Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this exploratory investigation is to evaluate if the Forced Expiratory Volume in the 1st second (FEV1) measurements, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) and Provocative Concentration 20 (PC20) after Adenosine Monophosphate (AMP) bronchial challenge evaluated after administration of a fixed combination of a Long-acting Beta-2-agonist (LABA) and an Inhaled Corticosteroid (ICS) at increasing doses may be suitable to demonstrate a dose response.

Inability to comply with study procedures or with study treatment intake. 3. Any significant lung disease which is considered by the investigator to be clinically significant. 4. Patients who suffer from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) 5. Previous or current smokers who have a smoking history greater than 5 pack years. 6. Patients with any uncontrolled disease that might, in the judgment of the investigator, place the patients at undue risk or potentially compromise the results or interpretation of the study. 7.

Patients treated with slow-release corticosteroids 2 months prior to Screening Visit. 14. Patients currently treated with anti-IgE Antibodies. 15. Patients who have had a respiratory tract infection within 4-weeks prior to Screening Visit. 16. Females not willing to use effective contraceptive measures such as oral contraceptive or intra-uterine device (IUD). 17. Females who are pregnant, lactating or planning to become pregnant

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary PC20 after AMP challenge Provocative Concentration of AMP causing a 20% fall in FEV1. 4 h post dose
Primary Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (ppb). FeNO is a biomarker measured in a breath test and it is a validated method for measuring the airway inflammation in asthma. 4 h post dose
Primary Lung function FEV1 area under the curve from 0 to 4 hour post dose (AUC0-4h) from 0 to 4 h post dose
Secondary FENO Fractional exhaled nitric oxide 2 h post dose
