Efficacy and Safety of PT001 to Placebo and Open-label Spiriva® Respimat® in Subjects With Persistant Asthma

Change From Baseline in Morning Pre-dose Trough FEV1

Time frame: Week 24

Rate of Moderate to Severe Asthma Exacerbations

Rate of moderate to severe Asthma exacerbations (A deterioration of asthma requiring a new or increased dose of ICS for at least 3 days) or severe Asthma exacerbation (Use of systemic corticosteroids (tablets, suspension, or injection) for at least 3 days OR a hospitalization or ER visit because of asthma)

Time frame: over 24 Weeks (timepoints of 4, 12 & 20 weeks)

Change From Baseline in ACQ-7 (Asthma Control Questionnaire)

ACQ-7: The ACQ, comprising 7 questions, is completed in the clinic and requires subjects to recall their experiences during the previous week (7 days) prior to the study visit. The ACQ-5 measures 5 symptoms (woken at night by symptoms, wake in the morning with symptoms, limitation of daily activities, shortness of breath, and wheeze); the ACQ-6 is these symptom measurements plus daily rescue medication use as recalled by the subject; and the ACQ 7 is the ACQ 6 plus airway caliber as measured by pre-bronchodilator FEV1 percent predicted. Each question is scored on a 7-point scale (generally, 0=no impairment, 6=maximum impairment), the questions are equally weighted, and the ACQ score is the mean of the item responses and therefore ranges from 0 (totally controlled) to 6 (severely uncontrolled.
