E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of QMF149
150/80 microgram o.d. (in the evening) delivered via Concept1 compared with
MF 200 microgram o.d. (in the evening) delivered via Twisthaler® in terms of
trough FEV1 after 12 weeks of treatment in adults and adolescents. |
L’obiettivo primario di questo studio è di dimostrare la superiorità di QMF149 150/80 microgrammi o.d. (alla sera) somministrato con Concept1 rispetto a MF 200 microgrammi o.d. (alla sera) somministrato con Twisthaler®, in termini di FEV1 pre-dose dopo 12 settimane di trattamento, in pazienti adulti e adolescenti con asma |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The key secondary objective of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of QMF149
150/80 microgram to MF 200 microgram o.d. in terms of ACQ-7 after 12 weeks
of treatment. |
L’obiettivo secondario principale è di dimostrare la superiorità di QMF149 150/80 microgrammi rispetto a MF 200 microgrammi o.d. in termini di ACQ-7 dopo 12 settimane di trattamento |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
-Patients with a documented diagnosis of asthma for a period of at least 3 months prior to Screening Visit
- Patients who have used low dose ICS , with or without controller (ie, LABA, Leukotriene Receptor Antagonist ) at stable dose for at least 1 month prior to Screening Visit
-Adult patients who are symptomatic at screening despite treatment with existing therapy.
Patients with ACQ-7 score ≥ 1.5 at Visit 101 and at Visit 102 (inadequately
controlled).
- Adolescent patients :
If taking only ICS (without LABA) and are symptomatic at screening despite treatment with low doses of ICS. These patients must have ACQ-7 score ≥ 1.5 at Visit 101
and at Visit 102 .
If taking ICS (low dose)/ LABA, and have ACQ-7 score ≥1 and <1.5 at Visit 101: they must have ACQ-7 score≥1.5 at Visit 102 ( prior to randomization).
-Pre-bronchodilator FEV1≥ 60 % and < 90 % of the predicted normal value for the patient
after withholding bronchodilators at both Visits 101 and 102
-Patients who demonstrate an increase in FEV1 of 12% and ≥ 200 mL within 30 minutes after
administration of 400 microgram salbutamol/360 microgram albuterol (or equivalent dose) at Visit 101.
|
Pazienti adulti con asma che sono sintomatici allo screening nonostante il trattamento con la terapia esistente. I pazienti devono avere un punteggio ACQ-7 ≥1.5 alla Visita 101 e alla Visita 102 (cioè inadeguatamente controllato).
Pazienti adolescenti con asma:
• pazienti che stanno assumendo basse dosi di ICS (senza LABA), che sono sintomatici allo screening nonostante il trattamento con ICS. Questi pazienti devono avere un punteggio ACQ-7 ≥1.5 alla Visita 101 e alla Visita 102 (cioè inadeguatamente controllato).
• Pazienti che stanno assumendo una dose bassa di ICS/LABA, possono essere inclusi solo se il punteggio ACQ-7 ≥1 e < 1.5 alla Visita 101 (cioè adeguatamente controllato). Comunque il punteggio ACQ-7 deve essere ≥1.5 alla visita 102.
FEV1 pre-dose ≥ 60% e < 90% del valore predetto normale
Reversibilità di FEV1 ≥ 12% e ≥ 200 mL
|

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Patients who have smoked or inhaled tobacco products (including electronic
cigarettes) within the 6 month period prior to Visit 1, or who have a smoking
history of greater than or equal to 10 pack year.
• Patients who have had an asthma attack/exacerbation requiring systemic
steroids or hospitalization (> 24 hours) or emergency room visit (≤ 24 hours) as
follows:
• For adults: within 6 weeks of Screening Visit. If patients experience an asthma
attack/exacerbation requiring systemic steroids or emergency room visit
between Visit 1 and Visit 102 they may be re-screened 6 weeks after recovery
from the exacerbation
• For adolescents: Exacerbation requiring systemic steroids, hospitalization (> 24
hours) or emergency room visit (≤24 hours) within 6 months, prior to visit 1.
• Patients who ever required intubation for a severe asthma attack/exacerbation
• Patients with a clinical condition (eg. glaucoma, cataract and fragility fractures)
which may be worsened by ICS administration (according to investigator's
medical judgment )
• Patients who have had a respiratory tract infection or asthma worsening within
4 weeks prior to Screening Visit or between Visit 1and Visit 102. Patients may
be re-screened 4 weeks after recovery from their respiratory tract infection or
asthma worsening.
• Patients with any chronic conditions affecting the upper respiratory tract (eg.
chronic sinusitis) which in the opinion of the investigator may interfere with the
study.
Patients with a history of chronic lung diseases other than asthma, including
(but not limited to) COPD, sarcoidosis, interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis,
clinically significant bronchiectasis and active tuberculosis.
• Patients with Type I diabetes or uncontrolled Type II diabetes.
• Patients with narcolepsy and/or insomnia.
• Patients on Maintenance Immunotherapy (desensitization) for allergies or less
than 3 months prior to Visit 101 or patients on Maintenance Immunotherapy for
more than 3 months prior to Visit 101 but expected to change throughout the
course of the study.
• Patients with diagnosed rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the
Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption or with known
intolerance to lactose or milk products. |

Se i pazienti che hanno avuto un attacco/esacerbazione di asma che ha richiesto steroidi sistemici o ricovero ospedaliero o visita in pronto soccorso tra la visita 1 e la visita 102, possono essere ri-selezionati 6 settimane dopo il ricovero dall’esacerbazione.
