A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Five Period Cross-over Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Selected Doses and Dose Intervals of GW642444 Administered Via a Novel Dry Powder Inhaler (NDPI) in Subjects ≥18 Years of Age With Persistent Asthma
A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Five Period Cross-over Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Selected Doses and Dose Intervals of GW642444 Administered Via a Novel Dry Powder Inhaler (NDPI) in Subjects ≥18 Years of Age With Persistent Asthma
The study is a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of selected doses and dose intervals of the novel long acting beta agonist (LABA), GW642444 in asthmatic subjects ≥18 years of age who are currently receiving inhaled corticosteroid treatment.
The study will be a five-period cross-over study with each 7 day treatment period separated by a 7 day wash-out period. The study will enroll asthmatic subjects ≥18 years of age who are currently receiving inhaled corticosteroid treatment with an FEV1 of between 40-85% of predicted normal and with airway reversibility as demonstrated by an increase in FEV1 of ≥12% and ≥200ml .
Efficacy assessments include 24-hour serial lung function testing. Safety assessments include incidence of adverse events and measurement of vital signs.
