Comparison of New Combination Inhaler (FlutiForm HFA MDI 100/10 µg) Versus Fluticasone & Formoterol Administered Alone in Patients With Asthma - Full Text View

Sponsor:	SkyePharma AG
Information provided by:	SkyePharma AG
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00394199

Purpose

To compare the efficacy and safety of the fixed combination asthma drug Flutiform HFA MDI with its two components administered alone, fluticasone propionate and formoterol fumarate, in adult and adolescent patients with mild to moderate asthma.

Condition	Intervention	Phase
Asthma	Drug: Fluticasone propionate/Formoterol Fumarate	Phase III

Study Type:	Interventional
Study Design:	Treatment, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title:	A Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled, Parallel Group, Stratified, Multi-Center, 12-Week Study Comparing the Safety & Efficacy of Fluticasone and Formoterol Combination (FlutiForm(tm) 100/10 µg Twice Daily) in a Single Inhaler (SkyePharma HFA pMDI) With the Administration of Fluticasone (100 µg Twice Daily) and Formoterol (10 µg Twice Daily) Alone in Adolescent & Adult Patients With Mild to Moderate Asthma

Primary Outcome Measures:

Change in Forced Expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV-1) over 12 weeks recorded in electronic diary

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Other pulmonary function tests including forced vital capacity (FVC) and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR).
Clinical endpoints (frequency of asthma exacerbations and patient data captured in diary including daily morning and evening PEFR).
Safety variables include adverse events, ECGs, clinical laboratory tests and vital signs.

Estimated Enrollment:	350
Study Start Date:	June 2006
Study Completion Date:	February 2008
Primary Completion Date:	February 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

History of leukotriene receptor antagonist use, e.g., montelukast, within past week.
Current evidence or history of any clinically significant disease or abnormality including uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, or cardiac dysrhythmia.
Upper or lower respiratory infection within 4 weeks prior to Screening Visit or during Run-In Period.
Significant, non-reversible, pulmonary disease (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis).
Known Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-positive status.
Smoking history equivalent to "10 pack years".
Current smoking history within 12 months prior to Screening Visit.
Current evidence or history of alcohol and/or substance abuse within 12 months prior to Screening Visit.
