Detailed Description
This is four arm study. Approximately 480 (120 per group) would need to complete the 6 weeks of treatments.
In order to achieve that number of subjects, approximately 700 subjects will be screened randomized into the study.
A screening visit (Visit 1) will be inclusive of at least the 2-week (14 days) placebo Run-in Period during which asthma subjects will wash out their daily inhaled corticosteroid and other medications and assessed for compliance. Study treatment period will be for a duration of 6 weeks with visits: Visit 2 - Baseline Day 1; Visit 3 Day 21 (± 2 days) and Visit 4 Day 42 (± 2 days). Rescue Therapy: Short-acting beta agonists, Albuterol 90 μg/actuation

Description
Inclusion Criteria
- Male or female subjects (between ≥ 12 and ≤ 80 years old). Females may be of either childbearing or non-childbearing potential. All females of childbearing potential must be either abstinent from sexual intercourse or using adequate contraception and must also have a negative pregnancy test. Pregnant or nursing females or females intending to become pregnant during the course of the study must be excluded from the study.
- The subject has persistent asthma as defined by the National Asthma Education a Prevention Program (NAEPP ERP-3 (1)) at least 12 weeks prior to screening.
- Pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) on the screening visit and on the baseline visit is >40% of the predicted value according to age, height, race and sex using The global lung function 2012 equations: Report of the Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI), following abstinence from short-acting β-agonists for a minimum of 6 hours and withholding restricted medications prior to the visits. At Visit 2 the baseline FEV1 and the predicted FEV1 value would be the mean of 2 pre-dose FEV1 measurements taken 30 minutes apart (-30 min and 0).
- The subject has demonstrated at least 12% reversibility of FEV1 at either the screening or baseline visit within 30 minutes after 4 inhalations (total of 360 μg) of albuterol (pMDI). [Note: Subjects who fail to demonstrate the required reversibility at the Screening Visit (Visit 1) are eligible to enter the Run-in Period and repeat the testing at the End of Run-in Period/Baseline (Visit 2)].
- If the subject is on inhaled corticosteroids the subject must be on a stable dose of daily-inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) at least 160 μg/day of beclomethasone dipropionate or equivalent for a minimum of 4 weeks before screening visit (Estimated comparative daily doses for ICSs for youths ≥12 years of age and adults per NAEPP ERP-3).
- Currently nonsmoking; had not used tobacco products (i.e., cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco) within the past year, and had ≤ 10 pack years of historical use.
- A body mass index between 18-35 kg/m2, inclusive.
- Willingness to give their written informed consent/assent to participate in the study.
- Subjects must be able to perform acceptable and repeatable spirometry, Peak Flow Meter (twice a day measurements), keep a diary record and to use the inhalation devices as assessed at Screening and Baseline by the study staff.
- Ability to understand and comply with the protocol requirements, instructions and protocol stated restrictions.
NOTE: At the end of the placebo Run-in period the subject will be stratified into two categories:
- Corticosteroid naïve subjects (Not have taken inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) at least 3 months prior to screening or systemic corticosteroids at least 6 months before screening)
Prior corticosteroid users Exclusion criteria
- Incidence of asthma exacerbations per NAEPP ERP-3 within the last 3 months.

- Life threatening asthma, defined as a history of asthma episode(s) requiring intubation, and/or associated with hypercapnia; respiratory arrest or hypoxic seizures, asthma related syncopal episode(s) within the previous 10 years.
- The known presence or history of tuberculosis infection of the respiratory tract; untreated systemic fungal, bacterial, parasitic or viral infections; or ocular herpes simplex.
- The presence or history of clinically significant medical condition, other than asthma, including laboratory results abnormalities, that in the opinion of the investigator would put the subject at risk through study participation, or would affect the study analyses if the disease exacerbated during the study. Following conditions should be considered carefully: congestive heart failure, recent myocardial infarction, uncontrolled hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias and diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, glaucoma, cataract, uncontrolled hypothyroidism, liver failure, severe osteoporosis, peptic ulceration and renal impairment.
- Hospitalization for asthma or a respiratory condition in the last 12 months.
- Need for oral steroids or/and antibiotics for lung disease in last the 3 months.
- Current or recent respiratory infection or current oral candida infection.
- Participation in another clinical trial or study within 1 month or at least 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) preceding the first dose of trial medication. Previous participation in this study.
Use of any of the following excluded respiratory medications within the indicated time frame prior to screening and throughout the study:
- Anti-IgE antibody (e.g. Xolair) and depot corticosteroids 3 months
- Systemic (I.V., I.M., oral) corticosteroids 3 months

- Short-acting anti-muscarinics (e.g., ipratropium) 24 hours
- LABA (e.g., salmeterol, formoterol,etc.) 12 hours
- Short-acting β2-adrenergic agonists (SABA), except for study rescue medication (albuterol) (see Section 4.7) 6 hours
- Oral β2-adrenergic agonists 1 month
- Topical dermatologic corticosteroids of intermediate to high potency such as fluticasone propionate, mometasone furoate 14 days

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change from baseline in FEV1 percent predicted compared to placebo
Time Frame: 6 weeks
|
The primary analysis of change from baseline trough (pre-dose and pre-rescue bronchodilator) FEV1 percent predicted (0-6 weeks) will be carried out on the mITT Population using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with treatment as an effect, and status of previous steroid use (naïve or prior use) as the covariate.
The efficacy endpoint for the primary analysis is the change from baseline trough FEV1%- predicted at week 6.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
AUC at week in FEV1 compared to placebo
Time Frame: 6 weeks
|
Continuous secondary efficacy endpoints and other continuous tertiary efficacy endpoints will be analyzed similarly to that specified for the primary endpoint.
After FEV1%-predicted is estimated for all scheduled visits (either as observed or as imputed for missing), AUC0-6 FEV1 percent predicted (0-6 weeks) will be calculated and Satterhwaite t-test will be used to compare the difference on AUC0-6 between treatment groups and placebo.
