Bronchodilator Effect of CHF1535 pMDI Versus Free Combination of Beclometasone Plus Formoterol pMDI in Asthmatic Children (PAED3)

March 28, 2017 updated by: Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A.

Double Blind, Double Dummy, Cross-over Study to Compare the Bronchodilator Effect of CHF1535 pMDI (Fixed Combination of Beclometasone 50 µg + Formoterol 6 µg) Versus Free Combination of Beclometasone Plus Formoterol pMDI in Asthmatic Children

The purpose of this clinical study is to compare the improvement in breathing of single administration of CHF 1535 50/6 pMDI (fixed combination of a corticosteroid drug beclomethasone 50 µg + formoterol 6 µg/puff, 2 inhalations, total dose 100/12 µg) given with spacer versus free combination of beclomethasone 50 µg/puff pMDI (2 inhalations, total dose 100 µg) given with spacer plus formoterol 6 µg/puff pMDI (2 inhalations, total dose 12 µg) given with spacer in terms of FEV1 from 0 to 12 hours in asthmatic children.

Additionally the study aims to evaluate the effects of doses of CHF 1535 pMDI compared to placebo and the effect on other lung function parameters, to assess the safety and tolerability of CHF 1535 dosages in children.
