Overview
Brief Summary
The trial is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 5 µg tiotropium over a 48-week treatment period as compared to placebo. Tiotropium inhalation solution delivered by the Respimat® inhaler will be examined as add-on controller therapy on top of usual care in patients with severe persistent asthma.
The primary objective of each trial is to evaluate the long term efficacy of tiotropium over placebo on top of usual care in patients with severe persistent asthma as determined by pulmonary function testing, effects on asthma exacerbations, effects on quality of life, on asthma control and health care resource utilisation. The secondary objective of each trial is to compare the long term safety of tiotropium with placebo in this patient population.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Peak Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Response Within 3 Hours Post Dosing (0-3h) After a Treatment Period of 24 Weeks.
Time Frame: Baseline and 24 weeks
Peak FEV1 0-3h response was defined as the difference between the maximum FEV1 measured within the first 3 hours post dosing after a treatment period of 24 weeks and the FEV1 baseline measurement (10 minutes before the first dose of trial medication). Mixed Model Repeated Measure (MMRM) results. Means are adjusted for treatment, centre, visit, baseline, treatment\*visit and baseline\*visit.
Time to First Severe Asthma Exacerbation During the 48-week Treatment of the Pooled Data From the Two Twin Trials 205.416 (NCT00772538) and the Present 205.417 (NCT00776984).
Time Frame: 48 weeks
Severe asthma exacerbations were pre-defined as all asthma exacerbations that required treatment with systemic (including oral) corticosteroids for at least 3 days or (in case of ongoing and pre-existing systemic corticosteroid therapy) that required at least a doubling of the previous daily dose of systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 days.
Trough FEV1 Response Determined After a Treatment Period of 24 Weeks.
Time Frame: Baseline and 24 weeks
The trough FEV1 is defined as the pre-dose FEV1 measured 10 minutes before the last administration of randomised treatment. Trough FEV1 response was defined as the difference between the trough FEV1 measured after a treatment period of 24 weeks and the FEV1 baseline measurement. MMRM results. Means are adjusted for treatment, centre, visit, baseline, treatment\*visit and baseline\*visit.
