E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

The primary objective is to demonstrate that the test treatment BDP 250 mcg/salbutamol 100 mcg HFA pMDI fixed combination is non-inferior to BDP 250 mcg/salbutamol 100 mcg pMDI fixed combination given with the conventional CFC propellant (Clenil Compositum 250, Chiesi Farmaceutici) in terms of Pulmonary Function (morning PEF)

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

To assess the efficacy of the two investigational study drugs on pulmonary function parameters, asthma symptoms, use of relief medications and frequency of asthma exacerbations;ﾷ To assess the safety of the two investigational study drugs as regards frequency of adverse events, laboratory parameters (potassium, glucose, 12-hour overnight cortisol/creatinine ratio), ECG (with QTc interval) and vital signs (heart rate and blood pressure).

E.2.3

Trial contains a sub-study

Information not present in EudraCT

E.3

Principal inclusion criteria

1. Written informed consent obtained, 2. Male or female out-patients aged ﾳ 18 and < 65 years; 3. Uncontrolled asthma defined according to the GINA 2006 ﾓClassification of Levels of Asthma Controlﾔ. This definition includes the presence of two or more of the following features (in addition to the required range of FEV1): a) daytime asthma symptoms > twice a week; b) any limitation of activities; c) any nocturnal symptoms/awakening; b) need for reliever/rescue treatment > twice a week. These conditions are to be based on recent medical history and are to be confirmed in the 2-week run-in period;4. Forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) ﾳ 60% and < 80% of the predicted normal value;

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

1. Inability to carry out pulmonary function testing;2. Diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) as defined by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute/World Health Organisation (NHLBI/WHO) Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) guidelines updated 2006;3. History of near fatal asthma;4. Evidence of severe asthma exacerbation or symptomatic infection of the airways in the previous 4 weeks;5. Three or more courses of oral corticosteroids or hospitalisation due to asthma during the previous 6 months;6. Patients who have been treated with an inhaled corticosteroid in the previous 4 weeks;7. Patients who have been treated with nebulized, oral, intravenous or intramuscular corticosteroids in the past 8 weeks or depot injectable corticosteroids in the past 12 weeks;8. Patients who have been treated with a long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) in the past 2 weeks;

E.5 End points

E.5.1

Primary end point(s)

The primary efficacy variable is the mean value of morning PEF (daily measured by the patient using the Piko-1 peak flow meter (Qubisoft, Italy) in weeks 11-12.
