An Effectiveness Study Comparing Fluticasone Furoate (FF, GW685698)/Vilanterol (VI, GW642444) With Standard Treatment in Asthma

July 26, 2018 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

A 12-month, Open Label, Randomised, Effectiveness Study to Evaluate Fluticasone Furoate (FF, GW685698)/Vilanterol (VI, GW642444) Inhalation Powder Delivered Once Daily Via a Novel Dry Powder Inhaler Compared With Usual Maintenance Therapy in Subjects With Asthma

This study is designed to compare the effectiveness and safety of Fluticasone Furoate/Vilanterol Inhalation Powder (100mcg Fluticasone Furoate ((FF), GW685698)/25mcg Vilanterol ((VI), GW642444) or 200mcg Fluticasone Furoate ((FF), GW685698)/25mcg Vilanterol ((VI), GW642444) ) delivered once daily via a Novel Dry Powder Inhaler (NDPI) compared with the existing asthma maintenance therapy over twelve months in subjects diagnosed with asthma. This is a Phase III multi-centre, randomised open label study. Subjects who meet the eligibility criteria are randomised and will enter a 12 month treatment period.

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

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects eligible for enrolment in the study must meet all of the following criteria:

  1. Informed consent: Subjects must be able to provide informed consent, have their consent signed and dated.
  2. Type of subject: Subjects with documented GP diagnosis of asthma as their primary respiratory disease.
  3. Current Anti-Asthma Therapy: All subjects must be prescribed maintenance therapy and receiving ICS with or without LABA (either a fixed combination or via separate inhalers), and for at least 4 weeks prior to Visit 2.

    • Other background asthma medication such as anti-leukotrienes are permitted
  4. All subjects on ICS monotherapy or ICS/LABA combination (this can be a fixed dose combination or an ICS alone or LABA alone in separate inhalers) must have had symptoms in the past week prior to Visit 2. Symptoms are defined by daytime symptoms more than twice per week, use of short-acting beta2-agonist bronchodilator more than twice per week, any limitation of activities, or any nocturnal symptoms/awakening. (The symptoms are based on subject's recall and are consistent with the GINA and in principal with the BTS/SIGN guidelines).
  5. Subject questionnaires: Subjects must be able to complete the electronic subject questionnaires as well as those questionnaires that are completed by phone or provide a proxy e.g. a partner/relative/a friend who can do so on their behalf
  6. Gender and Age: Male or female subjects aged ≥18 years of age at Visit 1. A female is eligible to enter and participate in the study if she is of:

    • Non-child bearing potential (i.e. physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant, including any female who is post-menopausal or surgically sterile). Surgically sterile females are defined as those with a documented hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy or tubal ligation. Post-menopausal females are defined as being amenorrhoeic for greater than 1 year with an appropriate clinical profile, e.g. age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms. However in questionable cases, a blood sample with FSH > 40MIU/ml and estradiol <40pg/ml (<147 pmol/L) is confirmatory.

OR Child bearing potential has a negative urine pregnancy test at Visit 2, and agrees to one of the highly effective and acceptable contraceptive methods used consistently and correctly (i.e. in accordance with the approved product label and the instructions of the physician for the duration of the study - Visit 2 to the end of the study).

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects meeting any of the following criteria must not be enrolled in the study:

