Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with esomeprazole for 6 months will improve asthma in adult patients with moderate to severe asthma and symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Mean Change in Morning Peak Expiratory Flow (mPEF (L/Minute)) From Baseline (Mean of the Last 7 Days in the run-in Period) to Treatment Period (Mean of All Available Data During the Treatment Period).

Time Frame: Baseline to 6 months

Peak expiratory flow is defined as the maximum speed of expiration as measured with the Mini-Wright® PEF Meter. Participants must have both baseline and follow up measure to be included in analysis. Results presented as a mean of all available data during the treatment period.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Changes in Average Value From Baseline to Treatment Period in Evening Peak Expiratory Flow (ePEF (L/Minute))(Baseline to 6 months)
  • Changes in Average Value From Baseline to Treatment Period in Asthma Symptom Score - Total(Baseline to 6 months)
  • Changes in Average Value From Baseline to Treatment Period in Number of Inhalations of Short-acting β2-agonists (SABAs) - Total From Baseline to 6 Months(Baseline to 6 months)
  • Changes in Average Value From Baseline to Treatment Period in Percentage of Nights With Awakening(s) Due to Asthma(Baseline to 6 months)
  • Change in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) From Randomization to Treatment Period.(From randomization (Visit 3) to visit 7.)
  • Number of Patients With Severe Asthma Exacerbations.(Up to 6 months)
  • Change in Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire, Standardized Version (AQLQ(S)) Scores From Randomization (Visit 3) to Visit 7(From randomization (Visit 3) to Visit 7)
  • Change in Symptoms of GERD as Measured by Reflux Disease Questionnaire (RDQ) From Randomization (Visit 3) to Visit 7(Randomization (Visit 3) to Visit 7)
  • Number of Severe Adverse Events(Up to 6 months)
  • Changes in Average Value From Baseline to Treatment Period in Asthma Symptom Score - Night(Baseline to 6 months)
  • Changes in Average Value From Baseline to Treatment Period in Asthma Symptom Score - Day(Baseline to 6 months)
  • Changes in Average Value From Baseline to Treatment Period in Number of Inhalations of Short-acting β2-agonists (SABAs) - Night(Baseline to 6 months)
