入选标准

  • Current inclusion criteria as of 24/07/2015:
  • 1. Adults (aged 16-75 years inclusive)
  • 2. A clinical diagnosis of asthma for =6 months supported by evidence of any one of the following:
  • 2.1. Airflow variability with a mean diurnal peak expiratory flow (PEF) variability >15% during the baseline 2-week period or a variability in FEV1 of >20% across clinic visits within the preceding 12 months, with concomitant evidence of airflow obstruction (FEV1/FVC ratio <70%);
  • 2.2. Airway reversibility with an improvement in FEV1 by =12% or 200 ml after inhalation of 400 µg of salbutamol via a metered dose inhaler and spacer at first study visit or within the preceding 12 months;
  • 2.3. Airway hyper-responsiveness demonstrated by Methacholine challenge testing with a provocative concentration of Methacholine required to cause a 20% reduction in FEV1 (PC20) of =8mg/ml or equivalent test (See Appendix 3).
  • 3. Severe asthma:
  • 3.1. Requirement for high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (=1000µg/day beclomethasone (BDP) or equivalent – see Appendix 4) plus a second controller (long-acting ß2-agonist or anti-muscarinic, theophylline, or leukotriene antagonist), and/or systemic corticosteroids.
  • 3.2. If on maintenance corticosteroids, the maintenance dose must have been stable for 3-months– this excludes any interim need for short-term steroid bursts to treat exacerbations.
  • 4. Poorly controlled asthma demonstrated by BOTH:
  • 4.1. =2 severe asthma exacerbations, requiring systemic corticosteroids =30mg prednisolone or equivalent daily (or =50% increase in dose if maintenance 30mg prednisolone or above), for 3 or more days, during the previous 12 months, despite the use of high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and additional controller medication;
  • 4.2. ACQ (7-point) score >1 at Screening Visit 1 and Randomisation Visit 2.
  • 5. Atopic status:
  • 5.1. Sensitisation to =1 perennial indoor aeroallergen[2] (including House Dust Mite, domestic pet or fungi) to which they are likely to be exposed during the study, demonstrated by a positive skin prick test (wheal diameter =3mm more than negative control) or specific IgE =0.35 IU/L).
  • 6. Exacerbation free and taking stable maintenance asthma medications (not including short-acting bronchodilator or other reliever therapies) for at least 2-weeks prior to Screening Visit 1
  • 7. Exacerbation free and taking stable maintenance asthma medications (not including short-acting bronchodilator or other reliever therapies) in the period between Screening Visit 1 and Randomisation Visit 2.(the Screening Period). Participants suffering a severe exacerbation during the Screening Period can be rescreened 2 weeks after returning to their maintenance asthma medications (See 11.3.2)
  • 8. Able to use the TLA device during sleep on at least five nights per week (excluding holidays)
  • 9. Able to understand and give written informed consent prior to participation in the trial and able to comply with the trial requirements
  • Previous inclusion criteria:
  • 1. Adults (aged 18-75 years inclusive)
  • 2. A clinical diagnosis of asthma for =6 months prior to trial entry supported by evidence of either:
  • 2.1. Airflow variabili

排除标准

  • 1. Current smokers or ex-smokers abstinent for <6 months
  • 2. Ex-smokers with =15 pack year smoking history
  • 3. Partner who is a current smoker and smokes within the bedroom where the TLA device is installed
  • 4. TLA device cannot be safely installed within the bedroom, intending to move out of study area within the trial period or unable to use the TLA device for at least 8 hours on at least 5 nights per week
  • 5. Documented poor treatment adherence
  • 6. Occupational asthma with continued exposure to known sensitising agents in the workplace
  • 7. Previous bronchial thermoplasty within 12 months
  • 8. Maintenance treatment with Omalizumab (anti-IgE) within 3 months
  • 9. Using long-term oxygen, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) routinely overnight as this will impair the effect of the TLA device
  • 10. Uncontrolled symptomatic gastro-oesophageal reflux that may act as a persistent asthma trigger
  • 11. Presence of clinically significant lung disease other than asthma, including smoking-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis associated with recurrent bacterial infection, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (mycosis), pulmonary fibrosis, sleep apnoea, pulmonary hypertension, or lung cancer
  • 12. Patients with clinically significant co-morbidity (including cardiovascular, endocrine, metabolic, gastro-intestinal, hepatic, neurological, renal, haematological and malignant conditions) that remains uncontrolled with standard treatment
  • 13. Patients currently taking part in other interventional clinical trials
