E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Asthma is an important global health problem that affects people of all ages . Despite effective and safe therapeutic options, up to 75% of patients with asthma remain uncontrolled . It remains to be clarified whether triple therapy is better than high dose ICS/LABA in patients with uncontrolled asthma despite the use of medium dose ICS/LABA combinations, particularly in cases with high T2 biomarkers values. |
El asma es un importante problema de salud mundial que afecta a personas de todas las edades . A pesar de las opciones terapéuticas eficaces y seguras, hasta el 75% de los pacientes con asma siguen sin estar controlados . Queda por aclarar si la triple terapia es mejor que las dosis altas de CSI/LABA en los pacientes con asma no controlada a pesar del uso de combinaciones de dosis medias de CSI/LABA, especialmente en los casos con valores elevados de biomarcadores T2. |

E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Hypothesis. Triple therapy with medium dose ICS/LABA/LAMA is non-inferior to high dose ICS/LABA (the approach currently suggested by Guidelines) to achieve control (both Asthma control test ≥ 20 and no exacerbations) in patients with T2-high asthma (defined as either > 300 cels/mm3 blood eosinophils or exhaled nitric oxide ≥ 25 ppb). Objectives. -Main objective: The primary endpoint will be to compare in both treatment arms the percentage of patients controlled at week 52, with both an Asthma Control Test (ACT) score of 20 or greater and no severe exacerbations. |
Hipótesis. El tratamiento triple con dosis medias de CSI/LABA/LAMA no es inferior a las dosis altas de CSI/LABA (el enfoque actualmente sugerido por las Guías) para lograr el control (tanto un resultado del test de control del asma ≥ 20 como la ausencia de exacerbaciones) en pacientes con asma T2-alta (definida como > 300 cels/mm3 de eosinófilos en sangre o óxido nítrico exhalado ≥ 25 ppb). Objetivos. -Objetivo principal: El objetivo principal será comparar en ambos brazos de tratamiento el porcentaje de pacientes controlados en la semana 52 (puntuación del Test de Control del Asma (ACT) ≥ 20 y ausencia de exacerbaciones graves). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To compare, the percentage of patients controlled at week 24, ACT at weeks 12, 24 and 52, Asthma Impairment and Risk Questionnaire (AIRQ) at weeks 12, 24 and 52, quality of life (Mini-AQLQ) at weeks 12, 24 and 52, postbronchodilator FEV1 at weeks 12, 24 and 52, severe exacerbations at week 24 and 52. To compare, the percentage of patients who achieved the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in ACT and Mini-AQLQ at weeks 12, 24 and 52. Differences between groups in 8 AM serum cortisol at week 52. Adherence at week 52 in the two arms. Factors related to triple and high-dose ICS/LABA failure and success (control) at week 52. Safety endpoints will include: Incidence of serious adverse events of pneumonia during the study Time to first serious adverse event of pneumonia Deaths due to serious events of pneumonia Incidence and type of serious adverse events Incidence and type of adverse drug reactions |
Comparar el porcentaje de pacientes controlados en la semana 24, el ACT , el Cuestionario de Deterioro y Riesgo del Asma en las semanas 12, 24 y 52, la calidad de vida en las semanas 12, 24 y 52, el FEV1 posbroncodilatador en las semanas 12, 24 y 52, las exacerbaciones graves en la semana 24 y 52. Comparar el porcentaje de pacientes que alcanzaron la diferencia mínima clínicamente importante en el ACT y el Mini-AQLQ en las semanas 12, 24 y 52. Diferencias entre grupos en el cortisol sérico a las 8 AM en la semana 52. La adherencia semana 52 . Factores relacionados con el fracaso y el éxito de las dosis triples y altas de CSI/LABA en la semana 52. Los criterios de valoración de seguridad incluirán: Incidencia de acontecimientos adversos graves de neumonía Tiempo hasta el primer acontecimiento adverso grave de neumonía Muertes debidas a acontecimientos graves de neumonía Incidencia y tipo de acontecimientos adversos graves Incidencia y tipo de reacciones adversas |
