Study summary

This study is a multicenter, stratified, randomized, active control, double-blinded, parallel-group comparative study with an open-label extension period. The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FP/ SLM HFA MDI 50/25 microgram (mcg) one or two inhalation twice daily (BID) for 8 weeks in comparison with FP HFA MDI 50 mcg one or two inhalation BID, in 6-month to 4-year-old Japanese patients with bronchial asthma. The study is also designed to evaluate the safety of long-term treatment of FP/ SLM HFA MDI 50/25 mcg one or two BID for 16 weeks.

The subjects meeting the eligibility criteria will enter the run-in period of 2 weeks and receive FP 50 mcg 1 or 2 inhalation bid (FP 100 or 200 mcg/day), before randomization. The subjects under 2 years of age at Visit 1 will receive only 1 inhalation bid during the run-in period. The subjects who meet the eligibility criteria for randomization will be stratified according to their age (\<2 or >=2 year-old) at Visit 1 and randomized to one of the two treatment groups.

The total duration of participation in the study will be 10 weeks for a comparison period completion and 27 weeks for a completion.

Primary outcomes

  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Total Asthma Symptom Score (Daytime Plus Night Time) at the End of the Treatment Period 1 (TP1)

    The participant's parent or legally acceptable representative made entries asthma symptom experienced by the participant in a patient diary twice daily (day time and night time) in the form of scores on a 4-point rating scale from Baseline (Week -1) until end of TP1 (Week 8). Scores ranged from 0 to 3(0: one, 1: mild, 2: moderate, 3: severe) and maximum score is 6 per day. The Baseline value is a mean value of the last 7 consecutive days during the run-in period (excluding the day of Visit 2 \[Randomization\]). The end of the TP1 value is a mean value of the last 7 consecutive days during the TP1 (excluding the last day of the TP1). Change from Baseline is the difference between the value of the endpoint at the time point of interest and the Baseline value. Participants who completed TP1 and completed their diary were analyzed.

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 8

Scores ranged from 0 to 3(0: one, 1: mild, 2: moderate, 3: severe) and maximum score is 3 per day. Change from Baseline in the asthma symptom scores at night time at the end of TP1 was analyzed. The Baseline value is a mean value of the last 7 consecutive days during the run-in period (excluding the day of Visit 2 \[Randomization\]). The end of the TP1 value is a mean value of the last 7 consecutive days during the TP1 (excluding the last day of the TP1). Change from Baseline is the difference between the value of the endpoint at the time point of interest and the Baseline value. Participants who completed TP1 and completed their diary were analyzed.

Scores ranged from 0 to 3(0: one, 1: mild, 2: moderate, 3: severe) and maximum score is 3 per day. Change from Baseline in the asthma symptom scores at day time at the end of TP1 was analyzed. The Baseline value is a mean value of the last 7 consecutive days during the run-in period (excluding the day of Visit 2 \[Randomization\]). The end of the TP1 value is a mean value of the last 7 consecutive days during the TP1 (excluding the last day of the TP1). Change from Baseline is the difference between the value of the endpoint at the time point of interest and the Baseline value. Participants who completed TP1 and completed their diary were analyzed.

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 8

  3. Number of Participants With at Least One Asthma Exacerbation in Treatment Period 1 (TP1)

    The definition of exacerbations was amended during the study. \<Original\> An exacerbation is defined as deterioration of asthma requiring the use of systemic corticosteroids (oral, parenteral, or depot) for at least 3 days or an in-patient hospitalization or emergency department visit due to asthma that required systemic corticosteroids. \<Amendment\> An asthma exacerbation is defined as deterioration of asthma requiring the use of prednisone or hydrocortisone equivalent systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 days, or requiring the use of dexamethasone or betametasone equivalent systemic corticosteroids (oral, intravenous or intramuscular), or requiring the use of systemic depot corticosteroids once, or an in-patient hospitalization that required treatment for respiratory symptom with wheezing, or emergency department visit due to asthma that required intravenous systemic corticosteroids.

    Time frame: Up to 8 weeks

  4. Mean Change From Baseline in Japanese Pediatric Asthma Control Program (JPAC) Score at the End of Treatment Period 1 (TP1)

    Severity and control statuses based on Japanese pediatric guideline for the treatment and management of asthma (JPGL) can be assessed according to JPAC. Theoretically range of JPAC score was 0 (poor control) to 18 (complete control) point. JPAC questionnaire was recorded at Baseline (Week -2) and Week 8 by the participant's parent or legally acceptable representative who knew the participant's asthma for the last month. Change from Baseline is the difference between the value of the endpoint at the time point of interest and the Baseline value. Participants who completed TP1 were analyzed.

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 8

  5. Mean Change From Baseline in Use of Rescue Medication (Number of Occasions Used During a 24-hour Period) in Treatment Period 1 (TP1)

    The number of inhalations of rescue salbutamol inhalation aerosol (medication used to relieve symptoms immediately) used during the day and night was recorded by the participant's parent or legally acceptable representative twice daily in a patient diary from Baseline (Week -1) until Week 8. A 24-hour period in which a participant's responses to both the morning and evening assessments indicated no use of rescue medication was considered as rescue free. Participants who were rescue free for 24-hour periods during the 8 weeks in TP1 were assessed. The Baseline value was derived from the last 7 days of the patient diary prior to the randomization of the participant. Change from Baseline is the difference between the value of the endpoint at the time point of interest and the Baseline value. Participants who completed TP1 and completed their diary were analyzed.

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 8

  6. Mean Change From Baseline in Use of Rescue Medication (Percentage of Days With Rescue-free 24-hour Period) at the End of Treatment Period 1 (TP1)

    The number of inhalations of rescue salbutamol inhalation aerosol (medication used to relieve symptoms immediately) used during the day and night was recorded by the participant's parent or legally acceptable representative twice daily in a patient diary. A 24-hour period in which a participant's responses to both the morning and evening assessments indicated no use of rescue medication was considered as rescue free. Participants who were rescue free for 24-hour periods during the 8-week Treatment Period were assessed. The Baseline value was derived from the last 7 days of the patient diary prior to the randomization of the participant. Change from Baseline is the difference between the value of the endpoint at the time point of interest and the Baseline value. Participants who completed TP1 and completed their diary were analyzed.

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 8

  7. Mean Change From Baseline in Total Asthma Symptom Score (Daytime Plus Night Time) at the End of the Treatment Period 2 (TP2)

    The participant's parent or legally acceptable representative recorded asthma symptoms experienced by the participant in a patient diary twice daily (daytime and night time) in the form of scores on a 4-point rating scale from Baseline (Week -1) until end of TP2 (Week 24). Scores ranged from 0 (none) to 3 (severe) and maximum score is 6 per day. Change from Baseline in the asthma symptom scores at daytime plus night time at the end of TP2 was analyzed. The Baseline value is a mean value of the last 7 consecutive days during the run-in period (excluding the day of Visit 2 \[Randomization\]).The end of the TP2 value is a mean value of the last 7 consecutive days during the TP2 (excluding the last day of the TP2). Change from Baseline is the difference between the value of the endpoint at the time point of interest and the Baseline value.
