E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the systemic exposure to B17MP (active metabolite of BDP), formoterol and Glycopyrronium Bromide (GB) as AUC0-t, (index of total systemic exposure) after inhalation of CHF 5993 pMDI in adolescent asthmatic patients in comparison to adult asthmatic patients.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of BDP and additional PK parameters of B17MP, formoterol and GB after inhalation of CHF 5993 pMDI in adolescent asthmatic patients in comparison to adult asthmatic patients. To evaluate the systemic effects in terms of heart rate and circulating potassium and glucose levels and also the general safety and tolerability profile of BDP/B17MP, formoterol and GB after inhalation of CHF 5993 pMDI in adolescent asthmatics. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Blood donation (equal or more than 450 ml) or blood loss, less than 2 months prior to screening or prior to Visit 1. 2. Abnormal haemoglobin level defined as < 12.0 g/dl in adolescent male and < 12.0 g/dl in adolescent female; < 13.0 g/dl in adult male and < 12.0 g/dl in adult female; 3.

Unsuitable veins for repeated venepuncture. 7. Documented history of alcohol abuse within 12 months prior to screening. 8. Documented history of drug abuse within 12 months prior to screening, or positive urine drug test performed at screening or before dosing. 9. Patients who have a positive urine test for cotinine at screening or before dosing. 10. Clinically relevant abnormal laboratory values, suggesting an unknown disease and requiring further clinical investigation. 11. Clinically relevant and uncontrolled cardiac, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, metabolic, neurologic, or psychiatric disorder that may interfere with successful completion of this protocol. 12. Known intolerance/hypersensitivity to any of the excipients/components contained in any of the formulations used in the trial. 13. Patients with medical diagnosis of narrow-angle glaucoma, prostatic hypertrophy or bladder neck obstruction that in the opinion of the investigator would prevent use of an anticholinergic. 14. Abnormal 12-lead digitized Electrocardiogram (12-lead ECG) parameter (i.e.: QRS > 120 msec and/or PR > 210 msec and/or HR < 40 bpm and/or HR > 110 bpm and/or QTcF > 450 ms for males or QTcF > 470 ms for females, considering the average from triplicate) or 12-lead ECG evaluated as abnormal clinically significant by the investigator, at screening. 15.

Participation in another clinical trial with an investigational drug in the 30 days or 5 half-lives of that investigational drug (whichever is longer) preceding the administration of the study drug; a longer and more appropriate time could be considered by the principal investigator based on the elimination half-life and/or long-term toxicity of the previous investigational drug. 17.