  1. Recent history of Life-threatening asthma: Defined for this protocol as an asthma episode that required intubation and/or was associated with hypercapnea, respiratory arrest or hypoxic seizures within the last 6 months.
  2. COPD Respiratory Disease: A subject must not have current evidence or GP diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
  3. Other diseases/abnormalities: Subjects with historical or current evidence of uncontrolled or clinically significant disease. Significant is defined as any disease that, in the opinion of the GP/ Investigator, would put the safety of the subject at risk through participation, or which would affect the efficacy or safety analysis if the disease/condition exacerbated during the study.
  4. Drug/food allergy: Subjects with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the study medications (e.g., beta2-agonists, corticosteroid) or components of the inhalation powder (e.g., lactose, magnesium stearate). In addition, subjects with a history of severe milk protein allergy that, in the opinion of the GP/ Investigator, contraindicates the subject's participation will also be excluded.
  5. Investigational Medications: A subject must not have used any investigational drug within 30 days prior to Visit 2 or within five half-lives (t½) of the prior investigational study (whichever is longer of the two), (if unsure discuss with the medical monitor prior to screening)
  6. Chronic user of systemic corticosteroids: A subject who, in the opinion of the GP/Investigator, is considered to be a chronic user of systemic corticosteroids for respiratory or other indications (if unsure discuss with the medical monitor prior to screening)
  7. Subjects who are using LABA without an ICS as asthma maintenance therapy.
  8. Subjects who plan to move away from the geographical area where the study is being conducted during the study period and/or if subjects have not consented to their medical records being part of the electronic medical records database that is operational in the Salford area.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Who Have Either an Asthma Control Test (ACT) Total Score of >=20 or an Increase From Baseline of >=3 in ACT Total Score at Week 24.
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0) and Week 24
The ACT is a validated self-administered questionnaire utilizing 5 questions to assess asthma control during the past 4 weeks on a 5-point categorical scale (1 to 5). By answering all 5 questions, participants with asthma obtained an ACT score ranging between 5 and 25. Higher scores indicated better control of asthma. An ACT score of <=15 showed poorly controlled asthma; 16 to 19 showed partly controlled asthma and >=20 showed well controlled asthma. The total score was calculated as the sum of the scores from all 5 questions. The primary efficacy analysis (PEA) Population is defined as all Intent-to-Treat (ITT) participants (that is, all participants who were randomized and received at least one prescription of study medication) who have an ACT total score of <20 at Baseline (Day 0). The percentage of responders that is participants with an ACT total score >=20 or an increase from Baseline of >=3 has been presented

Mean Number of Salbutamol Inhalers Prescribed for Each Participant Over the 12 Month Treatment Period.
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Salbutamol was prescribed as a rescue medication to be used as and when necessary throughout the study. The number of salbutamol inhalers used by each participant during the study was calculated based on the total number of inhalers (adjusted to an equivalence of 200 metered actuations) prescribed. Number of salbutamol inhalers prescribed during the study was derived taking the participants time on study medication into account so it corresponds to 12 months on treatment. The least square mean number of salbutamol inhalers prescribed per participant during the study has been presented. Only participants exposed to study drug for at least 30 days were included in the analysis.
Up to 12 months

Percentage of Participants Who Have an Increase From Baseline of >=0.5 in Standardized Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire [AQLQ(S)] Total Score at Week 52.
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0) and Week 52
The AQLQ(S) contained 32 items under the following four domains: activity limitation (11 items), symptoms (12 items), emotional function (5 items) and environmental stimuli (4 items). The response format consisted of a seven-point scale where a value of 1 indicated "total impairment" and a value of 7 indicated "no impairment". The total AQLQ(S) score is the mean of all 32 items in the questionnaire and each individual domain score was calculated as the mean of the items within that domain. Hence, the total and domain scores were each defined on a range from 1 to 7 with higher scores indicating a higher quality of life. Baseline value is the value at Day 0 assessment. Change from Baseline is post dose visit value minus Baseline. The percentage of responders that is, participants with an increase from Baseline of >=0.5 in AQLQ(S) total score has been presented. Only those participants available at the specified time point was analyzed.

The incidence of the SAEs of pneumonia for each treatment group is defined as the percentage of participants in that group who have experienced at least one SAE of pneumonia from start date of study treatment to the stop date of exposure + 28 days or date of study discontinuation, whichever is earliest. The percentage of participants with SAE of pneumonia has been presented.
Up to Week 52
Time to First SAE of Pneumonia
Time Frame: Up to Week 52
An SAE of pneumonia was defined as any SAE in the AESI group of "pneumonia". The date of an event for an SAE of pneumonia was the AE onset date. Participants who do not have an SAE of pneumonia during the first 364 days of the treatment period (start date of exposure to min [end date of exposure + 28 days, date of study discontinuation, start date of exposure + 363]) were censored. Time to first SAE of pneumonia was measured from the date of randomization (that is, study treatment start date) to the onset date of first SAE of pneumonia. The number of participants with first on-treatment SAE of pneumonia has been presented.
