Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to demonstrate a clinically significant improvement in Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) in moderate to severe allergic asthmatics inadequately controlled by Inhaled Corticosteroid (ICS) therapy. Patients will be treated with QAW039, an active comparator, or placebo. This will be a randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging, multi-centre trial.

Outcome
Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change in trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) from baseline to week 12 Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) (measured in litters), and the trough measurement is taken 24 hours after morning dose on the previous day. Baseline and week 12
Secondary Change in Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) score from baseline to week 12 The Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) is a validated questionnaire consisting of 7 items: 5 on symptom assessment, 1 on rescue bronchodilator use and 1 assessing the patients Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) result against the predicted result for a person of similar age and stature. Each item is graded on a scale of 0-6, and a mean score of 1.5 or greater is considered to demonstrate inadequate asthma control in this trial. The minimal important difference that is considered clinically important is a change of 0.5 in the mean score. Baseline and week 12
Secondary Change in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) from baseline to weeks 2, 4 and 8. Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) (measured in litters), and the measurement is taken 24 hours after the morning dose on the previous day. Baseline, week 2, week 4 and week 8
Secondary Change in the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) score from baseline to weeks 2, 4 and 8. The Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) is a validated questionnaire consisting of 7 items: 5 on symptom assessment, 1 on rescue bronchodilator use and 1 assessing the patients Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) result against the predicted result for a person of similar age and stature. Each item is graded on a scale of 0-6, and a mean score of 1.5 or greater is considered to demonstrate inadequate asthma control in this trial. The minimal important difference that is considered clinically important is a change of 0.5 in the mean score. Baseline, week 2, week 4 and week 8
Secondary Change in the dose response relationship among QAW039 doses with respect to Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) after 12 weeks treatment. Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) (measured in litters), and the measurement is taken 24 hours after the morning dose on the previous day. Baseline and week 12
Secondary Comparison of vital signs, ECG, laboratory tests and adverse events across QAW039 doses and placebo. Comparisons of vital signs (i.e. systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate), ECG (e.g. quantitative assessments - heart rate, QTcF, PRS, PR intervals), laboratory tests (haematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis) and adverse events across QAW039 doses and placebo. Baseline and week 12
Secondary Comparison of efficacy of QAW039 with that of active comparator as an add-on therapy to Inhaled Corticosteroids (ICS) Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) measurement taken 24 hours after the morning dose on the previous day. The Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ)consisting of 7 items: 5 on system assessment, 1 on rescue bronchodilator use and 1 assessing the patients for FEV1 result against the predicted result for a person of similar age and stature. Each item is graded on a scale of 0-6, and a mean score of 1.5 or greater is considered to demonstrate inadequate asthma control in this trial. The minimal important difference that is considered clinically important is a change of 0.5 in the mean score. Baseline and week 12
Secondary Assess the effect of QAW039 on asthma symptoms as measured by asthma control diary. The asthma control diary mimics the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ), but is recorded daily by the patient, rather than at each visit. As for the ACQ, the ACD consists of 7 questions. Baseline and week 12
