A Study to Compare Fluticasone /Formoterol Breath Actuated Inhaler (BAI) and Ultibro in Subjects With Fixed Airflow Obstruction and Elevated Eosinophils

December 9, 2016 updated by: Mundipharma Research Limited

A Randomised, Single Blind, Cross-over Study to Compare a Fixed Dose Combination of Fluticasone Propionate / Formoterol Fumarate (Breath Actuated Inhaler (BAI)) With a Fixed Dose Combination of Indacaterol Maleate / Glycopyrronium Bromide (Ultibro® Breezhaler) in Subjects With Fixed Airflow Obstruction and Elevated Eosinophils

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether fluticasone/formoterol Breath actuated inhaler is effective and well tolerated in the treatment of subjects with fixed airflow obstruction and elevated eosinophils.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The study is designed to provide efficacy and safety data for the use of fluticasone/formoterol Breath actuated inhaler in subjects with the characteristics of fixed airflow obstruction and elevated eosinophils. These patients have typically been excluded from previous Flutiform pMDI asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) trials; for example in asthma studies, patients with a smoking history of 10 pack years or more have been excluded, conversely in COPD studies patients with any prior history of asthma have been excluded. It is expected that the data from this study will provide a greater understanding of the effects of fluticasone/formoterol in this patient population

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

40 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

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
Time Frame
The efficacy of fluticasone/formoterol BAI 125/5 μg (2 puffs b.i.d.) versus Ultibro Breezhaler 85/43 µg (1 puff o.d.) in terms of the percentage of eosinophils in induced sputum
Time Frame: at Week 6 of each treatment
at Week 6 of each treatment

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
Time Frame
The efficacy of fluticasone/formoterol BAI 125/5 μg (2 puffs b.i.d.) versus Ultibro Breezhaler 85/43 µg (1 puff o.d.) in terms of the serum concentration of surfactant protein D (SPD)
