Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the dose response, efficacy and safety of 4 different doses of fluticasone propionate (50, 100, 200, and 400mcg) delivered as Fluticasone Spiromax® Inhalation Powder (Fp Spiromax) when administered twice daily in subjects 12 years of age and older with severe persistent asthma who are uncontrolled on high dose ICS therapy.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Fp MDPI

Fp MDPI is an inhalation-driven multidose dry powder inhaler (MDPI) containing fluticasone propionate (Fp) dispersed in a lactose monohydrate excipient and contained within a reservoir. A metered dose of drug is delivered to a dose cup via an air pulse activated when the cap is opened. During the treatment period, participants were randomized to 50, 100, 200 or 400 mcg of Fp one inhalation twice a day for a total daily dose of 100, 200, 400 or 800 mcg. Study drug was administered in the morning and in the evening.

OTHER

Placebo MDPI

Placebo multidose dry powder inhaler (MDPI) in the morning and evening. Placebo MDPI was provided in devices identical in appearance to Fp MDPI.

DRUG

Flovent Diskus

Flovent Diskus contains the active ingredient fluticasone propionate (Fp). Flovent Diskus 250 mcg was used twice a day, once in the morning and evening, for a total daily dose of 500 mcg of Fp. This therapy was not blinded as the inhaler device was different than the MDPI used in the other treatment arms.

DRUG

albuterol/salbutamol

A short-acting β2-adrenergic agonists (SABA), albuterol/salbutamol hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) metered dose inhaler (MDI), was provided to be used as needed for the relief of asthma symptoms during both the run-in and treatment periods (to replace the subject's current rescue medication).
