简要总结

This 4-week clinical study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Albuterol Sulfate HFA Inhalation Aerosol in comparison with the Active Control, Proventil-HFA (3M Pharmaceuticals, Inc) in pediatric patients (4-11 years old) with mild-to-moderate asthma. In addition, pharmacokinetic profile in this population will be evaluated using a population PK approach with sparse blood samples.

详细描述

This study consists of two periods:

  1. Run-in Period (7-14 days): During the Run-in Period, subjects will maintain their current inhaled short-acting B2-agonist and inhaled corticosteroid therapies. All long-acting b-agonists (LABA) will be prohibited and replaced with a short-acting B2-agonist (Ventolin-HFA) and an inhaled corticosteroid, for a minimum of 7 days. Such LABA replacement therapy is not considered as violation of the asthma stability. The current orally inhaled corticosteroids may be maintained at the prescribed dosing regimen. All concomitant medications must be compliant or adjusted to the restrictions and washout time limits per Appendix II. Subjects will document their daily asthma symptom scores, treatment regimens, concomitant medications, PEF records, and adverse events if any.
  2. Study Period (4 wk): During the 4-week Study Period, subjects will be randomized into one of the following 2 double-blinded treatment groups:
  • Treatment T (Albuterol-HFA, N=24): 216 mcg albuterol sulfate (equivalent to 180 mcg albuterol base), oral inhalation, QID;
  • Treatment R (Proventil-HFA, N=24): 216 mcg albuterol sulfate (equivalent to 180 mcg albuterol base), oral inhalation, QID.

During the Study Period, subjects will document their daily asthma symptom scores, treatment regimens, concomitant medications, PEF records, and adverse events if any. Three Clinical Visits are to be conducted, for measurement of treatment efficacy with serial spirometry (at Clinical Visit 1 and 3); for monitoring safety and compliance (at Clinical Visit 1, 2 and 3); and for evaluating pharmacokinetic profiles in part of the study population (greater than or equal to 6 subjects per Arm) using a population PK approach (PPK) with a sparse blood sampling regimen (at Clinical Visit 3).

入选标准

  • Generally healthy.
  • Male and female mild-to-moderate asthma patients.
  • Aged 4 - 11 yr (upon screening).
  • Female patients must be premenarchal upon Visit-1, and those who become menarchal during the study must use an accepted method of contraception including abstinence.
  • A documented history of asthma, for at-least 6-months prior to Screening, requiring inhaled B-adrenergic agonists, with or without inhaled corticosteroids for asthma symptom control.
  • Satisfying asthma stability criterion, defined as no changes in asthma therapy and no asthma-related hospitalization or emergency room visits, over the 4 weeks prior to Screening.
  • Being able to withhold treatment with inhaled bronchodilators and/or restricted medications for the minimum washout periods indicated in Appendix II, for the purpose of conducting clinical visits.
  • Having a baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), that is 50.0-100.0% of predicted values at the screening (Screening Baseline FEV1).
  • Demonstrating a greater than or equal to 12.0% reversibility in the Reversibility Test, at 30 min after inhaling 2-4 puffs (180-360 mcg) of Ventolin-HFA.
  • Demonstrating correct use of metered-dose inhaler (MDIs), and acceptable performance in the FEV1 measurements.
  • Has properly consented, with a parent or a legal guardian, to participate in this study.

排除标准

  • Any current or past significant medical conditions that, according to the investigator, might affect pharmacodynamic response to the study drugs, such as significant systemic or respiratory diseases (e.g., cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, emphysema, nonreversible pulmonary diseases), other than asthma.
  • Concurrent clinically significant cardiovascular, hematological, renal, neurological, hepatic, and endocrine disorders, or psychiatric diseases.
  • Known intolerance or hypersensitivity to any component of the MDI formulation (e.g., albuterol, HFA-134a, oleic acid, ethanol).
  • Recent upper (within 2 weeks) or lower (within 4 weeks) respiratory tract infection before screening.
  • Recent (within 4 weeks) use of systemic (or oral) corticosteroids and B-adrenergic bronchodilators; or recent (within 2 weeks) use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), or B-blockers; before the Screening.
  • Having been on other investigational drug/device studies in the last 30 days prior to screening.
  • Known or reasonably suspected alcohol/drug abuses.
  • Having smoked within the last 12 months.
