Trial Outcomes & Findings for Single Dose Study of the Effect of Formoterol Fumarate in Combination With Mometasone Furoate Inhaled Via a Pressurized Metered Dose Inhaler (pMDI) in Children Aged 5-11 Years Old With Persistent Asthma (NCT NCT00746330)

NCT ID: NCT00746330

Last Updated: 2011-06-07

Results Overview

For FEV1 AUC(0-12h) the trapezoidal rule was applied using planned time measurements to calculate the AUC up to and including the last measurement recorded before intake of rescue medication. The AUC was standardized by dividing by the length of time for which measurements of FEV1 were included in the calculation of the AUC thus adjusting for subjects who were unable to complete the measurements during the 12-hour observation period and without inhaling rescue medication. The unit of the AUC was in L, being a weighted average of the acceptable FEV1 measurements recorded over 12 hours post dose

Participants received a single dose of each treatment in the following order, separated by a washout period of 6-7 days: Period 1: Formoterol fumarate 12 μg via Pressurized Metered Dose Inhaler (pMDI) + placebo to formoterol fumarate via Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI); Period 2: Placebo to formoterol fumarate / mometasone furoate via pMDI + placebo to formoterol fumarate via DPI; Period 3: Placebo to formoterol fumarate / mometasone furoate via pMDI + formoterol fumarate via DPI; Period 4: Formoterol fumarate / mometasone furoate 10 μg / 100 μg via pMDI + placebo to formoterol fumarate via DPI. Participants were allowed to continue their regular asthma maintenance inhaled corticosteroid medication throughout the study and were supplied with the short-acting β2-agonist (SABA) salbutamol as rescue medication.

All efficacy evaluations were based on spirometry assessments of lung function. FEV1 is the maximum amount of air expired in one second. At Visits 2, 3, 4 and 5, spirometry assessments were performed in the clinic at predose and again at 5 and 30 minutes and 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours post-dose within ± 5 minutes of the scheduled time for the time points up to and including 60 minutes post-dose and then within ± 10 minutes for all subsequent time points. Spirometry equipment and performance of spirometric testing were in accordance with the (ATS / ERS) standards.

All efficacy evaluations were based on spirometry assessments of lung function. PEF is the greatest airflow rate achieved during forced exhalation with lungs fully inflated. At Visits 2, 3, 4 and 5, spirometry assessments were performed in the clinic at predose and again at 5 and 30 minutes and 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours post-dose within ± 5 minutes of the scheduled time for the time points up to and including 60 minutes post-dose and then within ± 10 minutes for all subsequent time points. Spirometry equipment and performance of spirometric testing were in accordance with the ATS/ERS standards

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5, 30 Minutes and 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 Hours Post-dose

Population: Because of the dosing periods where formoterol was present at concentrations greater than 5% of the Cmax data for 4 subjects was excluded. A dosing error resulted in the exclusion of 1 subject and 1 subject had all data excluded from PK evaluation due to the plasma drug concentrations in conflict with the recorded randomization.

Unchanged racemic formoterol in plasma was assayed by LC-MS/MS. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for plasma was 1.45 pmol/L. No non-compartmental PK analysis was performed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 0 to 3 hrs and 0-12 hrs

Population: The pharmacokinetic population which was modified by the exclusion of dosing periods where formoterol was present at a concentration in excess of 5% of the Cmax.Five subjects were excluded due to various reasons.

Unchanged racemic formoterol in urine was assayed by LC-MS/MS. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for urine was 0.0174 nmol/L expressed as free base. The amounts of unchanged formoterol excreted in urine from 0 to 3 hours (Ae0-3) and from 0 to 12 hours post-dose (Ae0-12) were calculated from the formoterol concentrations in urine and the urine volumes using non-compartmental methods.
