Cosa sta misurando lo studio?

Misure di risultato primarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Time to First Severe Asthma Exacerbation
Lasso di tempo: From First IMP dose to week 48 (EOT)

A severe asthma exacerbation was defined as asthma worsening resulting in hospitalization or emergency room treatment due to asthma worsening, or the need for systemic steroids for ≥ 3 days because of asthma. First severe asthma exacerbation occurred after the first dose of randomised study drug and within end of study was considered for the analysis. Patients without a severe asthma exacerbation or withdrawn before having it, are considered as 'censored' at the last day in the study or at the time of the withdrawal.

Since the median time (50th percentile) and the other key percentiles (25th and 75th) were not reached, the median time of first exacerbation is not available (N.A.). So, to provide meaningful information, the cumulative number of patients who experienced a severe exacerbation at the end of each time period was reported separately.

A severe asthma exacerbation was defined as asthma worsening resulting in hospitalization or emergency room treatment due to asthma worsening, or the need for systemic steroids for ≥ 3 days because of asthma. First severe asthma exacerbation occurred after the first dose of randomised study drug and within end of study was considered for the analysis. Patients without a severe asthma exacerbation or withdrawn before having it, are considered as 'censored' at the last day in the study or at the time of the withdrawal.

As already anticipated in the primary endpoint, since the median time (50th percentile) and the other key percentiles (25th and 75th) were not reached, and the median time of first exacerbation is not available (N.A.), to provide meaningful information, the cumulative number of patients who experienced a severe exacerbation at the end of each time period is here reported.

Change From Baseline in Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) Score to Each Visit
Lasso di tempo: Week 4 (V3), Week 12 (V4), Week 24 (V5), Week 36 (V6), Week 48 (V7)

The Asthma Control Questionnaire is a tool used to asses how well a participant asthma is controlled and consists of seven questions scored. On average/in general, during the past week 0 (no impairment), 6 (maximum impairment for symptoms).

  1. how often were you woken by your asthma during the night?
  2. how bad were your asthma symptoms when you woke up in the morning?
  3. how limited were you in your activities because of your asthma?
  4. how much shortness of breath did you experience because of your asthma?
  5. how much of the time did you wheeze?
  6. how many puffs/inhalations of short-acting bronchodilator have you used each day?
  7. FEV1 pre-bronchodilator, FEV1 predicted FEV1 % predicted (by clinical staff)

The ACQ total score has been calculated as the mean of the seven question scores ranging from 0 (totally controlled) and 6 (severely uncontrolled). Higher scores indicate the worse outcomes. Adjusted means were reported.

Time to First Mild Asthma Exacerbation
Lasso di tempo: From first dose to end of the study (Up to Week 48)

A "mild asthma exacerbation" was defined as two consecutive mild asthma exacerbation days satisfying the same criterion. In case periods satisfying different criteria overlapping, only 1 mild exacerbation was considered. In case of two close mild exacerbations (start date of a mild exacerbation is less than 7 days from the stop date of the previous mild exacerbation), only the first was counted for the analysis. First mild exacerbation occurred after the first dose of randomised study drug and within end of study is considered for the analysis.

In patient with at least one mild exacerbation, the time to first mild exacerbation was calculated as the time in days between the first dose of randomised study drug (derived) and the time at which the first mild exacerbation occurs (date of the first day of the first mild exacerbation).

Time to first mild asthma exacerbation (days) = (date of first day of first mild exacerbation - date of first dose of randomised study drug (derived)) +1

Change From Baseline in Morning and Evening Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) to Each Visit
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Weeks 4 (V3), 12 (V4), 24 (V5), 36 (V6), 48 (V7)
PEF is measured twice a day (morning and evening) with Spirotel, a portable electronic peak flow meter. PEF measurement recorded in the morning of the day of each clinic visit was considered as data of the period before clinic visit. During each measurement session (morning or evening before the intake of the study medication) the participant performed 3 blows and only the best PEF parameter was saved into the Spirotel memory.

Change From Baseline in Daily PEF Variability to Each Visit
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Weeks 4 (V3), 12 (V4), 24 (V5), 36 (V6), 48 (V7)

PEF is measured twice a day (morning and evening) with Spirotel. PEF measurement recorded in the morning of the day of each clinic visit was considered as data of the period before clinic visit. During each measurement session (morning or evening before the intake of the study medication) the participant will perform 3 blows and only the best PEF parameter will be saved into the Spirotel memory.

The variability of PEF of a day will be calculated using the Best PEF morning and the Best PEF evening recorded in the same day. Variability of PEF is measured daily with Spirotel using the following formula:

Best PEF evening - Best PEF morning/Best PEF evening + Best PEF morning/2 X 100

Change From Baseline in Pre-Dose Forced Expiratory Volume in the First Second (FEV1) at Each Visit
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Weeks 4 (V3), 12 (V4), 24 (V5), 36 (V6), 48 (V7)
FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. FEV1 was measured using spirometry, conducted at baseline and all clinical visits. An increase in FEV1 reflects improved airway patency, while a decrease suggests worsening obstruction. Higher FEV1 values indicate better lung function. Adjusted means were reported.

Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Weeks 4 (V3), 12 (V4), 24 (V5), 36 (V6), 48 (V7)
FEF is a lung function test and is measured using the spirometery. The FEF25%-75% is the forced expiratory flow from 25% to 75% of FVC. FEF25%-75% measurement is conducted at baseline and all clinical visits. An increase in FEF25%-75% reflects improved airway patency, while a decrease suggests worsening obstruction. Higher FEF25%-75% values indicate better lung function. Adjusted means were reported.

Change From Baseline in Total Asthma Symptom Scores Measured Daily by Each Visit
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Weeks 4 (V3), 12 (V4), 24 (V5), 36 (V6), 48 (V7)

The asthma symptoms are: cough, wheeze, chest tightness and breathlessness. Each morning and evening asthma symptoms are to be scored, as respectively occurred during the night and during the day, as follows:

Night-time asthma symptom score: 0 = No symptom, 1 = Mild: symptoms not causing awakening, 2 = Moderate: discomfort enough to cause awakening, 3 = Severe: causing awakening for most of the night / do not allow to sleep at all

Day-time asthma symptom score: 0 = No symptom, 1 = Mild: aware of symptoms which can be easily tolerated, 2 = Moderate: discomfort enough to cause interference with daily activity, 3 = Severe: incapacitating with inability to work / take part in usual activity

Total asthma symptoms score was calculated as the sum of the day-time and the night-time asthma symptoms score recorded on the following day and score ranges from 0 to 6, higher score indicates worse symptoms.

Number of Inhalations of Reliever Medication Per Day by Each Two-Week Period
Lasso di tempo: Weeks 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, 17-18,19-20,21-22, 23-24, 25-26, 27-28, 29-30, 31-32, 33-34, 35-36, 37-38, 39-40, 41-42, 43-44, 45-46, 47-48
The daily use of reliever medication was calculated as sum of the number of puffs taken during the day and the number of puffs taken during the night recorded on the following day. In case one session in a day is missing, only the available session (evening or morning) was considered for the daily use of reliever medication. A minimum of seven evaluable measurements are required in each two-week treatment period and during the two-weeks of the run-in period (baseline).
Weeks 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, 17-18,19-20,21-22, 23-24, 25-26, 27-28, 29-30, 31-32, 33-34, 35-36, 37-38, 39-40, 41-42, 43-44, 45-46, 47-48
Percentage of Asthma Symptom-free Days by Each Two-Week Period
Lasso di tempo: Week 3-4, 11-12, 23-24, 35-36 and 47-48

Asthma symptom-free days are days with the total asthma symptom score equal to zero. Percentage of asthma symptom-free days will be calculated in each two-week period using the following formula:

% of asthma symptoms- free days = Number o f asthma symptoms- free days in that two - week period/Number o f days with data recorded for asthma symptom scores in that two - week period X 100.
Week 3-4, 11-12, 23-24, 35-36 and 47-48
Percentage of Reliever-Medication-Free Days by Each Two-Week Period
Lasso di tempo: Weeks 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, 17-18,19-20,21-22, 23-24, 25-26, 27-28, 29-30, 31-32, 33-34, 35-36, 37-38, 39-40, 41-42, 43-44, 45-46, 47-48

A day without reliever medication is a day in which the number of puffs of reliever medication taken in the 24 hours is zero. A day will be considered as missing if both measurements (evening and morning) are missing. A day will be considered as "not-free" if one session is recorded and the other is missing. Percentage of reliever medication-free days will be calculated in each two-week period using the following formula:

% of reliever medication-free days = Number of reliever medication-free days in that two -week period/Number of days with data recorded for reliever medication in that two -week period X 100
Weeks 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, 17-18,19-20,21-22, 23-24, 25-26, 27-28, 29-30, 31-32, 33-34, 35-36, 37-38, 39-40, 41-42, 43-44, 45-46, 47-48
Percentage of Asthma Control Days by Each Two-week Period Before Clinic Visits
Lasso di tempo: Week 3-4, 11-12, 23-24, 35-36 and 47-48

Asthma control day is a day with total asthma symptom score equal to zero and without use of reliever medication. A day will be considered as missing if both measurements (evening and morning) are missing. A day will be considered as "not control" if one session is recorded and the other is missing. Percentage of asthma control days will be calculated in each two-week period using the following formula:

% of asthma control days = Number of asthma control days in that two -week period/Number of days with data recorded for asthma symptom scores and reliever medication in that two-week period X100
Week 3-4, 11-12, 23-24, 35-36 and 47-48

AE=An untoward medical occurrence after exposure to a medicine, which is not necessarily caused by that medicine.

Serious AE= An adverse event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or is a birth defect.

ADR=A response to a medicinal product which is harmful and unintended. Response in this context means that a causal relationship between the medicinal product and an adverse event is at least a reasonable possibility Serious ADR=An adverse reaction that results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or is a birth defect.

Severe AE= "Severe" refers to the intensity of an AE; the event itself may be of relatively minor medical significance but intense.
