Trial overview
Official title: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, dose ranging study to determine the effect of mepolizumab on exacerbation rates in subjects with severe uncontrolled refractory asthma
Trial description: The purpose of this study is to show whether mepolizumab given every 4 weeks intravenously (i.v.) can reduce the frequency of asthma exacerbations in subjects with severe asthma despite receiving high doses of standard asthma medications. The study will look at different doses of mepolizumab in comparison to a placebo.
Primary purpose:
Treatment
Trial design:
Parallel Assignment
Masking:
Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Allocation:
Randomized
Primary outcomes:
Number of clinically significant exacerbations of asthma per year
Timeframe: From randomization (Week 0) to Week 52 or early withdrawal (EW)
Secondary outcomes:
Time to first clinically significant exacerbation requiring oral or systemic corticosteroid, hospitalization and/ or ED visit
Timeframe: From randomization (Week 0) to Week 52 or EW
Number of exacerbations requiring hospitalization (including intubation and admittance to an intensive care unit [ICU]) or ED visit per year
Timeframe: From randomization (Week 0) to Week 52 or EW
Time to first exacerbation requiring hospitalization or ED visit
Timeframe: From randomization (Week 0) to Week 52 or EW
Number of all recorded exacerbations per year
Timeframe: From randomization (Week 0) to Week 52 or EW
Time to first all recorded exacerbation
Timeframe: From randomization (Week 0) to Week 52 or EW
Mean change from Baseline in clinic pre-bronchodilator FEV1 over the 52-week treatment period
Timeframe: From Baseline up to Week 52 or EW
Mean change from Baseline in clinic post-bronchodilator FEV1 over the 52-week treatment period
Timeframe: From Baseline up to Week 52 or EW
Mean change from Baseline in asthma control questionnaire (ACQ) score over the 52-week treatment period
Timeframe: From Baseline up to Week 52 or EW
