Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of fluticasone furoate/vilanterol (GW642444) inhalation powder administered once daily with fluticasone propionate/salmeterol administered twice daily in adolescent and adult subjects 12 years of age and older with persistent bronchial asthma over a 24-week period.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline in Weighted-mean 24 Hour Serial FEV1 on Day 168/Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 168/Week 24
Pulmonary function was measured by FEV1, defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. The weighted mean was calculated from the pre-dose FEV1 and post-dose FEV1 measurements at 5, 15, and 30 minutes (min) and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 12.5, 13, 14, 16, 20, 23, and 24 hours, respectively, on Day 168/Week 24. Change from Baseline was calculated as the weighted mean of the 24-hour serial FEV1 measures on Day 168/Week 24 minus the Baseline value. Baseline was the pre-dose measurement on Day 1. Analysis was performed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with covariates of Baseline FEV1, region, sex, age, and treatment.
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of Participants With the Indicated Time to Onset of Bronchodilator Effect at Day 1(Baseline to Day 1)
- Change From Baseline in Weighted Mean Serial FEV1 Over 0-4 Hours at Day 168(Baseline and Day 168)
- Number of Participants Obtaining a >=12% and >=200 mL Increase From Baseline in FEV1(Baseline and Day 168)
- Serial FEV1 (0-24 Hours)(Day 168)
- Change From Baseline in Weighted Mean Serial FEV1 Over 0-4 Hours Post First Dose (at Randomization)(Baseline and Randomization)
- Change From Baseline in Trough FEV1 at Day 168(Baseline and Day 168)
