A Study of Mometasone Furoate Metered Dose Inhaler in Children With Persistent Asthma (P04223)

June 5, 2024 updated by: Organon and Co

A 12-Week, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Ranging, Efficacy and Safety Study of Mometasone Furoate Metered Dose Inhaler in the Treatment of Children Ages 5 to 11 Years With Persistent Asthma (Phase 2; Protocol No. P04223AM3)

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the dose-related efficacy, by evaluating morning (AM) lung function at the end of the dosing interval (AM pre-dose percent predicted forced expiratory volume in one second [FEV1]) across 12 weeks of treatment, of three doses (50 mcg, 100 mcg, and 200 mcg) of Mometasone Furoate (MF) Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) twice a day (BID) compared with Placebo in children 5 to 11 years of age, inclusive, with persistent asthma. The primary hypothesis of this study is that at least one dose of MF MDI BID increases lung function, defined as a significant increase in percent predicted FEV1, when compared to Placebo.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

5 years to 11 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of asthma of at least 6 months duration.
  • Using an Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), either alone or in combination with a long-acting beta-2 agonist (LABA), for at least 12 weeks prior to the Screening Visit and must have been on a stable asthma regimen for at least 2 weeks prior to the Screening Visit, must not have used oral glucocorticosteroids within 30 days of the Screening Visit.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Treated in the emergency room for a severe asthma exacerbation requiring systemic glucocorticosteroid treatment, or hospitalization for management of airway obstruction within 3 months prior to the Screening Visit.
  • History of ventilator support for respiratory failure secondary to asthma.
  • Upper or lower respiratory tract infection (viral or bacterial) within the 2 weeks prior to Screening and Baseline Visits.
  • History of clinically significant renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, metabolic, neurologic, hematologic, ophthalmologic, respiratory, gastrointestinal, cerebrovascular, or other significant medical illness or disorder which, in the judgment of the investigator, could interfere with the study or require treatment that might interfere with the study. Specific examples include but are not limited to insulin-dependent diabetes, hypertension, active hepatitis, cardiovascular disease including hypertension, or conditions that may interfere with respiratory function such as, bronchiectasis, and cystic fibrosis. Other conditions that are well controlled and stable will not prohibit participation if deemed appropriate per the investigator's judgment.
  • Inability to correctly use an oral MDI or a DPI.
  • Participation in this study at another investigational site. Participation in a different investigational study at any site during the same time frame of this study.
  • Randomization into this study more than once.
  • Direct association with either the administration of the this study or the study staff.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Percent Predicted Morning (AM) Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) - MF MDI vs. Placebo
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12
FEV1 is the amount of air, measured in liters, forcibly exhaled in 1 second. Pulmonary function tests were to be performed by participants in the morning before dosing. The percent predicted FEV1 equals the participant's observed FEV1 divided by the participant's predicted FEV1 (determined by height and race) and converted to a percentage by multiplying by 100%. The goal of the primary outcome measure was to compare the change from Baseline in AM FEV1 between the MF MDI and Placebo treatment groups. The comparison between the MF MDI 50 mcg BID vs. MF DPI 100 mcg QD treatment groups is presented in a subsequent outcome measure.
Baseline and Week 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in AM Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) - MF MDI vs. Placebo
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12
PEF, measured in liters per minute, is the highest flow during exhalation. Participants recorded diary entries for PEF twice daily (in the morning upon rising and in the evening at bedtime). The goal of the secondary outcome measure was to compare the change from Baseline in AM PEF between the MF MDI and Placebo treatment groups.
Baseline and Week 12
Change From Baseline in Paediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire With Standardised Activities (PAQLQ(S)) Total Score - MF MDI vs. Placebo
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12
The PAQLQ(S) consists of 23 questions in 3 categories: Symptoms (10 items), Activity Limitations (5 items), and Emotional Function (8 items). Responses are based on a 7-point scale (7=not bothered at all to 1=extremely bothered). PAQLQ(S) Total Scores could range from 23 to 161, with a lower score indicating a lower quality of life. The PAQLQ(S) included only participants in participating countries in which a validated translated questionnaire was available. The goal of the secondary outcome measure was to compare the change from Baseline in PAQLQ(S) between the MF MDI and Placebo treatment groups.
Baseline and Week 12
Change From Baseline in Percent Predicted AM FEV1 - MF MDI 50 mcg BID vs. MF DPI 100 mcg QD
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12
FEV1 is the amount of air, measured in liters, forcibly exhaled in 1 second. Pulmonary function tests were to be performed by participants in the morning before dosing. The percent predicted FEV1 equals the participant's observed FEV1 divided by the participant's predicted FEV1 (determined by height and race) and converted to a percentage by multiplying by 100%. The goal of the secondary outcome measure was to compare the change from Baseline in AM FEV1 between the MF MDI 50 mcg BID and MF DPI 100 mcg QD treatment groups. The comparisons between the other MF MDI BID and Placebo treatment groups are presented in a previous outcome measure.
