Study Overview
Brief Summary
The study is a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of selected doses and dose intervals of the novel long acting beta agonist (LABA), GW642444 in asthmatic subjects ≥18 years of age who are currently receiving inhaled corticosteroid treatment.
Detailed Description
The study will be a five-period cross-over study with each 7 day treatment period separated by a 7 day wash-out period. The study will enroll asthmatic subjects ≥18 years of age who are currently receiving inhaled corticosteroid treatment with an FEV1 of between 40-85% of predicted normal and with airway reversibility as demonstrated by an increase in FEV1 of ≥12% and ≥200ml .
Efficacy assessments include 24-hour serial lung function testing. Safety assessments include incidence of adverse events and measurement of vital signs.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline in Trough (Pre-bronchodilator and Pre-dose) FEV1 on Day 7 of the Treatment Period
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 7 of the treatment period (up to Study Day 63)
Pulmonary function was measured by forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. Trough FEV1 is defined as the mean of the FEV1 values obtained at the last two scheduled time points at the Day 7 clinic visit (i.e., 11 and 12 hours after the morning dose, or 23 and 24 hours after the evening dose). Change from Baseline was calculated as the Day 7 value minus the Baseline value. Analysis was performed using a mixed model analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with fixed effects of treatment, period, sex, and age. Participants is fitted as a random effect, and the period Baseline measurement is included as part of a bivariate response. The model for the period Baseline value is not affected by treatment group.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change From Baseline in Weighted Mean 24-hour FEV1 on Day 7 of the Treatment Period(Baseline and Day 7 of the treatment period (up to Study Day 63))
