Condition(s) targeted: Asthma

Intervention: fluticasone and salmeterol (Drug); Leukotriene receptor antagonist (Drug); Theophylline (Drug); Tiotropium (Drug)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Recruiting

Sponsored by: University of California, San Diego

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Joe Ramsdell, MD, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: UCSD

Summary

The primary aim of the pilot (SAPS) protocol is to determine the feasibility and utility of implementing the provisional design of the full scale TOM trial (e. g., the six month treatment period, the impact of the smoking cessation intervention). There is no active hypothesis for the Vanguard Protocol.

Clinical Details

Official title: SAPS:Smoking Asthmatics Pilot Study:

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Factorial Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Asthma Control Test

Secondary outcome:

The Asthma Symptom Utility Index(AUSI)

Physiologic Measures

Detailed description: The protocol is a small scale pilot of the full-scale TOM trial, and it will utilize an active control design (stepped up dose of ICS) and incorporates 4 treatment arms. In the Vanguard Protocol all participants are to complete a 4 week run-in with Advair 100/50, followed by randomization to 1 of 4 arms of study treatment. The 4 drug treatment combinations are (2 inhalers, 2 pills):

- Advair 250/50, Placebo, Placebo, Placebo

- Advair 100/50 and LTRA, Placebo, Placebo

- Advair 100/50 and Theo, Placebo, Placebo

- Advair 100/50 and tiotropium, Placebo, Placebo The 24 week treatment phase will be

followed by a 4 week washout period on Advair 100/50. There is no crossover.
