Brief Summary:
The aim of this exploratory investigation is to evaluate if the Forced Expiratory Volume in the 1st second (FEV1) measurements, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) and Provocative Concentration 20 (PC20) after Adenosine Monophosphate (AMP) bronchial challenge evaluated after administration of a fixed combination of a Long-acting Beta-2-agonist (LABA) and an Inhaled Corticosteroid (ICS) at increasing doses may be suitable to demonstrate a dose response.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. PC20 after AMP challenge [ Time Frame: 4 h post dose ]
    Provocative Concentration of AMP causing a 20% fall in FEV1.

  2. Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) [ Time Frame: 4 h post dose ]
    Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (ppb). FeNO is a biomarker measured in a breath test and it is a validated method for measuring the airway inflammation in asthma.

  3. Lung function [ Time Frame: from 0 to 4 h post dose ]
    FEV1 area under the curve from 0 to 4 hour post dose (AUC0-4h)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. FENO [ Time Frame: 2 h post dose ]
    Fractional exhaled nitric oxide
