Patients completing A PRIOR PHASE 3 STUDY OF QAW039:
1a. Informed consent and assent (if applicable) may be obtained at Visit 1 or within 14 days
of Visit 1. Informed consent and assent (if applicable) must be obtained before any study
assessment is performed.
2a. Completion of the treatment period (on blinded study drug) of a prior Phase 3 study of
QAW039 (i.e., did not discontinue blinded study treatment prematurely).
3a. Patient is able to safely continue into the study as judged by the investigator.
Patients who HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY PARTICIPATED IN A STUDY OF QAW039:
1a. Informed consent and assent (if applicable) may be obtained at Visit 1 or within 14 days
of Visit 1. Informed consent and assent (if applicable) must be obtained before any study
assessment is performed.
2b. Male and female patients at a minimum age of 12 years (or higher minimum age limit as
allowed by health authority and/or ethics committee/institutional review board (IRB)
approvals).
3b. Patients must have a diagnosis of asthma (according to GINA 2016) for a period of at least
24 months prior to screening visit (Visit 1).
4b. Patients have been treated with GINA steps 4 or 5 standard-of-care (SoC) asthma therapy
for at least 3 months prior to Visit 1. The doses must have been stable for at least 4 weeks
prior to Visit 1.
5b. Demonstration of inadequate control of asthma based on an ACQ score greater than or equal to 1.5 at Visit 1.
6b. For patients aged greater than or equal to 18 years, FEV1 of greater than or equal to 40% and less than or equal to 85% of the predicted normal value for the patient, after withholding bronchodilators at Visit 1. For patients aged 12 to less than 18 years, FEV1 of greater than or equal to 40% and less than or equal to 90% of the predicted normal value for the patient, after withholding bronchodilators at Visit 1.
7b. An increase of greater than or equal to 12% and greater than or equal to 200 ml in FEV1 approximately 10 to 15 minutes after
administration of 400 mcg of salbutamol/albuterol (or equivalent dose) prior to randomization. Spacer devices are not permitted during reversibility testing. All patients must perform a reversibility test at the Visit 1.
Patients completing a prior phase 3 study of QAW039:
1. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women.
2. Women of child-bearing potential unless they are using basic methods of contraception during dosing of study drug
3. Patients who did not complete the Treatment Period on blinded study drug of the prior QAW039 study they participated in.
4. Inability to comply with all study requirements.
5. Patient who experienced a serious and drug-related AE in the prior QAW039 study they participated in.
Patients who have not previously participated in a study of QAW039:
6. Use of other investigational drugs within 5 half-lives of study entry, or within 30 days, whichever is longer.
7. Subjects who have participated in another trial of QAW039 (i.e. the patient was randomized in another study).
8. A QTcF (Fridericia) greater than or equal to 450 msec (male) or greater than or equal to 460 msec (female).
9. History of malignancy with the exception of local basal cell carcinoma of the skin
10. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women.
11. Serious co-morbidities
12. Patients on greater than 20 mg of simvastatin, greater than 40 mg of atorvastatin, greater than 40 mg of pravastatin, or greater than 2 mg of pitavastatin. Statin doses less than or equal to these doses as well as other statins will be permitted during the study.
