Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a 24 week study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of budesonide and formoterol fumarate metered dose inhaler in adults and adolescents with inadequately controlled asthma.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: BFF MDI 320/9.6 μg
  • Drug: BFF MDI 160/9.6 μg
  • Drug: BD MDI 320 μg
  • Drug: Open-label Symbicort TBH 320/9 μg
Phase 3

Detailed Description

This is a Phase III randomized, double-blind, active comparison, parallel group, multicenter study comparing BFF MDI 320/9.6 μg to BD MDI 320 µg and open-label Symbicort TBH 320/9 μg in adult and adolescent participants who have asthma which remains inadequately controlled (ACQ-7 total score ≥ 1.5) despite treatment with medium dose ICS or ICS/LABA. Budesonide and Formoterol Fumarate MDI 160/9.6 μg is included in this study to evaluate dose response by comparing to BFF MDI 320/9.6 μg. All doses represent the sum of 2 actuations. All study interventions will be administered BID for 24 weeks.

This study will be conducted at approximately 125 sites worldwide and will randomize approximately 630 adult and adolescent participants.

    8. Demonstrate acceptable MDI administration technique.

    9. eDiary compliance ≥ 70% during screening, defined as completing the daily eDiary and answering "Yes" to taking 2 puffs of run-in BD MDI for any 10 mornings and 10 evenings in the last 14 days prior to randomization.

    Exclusion Criteria:
    1. Life-threatening asthma as defined as a history of significant asthma episode(s) requiring intubation associated with hypercapnia, respiratory arrest, hypoxic seizures, or asthma related syncopal episode(s).

    2. Any respiratory infection or asthma exacerbation treated with systemic corticosteroids and/or additional ICS treatment in the 8 weeks prior to Visit 1 and throughout the Screening Period.

    3. Hospitalization for asthma within 8 weeks of Visit 1.

    4. Historical or current evidence of a clinically significant disease including, but not limited to: cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, hematological, neurological, endocrine, gastrointestinal, or pulmonary (eg, active tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, pulmonary eosinophilic syndromes, and COPD). Significant is defined as any disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would put the safety of the participant at risk through participation, or that could affect the efficacy or safety analysis.

    5. Known history of drug or alcohol abuse within 12 months of Visit 1.

    6. Use of a nebulizer or a home nebulizer for receiving asthma medications.

    7. Current smokers, former smokers with > 10 pack-years history, or former smokers who stopped smoking < 6 months prior to Visit 1 (including all forms of tobacco, e-cigarettes or other vaping devices, and marijuana).
