About this trial
This study will evaluate the effect of triple ICS/LAMA/LABA therapy with a BDP/FF/GB 100/6/12.5 µg on asthma control outcomes relative to ICS/LABA therapy with BDP/FF 200/6 μg in a population with asthma poorly controlled.

Treatments tested in this trial
Beclometasone dipropionate, formoterol fumarate, and glycopyrronium bromide (100/6/12.5 µg per actuation)
DrugBeclometasone dipropionate, formoterol fumarate, and glycopyrronium bromide BDP/FF/GB (100/6/12.5 µg per actuation) administered via pressurised metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) 2 inhalations bid (i.e. 2 inhalations in the morning and 2 inhalations in the evening) for a total of 12 months.
Foster® 200/6 pMDI (BDP/FF-200/6 µg)
DrugBeclometasone dipropionate, formoterol fumarate (BDP/FF-200/6 µg) administered via pressurised metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) 2 inhalations bid (i.e. 2 inhalations in the morning and 2 inhalations in the evening) for a total of 12 months.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in ACQ-5 score
To demonstrate non inferiority of BDP/FF/GB-100/6/12.5 µg compared to BDP/FF-200/6 µg in terms of change in the Asthma Control Questionnaire-5 (ACQ-5) at Visit 7 (i.e. at Month 12) versus baseline. ACQ-5 is a one-week recall questionnaire including 5 patient-reported questions, each scored on a 7-point scale (0 = no impairment, 6 = maximum impairment). All questions are equally weighted, and the ACQ-5 score is calculated as the mean of the 5 responses, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 (totally controlled) to 6 (severely uncontrolled).
Secondary outcomes
Change from baseline in ACQ-5 at all applicable visits.
