What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests an inhaler with three medications to help people with severe asthma who don't respond well to usual treatments. The inhaler reduces inflammation, relaxes muscles around the airways, and keeps them open longer. The study aims to see if this combination is more effective and safe compared to other treatments.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial requires participants to adjust their current asthma therapy as needed, and certain medications like LAMA, oral beta2-agonists, and some biologics must not be used during the study. You should discuss your specific medications with the study team to see if any changes are needed.

Is the PT010 Inhaler safe for humans?

Research shows that the combination of budesonide and formoterol, which are components of the PT010 Inhaler, has been evaluated for safety in treating asthma. Studies indicate that these medications are generally well-tolerated and safe for use in humans with mild to severe asthma.12345

What makes the PT010 inhaler drug unique for severe asthma?

The PT010 inhaler combines three medications—budesonide, formoterol, and glycopyrronium—into a single inhaler, which is unique because it offers a comprehensive approach by including an inhaled corticosteroid, a long-acting beta-agonist, and a long-acting muscarinic antagonist. This combination can improve lung function and reduce asthma symptoms more effectively than using these medications separately or in pairs.13678

What data supports the effectiveness of the PT010 inhaler for severe asthma?

Research shows that using a combination of budesonide and formoterol in a single inhaler improves lung function and reduces asthma symptoms more effectively than using budesonide alone. Additionally, combining budesonide with glycopyrronium and formoterol has been shown to improve lung function and reduce exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), suggesting potential benefits for severe asthma as well.35789

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

Adults and adolescents aged 12 to 80 with severe asthma not well-controlled by standard treatments. Must have been diagnosed with asthma for at least a year, regularly using certain inhaled medications, and meet specific lung function criteria. Excludes current smokers or those who quit recently, people on certain other asthma or immunosuppressive drugs, recent users of oral steroids, and individuals with serious allergies to trial medication components.

Inclusion Criteria

I am aged 12-17 and have shown a health improvement of 12% before or during the study visits.
Note: Reversibility testing is still required at Visit 2 and/or Visit 3, even if the patient has documented historical reversibility reported in the 12 months prior to Visit 1.
My lung function improved by at least 12% and 200 mL after taking albuterol.

I am allergic to certain asthma or COPD medications.
I've been hospitalized for severe asthma needing a breathing tube.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

  • Budesonide
  • Formoterol
  • Glycopyrronium
Trial Overview The study is testing the effectiveness of a new inhaler containing budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol (BGF) compared to existing therapies for severe asthma. Participants will use one of four different dose combinations of BGF or similar medications over a variable period to see if it better controls their symptoms.

Published Research Related to This Trial

In a study of 373 patients with moderate persistent asthma, Symbicort (budesonide/formoterol) significantly improved lung function compared to fluticasone propionate, with greater increases in morning peak expiratory flow (PEF) and fewer asthma exacerbations.
Symbicort also led to better overall asthma control, as indicated by a higher percentage of symptom-free days and reduced reliance on reliever medication, while both treatments were well tolerated.
Combination therapy with single inhaler budesonide/formoterol compared with high dose of fluticasone propionate alone in patients with moderate persistent asthma.Bateman, ED., Bantje, TA., João Gomes, M., et al.[2019]
In pivotal phase III trials lasting 24-52 weeks, the combination of budesonide, glycopyrronium, and formoterol significantly reduced moderate to severe COPD exacerbations and improved lung function compared to other combinations.
This inhaler was well tolerated and not only improved symptoms like dyspnoea and quality of life but also reduced the risk of all-cause mortality, making it a strong option for patients with inadequately controlled COPD.
Budesonide/Glycopyrronium/Formoterol: A Review in COPD.Heo, YA.[2022]
In a study involving 177 adults with persistent asthma, once-daily administration of budesonide Turbuhaler (400 microg) significantly improved lung function (FEV1) and reduced asthma symptoms compared to placebo over a 12-week period.
The treatment was found to be safe, with adverse events being mostly mild or moderate and similar in frequency to those in the placebo group, indicating that budesonide is a viable option for inhaled corticosteroid-naive patients.
