Study summary

This study is a randomized, active- and placebo-controlled, single-dose, seven-arm, crossover and dose-ranging design. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and initial safety profiles, and to identify the optimum dose of A006, from a select dose-range for future clinical PK/PD and Phase III studies. This study is to be conducted in generally healthy, adult subjects who have mild-to-moderate persistent asthma for at least 6 months prior to Screening.

Inclusion criteria

  • With mild-to-moderate persistent asthma for at least 6 months and having used inhaled beta-agonist for asthma control;
  • Must demonstrate response to beta 2 agonist by Reversing;
  • Must demonstrate ability to use DPI;
  • Females of must be non-pregnant, non-lactating, and practicing a clinically acceptable form of ;
  • Additional Criteria

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Smoking history of ≥ 10 pack-years, or having smoked within 6 months;
  • Upper respiratory tract infections
  • Asthma exacerbations;
  • Known intolerance or to any of the ingredients of the study drug or Proventil®;
  • Use of prohibited drugs or failure to observe the drug restrictions;
  • Having been on other clinical drug/device studies in the last 30 days;
  • Other Criteria
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Washout period

A planned gap after a treatment, so that its effects can lessen before the study treatment or a study assessment. Ask the study team and the doctor who prescribed it before changing any medicine.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. AUC

    Area under the curve (AUC) of post-dose FEV1 percentage changes from the Pre-dose Baseline. The primary analysis of the primary endpoint is to compare the AUC0-t of FEV1, between the A006 treatments and the Placebo Control.

    Time frame: 5, 20, 40, 60, 90; 120, 180, 240, and 360 minutes post-dose.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to Effect

    Time to onset of bronchodilator effect

    Time frame: 0 to 360 minutes

  2. Peak Response

    peak bronchodilator response

    Time frame: 0 - 360 minutes

  3. Duration

    Duration of effect

    Time frame: 0 - 360 minutes

  4. Response Rate

    Bronchodilatory Response Rate

    Time frame: 0 - 360 minutes

  5. Hand Tremor

    Evaluation of hand tremor

    Time frame: within 5 min. prior to dosing and 50 and 360 min post-dose.

  6. Vital Signs

    Pulse, heartrate, respirations, blood pressure

    Time frame: within 15 min. prior to dosing, and 30, 90 and 360 min post-dose.

  7. 12 lead ECG

    12-lead ECG for routine and QT/QTc evaluations

    Time frame: within 15 min. prior to dosing and at 50 and 360 min postdose.

  8. Blood Work

    Collect blood samples (\~5 mL) for serum glucose and K+ tests

    Time frame: within 15 min. prior to dosing, and 30 and 120 min. postdose
