Registration Number
NCT01397162
Lead Sponsor
Boehringer Ingelheim
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to assess and compare efficacy and safety of BI 54903 at 3 doses twice daily (b.i.d.) and fluticasone propionate hydrofluoroalkane metered dose inhaler (HFA MDI) at a dose of 88 mcg b.i.d and placebo b.i.d. over an 8-week treatment period in asthmatic patients aged 12 to 65 years inadequately controlled on short-acting-beta-agonist (SABA) prn therapy only as demonstrated by a decrease in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) range10 to 25% and an asthma control questionnaire (ACQ-6) equal or greater than 1.5 at time of randomization

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Change From the Randomisation Baseline to the End of the 8-week Treatment Period in Trough (Morning Pre-dose and Pre-rescue Bronchodilator ) Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1)At baseline and week 8.

Mean change from the randomisation baseline to the end of the 8-week treatment period in trough (morning pre-dose and pre-rescue bronchodilator ) forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to Withdrawal Due to First Asthma ExacerbationAt week 8.

Time to withdrawal due to first asthma exacerbation.

Mean Changes From Randomisation Baseline in Trough (Pre-dose and Pre-rescue Bronchodilator) Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) After 2 and 4-week Treatment PeriodsAt baseline and at week 2 and 4.

Mean changes from randomisation baseline in trough (pre-dose and pre-rescue bronchodilator) forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) after 2 and 4-week treatment periods.

Mean Changes From Randomisation Baseline in Trough (Pre-dose and Pre-rescue Bronchodilator) Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) After 2, 4 and 8-week Treatment PeriodsAt baseline and week 2, 4, 8.

Mean changes from randomisation baseline in trough (pre-dose and pre-rescue bronchodilator) forced vital capacity (FVC) after 2, 4 and 8-week treatment periods.

Mean Changes From Randomisation Baseline in Trough (Morning Pre-dose and Prerescue Bronchodilator) FEF25-75 After 2, 4 and 8-week Treatment PeriodsAt baseline and at week 2, 4 and 8.

Mean change from randomization baseline in through (morning pre-dose and pre-rescue bronchodilator) Forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of vital capacity (FEF 25-75) after 2, 4 and 8-week treatment periods.

Mean Pre-dose (and Pre-rescue) Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) as Assessed Via Asthma Monitor (AM2+) in the Morning and Evening, of the Last Week of the 8-week Treatment PeriodAt week 8.

Mean pre-dose (and pre-rescue) peak expiratory flow (PEF) as assessed via asthma monitor (AM2+) in the morning and evening of the last week of the 8-week treatment period.

Mean Change From Randomisation Baseline in Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-6) Scores at Subsequent Study VisitsAt baseline and at week 2, 4 and 8.

The Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) consists of 6 patient self-evaluated questions with each question in 7-point scale. The items are equally weighted and the ACQ score is the mean of 6 items and ranges between 0 (well controlled) and 6 (extremely poorly controlled). Mean scores of less than or equal to 0.75 indicate well-controlled asthma, scores between 0.76 and less than 1.5 indicate partly controlled asthma, and a score greater than or equal to 1.5 indicates uncontrolled asthma.

Mean Rescue Medication Use (Daytime and Night-time) as Assessed Via Asthma Monitor (AM2+) in the Morning and Evening, of the Last Week of the 8-week Treatment PeriodAt week 8.

Mean rescue medication use (daytime and night-time) as assessed via asthma monitor (AM2+) in the morning and evening, of the last week of the 8-week treatment period.

Mean Change From Randomisation Baseline in Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ(S)+12) Scores at Subsequent Study VisitsAt baseline and at week 2, 4 and 8.

AQLQ(S)+12 are well established and validated questionnaires to measure control of asthma symptoms and quality of life, which is a patient-reported self-administered outcome questionnaire containing 32 items. Each item is scored on a 7-point scale (1=maximal impairment, 7=no impairment). The 32 items of the questionnaire are averaged to produce one overall quality of life score ranging from 1 (severely impaired) to 7 (not impaired at all). Higher scores indicate better quality of life.
