简要总结
This study is designed to determine whether TC-6987 improves respiratory function in subjects with asthma by reducing airway hyper-responsiveness and inflammation.
详细描述
Asthma is a common, chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways that affects an estimated 20 to 22 million people in the United States. It is characterized by variable and recurring symptoms, notably airflow obstruction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and an underlying inflammation. The bronchospasm is caused by inflammation of the muscles surrounding the air passageways, making them smaller, thus more difficult for air to freely move in and out of the lungs. Cardinal symptoms of asthma include coughing, chest tightness, shortness of breath and wheezing. These symptoms are often more severe in the morning and late night, and usually reversible with medications. Clinically, asthma is typically classified according to the frequency of symptoms, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and peak expiratory flow rate.
The rationale for this Phase II proof of concept study is to demonstrate that TC-6987 improves respiratory function in subjects with asthma, compared to placebo, as measured by the Baseline FEV1 on Day 1 compared to the End-of-Treatment FEV1 on Day 28 or Early Withdrawal (EW); and also to assess the safety and tolerability profile of TC-6987 in subjects with asthma.

- •A FEV1 value at Screening that is 60-90% of predicted FEV
- •Age 18 to 65, males or females.
排除标准
- •Diagnosis or presence of other pulmonary diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema.
- •Previous life-threatening asthma, such as asthma requiring intubation or ICU admission for asthma.
- •Prolonged hospitalization for asthma within the past year (emergency room treatments using nebulized beta-agonists is permitted).
- •Not able and willing to stop the use of long-acting beta-agonists (LABAs), cromolyn sodium, methylxanthines, anticholinergic agents, leukotriene inhibitors, or any other non-ICS or non-SABA prescription or over-the-counter anti-asthma medication, including antihistamines, during Screening and during the Study.

- •History of upper respiratory tract infection (URI) requiring treatment during the last month prior to Screening.
- •Tobacco use within 3 months prior to Screening, or > 5 pack-year lifetime tobacco use.
- •Use of smoking cessation therapy within 3 months prior to Screening.
- •Uncontrolled Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Subjects on a stable dose of non-prescription or prescription medications who have been symptom free for 4 wks prior to screening are eligible.
- •History within past 6 months of alcohol abuse or illicit drug abuse.
- •Myocardial infarction within 12 months prior to Screening.
- •Known hypothyroidism, vitamin B12, or folic acid deficiency.
- •Known systemic infection (HBV, HCV, HIV, TB).
- •FSH level of < 35 IU/L and a LH level < 25 IU/L.
- •Urine cotinine level > 50 ng/ml.
- •Body Mass Index (BMI) <15 and >
