A Phase II Study to Investigate Lung Function With 2 Different Doses of Inhaled Glycopyrronium Taken With BFF Compared to BFF in Participants of 4 to Less Than 12 Years of Age With Asthma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of 2 different GP metered dose inhaler (MDI) doses relative to placebo MDI as add-on treatment to BFF MDI on lung function in participants 4 to less than 12 years of age with asthma.

About this study

This is a Phase II, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, 3-period, 6-sequence crossover study evaluating two doses of GP Metered-Dose Inhaler (MDI) compared with placebo MDI as add-on therapy to BFF MDI.

The study comprises a 3-week run-in period, followed by three 3-week treatment periods where participants will be randomized to one of six treatment sequences, and a safety follow-up visit 12 to 16 days after the last dose of study intervention.

The treatment periods are as follows:

  • Treatment A: BFF MDI + GP MDI Dose A
  • Treatment B: BFF MDI + GP MDI Dose B
  • Treatment C: BFF MDI + Placebo MDI

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Main Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants who have a documented history of physician-diagnosed asthma
  • Participants who have been using a stable and regular inhaled corticosteroid plus one additional asthma controller medication.
  • Participants must have a Childhood Asthma Control Test score ≥ 19.
  • Participants must have a pre-bronchodilator FEV1 ≤ 95% of predicted normal value.
  • Body mass index (BMI) ≤ 95 percentile for age and body weight of ≥ 14 kg or higher.
  • Female participants who experience menarche must have a negative urine pregnancy test.
  • Received no asthma medication other than run-in BFF MDI BID and albuterol/salbutamol as needed.

Main Exclusion Criteria:

  • Life-threatening asthma defined as a history of significant asthma episode(s) requiring intubation associated with hypercapnia, respiratory arrest, hypoxic seizures, or asthma-related syncopal episode(s).
  • Historical or current evidence of a clinically significant disease including, but not limited to cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, hematological, neurological, endocrine, gastrointestinal, or pulmonary.
  • Any clinically relevant abnormal findings in physical examination, clinical chemistry, hematology, vital signs, or ECG.
  • Hospitalization for asthma
  • Narrow-angle glaucoma not adequately treated and/or change in vision, bladder dysfunction, bladder outlet obstruction/urinary retention or any other conditions where anticholinergic treatment is contraindicated and may be relevant.
  • Use of Long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), either alone or as part of an inhaled combination therapy.
  • Current use of any systemic beta-blockers.
  • Respiratory infection involving antibiotic treatment.
  • Systemic corticosteroid use for any reason (including asthma exacerbations).
  • Participants with a known hypersensitivity to beta 2-agonists, corticosteroids, anticholinergics, or any component of the MDI.
  • Participants who are medically unable to withhold their short-acting bronchodilators and other asthma medications.
  • Any use of marketed (eg, omalizumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, reslizumab) or investigational biologic.
  • Regular use of a nebulizer or a home nebulizer for receiving asthma medications.
  • Use of any immunomodulators or immunosuppressive medication.

Treatment and study plan

GP MDI

Combination Product

GP MDI will be administered via oral inhalation twice daily (BID).

BFF MDI

Combination Product

BFF MDI will be administered via oral inhalation BID.

Placebo MDI

Combination Product

Placebo MDI will be adminsitered via oral inhalation BID.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in Forced Expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) at 1-hour post-dose measured at End of treatment (EoT)

    Time frame: at 3 weeks

    Evaluate the effect of 2 different GP MDI doses relative to placebo MDI as an add-on treatment to BFF MDI on lung function in 4 to less than 12 years old participants with asthma.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in morning pre-dose trough FEV1 at EOT

    Time frame: at 3 weeks

    Evaluate the effect of 2 different GP MDI doses relative to placebo MDI as add-on treatment to BFF MDI on lung function in 4 to less than 12 years old participants with asthma.

Other outcomes

  1. Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) and Adverse events of special interest (AESIs)

    Time frame: Up to Follow-up (2 weeks after last dose)(Approximately 14 weeks)

    To evaluate the safety profile of GP MDI relative to placebo MDI as add-on treatment to BFF MDI in participants aged 4 to less than 12 years.
