Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Mild Persistent Asthma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02584257
Lead Sponsor
Lupin, Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the pharmacodynamic bioequivalence of the test product to the reference product, using bronchoprovocation (methacholine challenge testing) in adult patients with stable mild asthma.

Detailed Description

A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Placebo-Controlled, 5-Treatment, Randomized, Crossover Study to Demonstrate the Pharmacodynamic Bioequivalence of Test and Reference Metered Dose Inhalers containing Albuterol Sulfate using Bronchoprovocation in Adult Patients with Stable Mild Asthma

Recruitment & Eligibility

Sex
All
Target Recruitment
217
Inclusion Criteria
  • Male and non-pregnant female subjects (18-65 years of age)
  • Stable mild asthmatics based on National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) guidelines.
  • Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second ( FEV1) ≥ 80% of predicted. Airway responsiveness to methacholine demonstrated by a pre-albuterol dose (baseline) PC20 ≤ 8 mg/ml.
  • Nonsmokers for at least 1 year prior to the study and a maximum smoking history of five pack-years (the equivalent of one pack per day for five years).
  • Written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Conditions which could alter airway reactivity to methacholine (e.g., pneumonia, upper respiratory tract infection, lower respiratory tract, viral bronchitis and/or sinobronchitis) within six weeks preceding the screening visit.
  • History of seasonal asthma exacerbations, in which case the patient should be studied outside of the relevant allergen season.
  • History of cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis or other respiratory diseases.
  • History of cardiovascular, renal, neurologic, liver or endocrine dysfunction, or chronic condition that could put the safety of the patient at risk during the study or affect the efficacy and safety analyses during the study.
  • Treatment in an emergency room, urgent care center, or hospitalization for acute asthmatic symptoms within the past 6 months or need for daily oral corticosteroids within past 3 months.
  • Known intolerance or hypersensitivity to any component of the albuterol metered dose inhaler (MDI).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Post-dose PC20 Concentration After Receiving Differing Doses of Test, Reference, or PlaceboPost-dose at Visits 2-6 of the study, a total of approximately 4 weeks.

The primary efficacy endpoint was the postdose PC20 following administration of differing doses of albuterol (or placebo) by inhalation. The 20% reduction in FEV1 was determined relative to the saline stage FEV1 measured before albuterol or placebo administration. Additionally, an analysis of superiority to placebo was performed for the T and R products prior to the BE determination. In this study the ITT and PP populations were identical.
