occurrence of a decrease below 80% of Baseline in FEV1, a decrease below 70% of Baseline in PEF on 2 consecutive days and or a clinical deterioration of asthma resulting in emergency treatment, hospitalization or treatment with asthma medication.
