Study Description

Brief Summary

This randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 12-week study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of beclomethasone dipropionate (80 or 160 mcg/day) administered via breath-actuated inhaler (BAI) and metered-dose inhaler (MDI) in pediatric patients 4 through 11 years of age with persistent asthma, compared with placebo.

Patients took 1 inhalation (with assistance from parents/guardians/caregivers, as needed) from each of 2 devices (BAI device followed by MDI device in that order) twice daily as per the double-dummy study design: 1 BAI treatment or placebo device and 1 MDI treatment or placebo device for a total of 2 inhalations each time.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Standardized Baseline-adjusted Trough Morning Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Area Under the Effect Curve From Time 0 to 12 Weeks (AUEC(0-12wk)) [Day 1 (baseline), Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12]

      Trough morning FEV1 measurements were taken pre-dose and pre-rescue bronchodilator treatment for asthma. Baseline was defined as baseline trough morning percent predicted FEV1. Pulmonary function measurements (including FEV1) were obtained electronically by spirometry. All pulmonary function test data were submitted to a central reading center for evaluation. The highest ('best attempt') FEV1 value from 3 acceptable and 2 repeatable maneuvers (maximum of 8 attempts) was used.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Weekly Average of Daily Trough Morning Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) Over the 12-week Treatment Period [Day 1 (baseline), weeks 1-12]

      The analysis of change from baseline in weekly average of daily trough morning (pre-dose and pre-rescue bronchodilator) PEF calculated across the 12-week treatment period was performed using a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) with effects due to baseline weekly average of daily trough morning PEF.

    2. Change From Baseline in Weekly Average of Daily Evening Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) Over the 12-week Treatment Period [Day 1 (baseline), weeks 1-12]

      The analysis of change from baseline in the weekly average of daily evening PEF across the 12-week treatment period was performed using a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) with effects due to baseline weekly average of daily evening PEF.

    3. Change From Baseline in the Weekly Average of Total Daily (24-hour) Use of Albuterol/Salbutamol Inhalation Aerosol (Number of Inhalations) Over Weeks 1-12 [Day 1 (baseline), weeks 1-12]

      The change from baseline in the weekly average of total daily (24-hour) use of albuterol/ salbutamol inhalation aerosol (number of inhalations) across the 12 weeks was analyzed using a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM).

    4. Change From Baseline in the Weekly Average of the Total Daily Asthma Symptom Score Over Weeks 1-12 [Day 1 (baseline), weeks 1-12]

      The total daily asthma symptom score is the average of the daytime and nighttime scores analyzed using an mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM). Baseline was defined as the average of recorded morning and evening asthma symptom scores over the 7 days before randomization. Daytime Scores range from 0=No symptoms during the day to 5=Symptoms so severe that I could not go to work or perform normal daily activities; Nighttime Scores range from 0=No symptoms during the night to 4=Symptoms so severe that I did not sleep at all. The daily asthma symptom score was therefore 0 - 9 with 0=no symptoms during the day or night and 9=severe symptoms both day and night.

    5. Kaplan-Meier Estimates For Time to Withdrawal Due to Meeting Stopping Criteria for Worsening Asthma During the 12-week Treatment Period [Day 1 to 12 weeks]

      Time to withdrawal due to meeting stopping criteria was defined as number of days elapsed from the date of first dose of double-blind study treatment to the date of withdrawal due to meeting stopping criteria. Kaplan-Meier estimates (median and 95% CI of the median) are not applicable if the proportion of participants withdrawn is less than 0.5.

    • Other criteria apply, please contact the investigator for more information

    Exclusion Criteria:
    • The patient has a history of life-threatening asthma, defined for this protocol as an asthma episode that required intubation and/or was associated with hypercapnia, respiratory arrest, or hypoxic seizures.

    • The patient has had an asthma exacerbation requiring oral corticosteroids within 30 days before screening visit, or has had any hospitalization for asthma within 2 months before screening visit.

    • The patient has historical or current evidence of a clinically significant disease. Significant disease is defined as any disease that in the medical judgment of the investigator would put the safety of the patient at risk through participation or that could affect the efficacy or safety analysis if the disease/condition worsened during the study.

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Standardized Baseline-adjusted Trough Morning Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Area Under the Effect Curve From Time 0 to 12 Weeks (AUEC(0-12wk))
    Description Trough morning FEV1 measurements were taken pre-dose and pre-rescue bronchodilator treatment for asthma. Baseline was defined as baseline trough morning percent predicted FEV1. Pulmonary function measurements (including FEV1) were obtained electronically by spirometry. All pulmonary function test data were submitted to a central reading center for evaluation. The highest ('best attempt') FEV1 value from 3 acceptable and 2 repeatable maneuvers (maximum of 8 attempts) was used.
    Time Frame Day 1 (baseline), Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    The full analysis set (FAS) included all patients in the ITT population who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had at least 1 post baseline trough morning (pre-dose and pre-rescue bronchodilator) assessment of percent predicted FEV1.

    5. Secondary Outcome
    Title Change From Baseline in the Weekly Average of the Total Daily Asthma Symptom Score Over Weeks 1-12
    Description The total daily asthma symptom score is the average of the daytime and nighttime scores analyzed using an mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM). Baseline was defined as the average of recorded morning and evening asthma symptom scores over the 7 days before randomization. Daytime Scores range from 0=No symptoms during the day to 5=Symptoms so severe that I could not go to work or perform normal daily activities; Nighttime Scores range from 0=No symptoms during the night to 4=Symptoms so severe that I did not sleep at all. The daily asthma symptom score was therefore 0 - 9 with 0=no symptoms during the day or night and 9=severe symptoms both day and night.

    6. Secondary Outcome
    Title Kaplan-Meier Estimates For Time to Withdrawal Due to Meeting Stopping Criteria for Worsening Asthma During the 12-week Treatment Period
    Description Time to withdrawal due to meeting stopping criteria was defined as number of days elapsed from the date of first dose of double-blind study treatment to the date of withdrawal due to meeting stopping criteria. Kaplan-Meier estimates (median and 95% CI of the median) are not applicable if the proportion of participants withdrawn is less than 0.5.
    Time Frame Day 1 to 12 weeks
