  Purpose

The researchers propose to study the airways of asthmatics given TPI ASM8 for 14 days, and examine the protective effects on allergen-induced bronchoconstriction, hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Safety and allergen-induced maximum decrease in FEV1 for Late Asthmatic Response [ Time Frame: Safety (Trial duration) + LAR (Day 14) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Exploratory Endpoints only: EAR on Day 14, AMP-induced airway hyperresponsiveness on Day 10,eNO on Day 14, PK/PD in sputum and plasma [ Time Frame: study duration ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Enrollment: 18
Study Start Date: January 2008
Study Completion Date: October 2008
Primary Completion Date: July 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: No.1 ASM8 (oligonucleotide)
TPI ASM8 1mg/mL in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution; 1 mg will be administered daily (morning) by inhalation
Biological: TPI ASM8
Administered with the I-Neb device from Respironics once daily by inhalation over 2 treatment periods of 14 days each
Placebo Comparator: Phosphate Buffer solution
Placebo solution (PBS) will be administered daily in the form of 1 mL of PBS (phosphate buffered saline) by inhalation
Biological: placebo
Administered with the I-Neb device from Respironics once daily by inhalation over 2 treatment periods of 14 days each

Detailed Description:

Early and late asthmatic responses were attenuated by ASM8 and by placebo solution.Methacholine challenge was not affected by study medication. Other parameters were unchanged.
