E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
A subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if all of the following criteria apply:
AGE
1. Between 18 and 65 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
TYPE OF SUBJECT AND DIAGNOSIS INCLUDING DISEASE SEVERITY
2. Diagnosis of asthma, as defined by the history of respiratory symptoms such as wheeze, shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough that vary over time and in intensity, together with variable expiratory airflow limitation [GINA guideline, 2015] for at least 6 months prior to screening.
3. Current asthma therapy. Intermittent short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) alone (on average for no more than 2 days per week)
4. Positive skin prick test (3 mm or more greater than negative control) to common perennial or seasonal aeroallergen(s) (i.e., house dust mite, cat dander, grass pollen) at screening.
5. Pre-bronchodilator FEV1 > 70 % predicted normal at Screening Visit 1. NOTE: Predicted values will be based upon Quanjer, 2012.
6. EAR with ≥20 % FEV1 decrease between 5 and 30 minutes after the final allergen concentration is obtained at the screening bronchial allergen challenge (decreases
relative to the saline).
7. LAR with three FEV1 decreases of ≥15 % between 4 and 10 hours after the final allergen concentration is obtained at the screening bronchial allergen challenge, with two FEV1 decreases being at consecutive time points (decreases relative to the saline).
8. Subjects who are current non-smokers (defined as no use of any tobacco products in the 6-month period preceding the screening visit) and have a pack history of < 10 pack years Number of pack years = (number of cigarettes per day/20) x number of years smoked WEIGHT
9. Bodyweight ≥ 45kg
SEX
10. Male OR female of non-reproductive potential Males:
Male subjects with female partners of child bearing potential must comply with one of the following contraception requirements from the time of first dose of study medication until the final follow-up visit.
a. Vasectomy with documentation of azoospermia.
b. Male condom plus partner use of one of the contraceptive options below:
- Contraceptive subdermal implant
- Intrauterine device or intrauterine system
- Oral contraceptive, either combined or progestogen alone [Hatcher, 2007a] Injectable progestogen [Hatcher, 2007a]
- Contraceptive vaginal ring [Hatcher, 2007a]
- Percutaneous contraceptive patches [Hatcher, 2007a]
This is an all-inclusive list of those methods that meet the following GSK definition of highly effective: having a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly and, when applicable, in accordance with the product label. For non-product
methods (e.g., male sterility), the investigator determines what is consistent and correct use. The GSK definition is based on the definition provided by the International
Conference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) [ICH M3 (R2) 2009].”
The investigator is responsible for ensuring that subjects understand how to properly use these methods of contraception.
Females:
A female subject is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant (as confirmed by a negative [serum or urine] human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) test), not lactating, and where the following condition applies:
Non-reproductive potential defined as:
- Pre-menopausal females with one of the following:
- Documented tubal ligation
- Documented hysteroscopic tubal occlusion procedure with follow-up confirmation of bilateral tubal occlusion
- Hysterectomy
- Documented Bilateral Oophorectomy
Postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea [in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol levels consistent with menopause (refer to
laboratory reference ranges for confirmatory levels)]. Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the highly effective contraception methods if they wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of post-menopausal status prior to study enrolment.
INFORMED CONSENT
11. Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form and in this protocol. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
A subject will not be eligible for inclusion in this study if any of the following criteria apply:
CONCURRENT CONDITIONS/MEDICAL HISTORY (INCLUDES LIVER FUNCTION AND QTc INTERVAL)
1. Alanine transaminase (ALT) >2xUpper Limit of Normal (ULN) and bilirubin >1.5xULN (isolated bilirubin >1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%).
2. Current or chronic history of liver disease, or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones)
3. Heart rate corrected QT interval (QTc) > 450 msec or QTc > 480 msec in subjects with Bundle Branch Block
NOTES:
- The QTc is the QT interval corrected for heart rate according to Bazett’s formula (QTcB), Fridericia’s formula (QTcF), or another method, machine-read or manually over-read.
- The specific formula that will be used to determine eligibility and discontinuation for an individual subject should be determined prior to initiation of the study. In other words, several different formulae cannot be used to
calculate the QTc for an individual subject and then the owest QTc value used to include or discontinue the subject from the trial.
- For purposes of data analysis, QTcB, QTcF, another QT correction formula, or a composite of available values of QTc will be used as specified in the Reporting and Analysis Plan (RAP).
4. Asthma exacerbation requiring treatment with oral corticosteroids or hospitalization within 3 months prior to screening
5. History of life-threatening asthma, defined as an asthma episode that required intubation and/or was associated with hypercapnea, respiratory arrest or hypoxic seizures within the last 10 years.
6. Evidence of concurrent respiratory diseases such as pneumonia, pneumothroax, atelectasis, pulmonary fibrotic disease, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis,
cystic fibrosis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or other respiratory abnormalities other than asthma.
7. Other concurrent diseases/abnormalities: A subject must not have any clinically significant, uncontrolled condition or disease state that, in the opinion of the
investigator, would put the safety of the subject at risk through study participation or would confound the interpretation of the efficacy results if the condition/disease exacerbated during the study.
8. Respiratory tract infection that is not resolved within 2 weeks prior to screening.
CONCOMITANT MEDICATIONS
9. Treatment with intranasal steroid, inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) with or without longacting beta2-agonist (LABA), and treatment with non-ICS controller asthma medications (i.e., leukotriene modifier, methylxanthines) within 4 weeks prior to screening.
10. Use of antihistamines within 7 days' or short-acting antihistamines within 72 hours prior to the screening skin prick test.
11. Treatment with systemic corticosteroids within 6 weeks prior to screening.
12. Use of inhaled SABAs as rescue treatment on average for more than 2 days per week.
RELEVANT HABITS
13. History of regular alcohol consumption within 6 months of the study defined as:
An average weekly intake of >14 units for males and females. One unit is equivalent to 8 g of alcohol: a half-pint (~240 ml) of beer, 1 glass (125 ml) of wine or 1 (25 ml) measure of spirits.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
14. Patient known to be intolerant to salbutamol or albuterol.
15. History of sensitivity to any of the study medications, or components thereof or a history of drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator or GSK
Medical Monitor, contraindicates their participation.
DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENTS AND OTHER CRITERIA
16. Presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), positive hepatitis C antibody test result at screening or within 3 months prior to first dose of study treatment. For potent immunosuppressive agents, subjects with presence of hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) should also be excluded.
17. A positive pre-study drug/alcohol screen
18. A positive test for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) antibody
19. Where participation in the study would result in donation of blood or blood products in excess of 500 mL within a 56 day period.
20. The subject has participated in a clinical trial and has received an investigational product within the following time period prior to the first dosing day in the current
study: 30 days, 5 half-lives or twice the duration of the biological effect of the investigational product (whichever is longer)
21.Exposure to more than 4 investigational medicinal products within 12 months prior to the first dosing day |
