E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To investigate that 200mg of drug CDR007 taken by mouth twice a day for controlling asthma will perform as expected while their normal standard asthma treatment is being reduced. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
If the new drug CDR007 fails to treat subjects asthma during the reduction of their normal standard treatment because: The subject is unable to reduce one of their normal treatments as recorded in a questionnaire. Subject is withdrawn due to having a questionnaire score which is too high on the maximum dose of one treatment. Subject has severe worsening of asthma. Worsening of asthma 2 days running identified by 1) 30% or more of their blowing test in the morning compared to their old treatment. 2) Having 6 or more puffs on their salbutamol inhaler( normal puffer treatment to relieve symptoms) during a 24 hour period compared to their old treatment. Withdrawn from trial due to worsening of asthma Any untoward medical occurrence unfavourable and unintended

E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The primary endpoint of identifying the average dose of ICS, from fortnightly visits from visit 5 to Visit 10 (10 weeks in total). |
