Study Summary

The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2.5 and 5 mcg tiotropium over a 24-week treatment period as compared to placebo and salmeterol (50 mcg twice daily). Tiotropium inhalation solution delivered by the Respimat® inhaler will be examined on top of maintenance treatment with inhaled corticosteroid controller medication in patients with moderate persistent asthma. Efficacy and safety will be assessed by measuring effects on lung function, effects on asthma exacerbations, effects on quality of life, effects on asthma control, effects on health care resource utilisation, and number of adverse events.

Primary Outcome

Peak forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) response within 3 hours post-dose determined at the end of the 24-week treatment. Response was defined as change from baseline (10 minutes before the first dose of trial medication at visit 2). Means are adjusted for treatment, centre, week, baseline, treatment by week, and baseline by week.

Interventions

  • DRUG placebo
  • DRUG tiotropium Respimat® low dose
